Are we up to 5-D chess now?

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

vibes, man.

also, they're in a cult.

No, no, that's for the poors. Medical care is for the wealthy.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

This is not what we need; we need to tax billionaires. Still.

You need better advisors who actually live and work in reality.

but i'm sure jared read a book.

They're convinced they're the king-makers, and silly things like reality aren't going to get in their way.

Is this a new viral marketing campaign?

I've never had one, but if it's going to destroy a society which is allowing all THIS < gestures wildly > to happen & all these wildly incompetent and evil people to succeed while the rest of us are struggling & shamed for small joys, I'll give it a try.

he's busy composing clever 4chan/reddit gotcha replies for serious questions commonly asked of politicians, so incels online will think he's cool

Is any thinking person not?

I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids.

it's a very solemn golf course y'know

I also started dyeing my hair back in the mid-90s, and I've haven't been pulled over in years (knock on wood!), so it's quite possible it changed ages ago & I never bothered to check.

I looked, too, and mine no longer says it, either! (I was curious because I stopped dyeing it a few years ago, and I'm now also grey, but when I renewed my license online, I couldn't remember if that question came up or how I answered it.)

i called ahead because i'm an anxious sort, and they told me it was supposed to list my natural hair color. my red was OBVIOUSLY not a hair color that occurs in nature. i confirmed when i got my photo taken, and that person agreed that it was supposed to be natural hair color.

Oh, that makes me so happy! I'd read some disappointing reviews, but reviews are so hit-or-miss (even before ai) that it's hard to know what's valid.

i was told by DPS i had to list my natural hair color, even though i was a fake redhead for literal decades. on the rare occasions i got pulled over for speeding, they were always cranky that it didn't match, so they're not even consistent with their own arbitrary policies.

that's too hard! and it takes away from the real job of courting big money donors and insider trading.

and just steal their oil while making them run themselves mostly

The U.S. economy lost jobs in 0 of the 48 months Joe Biden was president. It has lost jobs in 6 of the 14 months of Trump's second term.

those poor children! won't someone please think of / protect the children?

Maybe they should turn on the machines? /wink
