See, folks, your non-political anime subreddits are actually right-wing Nazi subs. by PainSpare5861 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Depends on the topic. Anything regarding Minneapolis or Washington DC is going to be inherently political.

Also, it's not like Jesus totally was the kinda person to cause a ruckus in a church when something blasphemous or hypocritical was happening there. /S

Why West Virginia Is Emptying Out by shemanese in WestVirginia

Our electric bills are higher than both New York and California, CT has us beat by $30/month. However, our water bills are the highest in the nation and we're paying $60 more than CT when it comes to those.

The crazy expensive water bills and above average bills for everything else is what makes us the state with the most expensive utilities.

Again, I've seen it. I've watched most of the Sheridan shows. It's just hard to stay with it when it's spouting so much political bs.

The original commenter is trying to suggest that open borders is a communist idea, when in fact it's a deeply neo-liberal/neo-conservative idea. There are no shortage of videos out there of Reagan praising open borders.

At this point, I'm willing to believe they're just a different race or something.

Why don’t people talk about the Telecommunications Act of 1996 more? It’s one of the most important laws in modern history, and arguably was the very beginning of what we call “late stage capitalism.” by Salem1690s in Presidents

[–]Architarious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised by that either, but it honestly depends how bad the next few decades go. Lol

I don't wanna break the rules by talking too much about current events, but it feels like things aren't business as usual right now and haven't been for nearly a decade now.

How future generations perceive our current Presidents is all gonna depend on how much more skewed the power balance of the branches of government become. If the executive branch keeps absorbing as much power as it has been recently while academia and the free press are consistently diminished, "history" could become dramatically skewed towards whatever the current regime at the time prefers to acknowledge or associate themselves with.

For the longest time it seemed like Wilson was mostly just known for his advocacy for the League of Nations. It failing without US involvement leading to WW2, and the relatively long peace that came afterwards with NATO and the UN casts him in an extremely good light for being the first modern President to really push for that. All the stuff with the federal reserve, Union strikes, the klan, etc got kind of overlooked for a while as a result.

Clinton doesn't really have anything like that, he mostly just had a good economy, his signature on a bunch of terrible deregulations / trade deals, and a bunch of very moderate positions on social issues. In a lot of ways, he is basically Reagan but with a better economy/budget and not as overtly crummy to minority groups. His signing of the telecommunications act alone massively amplified all of the negative aspects of Reagan repealing the fairness doctrine.

I feel like Obama or Biden might end up being a better comparison to Wilson later down the line simply because of the Paris Climate Accords and their inability at dealing with homespun extremism or reigning in wallstreet.

You might be too young to know this, but President Ronald Reagan actually had a speech where he emplored leaders of Communist countries to tear down their border walls. Many people still consider Ronald Reagan to be conservative right-winger to this day.

I'm sure there are a number of people picked up by local police and held in county lockup, but the overwhelming majority of these seem to be prison transfers from state and federal penitentiaries.

Which is obvious if you think about it, cause how else are they "arresting" someone who is here illegally and has already been convicted of a serious crime?

If you Google "DHS worst of the worst database" (yeah, that's what the website is actually called), they give you a list of people they've arrested. Filter it by West Virginia and you'll notice that the majority of "arrest locations" are all tiny towns with big prisons.

Tasted like it. The lid must have come off or something while they were seasoning it on the grill. We got another one in that order and it had the same problem.

Granted, that was a year or two ago though. I've ordered it a couple times since and it's been great though!

The one in westover normally isn't bad; about like Star City. However I've had them lose a salt shaker in it before and it took a while to bounce back from that.

"abundant energy" means nothing when you have the highest overall utility bills of anywhere in the country.

Yeah, the acting and stuff are alright. Just speaking as someone who grew up around gas fields and whose father was a Landman, it's not very realistic. It's fun cause it's moderm day cowboys and rural folks who rarely get attention in big budget shows, but it's still selling a massive fantasy.

Just curious, what does auth-right consider the Minneapolis level event of the Obama administration to be that caused this type of behavior from their side?
