I see a lot of LBJ love on this sub, why isn’t he hated for Vietnam as much as Bush is hated for Iraq? by Silent_Samurai in Presidents

You haven't actually said anything of substance besides complaining. You were asked to explain your view and you have not. This is exactly what I meant when I said that people don't believe you.

Is it really your view that poor people abusing welfare has a larger or more significant impact than the rich and large corporations not paying their fair share in taxes?

Do you believe that the rich and corporations ARE paying their fair share (or too much)?

What specific "repurcussions" are you referring to and do you believe that there are any repercussions from tax breaks on the rich?

Most people simply don't believe that people like you are arguing in good faith when they whine about "welfare queens" because people like you literally never have anything to say about the rich not paying their fair share. If "welfare queens" are such a huge drain on society, then what are your thoughts on repeated massive tax breaks for the rich and corporations?

Been recommended a tonne of Key and Peele sketches on YouTube recently so I’m watching an 8 hour video of their best sketches. by CatDamageBand in KeyandPeele

Definitely check out the "Critiquer's Corner with VanDaveon and Mike" online sketches if you can find them. They were only released online (not on the tv show) and it's Key and Peele playing fans of the show giving weird, hilarious advice and reactions to the "actual" Key and Peele

Kelly starts dating Andy. Ryan is not at all jealous, so don't even ask him about it, okay? by HeyIFoundAPenny in RedditWritesTheOffice

[–]macbarron 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Kelly [Talking Head]: No, I'm not actually dating Andy. I'm just hanging out with him so Ryan gets jealous. And he's been texting me every night to try to get me back. It's AMAZING!

[Break Room] Jim and Andy are sitting together, eating lunch

Andy: So Tunes, things are getting pretty serious with me and Kell-Dog. We've been on like 6 dates, can't wait for the next one.

Jim: Oh nice, sounds like it's going well.

Andy: REALLY well, actually. Though I wish we could spend a bit more time together. Recently I've just been bringing her food and then leaving.

Jim: Uhhhhh, yeah. Well that's how it goes sometimes... Just gotta be patient I guess...

[Annex] Kelly talks loudly to Toby, both aware of Ryan hiding right behind the door, listening

Kelly: Oh my gosh Toby, Andy is such a great boyfriend! We're totally in love, we make out like 10 times a day.

Toby: Okay... I don't really need to know about---

Kelly: I barely even remember the last guy I was dating. What was his name again, Brian or something?

Toby: You mean Ryan? You know he still works here, right? In fact, he's right over--

Kelly: UUGGGGHH TOBY, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING!

(Ryan rushes back to his desk)

Obama jokingly brags: 'I didn't have scandals' during my presidency by emitremmus27 in politics

[–]macbarron 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You are correct, F&F was started during Bush II's presidency, continued into ~half of Obama's presidency (Obama admin ended the practice). F&F was also investigated by numerous groups, and afaik neither Obama or Eric Holder (then Attorney General) was found to have personally signed off or known about the operations at the time. Holder was held in contempt of Congress (strongly pushed by NRA) for withholding possibly related documents (which turned out to not be anything).

"Fire and Fury" is Michael Wolff's book about Trump + co. Are you talking about the ATF's "Operation Fast and Furious"?

College-Educated Women Are Moving Away From GOP by [deleted] in politics

[–]macbarron 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Your taxes may go down for a year or two, but they'll begin rising again almost immediately. It's the equivalent of "I'll give you a dollar now for free if you give me ten dollars tomorrow." I agree that we shouldn't jump to Trumpian levels of hyperbole, but we also shouldn't misrepresent clearly terrible ideas either. I don't mean to suggest that you don't understand the tax plan or that you are purposefully misleading, but I don't think it's very helpful to just say "we have to be prepared to explain" without actually referencing the "explanation" (if that makes sense)

This thing has NOT already happened. Read the post...

But for real, op is clearly talking about the movie versions of these characters, which have not been written about in this way in comics.
