We might not understand this, but the illegalaliens are draining our economy. Unless we deport them now, we will be the biggest econotards in the world.
Example; Ecotards = idiots that burn down wood-frame buildings under construction to protest environmental policies. This irresponsible and short sighted act, not to mention being highly illegal, puts innocent lives at risk, wastes forest products that it would appear that they would want to protect, causes air and ground water pollution, causes increased insurance costs to the entire building industry and related increased building costs to society as a whole. These are some of the issues that an Ecotard does not comprehend in their single-minded and ill-conceived quest to "protect" the environment.
Econo-tainment. Its about entertaining in post-recession America. Any form of less-expensive entertaining that you do as a result of the recession. So you don't throw a dinner party: you throw a pot-luck! Or you invite people over to play scrabble and drink a couple of bottles of good wine. OR you rent a video instead of going out to the movies. Or you eat out at a less-expensive restaurant, or you have friday-after-work drinks at someone's home rather than hitting a bar....um that is if you still have a job.
For tonight's Econotainment I've made nachos. You bring the beer, and we'll all play pictionary! Yeah!
Darling, Econotainment is so simple: we skip the caviar and serve everyone chicken instead of that wild-caught Salmon.
1) one who subscribes to foolish economic principles such as trickle-down and voodoo economics, pyramids, ponzi schemes, fuzzy math, and similar financial snake-oils.
The economitards fail to see that great wealth for one means greatpoverty for many.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
