Rich, white, and male.
That's your answer.

Both parties are essentially 3 parties each smushed into 1.

Artists need to start putting pre-emptive injunctions (whatever the equivalent would be) on the government using their work. And sue like crazy when ignored.

I've heard it's actually better to keep the accounts open, but never use them.
They have to pay for open accounts. But they can't get any ad revenue from them if they're unused.
Deleted accounts don't cost them anything.

That's the GOP
Freedom for me to do what I want to do.

GOP politicians only care about things when it affects them directly.
Rubio's grandfather made it in, so of course he doesn't care about any of the hypocrisy because it means he's already in as well. He's getting what he wants, other people looking for the same thing don't matter.

It always comes down to money.
I bet Faux News is watching all of their investments tank as their employees watch their 401ks tanks.

No one should profit on the suffering of others.
Private prisons should be banned.

The GOP loves to say "will of the people" when an election favors them. But once the people say something they don't like, they've got no problem throwing their power around and saying we shouldn't listen to "traitors", or whatever power term they're throwing around to scare their base.

The party of free speech and anti-cancellation sure loves to limit free speech and cancel people left and right.

Ok. So a busy guy was busy and did the thing that 70-90% of people do at the place.

Nah. That takes effort, and coordination, and leadership.
All of which the democratic party doesn't have, and hasn't had in decades.

All bipartisanship in this country means is that the Right goes further right, and it drags the Left along with it.

He's right. It's an entitlement. A government entitlement.
The government entitled themselves into the fund and borrowed our money out of it, when it was even allowed to, putting the fund in jeopardy.

Now they all need to find a real leader to rally behind and have a million person march on DC itself.
Let's see how many of those that said Jan 6 was fine would suddenly be shitting themselves and calling for the police and army.

People love to gatekeep and then wonder why no one shares their hobby or talks about it with them.

They're already planning on decommissioning it in 2030.
So he might just be saying it to get to take credit for it somehow.

All they care about is power and their cushy jobs. They'll follow both without hesitation.
When Trump was a competitor to getting into the White House, they couldn't attack him enough (toothless attacks). The second it looked like he was getting the votes, they couldn't kiss his ass fast enough.

They don't know how.
The Dem "leaders" are weak and haven't put up a fight in decades. They literally can look at the GOP playbook on how to fight and shutdown a government from all that time. But don't have clout or guts or charisma to unify the party
But I think most of them are just too scared.

Americans don't know how to do it. We've forgotten everything learned in the later half of the 20th century.
Ironically, Philly football fans seems to be the exception. The plowed right through police barriers like nothing.

Are we surprised?
Every time Obama took a day off, Faux News and the GOP bashed him for not working, wasting tax payer dollars.
Yet every time Trump went golfing (blew through the Secret Service budget in less than a year), or had events at his locations (paying himself those dollars) - silence.

I’ve been seeing it since the pandemic.
Those who shouted loudest about snowflakes are the biggest snowflakes.
Those who shouted loudest about cancel culture did the most banning and canceling.
Guess what you see in the dictionary under “hypocrites”.

Someone smoking in the van when they shouldn’t have been, and now playing dumb so they don’t get fired.

Error, or blatant lie that their base will see and spread constantly; never actually fact-checking and denying anyone who says it wasn’t billions after all, while telling them to do their own research.

Remember to pronounce doge correctly.

It's a form of dark hyperbole designed to show the boldness of these actions and the belief instilled into these people.
In other words, stop being a pedant.

How about ruling on if DOGE can exist at all since creating departments is a power granted to the legislature, not the executive.

Oh, there's a rich segment that does. And they're using this time to stock up on their off-shore accounts so they can bail on the country when it fails.
Then there are the 'believers' who will be left out in the cold and confused when everything they stood for fails and is proved fraud.

This is now my default response to trumper claims. Everyone is free to use it:
Bullshit.
Fucking prove it. Show your work. Show the evidence.
You can't. You don't have any. Just repeating what someone said that makes you feel better about what you believe.

Wife is rewatching and I'm randomly dropping in for episodes here and there. Can't wait until she gets to season 5 when all we had to worry about were Republicans threatening to shut down the government by blocking the budget.
Those were the good ol' days...

Sounds like something that needs to become a Constitutional Amendment.

Probably trying to make sure they were sucking up enough to their corporate masters/political overseers who would arbitrarily seek retribution of some kind.

Actually, an interesting point. Any cosmetic plastic surgery is just gender-affirming care to look/feel more like oneself and gender.
So all plastic surgeons should call their (gop) clients saying their surgery may have to be canceled because it falls under G-A, and is banned by the white house.

I like how Stephen conveniently forgets that the vice president has exactly 2 constitutional powers: sitting on their ass until they break ties in the senate, and sitting on their ass until the president dies or something.

Trust me, won’t miss anything
Haven’t watched in years, but if I check in the commercials are boring, game is boring, half time show is hit and miss, and I realize how little excitement was actually in games when I watched
We only think it’s exciting because we’re constantly told to think that

Unfortunately for them, this is a type of free speech Musk likes.

Of course. Those who've built the country around the way they look and act will feel like victims when they no longer see that reflected everywhere.
Like everyone else has always felt.
To paraphrase Lewis Black "I know this country is a Christian nation. How do I know? I'm Jewish."

NASA is a civilian administration. Not military.
Space was already part of the Air Force domain, and was perfectly fine there. But then Trump had to make himself look like a badass to all the military hard-ons and do something pointless.

Oh, I don't doubt he didn't read it. Assuming he can read, it would take effort.
He just let everyone else make up the stuff they want, let chatgpt spit out the executive order, then signed it as if he'd done all the work to make himself look good to his base.
