ImpemboGanecue: These people literally can't read man. Like they read the words but it doesn't add up. They also can't figure out how "profit" within a capitalist society should work, so maybe get out the old Glock and get them proving they can understand Adam Smith at minimum

MrNeilScott: Boswell, 29 October 1773:
“Dr Johnson told me, that one day in London, when Adam Smith was boasting of the beauty of Glasgow, he turned to him and said, ‘Pray, sir, have you ever seen Brentford?’ This was surely a strong instance of his impatience, and spirit of contradiction."
PalmerReport: Except this Trump rally didn’t cause any doom because that could never possibly have been a thing.
And Merrick Garland’s guy Jack Smith just got Trump’s attorney to testify against him to a grand jury yesterday.
PalmerReport: The giveaway is that this mindless chanting is so oddly specific. It’s never “Why didn’t Jack Smith stop Trump’s rally from happening” or “Why didn’t Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis stop Trump’s rally.” It’s always Garland. Because that’s the narrative the media has drilled into you.
