she bought an expensive bag? i think i have four questions in response to this. yeah? and? so? what?
Someone who gets held up as Socialist Icon and pure wouldn't be spending £1200 on a handbag. It doesn't really hold up that they don't practice what they preach. Picture Karl Marx running a cottonmill with slave labour as he wrote The Communist Manifesto.

It's kinda brocialist to start tearing down a woman's liberalism based on the size of her closet.
how else are we supposed to root out the trots?

I dont know if thats a gimmick or 'actual journalism'. I find myself truly shocked when an american reporter presses a question.
I have respect for Diane Rehm and Amy Goodman because i once heard them repeat a question

It's actual journalism, but I said gimmick (if you want to call it that) because a lot of journalists don't do proper journalism so having someone who does is kind of special. They won't ask hard questions (which they might not politically agree with, as most of an interview is the answer to the question so its about the answer more so). He is just well known as the journalist who won't take your hand and walk you through the interview.
here let's discuss I/P. Our guests are Joe from teh Brookings Institute, and Israeli Assistant Deputy Prime Minister, Noel.
let's discuss the 2008 crash. Our guests are VP of operations for JP Morgan and King Midas.

do you do that? maybe you should get a productive hobby. i understand knitting can be quite fun as well as being a fruitful creative outlet that doesnt require a lot of practice.
swampman posted:i have a hobby. posters on this very forum can attest that i have a hobby. i will not f*cking stand for this allegations. i am going to puke.
good, im glad you have something that you enjoy to occupy some of your time. i imagine its probably healthy or something

thats okay. here's a priest quality joke from a lenten sermon. a priest is going home and takes a shortcut through a dark alley. a man jumps out and pulls a knife, demanding his wallet. the priest opens his coat, and the man sees his collar. "oh," says the man, "i'm sorry, father. I didn't know you were a priest." The priest, his hands still trembling, withdraws a cigar from his coat and offers it to the robber. "here, take it." "oh no, father," the man says, "i can't." the priest asks, "why not?" the man replied, "Father, beg pardon, but I gave them up for Lent." Both men, laughing, immediately contracted terminal fail aids and died at the scene. let us pray.
