The Dallas Cowboys will never win a divisional round playoff game with a Jones, of the Arkansas Jonses in ownership. Put it in Three. Inch. Headlines.

Anyone who doesn't understand the fundamental problem with capitalism clearly hasn't played Monopoly. The game ends when one person owns everything and everyone else is bankrupt. Somehow, we've built an entire economic system around this.

California, why do you have to be so stupid?
BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom BANS the sale of Creatine and Whey Protein powder to under 18 year olds, AND now is mandating ID on purchase! What do you think of this new legislation?

It means that they know that they have no path whatsoever to contention. Doing nothing was better than buying, which is worse than selling. They won’t contend next season either. Three inch headlines.

What a fraudulent doofus—a perfect personification of the fake “America First” movement.

In the private sector, making a loan to someone who is unlikely to be able to pay it back is called "predatory lending." In the public sector, it's called an "affordability measure."

"Okay guys, we just won a huge Senate majority because a bunch of moderate voters in red states who are sick of Trump voted for us. What's our opening move on policy?" "I know! Let Elizabeth Warren ban credit cards!"
Let’s cap credit card rates at 10%. Take action on affordable housing. Protect rural hospitals. End price gouging. Democrats have the bills ready. @SenWarren says now it’s up to Trump to work with us and get things done.

The economic ignoramus level is no better than Trump on tariffs.

This is a better version of Jerry. Damn, the coach is holding back the GM. Bizarre
What was Jerry Jones reaction to the win vs. the Colts? His answer to @1053thefan: "Bittersweet. We would like to have avoided in those circumstances when we had spurts of playing well, both offensively, the statistics are impressive, the defense played some great snaps. On the other hand we had to really have some help to get that win. And overall we're not playing very good and we’re sure going to have to take what we’ve done over the last several weeks, put the best parts of it together because we have a real challenge coming up in San Francisco."

Incurious people are incurious. And you can’t fix it for them.

inflation like what happened in the 70’s? You know what the answer to that was? Rent control.

Rent control helped hollow out America’s cities. It was so destructive that state legislatures either pre-empted it or created exceptions things like permanent exemptions for new construction to reverse the damage. Read — quite literally anything — other than a manifesto.

Mark has worked to eliminate all competition. Supports bans on the construction of hospitals and continues to push for the elimination of healthcare facilities outside of the largest health systems. Then asks, why is healthcare expensive.
Trump’s slashing of Medicaid and Obamacare is going to have disastrous impacts for millions of Americans. But we can’t just restore his cuts and go back to the status quo. This moment requires more. It’s time for universal health care.

But what about suffering for the higher bad?
Former Sen. Rick Santorum blames the midterm results on selfish voters who were unwilling to "suffer financially for a higher good": "Nobody likes to do it, but we all suffer." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

I just bought a $1999 refrigerator. It would have been about $1649 if not for the federal tariffs tax which I (not “South Korea”) paid. I also paid $155 in sales tax. Total cost $2154. Of which 25% is tariff tax and sales tax. To pay for it, I had to earn $3,420 in gross salary, of which $1266 went to fed and state taxes. So for $3,420 in labor I got a refrigerator worth $1,649 (48%). 52% went to the government in taxes.

Another instance where Donald Trump and Elizabeth Warren agree on an idiotic policy

I understand arguments like this…but usury is usury and it’s immoral. You trap people in debt. Student loans should be at 0 or 1% and credit cards should absolutely have a government set cap.

The Cowboys have lost 1.47 win probability just on field goal attempts this season -- dead LAST in the NFL (and almost double the next-closest team).

I don’t know how many times people have to learn the same lesson with this stupid policy idea but I suppose one more time will always be the answer.
