The Minsky Moment

Quote from: Savonarola on August 26, 2017, 11:40:51 AM
On that subject, I saw this on Fox News:

When a guy starts babbling about the "fine people" at a Klan rally, there are only 3 possibilities:

1. Guy is racist
2. Guy is losing his marbles
3. Guy is an idiot.

Pointing that out is just stating the obvious.  Attacking the messenger is complicity

Trump has conviently drawn the moral lines with clarity.  There's a reason why his some of most trenchant critics at this point are coming from within the GOP.  The man is poison.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Because the main stream bends to the left while they bend to the right, insisting their stream goes straight forward.

The mainstream does bend left if you leave out all the ones that bend right. I mean of course.

You mean off course.

Where do you use International Jewish Cabal?  I just see Soros and globalists.

"George Soros globalism" seems a pretty transparent dog whistle to me.

It means Jews if you want it to mean Jews, but it can just mean elitist lefties.

QuoteFormer national intelligence director James Clapper, who most people couldn't pick out of a line-up
isn't that the point of an intelligence operative?  Or should the next one be a reality tv star?

This is a good time to recall that Lemon actually wondered whether a black hole had swallowed the missing Malaysian jetliner. And then he was pulled from a New Year's Eve broadcast for drinking too much and getting his ear pierced. So, he's hardly the poster child for mental stability.
Interesting news channel you got there :P

Who are, of course, never Jews, never influenced by Jews, and never secret sympathizers of Jews.

Actually, Lemon was talking about the fact that people were sending emails suggesting "preposterous" (his words) theories to explain the jetliner's disappearance.  He's a crappy anchor as far as I can tell, but attacks on him should focus on his real gaffes, not made-up ones.

Globalism and free trade aren't necessarily the same thing.

And Soros is mostly associated with funding lefty causes.

They are inseparable, though.

I figured as much.  Thanks for the clarification :)

The globalists are hated by the left though. Neo- Liberalism and all that.

It's almost like it's not a one-dimensional scale.
