john oliver did covered this subject a few weeks ago. it's how the pols spend much of their time once elected. gotta get that money.

also....there are charities who hire call centers. so, beware if you have a supposed charitable organization call you. if it's a call center, they get half the donation, and the charity the other half. so, if the state police (for example) calls you regarding donating to the benevolent fund-it's a telemarketer.

when a member of congress retired a few years back, without feathering his nest......others said he must have been a bad congressman, because he didn't leave rich.

$1.34 trillion in student loan debt. All of these people putting on unsustainable debt for the hopes of a $15/hour full time job. Which with Obamacare is like hitting the Powerball twice.

When Trump is President and that ugly whore Yellen raises the rates through the roof so the economy crashes we'll get Zombie Bernie Sanders in 2020 to kill off most of the white men who aren't total cucks in this country.

America the mediocre...but educated (mostly liberal arts)

Icahn dumped Apple and called for more fiscal stimulus today.

I guess that isn't a facepalm but this has turned into the news thread sorta. But it's mostly "hurr durr look at this conservative idiot" type news for the kind of people who support Kelly Ripa.

The entire population of Belgium is to be issued with a ration of iodine tablets, months after warnings about the threat of Isil building a dirty bomb.

Iodine pills, which help reduce radiation build-up in the thyroid gland, had previously only been issued to people living within 20km (14 miles) of the Tihange and Doel nuclear plants.
No big deal. It's just a small percentage of them that are bad. Giggity googity.

Must. Buy. Health. Insurance.
