So the CFPB is the official name of the oligarchy?

The oligarchy calls itself a lot of things.

A lot of times when I'm going to bed I'll turn on the local right wing radio station before Coast-to-Coast AM comes on and tolerate Mark Levin for twenty minutes or so and I'm curious if he'll pick up on this and how he'll use it to make black people look racist.

Nobody is more racist against blacks than blacks. It’s a strange construct.

This reminds me of one of my uncle's favorite sayings:

"The first person to use the word n*gger was a mulignan."

The Batlord 10-18-2019 06:36 PM

Pretty sure the first person to use the word nigger was an ignorant cracker who didn't care if he was pronouncing negro correctly.

I actually coined the term as a young child in the early seventies.

We work to move your emotions, to inspire, uplift, energize and enrich your every day. When we build a Mazda, every detail is designed to make you feel alive.

Yeah, I got a chuckle when I saw it happened in a Dollar General store.

Would've been even better if it had happened at one in San Antionio a few days ago. :D

Maybe he was looking for mindfulness

He was awfully upset about Green Day, you know

The Batlord 10-20-2019 10:43 AM

He was also pretty pissed off when mindfulness called him emo.

ABBA has the better hair by far. Also, as much as I wanted to, and fantasized about doing so often, I never got to be naked and sweaty with Agnetha Fältskog.

If a US soldier kills an Iraqi civilian, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when a killer robot kills an Iraqi civilian, well then everyone loses their minds!

A self guided drone with facial recognition and a machine gun is a weapon of mass destruction

If it understands social constructs it could be completely genocidal

Two, sorry three things that I almost can't believe about recent events in US politics:-

i) the investigation into H Clinton's emails closed on Monday and no serious misconduct was found. Like Benghazi, this was another Republican-lead investigation that came up with nothing, although it did achieve its political goal of damaging HC's election chances and provoking the chant, "Lock her up". Why isn't this result being commented on more in the media? That way we'll know what we're watching when the 2020 election comes round: investigate the Bidens, damage Joe's electoral chances, close the investigation with zero wrong-doing found.

ii) Republican congressmen undercut the authority of congress by disrupting the closed-door inquiry hearings.

iii) Lindsey Graham says the impeachment inquiry is a lynching "in every sense of the word." LG should listen to Strange Fruit (Nina Simone version): lynching was a terrible thing that ended up with a dead person hanging from a tree. If I was a journalist, I'd ask LG to show us the tree that Trump's body is hanging from.

1. The government never holds itself accountable in America. Look at the Mueller report.

2. This is a common modern tactic for all of our politicians, unfortunately.

3. Everyone's overdramatic as **** these days, Republicans ain't gonna sit that out.
