Don’t be taking them victory laps yet. If the White House manages to hold out there’s a really good chance that corporate media will cave and come slinking back to the table. It’s just day one. Let’s see what happens.

…so you knew because people were talking about it then?

How are people supposed to know not to buy them if no one talks about it?

Do they still draw and quarter people at Tyburn?

Good to hear that Ed can rely on the support of his best friend in these trying times.

Germany: just consistently the bad guys. Its almost comforting.

He really thinks Trump will back him if he goes to war against Great Britain and presumably all the rest of NATO. And who knows maybe he’s right. Who’s to say? Who can predict anything anymore?

Did you know when the United States illegally invaded Haiti and conquered it in the early 1900s they allowed an election too. The United States wrote a new constitution for Haiti, one that allowed foreign ownership of land and indemnified the US Armed Forces from any crimes committed. US Marines of course were stationed at all of the polling places, you could submit a white card to vote Yes or a black card to vote no. Except only the white card was on the table. You had to ask for the black card. From the Marine. Holding the gun. Who would take down your name first.

I don’t mention that for any particular reason.

He’s literally the same as that dictator of Turkmenistan who named everything after his dog.

I really don’t understand what you’re not getting about this. No one’s confused about sugar in apples versus juice. No one is confused about serving sizes. Move past that.

The question was are there exact standards. Is it based upon sugar content? Is it just all liquids? What’s your criteria? You said what’s healthy but that is so incredibly subjective I don’t know why you’d even bother writing it. You could find a dietitian to say you shouldn’t eat basically everything. Absolutely grapes. I’m not saying that. It seems like you’re not saying that. Which is why I’m confused because earlier your criteria, high sugar low fiber, would seem to exclude them.

I’m not really advocating for anything other than pointing out that your argument is inconsistent. Is it about the sugar or not? If not then you’ve already accepted that there are different definitions and clearly juice is a different definition than a soft drink. Your arbitrarily deciding what’s okay and not okay from what I can see of your argument. Adding healthy is even worse. That’s an extremely subjective argument.

What about grapes? They’re extremely high in sugar and relatively low in fiber. Is that okay? Do you see what I’m saying? There’s no consistency to go on here.

Yes that’s why I wouldn’t tax them extra, however you seem to be advocating for a tax on anything with sugar. So why the change? You say yourself they’ve still sugar in it so why not tax them according to your logic?

To put another way, if the presence of sugar isn’t enough to justify the tax on its own, as long as the form is somrwhat different, then why not accept the difference between added sugar and no added sugar? That’s just as meaningful a difference.

Why not tax the actual apples then?

Yeah it really helps your odds of winning a race when the opposing jockey gets off of his horse and shoots it in the leg.

Looking forward to this one. What a surprise that show was.

I wish my senators were dead.

You mean other than the first paragraph of the article that links to it?

If throwing a can of paint is the same as throwing a bomb then why not throw bombs? Seems like a dumb thing for a government to promote…
