And now we have men with guns press marching these same male predators, now no longer dressed as animals, to prison parties where these soft, delicate men will likely become the Furry for those dominate in the prison system. Alas, no video at 11! Could we at least get them their Furry costumes?

Remember boys, your nickname in the Big House will be "Girlfriend!"

"LESS THAN IT SEEMS: Dems Try to Stop Trump’s Order in Congress, Rally at Supreme Court.

In the House, Republicans blocked immediate consideration of an effort by Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and John Conyers (D-Mich.) to defund Trump’s executive order; they named their bill the Statue of Liberty Values Act.

Lofgren said her bill “states that President Trump’s executive order will have no effect or force of law and states that no funds or fees shall be used to implement the order.”

In their evening rally outside the highest court in the land, congressional Dems surrounded by a crowd of demonstrators sang “This Land Is Your Land” while waiting for someone to fix the microphones.

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen the video."

"SCAREMONGERING: Patients brace for post-Obamacare out-of-pocket health costs.
Me and my typical American family of four are still waiting for our promised $2,500 annual savings.
We’d also like to get back the doctor we lost."

Sounds terrifying this post-Obamacare out-of-pocket costs! Until one realizes reality.

Jobs are a recent phenomenon

In the Automation Debate, Don't Forget the Job Multiplier Effect | Newgeography.com

Keep in mind that jobs are a recent phenomenon while reading this article. Nearly everyone writing on the subject seems to believe that jobs have always been the primary way of redistributing wealth in society, but this is not the case. Jobs only became the huge part of the economy that they are today after the implementation of the Industrial Revolution. Before there was little need for jobs, and wealth was redistributed in much different ways.

If we forget this we will misunderstand that the coming economic revolution may eliminate jobs but create a better and more fulfilling way of redistributing wealth. Just as jobs were a more fulfilling way of redistributing wealth than the methods used previously.

Donald Trump supporter knocked unconscious by 'Muslim ban' protester

Portlandia is about 80% progressive, and these people live at the mythical progressive Left Pole where all other directions are right, and everyone who doesn't believe as they do, are far right. These people are ugly, vicious, and violent.

This is the how the progressive left acts. Always.
