UFB!

Bailout WHO?

The IMF, whose biggest single shareholder is the United States, has committed 250 billion euros to the EFSF.


This is so outrageous on the face of it, I must be missing something.  Right?  Same with:
Obama to Order Massive New Offshore Drilling Ban...

And when Jimmuh Carter gave up the Panama Canal in return for free-flowing Venezuelan oil, it was only a matter of time before we had a Hugo Chavez.

At this point, I'd be happier with Jummah as POTUS. Srsly, how much more fucked can we possibly be?

I'm thinking 1934 looked similar to this.

Except - FDR lifted prohibition to spur the economy; O' Blue Lips is imposing one.

Of course he is going to do this. Just print more money!

He isn't from Kenya! He is from Zimbabwe!

Welcome to Zimbabwe!

Rodge: Incorrect.

Prohibition was repealed because the no one wanted to try to enforce it. Every single attempt to punish someone for flaunting it ended in jury nullification.

Not one successful prosecution.

"The economy" was just a face saving excuse for repealing an amendment that only special interests ( factory owners, feminists, and puritanical zealots ) wanted.

Yep, 1934 in Germany.

Oh my Kristopher, I am forced to give you an "F," which means you'll have to settle for Stanford.

Prohibition, one of 819,000 listed citations.

Rodge: I am giving you an F for believing these folks are right.

Being in a herd of 800,000 dupes that actually take that socialist asshole FDR at his word does not make one correct.

Economic and tax gains were the excuse. Jury nullification on a scale never seen before in the US was the real reason.
