    rmacdonald commented on the blog post Projected Government Health Spending Down Almost a Trillion Since Deficit Hysteria Began

    2013-05-20 12:40:29View | Delete

    We can’t let any stink’in facts get in the way of the 1% stealing more money.

    I guess I would be upset, if anything in Dodd-Frank meant anything.

    Moreover, prosecuting children as adults can destroy their chances of becoming productive members of society later in life

    Hey, someone has to fill up the for profit prisons.

    Before anyone get’s upset, it’s sarcasm.

    That’s a pretty low bar to set!

    2013-04-25 12:13:07View | Delete

    It wasn’t to long ago that the United States would actually take at least a couple of years off in between wars. Now we have to have one winding up, while the last one is winding down.

    I guess the banksters can’t stand to lose money in between wars anymore.

    2013-04-22 11:30:37View | Delete

    Looks like the banks who are to big to prosecute, now have their private goons dressed in blue, paid for by the taxpayers.

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post Obama Tries to Make Every False GOP Attack True

    2013-04-11 08:18:35View | Delete

    For all that thought Obama would reveal the real Obama after the election, you got your wish. He finally came out in full force as a Republican.

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post Obama Budget Splits The Democratic Party

    2013-04-08 07:31:39View | Delete

    The merger of the Democratic and Republican parties is officially a done deal.

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post Obama Wants Cuts To Social Security

    2013-04-05 06:13:12View | Delete

    This is current news, how?

    Obama has been wanting to cut Social Security for a very long time.

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post Obama’s Poll Numbers Drop As He Tries To Push Cuts To Social Security And Medicare

    2013-03-13 09:15:02View | Delete

    This is what happens when the two major parties offer a completely insane right wing nut job, and a plain run of the mill right wing nut job (aka Obama)

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post North Korea Claims lt Will Launch A Pre-Emptive Nuclear Attack On America

    2013-03-07 07:26:24View | Delete

    How much longer can America ignore North Korea?

    We can and should ignore them forever. When will this country stop falling for the “godless commies are coming after us”. I heard the same crap for almost 50 years about the USSR. North Korea may be crazy, but no one, and I repeat no one, is crazy enough to launch a nuke.

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post The Stupid Design of the Sequester Might Have Made it Easier for GOP to Embrace

    My thoughts exactly!

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post Sheldon Adelson Admits To Bribing Foreign Officials

    2013-03-04 08:13:25View | Delete

    Just another case of make a billion, pay a million dollar fine.

    What really strikes me as ironic, is that it’s illegal to bribe a foreign government, but perfectly legal to bribe the American government, since Citizen vs. United!

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post Justice Department Must Do More for Victims of the Financial Crisis Than Just Sue Standard & Poors

    2013-02-26 08:27:57View | Delete

    Just in case nobody remembers Obama basically giving the banksters a get out of jail free card, here’s a reminder.

    2013-02-18 12:16:15View | Delete

    Which assholes, Goldman Sachs, the SEC or Obama’s DOJ ?

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post North Korea Conducts Third Nuclear Weapons Test

    2013-02-12 08:43:02View | Delete

    I heard for close to 50 years that those dirty rotten commies in the USSR were going to use nukes on us. I remember the hysteria when I was a kid, ducking and rolling under my school desk, seeing people build fallout shelters, the whole 9 yards.

    Ya know what?, They weren’t crazy enough to launch a first strike and neither is the DPRK, or Iran. In fact I would consider Iran crazy if they didn’t want a nuke. After all we invaded a neighboring country very recently, on a bunch of bogus “intelligence”

    Just more hysteria to funnel tax dollars to the defense industry. Will we ever learn?

    2013-02-11 08:27:00View | Delete

    Just another bankster getting “installed” at treasury, to “regulate” the banksters. Nothing new here, move along.

    rmacdonald commented on the diary post S&P Suit Shows DOJ Knows about Wall Street Corruption by masaccio.

    2013-02-09 15:39:23View | Delete

    So S&P pays a few bucks out of petty cash, and “promises” never to do it again. Let me know when real criminal charges are brought to the CEO’s of Wall Street, until then it’s just some prosecutor trying to score political points.

    2013-02-07 14:48:22View | Delete

    Let me know when someone actually goes to jail. Until then, this is the same old kabuki theater.

    rmacdonald commented on the blog post MA Sen: Scott Brown Would Start With a Large Lead if He Chooses to Run

    2013-01-26 08:41:45View | Delete

    I guess I would be surprised, if Obama was a real democrat.
