Fuck this bible thumpin reactionary hillbilly dork.

"But he goes after both sides!"

No, He punches down on poor people. Fuck off with that.

The guy behind me that watches fox news all day because "he needs something to help him focus" immediately started spouting fox talking points as soon as the verdict was read. My younger coworkers were like, "no way, that's crazy" to all his bs. I just had to say, "no that's not true. I read the jury instructions and they don't say that." He moved onto insisting there was no evidence and Cohen perjured himself and at that point I was already on my way out the door.

He's Gen x, a landlord, new York exile, classic gabagool. Ugh.

I had dinner with my mom last night. She told me she made $2.20/hr as a waitress in 1972. Not including tips.

That's the equivalent of over $16/hr now.

The boomers have no idea how lucky they were. And they fucking wasted it.

Every one of my republican voting friends owns firearms and smokes weed. One of them has a hemp businesses that they're just waiting to switch over to cannabis as soon as it's legalized. Guess who's the most diehard Trump lover of the bunch...

We invented the flame thrower. I know George Carlin did the bit best but... Imagine explaining that to a group of aliens.

"You... you throw what now?"

"Flames, bro."

"For what purpose...?"

"Well, We had these people called Nazis and they liked to hide in concrete fortifications so we figured the best way to make them not be in there would be to fill it with fire."

"Does that not harm these 'nazis'?"

"Oh yeah, it harms them. That was like, a bonus."

"Well, It was nice meeting you. Goodbye forever."

"Mr. Sebastien, in your video from August 26, 2023 marked as exhibit 23B you referred to "the Madison situation". Can you explain what you meant by 'situation'?"

You may not like it but when there's credible accusations of harassment, constructive dismissal, and possibly up to battery you do not make public statements of any kind beyond, "We are investigating and taking the accusations seriously", which in case you missed it the CEO of LMG already did a week ago.

Denying him primary delegates, saving money during the main campaign, and effects on down ballot races are all good reasons to kick him out. Also, yknow, following the constitution which clearly disqualifies Trump.

If you don't like the 14th amendment, push for a new amendment to repeal it. If you really believe trump didn't engage in insurrection, push for congress to exonerated him with a 2/3 vote of the house as provided for in the 14th amendment.

Trump, and anybody else, cannot ignore constitutional restrictions on office just b cause he's popular.

The whole thing reminds me of Cersei skipping her trial at the temple. Trump, and the RNC, are willing to lose all of the downstream races as long as Trump wins because they just plan to kill all the democrats as soon as he takes over the armed forces. It's terrifying.

Lawmaker: "If these flurries think they're animals, we're gonna treat them like animals! "

Furries: "Yes, that's exactly what we want."

You're supposed to isolate until you don't have symptoms,however long that takes.

To paraphrase margery tyrell, "He doesn't care about the consequences because he doesn't intend to suffer them."

Trump has fallen ass backwards into a perpetual get out of jail free card. Is it any wonder he acts with impunity when events time after time prove that he is effectively immune from all but the most trivial inconveniences?

I've never been more glad to be child free.

The older I get the more I agree with this.

Like, we won. We did it. We have enough food, we can build enough homes, we can build enough clean energy to fulfill our requirements if we're halfway smart about it. What the fuck are we doing?

I'm pretty sure that having sex with underage girls is worse but that's just me.

Also the fact that one bad year in your tiny part of the world means you and everyone you know die slow agonizing deaths. Fun!

Do tesla shareholders not care that the ceo is fucking with their customers because a company stopped advertising with his other company?

Ostensibly, tesla has nothing to do with xitter. How is this acceptable to anyone?

So, the reason the judge made an exemption is because doctors were basically saying, "We have no idea how to provide care in these situations and not break the law".

The Republicans response is, again basically, "The doctors have no reason to be worried about being prosecuted so the exemption isn't needed in the first place."

They could fix it in 5 minutes by passing a law specifically providing protections but they won't because any reasonable law would allow at-will abortions too because, say it with me, ABORTIONS ARE MEDICAL CARE.

What do you mean? Trump won decisively. Electoral, popular, in the senate, etc...

You're really asking, "how does a minority continue to exist in the face of a fascist majority?"

The answer is, generally, they don't.

The right wingers and their former president literally attempted a coup. Yes, they are idiots and did a shit job of planning and preparing and trump lost his nerve but they still tried it.

I've wondered how long we'll go before universities across the country start refusing to accept Florida high school graduates because their coursework does not meet basic acceptance criteria.

This is exactly what DeSantis and his ilk want. Conservatives are scared shitless of their kids going off to university and finding out that their parents and schools have been lying to them their whole life.

Solution: Ensure no out-of-state schools will accept your students so they're stuck in your shitty system forever.
