Everyone knows Holy Wars don’t count as real wars.

It used to be that way. My great-grandparents came here from Romania in the 1900s, had kids, worked a farm, contributed to the nation, and never became naturalized citizens.

It’ll definitely be weird… the fact that running elections is left to individual states rather than the federal government is at least some hope.

I think we’ve learned from this SCOTUS and administration that if the people pretending are also the ones in charge then it doesn’t really matter what everyone else knows to be fact (at least - hopefully - until the next election).

That’s the point of the post… “they *pretend*”

Obviously the way for him to fix the trade deficits is to incentivize more everyday Americans to buy military weapons systems. A chicken in every pot and a Predator in every garage I say.

If it means he leaves the presidency I really don’t care

When this country went to war we also taxed the hell out of the rich…

Yes, the thing that hasn’t been in childhood vaccines in the US in over 20 years is definitely hurting children…

So you’re saying that it won’t work AND they’ll have no idea what it’s supposed to do.

But if they recognized fascism occurring in front of them that might mean having to actually *do* something instead of just wingeing online.

Thus the “pointless”

Probably a pointless question, but wouldn’t this be an impeachable offense as the North Atlantic Treaty was actually approved by the Senate?

I like how the stick figure is doing the legs-crossed pee dance

Until SCOTUS says otherwise the TRO is in effect, not on hold.

But to make sure it’s a straight line on the map, not the globe.

The problem with this thought is that it takes actual knowledge of the domain to know how to ask the right questions and determine whether the response you get is bullshit or not.

Truly smart people are willing to acknowledge their idiocy in areas outside their domain.

“Leading our country at a time of great international and domestic turmoil.” Well sure, but you could say that of any leader who also created that turmoil.

I feel like this would be more accurate if they changed the simile to “a landlord seeking rent from the actual property owners.”

No, but when millions of them act the same way and encourage each other to do so they become complicit in that system’s downfall.

Trying to assign blame for Trump not being removed from the ballot is ultimately pointless: if it wasn’t him it would have been a surrogate. The blame lies on voters who didn’t like Trump but didn’t vote to “send a message” to Dems. Reps will always vote, so the only message was apathy to fascism.

But he literally is unable to enforce it. It falls entirely to Congress. You’re upset at a shopkeeper for not building a new bridge.
comment in response to
post
Ok, sure. Still the same argument from me though. SCOTUS said the president can’t enforce it, so what would Biden have done?
comment in response to
post
That’s irrelevant if SCOTUS says the 14th amendment isn’t applicable (which they did, because they’re actually part of the problem)

Does this mean sex education can’t teach abstinence?

You should have asked if that made your grandmother male since that’s the only other option according to them.

Or Dana White. Then they can finally host MMA fights.

Sure, until they decide to just get rid of the VA to save a few bucks.

From the post I’m assuming the 2200 are members of the listed unions.
comment in response to

True, which means they need a warrant signed by a judge or a proper subpoena to do anything.

Plus the statement that the US is last in education is also false. Also, literally the only part of the federal budget that is multiple trillions of dollars is Defense, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, and interest on federal debt.

Just find some random drunk to send and piss on Trump’s shoes…

If I don’t file I don’t even have a chance to get back the taxes that were already withheld… so yeah

Oh sure, I’m more just pointing out the limitations of AI for that. If they want to break the system there are much easier ways to do that.
comment in response to
post
AI programming is not great, and given the scale and complexity of the systems and unlikelihood that there’s even a decent model trained on those systems it’s likely that if they tried they’d end up with at best something that didn’t work and at worst something that broke the whole damn system.

It may be one of the only ones they’ll ever have, but it was definitely good to have Bo’s again. It’s so new the employees don’t seem sure of the business name.

Las Vegas finally has a Bojangles and a chicken biscuit was a glorious thing this morning.

That depends on whether his overhauling and kneecapping of the USDA prevents oversight of farms that could have prevented a larger spread of avian flu.

Ah yes, the Episcopal Church, branched from the Church of England which famously had nothing at all to do with politics…

Am I crazy or does this EO basically argue that the children of undocumented immigrants can act with impunity because they aren’t subject to US law?
comment in response to

Well yeah, but the folks claiming they’re doing this now are going the other way with it

The threat definitely hasn’t gone away with Trump assuming office next week. It just gained the tools of law enforcement, so fewer people will feel the need to act on their own.

Solution: we switch to centralized electronic voting and use TikTok as the platform to build it!
comment in response to
post
When the problem is my fellow citizens not voting and then being upset the guy they didn’t like ended up being elected it seems reasonable to blame them for that.
