Scarborough is douche-lite. #joescarborough

You don't think taxes are going to increase?
Interesting. #joescarborough

If it's all a gigantic lie, like his secret birth certificate, or his secret love of -isms, like communism/fascism/socialism, then I will retract when it all comes down. Or up, as the case may be.

Well, it's just that historically tax increases track increases in sovereign debt. While possible that the so-called "ordinary American" won't be taxed, I'm a skeptic in that area. Not trying to be all "SECRET NAZI TRICKS!" about it, but my thought was that we collectively understood that health care and the like were going to result in tax increases.
I used to bitch about "dishonesty" from the Obama administration about who would pay for the public option, for example, but I eventually agreed with supporters that most people had an understanding that there would be cost-to-you implications. It's a transaction, not a gift. If you're expecting a gift I'd recalibrate those expectations. #joescarborough

Which is the very reason why Republicans are frantically using so many of those big stupid lies AND little smart lies. #joescarborough

Like Medicare? Unless it helps them scare the shit out of the olds, Republicans don't give a rat's ass about Medicare, and haven't since it started. #joescarborough

This is what kills me (even as a woman, myself) because they're the ones who usually turn out to be the nuclear winters of drama. Always tell your guy friends to stay away from the girl who makes it a point to point out that she hates all the dramz.

It illustrates for the "rest of the world" how bad they were -- some people just don't understand scale.
That said, as a lifelong NYCer, it made even more impact, as I could imagine all of Downtown Manhattan disappearing.
Sick, yes. But it works.

Also, I remember imagining all of New York City, much less downtown Manhattan, potentially disappearing *that day*, because none of us knew how many planes were in the air at the time. There were rumors of 11 or more. So I don't need some ad to make me imagine that - I went through it for real. I can't imagine that any New Yorker didn't feel that way if they were in the city that day.

or do we just wait for them to make it self-evident?

(And really, there's nothing wrong with a little socialism in a democracy, but the American government and media have trained so many of you to react to the word as if it were "incest" or "cannibalism", so a discussion of the actual merits and faults of social democracy is unlikely to occur anytime soon.)

Also, cajun boyee, easy on the clown pics. Some of us have longstanding phobias, and are really never able to watch IT ever...so yeah.

Or maybe "Nationalist Christian Supremacist Republican Party." Anybody disagree?
