Millennials Painfully Aware of How Much Needs Fixing in Wake of "Most Selfish Generation"

This is probably one of this site's best stories...


Millennials Painfully Aware of How Much Needs Fixing in Wake of "Most Selfish Generation"

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, American millennials reflected on how many things needed to be fixed in the wake of their parents, which they concluded were members of the "Most Selfish Generation" in American history. Millennials realized the Most Selfish Generation was giving them "a colossal mess to clean up" due to its refusal to pay for anything it uses, its conscious decision not to invest in any future projects other than military expenditures, and its embrace of social conflicts meant to distract Americans while the super-rich rob everyone else in broad daylight and exacerbate economic inequality.

And...

Hathaway continued, "They just don't want to pay for anything, except perpetual foreign war. At some point you have to wonder what all those external wars are protecting. You know, other than a hollowed-out shell with massive war-related debts and a bunch of undertaxed super-rich oligarchs that watch the rest of America bicker over scraps from a shrinking economic pie."



Please share it if it resonates with you.

Psychic Warns Hillary Clinton of "Horrible Berning in 2016"

Spurious news site may have endorsed a Democratic presidential candidate...

Psychic Warns Hillary Clinton of "Horrible Berning in 2016"


WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, a senior campaign staffer close to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton confirmed a popular psychic from the late 1990s named "Miss Cleo" had warned Mrs. Clinton of a "horrible Berning in 2016." Clinton laughed at questions from the press about the private discussion she took part in with Miss Cleo, and stated she was "not very concerned about any psychic reading I allegedly received this morning."

And...

Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont responded to TNA's request for comment by stating he had "no affiliation whatsoever with Miss Cleo, and couldn't care less who Hillary Clinton talks to in her very limited private time away from the bankers who are her largest donors."

I love to ask Republicans who deny racism exists about Lee Atwater and the Southern Strategy.

And am never shocked by how many have no idea what it is...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Atwater#Atwater_on_the_Southern_Strategy

Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger." By 1968 you can't say "nigger"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger."

I Have Yet To Hear A Good Reason Why Iran Would Risk Its Own Destruction By Launching Nukes

Specifically at Israel. One of the worst kept secrets is that Israel has had nukes since the 1960s. Frankly, I am more concerned about a preemptive strike being launch by Israel on Iran, because we don't have too much control over Israel as history has proven again and again. Oh, and the Israelis have known for years that no air assault can reasonable be thought to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.

Additionally, I don't think Putin would give Iran permission for a nuclear attack on Israel, because it would require his blessings. Pretty sure he isn't ready for a nuclear war.

I am also concerned about Saudi Arabia getting nuclear missiles from Pakistan, which it helped payroll. Pakistan is in possession of missiles that can bring nuclear payloads to targets at up to 1,300 kilometers away. And Saudi Arabia will probably ask for some of those if Iran's program produces the nuclear technology. How's that for a balance in the region?

One way or another every major power in the Middle East may have nukes soon - except Iraq. How's that for irony?

REMEMBER? The Corporate Media Cheerleaders While A Sovereign Nation Under Attack, Civilians Killed

The poor and middle class going to fight for rich profiteers courtesy of a media who collaborated to make the war happen. They helped to bring the American war machine to Iraq.

Disgusting.

Did Hillary Clinton break the law?

This guy says "no."

The Emperor Has No Clothes.

I'm concerned about another large recession.


The financial system we have is unsustainable. Its lax regulations and the Fed continuing to prop it up can only work for so long before another major downturn.

Anyone care to try to reassure me?

BLM Needs to Be Marginalized and Go Away If It Is Going to Attack Natural Allies Like Bernie...

Just Because Those Allies Don't Focus EXCLUSIVELY ON THEM.

I have been reading some very disturbing stuff on them and their leadership.

Do I believe there is an epidemic of unnecessary police violence, and that blacks are disproportionately targeted and killed because they are black? Yes. In the vast majority of cases, the officers would have acted different with white people.

But what the hell is Black Lives Matter's end game? Because I sure as hell cannot figure it out.

Does this make sense to anyone else, or just ME?

Me trying to explain the Republican base in a comment on another decidedly leftist website.


The Republican base is mainly composed of very low information voters, which would be bad enough if they were not also constantly being given misinformation about who they should hate, be afraid of, and on and on, by the right-wing echo chamber.

And while they are blaming everyone else for their problems, the rich laugh their asses off and become richer while the commoners fight over the scraps.
