The man on the left is the current American Secretary of Energy, he has a degree in Theoretical Physics from Stanford. He's a legitimate Nuclear Physicist which is great because maintenance of all our Nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants and the American energy grid falls under the Dept. of Energy. The man on the right is the new nominee for Secretary of Energy, he's the former governor of Texas who graduated with a 2.0 GPA and a degree in Animal Science.

The Cabinet is absolute sh*t. You couldn't satirically write a worse Cabinet.

It isn't hard to move to Canada illegally and just bum off Riley.

Riley is f*cking broke. I'm already moving off the grid in California in a month anyway.

i mean...

.

My mom knows how to grow mad flowers. I probably got some of that **** in me. Can I come?

i guess that's better than her having some of you in her lolamirite

Flowers? What the f*ck are we going to eat? Eggnormous burritos?

She grows buttnormous tomatoes too.

Your mom can come with me. You can stay.

I got eggnormous burritos tho.

When one has your mom one does not need eggnormous burritos.

Eggnormous burritos are pretty righteous tho.

Sometimes I do actually get one.

Maybe he should have reconsidered wanting to kill education.....

Also the left guy's hair would have gone great with Trump's.

Hollywood still trying to steal the election.

^ :laughing:

There's no point in bringing morals into politics, because expecting that kind of accountability from politicians when they have a million other priorities is just foolish idealism. Legislation =/= morality: if people are racist or they hate trans-people then they'll continue to act that way regardless of what gets passed: you can't control people. Politicians all end up compromising on the "greater good" somewhere, even the liberals. Hell, Obama abandoned any semblance of giving a **** years ago when he appointed guys like Eric Holder. His cabinet back in 2008 was taken almost verbatim based on emails his transition team got from Citigroup. No matter how eloquent he sounds in front of a teleprompter, he was bought and paid for from the very start. He's a good person who was probably a fraction as qualified as Trump in a managerial sense but who lacked the experience to implement his ideals and thus became yet another tool for Wall-Street. And I'm saying this as someone who voted for him TWICE.

So instead of being a jackass, try being realistic and look at EVERY side of an argument, not just your party's of choice. I'm apolitical and get my information from a variety of Liberal and Conservative sources (and I read a lot of Forbes). There's always another side to the story. Unless you are a politician yourself or someone operating on the financial level of someone like Rex Tillerson, you are operating on a relatively minimal amount of information anyway because you don't see the methodology, only an outcome that then gets filtered depending on the media source. Just be pragmatic and watchful and stop living your life based on doomsday assumptions. We've had multiple cabinets full of special interests, lobbyists and all kinds of incompetent, questionable people through the past dozen presidencies: has the world ended yet?

Says the person dismissing my entire argument? That's a textbook example of intellectual laziness: I gave you a lot to chew on and you come back with three sentences. You do realize that if people choose not to obey laws...they won't right? Laws only protect people when they are acknowledged, but people choose to ignore them all the time or seek workarounds to avoid being subject to punishment by state and federal law. Turn on the news at any given time during the day and you will see legislation being trumped by human nature consistently. If you want to talk politics, you need to take human nature into account. I have stances, but I don't live in a bubble like you do either. You call me unprincipled: I call you naive.

As long as Trump continues his efforts to incentivize companies here in the U.S. to stay here, create more full-tiime jobs and contribute to this country's infrastructure, he's doing what Obama wouldn't do...which is precisely why Trump got my vote this time around: Hillary Clinton would have done nothing. I'm a business owner and I can assure you: nothing is more difficult in this country than running a successful business, big or small alike. The less regulations and more incentives there are, the more jobs will be created as a byproduct. And if those incentives can translate over into the tech sector and education in that area as well, then more power to him.

I agree. Donald Trump is the king of change.

I'm sure you'll have all the dimes and nickels you can rub together.

He's not currently doing that. He's only proposing to punish companies with heavy tariffs for sending their jobs overseas.

I don't feel like that's an incentive though.

It sounds more like a punishment.

I could ask you the same question: where have YOU been the last EIGHT years? As I said before: Obama had good intentions, but his execution was consistently incompetent: he just didn't draw attention to himself the way Trump does. I know all about the Jobs Act. And if Obama had gone about things a different way, something like it might have actually passed. It isn't just the Republicans fault.

The Fiscal Times: Obama's Jobs Act Not Just A Failure, But A Fraud

Or giving them massive tax breaks to stay here. All at our expense of course.

You mean the way 14 year old girls do on Twitter?

There are a lot of companies that would bring their business to the us if there were more tax breaks and such. It'd be a short term boost to the system that will dwindle over time like it historically has, so at least we can party a little bit before we face the music.

Them, and PT Barnum.

These tax breaks already exist. I know especially in NY state. They keep boasting about how they are bringing jobs to NY but all they are doing is offering businesses the opportunity to not pay taxes for decades at a time and of course the tax burden ends up falling on the people that work for said business and everyone else. It's the main reason that certain school art and music programs are shutting down or the entire school is closing all together.
They are planning to build a Legoland near by and it will bring a nice influx of jobs but the downside is that they are going to be able to go 30 years without paying any state/local taxes. The same taxes that go towards helping schools in the area and the municipality's budget.

Trump calls it "Street smarts" vs "Book smarts". Seriously. He used this phrase on The Apprentice. I think that tells you a lot about him.

He has his one token so I guess it's okay.:rolleyes:

You shouldn't judge Malik Obama by the color of his skin, but by his god tier level of shitposting.
