Under Trump, hundreds of America’s wild horses are being sold for as little as $25 and being sent to slaughter, report says

Reply in thread

In a roundabout way, this move is meant to keep feeding areas available, probably for cows. Most of these slaughtered horses will end up being glue and animal feed. While they've done a fantastic job of 'reducing regulations' I don't think we're quite at wild horse meat substitutions for beef.

Maybe not so fun fact, cheval is horse meat, not legal in the us, much like beef they are raised in really specific ways, so I kind of doubt these wild horses will be good for consumption.

Trump is a Plant Whose Sole Purpose is to Usher in the Apocalypse

Ok Cool, second question, fucking why?

Edit: I am genuinely interested, the guy who told me did so right after that happened. He told me it was so that the Illuminati would be known. As layman who does not dig deep into all that, it just didn't make good sense. If I was an evil group of rich people who wanted to reveal ourselves I would do something awesome, not just fucking flick the lights on and off.

No one hates a particular religious group quite like the people whose own religion is 99.9% identical to theirs (e.g. Catholic vs. Protestant)

As far as I'm concerned, Religions are categorized first by who their god is so I'd lump these and more together.

Abrahamic Religions: The most prominent Abrahamic religions are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.[3] They—alongside Samaritanism,[4] the Druze faith,[5] the Baháʼí Faith,[3] and the Rastafari movement[3]—all share a common belief in the God of Abraham. Likewise, the Abrahamic religions share similar features distinguishing them from other categories of religions:[6]

Log Cabin Republicans announce they no longer support trans rights - LGBTQ Nation

It's crazy how this sounds just like non-cabin Republicans talking about log cabin Republicans.

Republican state Sen. Bob Hall, 77, said LGBT groups promoted “unnatural sex,” according to the Fort-Worth Star Telegram, while 69-year-old GOP activist Steven Hotze charged gay people with encouraging “immoral and perverted sexual proclivities” in emails opposing the Texas Log Cabin Republicans’ recognition by the state party.

“The [Log Cabin Republicans] is a front group for the LGBTQ,” Hotze wrote, which he claims seeks to “force businesses, churches, schools, governments, and individuals to accept, affirm, and celebrate those who promote and participate in perverted sexual activities.”

TIL that in 2025, Americans spent roughly $166 billion on gambling. That’s more than the entire U.S. movie, music, book, and museum industries combined.

Everyone I've known to get addicted to heroin started with simple painkillers, after the prescription was gone they went Black market, this led to stronger and stronger pills until the pills just didn't do it anymore. Is somebody who was prescribed 40 mg Percocet per day for more than 2 months I can tell you, it's fucking hard to stop.

GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley says Trump isn't following the law

With full control of the executive, Congressional, and supreme Court, all of this stuff could be done legally. Trump is CHOOSING not to for the sole purpose of extending the power of the executive as has been described by many (Unitary Executive Theory). These senators and representatives would be smart not to cede any power, they will not get it back.
