The "Stay Classy, Republicans" Super Nintendo Chalmers Thread

There should be less trying to prove uncle bob Erin and more discussion of things. Every thread turns into a drawn out uncle bob rant with various people poking holes.
 
The funny thing is, as I pointed out already, I made a simple call back to a twenty year old movie... and somehow certain folks on here have managed to draw it out for so long.

And it's all my fault.

Why is it that every single person who seems knowledgeable in investing in precious metals is some libertarian tea party wingnut? Can't i get the info without the big gubment spiel?
 
[quote name='UncleBob']Hey, you learned to count. Yay.

I was worried there, with all the math skills you show off. :D[/QUOTE]

huge allergy day, my eyes were trying to push my contacts out, hard to see shift 8's in a row like that. You get my weather a day later for the most part, if you're not slamming Claritin like Malt Liquor there's something very wrong with you.

second version: eat butt, I count numbers higher than my fingers

precious metals:
Instead of investing in the metal itself, companies that mine it are (excuse the pun) a goldmine for the most part. I'd have to look for it again, but there's a canadian gold mine that has tapped 4 new veins in the last few years. It's CDN so they're well regulated and not fucking up the environments. They trade pretty low for awhile then go nuts when there's mining success, join the selling crowd but keep a few shares to cover your capital and just wait for it to happen again.
The lunatics all think that gold will become currency again which is simply absurd. The gold is all owned already and when you "buy gold" you're really buying a piece of paper that represents gold (sound familiar?) ownership stakes. Gold is used more than it is stored these days.

Also, take a peek at double gold. It's an index that moves at 2x the change in gold price. So you put in $50, gold goes up 3%, you go up 6%.

All in all, it's nowhere near the "safe" investment it's made out to be. If it was, do you think advertisers would be lining up at Glenn Beck's door giving large sums of cash for a live read? It preys on the fears of the easily fearful.

Romney campaign calls Obama a hypocrite for accepting donations from Bain.
http://news.yahoo.com/romney-camp-c...ions-height-004505337--abc-news-politics.html

Of course, that's donations from human people that mark their employer as Bain, not donations from the corporation person that is Bain Capital.

So.

Former employees of Romney would prefer to see the other guy win. That's sort of tragic and funny at the same time.

Meanwhile, the evil CEO's of the country now count Marissa Mayer amongst their ranks and she's donated a metric shit ton to Obama and other Democratic PACs over the last few years. Good on her.

This story is amazing. Romney took a story that reflects very negatively on himself and spun it into a win. As you noted, nobody better peak behind the curtain of the Wizard of Bain.

My personal opinion: every time Bain gets mentioned it hurts Romney, just a little bit. So I hope the Republicans keep it up.
 
[quote name='nasum']http://news.yahoo.com/while-npr-sen-rubio-questions-usefulness-npr-154934066--abc-news-politics.html

Marco Rubio takes to the NPR airwaves to question the usefulness of NPR, doesn't understand the concept of playing to your audience.[/QUOTE]

Nah. Just like Romney gets conservative cred by being booed out of the building by the NAACP (and extra bonus points for racist dogwhistling by talking about gov't handouts), Rubio went on NPR to be a heel. And the conservative folks will get such a hard-on for that, you won't believe it. Or likely you will.

This isn't much different than Jon Stewart going on O'Reilly and tearing Fox News a new one. He is very much playing to his audience - it's just that this audience is not the same one watching the program (but are nonetheless very aware of it).
 
Based on the comments in that yahoo article, this may be of some use:
http://www.cbo.gov/publication/43083

When the "Democrats haven't submitted a budget" trope shows up, well that there link is the Congressional Budget Office's analysis of the president's 2013 budget. So, budget submitted. Victory for reality!


Nah, I grok the heel heat thing. I just think it's poorly done

From a political perspective, a lot of pundits wonder why you haven’t gotten rid of your offshore accounts. Can you explain why you have not done that? Well, first of all, all of my investments are managed in a blind trust. By virtue of that, the decisions made by the trustee are the decisions that determine where the investments are. Secondly, the so-called offshore account in the Cayman Islands, for instance, is an account established by a U.S. firm to allow foreign investors to invest in U.S. enterprises and not be subject to taxes outside of their own jurisdiction. So in many instances, the investments in something of that nature are brought back into the United States. The world of finance is not as simple as some would have you believe. Sometimes a foreign entity is formed to allow foreign investors to invest in the United States, which may well be the case with the entities that Democrats are describing as foreign accounts.

So in other words, they're used to avoid taxes.

Read it immediately!

So Mitt's explanation/excuse is sound but opens up another can of worms much bigger than the original issue. Maybe I'm reading too far between the lines from that snippet, but doesn't it sound like he's saying that foreign investors give him money in foreign lands, then he in turn invests for them and then pays them out of the foreign account? If so, to hell with his tax records and berf certificut, I wanna see his trading license!

Why do they have to do this. The left will blame the tea party and these assholes do this. Everyone should just shut the fuck up and morn for these people, not use it to bash others who weren't even involved. Idiots.
 
Pointing out that politicians and their fanbases can't even wait for the bodies to cool before politicizing this tragic event is trolling?

1) touche. at least he's not blaming some mythological creature that theoretically opposes the democrat party.

2) good lord, man. please, whenever you have nothing to say, and simply wish to deflect from the topic at hand, link to this. Bob, bookmark it.
 
Advocating for stricter gun control is different than blaming a tea-bagging nutbag or the politicians that push that rhetoric. hth y'all.

edit: Just because I know how some of you are, "that rhetoric" refers to tea-bagging rhetoric.

I wish I had the time and hated myself enough to self administer the torture it would take to break down just how fucking intense the false equivocation was. I would have a better time finding a cement wall to hump repeatedly until I had finally created a divot large enough to successfully fuck.

This is especially annoying knowing that people would just whine to mods, who would then somehow shift blame onto me for pointing out the drastic, shit awful idiocy going on. There's really no winning, it's such a brilliant asinine tactic, right up there with "nu uh."
 
Oh, lawd... While none of the major players have made any such comments (as far as I can tell), I'm amused not at all surprised at the number of comments on articles trying to tie this to Rush's Bain/Bane comments, implying/saying that the shooter was inspired by Rush.
 
using something like this as justification for a fully armed society is charming. So, you and 200 other people are sitting in the movie theater and shots ring out, 100% of the good guys in this scenario (dark theater, loud noises) are able to A.) identify the only bad guy B.) draw, release safety, cock hammer, aim and fire with 100% accuracy C.) Stop at that point because they all know there was only one bad guy.

fucking absurd.

Toss in the tear gas element and you'd have more "good guys" shooting each other than the sole bad guy could have dreamed of.

Because having a situation where only the bad guys have guns is a better alternative.
 
Cheney shot a man.

In an open field.
Who looked nothing like a bird.
And was the only guy around him.

So yes, I fully support arming the entire populace. Let's turn every Fuddruckers into Thunderdome.
 
[quote name='nasum']using something like this as justification for a fully armed society is charming. [/QUOTE]

Agreed (running under the obvious assumption that your use of "charming" is sarcasm).

But, likewise, using something like this as justification for hardline strict gun control laws is just as absurd.

There's a happy medium to be reached from this and lessons to be learned, but you'd think as a civilized society, we'd at least allow them to bury their dead before we turn the event into political gameplay.

Props to Obama for making a straight forward comment that wasn't designed to take political advantage of the situation.
 
the sharks prefer fresh blood

Ktmack - how does that saying go, if we outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns? Sure makes 'em easier to identify doesn't it?

So why is it that every time race is mentioned, that's pulling the race card, but when someone says something stupid like this, nobody accuses them of pulling the religion card?
 
"nobody"?

Heh. It may not be called the "religion card", but there's never a lack of folks ready to pile on the "your fake belief system sucks and you're stupid" bandwagon.
