    A US website for gun enthusiasts is selling Holocaust-style Star of David patches to its clientele, encouraging them to wear them to highlight their perceived persecution by liberals

    Pat Meehan says he saw younger aide as 'a soul mate' but denies harassment

    "Meehan denied any harassment, and said any anger in the office was driven by stress around high-pressure votes last year over the Affordable Care Act. He said he sought to remain loyal to his wife, and that he settled the harassment claim so he and the young aide could move on and keep the issue private."

    • what kind of opportunities would an uneducated, unskilled, no money, shit hole citizen have here in the US?omg
    • let’s ask omgGuyFawkes
    • same as you, omg, same as youmonospaced
    • access to welfare is not opportunity.omg
    • that’s because you’re unskilled, uneducated and have no money, you retardmonospaced
    • the low skill workers have enough opportunities that you're here complaining about them. https://www.youtube.…dorf
    • Obama sold us out, created high taxes, and high unemployment.omg
    • You're a fucking idiot. Obama admin's moves to save us from Bush's great recession lowered unemployment every month he was in officeallthethings
    • nice try omg. you can't offer a counter so you post some nonsense about obama. SAD!dorf
    • Make QBN Yawn Againgarbage
    • Giving Obama credit for this economic turnaround? Latino and Black unemployment hitting 17-Year low and Booming Stock Market. Manufacturing jobs boom. ok.omg
    • How exactly does killing off 83,000 coal mining jobs lower unemployment?omg
    • /\lost 83,000 but gained 11,250,000 - manufacturing and fossil energy have been in decline in the states for decades and you're ready to blame it on one person.ben_
    • You know Obama could have tried to save those jobs instead of destroying those lives of hardworking people.omg
    • states implemented training programs for those displaced so they could transition to other industries thanks to obama era grants and funds.dorf
    • Ineffective re-training programs. If there are no jobs, there's nothing you can train them for. They already had good skilled jobs, Obama didn't MAGA for them.omg
    • why aren't you blaming the energy markets for its supply of cheap natural gas? explain how obama could've "saved those jobs"?dorf
    • Clean coal technology would have been a good start. Better than killing those Sun Tanning Salons.omg
    • ok, "clean coal" is a myth but suppose that it works. natural gas is cheaper to produce, what then?dorf
    • How is it a myth when many examples of clean coal technologies are operating throughout the U.S.?omg
    • The advantage of clean coal is environmental friendliness, yet coal is still used in many places in the world.omg
    • So when the sun don't shine and the wind doesn't blow, coal is where you go and it won't blow up in your face like natural gas.omg
    • Dude, it's 83,000 vs 11,250,000 - life literally sucks sometimes. Think of all the manufacturing jobs lost because Americans insisted on making EVERYTHING cheapben_
    • Perhaps start with incineration energy to burn the copious amounts of garbage your country offloads to everywhere else in the world, retrain those 83,000...ben_
    • ...to load garbage into a chute, push a button and repeat. It's working in Scandinavia!ben_
    • lol. life sucks huh? tell me how bad your life sucks. what a load of bullshit!omg
    • again, how do you save coal jobs when the energy industry is moving to cheaper sources?dorf
    • I didn't say my life sucks, only that the reality of life sucks sometimes. It's too bad people have lost their jobs, but you're talking about .028%ben_
    • of the American population like it's the end of the fucking world. Some may not find jobs or retraining and that's truly sad, but that is part of life.ben_
    • The economic policies that Trump supports and you support by proxy will do much worse to many more.ben_
    • Where are you getting your .028% from? Is that based on how many people live on the planet?omg
    • @dorf. to save those coal jobs, they could focus on storage compression and transportation.omg
    • @omg - no it's based on 300,000,000 people, which is less than the entire population of America.ben_
    • So a little more math for you - if the working population of the states is about 150M, then that means those 83,000 coal jobs accounted for...ben_
    • just a hair over .06% of the workforce. So while I have empathy, you're making a lot out of a statistically insignificant number.ben_
    • But you got me curious - and 83,000 is 0.0012% of the entire planet's 7B people.
      Hope this helps give you some perspective.
      ben_
    • Wyoming being the top state for coal mining is about 590,000. with an avg of 2.5 per household. You're talking about affecting 34% of its inhabitantsomg
    • You, like Obama saw this as a minuscule issue of .0012% and killed off an entire group of hardworking people to put them on welfare.omg
    • "killed off an entire group of people"? hmm, no. And why is their only option welfare? I live in a town where 20% of employment left when steel tanked...ben_
    • hard times for sure, but people bounce back and life goes on.ben_
    • Anyway, my point is that in terms of jobs, Obama contributed more good than bad on a macro level by a huge margin. Of course the people who are affected...ben_
    • directly would see it differently, and we should be empathetic, but your assertion that it's some sort of genocide without any hope is a bit much...ben_
    • Time will tell the effect that Trump's tax "reform" and blowhard promises to the working class will have (my money is on negative)...ben_
    • but so far it seems a lot like his empathy is with people who are in the same tax bracket as he claims to be.ben_
    • There wasn't any need to decimate these 83,000 jobs. Obama thought welfare and useless re-training programs was the solution.omg
    • ...and for what purpose? Obama is known as the nation's 'Great Destroyer'omg
    • ^ lol ok / yawngarbage
    • I'd argue further, but posting this would be easier. https://e360.yale.ed…ben_
    • irreversible coal jobs lost would still be blamed on Obama. Yet it begs to questions, why did Obama terminate those jobs unnecessarily?omg
    • Obama terminated those jobs? Seems like the coal industry had quite a few options yet never innovated and is still on a decline. Natural gas, nuclear, etc.ben_
    • You seem to think in order for one to succeed, another must fail. In addition, people can still work, even if a company is experiencing a decline.omg
    • You can double those unemployment numbers and those affected by adding in the Tanning Tax. Folks who commuted suicide thanks to Obama.omg
    • Here you go again conflating anecdotes with epidemic.ben_
    • Better than being an Obama apologist pretending he was scandal free...omg
    • If you say so.ben_
    • I know it's just .028% to you, but the US is working on bringing jobs back there. I'm not sure why you think those policies are going to make things worse...omg
    • Those jobs are never coming back, and you are either a fucking moron or arguing in bad faith.garbage
    • There are many great uses for coal and can be used in combination with solar. Perhaps it could be a great element to use when building the wall.omg
    • You can't build a 2000 mile US-Mexico border wall with natural gas.omg
    • Little too on the nose there, nobody is buying your bit.garbage
    • lol, what does that even mean, my bit?omg
    • your act, your schtick, the fact that you are unbelievably stupid, to the point of literal disbelief at your idiocymonospaced
    • you sound like such a trump supporting retard, people can't believe it could be anything but a character ... I know better though, you're really an assholemonospaced
    • ... even worse, you're a troll, and it's not even intentional. You simply can't help yourself, spewing the bigotry, hate and fear dailymonospaced

    How Donald Trump's Schizoid Administration Upended the GOP

    Excerpt:

    ...the final wipeout of Bannon came at roughly the same time Trump was helping the GOP elders pass a tax-reform bill that was shepherded through by infamous Goldman Sachs heavy Gary Cohn and was, predictably, a massive giveaway to the rich. After all that anti-establishment Sturm und Drang, in other words, Trump in just a year had been reduced to a dumber, louder version of what he spent the entire 2016 race running against: a patrician Republican toady. The Trump-voter mob was still out there, furious, but the swamp avenger they sent to Washington no longer existed even in theory.

  • allthethings2

    Even better excerpt:

    Republicans have been forced to try to rule while being consumed from within by cancerous divisions, a spectacle that's grown more gruesome and unseemly with each passing month. Watching this schizoid administration try to rule in spite of itself has been like watching the world's worst comedian die onstage, only not for 15 minutes, but for a year, and counting. What could possibly be left of the party at the end of this nightmare?

    Pre-trump, the gop was a brilliant if unlikely coalition – a healthy heaping of silent-majority racial paranoia, wedded to redundant patriotism and Christian family values, in service of one-percenter policies that benefited exactly the demographic the average Republican voter hated most of all: Richie Rich city dwellers who embraced globalist economics, read The Economist and may even have been literally Jewish. In other words, Jared Kushner.

    • I was talking about why the fuck are they saying "literally Jewish". if this is an excerpt, how is this fucking helping?jaylarson
    • don't worry. it's not racist because it's a religion, not a race.omg

    • to you a monkey is a race. calling someone a monkey is apparently racist to you.omg
