Yes we see...
"Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives failed on Wednesday to round up enough votes for a bill scaling back various financial reforms, a surprising defeat in an area conservatives hoped to prioritize this year."

And we see this as well...
So we can compete with any Nation in the New World Order.
Do you know what frightens them the most about people saying fuck college?

Straight to Boehner's Farcebook page with this image... I don't even feel sorry for the political aide that has to maintain the orange skinned surrender monkey's social media pages... (Actually, short of calling for his death which could lead to a late night visit by an alphabet agency, the comments there pretty much are telling him he should take a long walk off a short pier with Obama strapped to his back...)
i think potus played bong pong in college?
Someone bonged his pong...
I spent years in the corporate swamp.....and during that inglorious tenure, I had the great misfortune of dealing with incompetent HR "folks" and with board level management that insisted the ONLY candidates we could hire must have "advanced degrees". I lost battle after battle on this topic, and was forced to watch as my entire department hired idiot after idiot.....all whom had enough money from daddy to stay in school AND enough extra money to buy test answers/homework/etc. At the same time, I watched GOOD TALENTED people who had developed the skills we actually needed, thru hard work/experience/selective training....get turned away at the door and never even given a real chance.
I am old enough to remember a time when what a person could DO, was more important than inflated credentials. When experience and skills learned on the job were considered an asset. Now...everything is about "the brand"....(a phrase I heard often from 20-somethings who spent all their time "building their brand" and almost no time actually learning to DO work).
Burauecrats who don't contribute a dime's worth of productivity to anything deciede everything and run the whole show, whether it be the gubmint, large corporations, hospitals, etc, etc.....
I ran a 55 person IT department and the only unproductive ones had advanced degrees with great resumes and the most productive ones never graduated college and were the programming heart and soul of our group. When I started my own business, I hired programmers that could prove they were good by ... programming. Most were college dropouts. I think it has to do with the state of college today; there is no education going on so really productive people see this and bail to do something more productive.
Bit off topic, had a fellow the other day tell me he had four semesters of programming courses using java, c#, and c++ under his belt yet couldn't describe the function of this line:
a = b > c ? d : e;
Really? Needless to say, never got around to asking whether a valid lvalue can be generated in a similar fashion.
I write SQL code every day, and some VBA from time to time. I know a lot of extinct languages - SNOBOL, WATFOR, PL/1, Pascal - but few of the modern ones. However, code as you show is the poster boy for programmer laziness.
There's nothing wrong with VB for many tasks, but "hard core" programmers don't like it because they have to type out something that can be read and understood easily. They much prefer cryptic code (ALWAYS undocumented, of course; documentation is for pussies!) that: 1) only a select few can read (job security), 2) no one else can maintain (job security), and 3) they can type up in ten minutes instead of 30. That leaves 20 more minutes to play WoW or look at pr0n.
All I see in the above is faster typing than:
IF b > c THEN a=d ELSE a=e (where ">" means what most people think it means, "greater than")
Wow. 26 characters than anyone can understand, vs. 17 characters that only a few can comprehend. What a huge f*ing improvement.

you must understand the principles of scientific management, if one assembly line worker is better than the others, management will copy that persons technique, his personality profile, and they will screen and train everyone else to emulate those things. you see they are stealing your intellectual property and training your replacement to work at lower wages.in and of itself this practise is a bit of a non starter when it comes to collective bargaining, but in the aggregate it forms the basis of a plan to distribute the economic wealth of a nation or society, which has seen those jobs automated out of existence, by robots which copy human technique, motions, and actions. the disparity between the 1% (those who own the robots) and the 99% should be mediated by the right of intellectual property which workers own, in the aggregate over centuries of labor, trial and error, people who literally starved because they didnt have jobs skills dropped out of the hunt. we are all just domestic animals, but with a difference, we own the rights to our own genetic work code. the working class has earned the right not only to be here, but to share in the wealth of the economy. a right not a handout. when i listen to men like Bill Gates say, that no one should inherit money, I know that I am on to something here, of course he wants to tell everyone he achieved his success through individual effort, which is crap, he was well nurtured and he ran his business on the backs of millions of other people, many of them poor Chinese, but more importantly he is the outcome of centuries of low tech development. low tech development is what happens in the factory, when someone figures out a slight improvement to the method (often it is the worker who does this for his boss) the myth of high tech rests on the false notion that great insights immediately transfer themselves into useful products. between the insight and the implementation of a product there are a lot of people doing fairly mundane things, through trial and error which make it work. once you have fissionable radioactive material even a monkey can make it go bang
This is exacerbated by the algos that now run the screening process.
It's so painfully embarrassing to be an American now that I want to gouge my eyeballs out with a rusty spoon.
Can we please get this over with soon?
At this point, I would consider being a member of an honest third world shithole a vast improvement.
Good title, but it is truly pronounced that way, boner. He really is showing clinical level delusions of grandeur to make a public statement like that. The opposite couldn't be any truer, he is Odumbo's favorite Republican boehner to work with.
I hope that Babushka doesn't make it between the two lines and winds up in the "bit bucket"!

I'm pretty sure they have a class on Microsoft Windows at the local community college. Hopefully there will be a class on "How to use the Iphone" next semester. They really need to stay up-to-date. I know my local community college just built a huge basketball arena sponsored by a local credit union all with the backing of the local Military Industrial Complex. The county's official theme is "Protecting the warfighter!" #winning. #common core.
He is anti - establishment in the sense that he stands alone when it comes to the depth of his tan.
Boehner apparently believes those outside the political and bankster classes are "the establishment".
He is so used to lying he has no idea how fucking ridiculous he sounds.
Don't mistake contempt for ignorance or indifference.
He is so used to lying he has no idea how fucking ridiculous he sounds.
And he's been told time and again by those that control him that they aren't lies as long as he believes what he's been told to say is truth!
Just like the rest of them!
I agree with Banzai, these "so-called" freedoms and rights are an illusion to keep the sheep happy and productive, and can be revoked at any time whenever is convenient.
Don't believe me, google "japanese americans during world war II" and talk to me about fxxxxg rights.
Here is George Carlin going on about rights:

What? I value values, don't you?
Community college is pretty cheap as it is so I don't understand why 'bama is barking down this road. Of course, if the feds get involved in its funding - then they are gonna have a say in what gets (and doesn't gets) taught. That's them some bad portendz....
Government unions are the biggest problem, next to the Federales federalizing “Community” college. It’s all about the funding.
Grammar schools should be improved as opposed to extending education years into community colleges. A basic education shouldn’t cost 20 years of a person’s life.
Legend has it, many of the 80+ crowd didn’t even finish high school.
Banzaisan! You nailed it my man. And for a change I say with regret....... You should give it to Bohner and Co. more than you do to Barry. 535 in Congress could and should nip this iminent toilet bowl flush in the bud but even though they are "elected" by "we" they are beholden to the same string pullers as Sotoero....Show me Bohner walk the plank (though I'm sure you've got that one ready...)
And who the fuck are these conservatives who want to scale back financial reforms. Are they the pro-bailout wing?
I am guessing that the next round of Presidential election is going to be a little bit more interesting because more people are aware of the false choice phenomena. The end result will, however, be the same.
Will, choosing between a giant douche or a turd sandwich is your duty as a citizen because Democracy.
lololol they are the "pro-PAC money" wing

An unpleasant surprise for Boehner! There actually were some fiscal conservatives in the Tea Party, and when they voted in the election (largely wasted, as establishment RINOs are equivalent to Demos) for Repubs they thought that electing a few (those few over Boehner's / RINO objections) entitled them to some say.
Strangely enough, those who thought they were Taxed Enough Already and wanted a smaller government still do.
False choice indeed. As Doug Mackenzie said, "no point in steering now..." I've heard there are people who are rabidly prepping and having boating accidents at a rapid clip....See you on the sunny side....
+1 for the Doug Mackenzie quote
Borrows wasn't a mathematician or a very good shot. He wrote pretty well even though a pedophile. We have an original Maplethorpe photo of him pointing a rifle at the camera.
Mapplethorpe was an interesting guy. Truly influential in every sense of the term. That dude still reverberates...even today.
Especially today.
I would do it. I have financial questions to ask.

Great post watched the whole thing! Thanks!
3rd party here we come
3rd party? Which is the second? I only count one party.
Even as a hag, he fails. Two more free years of government indoctrination will only dumb them down more.
Looking over the list of electives that my daughter has to choose from is really maddening. Why the hell is black studies and women's studies offered and not creative writing/literature? I know the answer, but it pisses me off to see how these a$$h*les have denigrated academia. Just using the word "academia" makes my stomach tighten. When are we all going to say enough?
Those are courses surely intended to make the US more competitive.
I will tell you one thing. All of those Chinese eager to send their kids to school in the US are not sending them to community colleges for black and womens studies or golf history. They might attend some class called modern American culture or Asians living in America owing to their eagerness to integrate. Or Deciphering Bullshit Sound Bytes so they can understand what our President is saying.
Still...
There is freedom here.
And freedom is a dangerous thing...
Only the illusion of freedom remains...
There is a very cogent argmument to be made that our freedoms are a convenient illusion ready to be revoked when the circumstances so require. The signs are everywhere.
Maybe to fine a point on my part but an important one I think.
I prefer to think suppressed yet again by "leaders", not the word revoked. They (liberty & natural rights) are not granted by anyone or anything on this earth, they're just observed/acknowledged as being real by rulers/govenors as already there, as part of your birth as a human by those placed in positions of power.
This is why the consent to be governed is so important to the technocrats & elites, consent is not something granted to the people by government or they never would, it is already there to be witheld or given to them.
I am speaking practically, not philosophically. We say we are born free and consent to be governed. Yet no one can recall ever being asked for their consent and though we are told we are free, we are constantly reminded that the parameters of our freedoms are apparently subject to veto by the "owners".
If they came and asked for everyone's consent now what would happen?
Any unhappy camper who decides to revoke his consent can expect to be rounded up and FEMAd in short order.
Now get back on the curb ;-)
Yes, indeed, I just thought it a distinction worth making.
"By what right do they rebel!!! I gave them no such right in fact I passed laws against it!"
Have a good one Banzai, I'm off to the salt mines ;-)
Well said, both of you.
hells bells ...first again !!!
