Like getting pregnant in the United States?
Man these DOGE videos are like the parody of the fantastical version of βunelected bureaucratsβ Republicans have railed on for years
twould be nice
Was going to quote something like "Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them" but no, he is just plain fuckin stupid.
These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.
Definitely trying their damnedest to test the floor of that approval rating...
Called for a tow from the scene of an accident nearly three hours ago. Still waiting.
Thanks for the lovely afternoon long wait, Subaru/Toyota roadside assistance⦠#StillWaiting
world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
Remember how Trump's SOTU included a line about how he'd stopped eight wars, including Israel v. Iran?
βMr President, your approval ratings are in the toilet, the economy is looking increasingly brittle, and you are sailing one tide ahead of a swarm of personal and corruption scandals. The midterms are looking ominous.β
βWhat if I started a war of choice and made gas $7 per gallon this summer?β
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
The apparent Scouting move announced by Pete Hegseth today is more unacceptable capitulation.
It is a truly embarrassing move by the Scouts in particular. The Scouts capitulating to a lawless murderer is the opposite of the lessons I learned during my time in Scouts.
Even if it was an accident, it shows extremely poor judgment. Neo-Nazis use anti-war rhetoric in bad faith, to get boosted by well-meaning people.
Falling for the trick shows you are either complicit or too gullible to hold real power.
I think the question is less whether the Trump executive order could hold up in court than how far he is willing to go and how much chaos he is willing to cause in response. None of his 2020 election claims held up in court either.
My ESF career, such as it is, is now old enough to vote. How in the hell did that happen?
Thatβs enough internet for today.
Flying is not a constitutional right.
Drinking beer is not a constitutional right.
One does not always need to provide an ID to buy beer (Iβm rarely carded).
And neither flying nor drinking require the onerous proof of citizenship that the SAVE Act demands to exercise a constitutional right.

To my mind, this is the single tweet that explains 95% of the energy behind the MAGA movement.
JUST DROPPED: Supreme Court decision on (most of Trump's tariffs). They're unconstitutional. They've always been unconstitutional. Turn 'em off.
This wasn't a trade war; it was a pointless and illegal diversion.
Beer me. What a freaking day.
The Constitution says "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law." Presidents who violate the Constitution should be impeached and removed from office.
Picture via a CNN reporter of a banner with Trumpβs face going up on outside of DOJ building
Biden wouldβve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakinβ Department of Justice building
The possibility that pre-Elon Twitter was limiting the reach of conservative tweets was the greatest story in the history of journalism, while a vast network of sex trafficking pedophiles that included billionaires, celebrities and two presidents is just a big yawn.
WHITE HOUSE: "When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump."
TRUMP 2 WEEKS AGO: "Somebody posted, a staffer posted ... somebody slipped. I didn't do it. This was done by somebody else."
If anyone else was this ignorant about the *entire purpose of their job*, they'd be fired instantly
Just once Iβd love these guys to come back from Europe and say βHad a great time in Europeβ instead of endorsing a Fourth Reich
This is the reason behind the Trump
administrationβs intense desire to ban Talarico content.
If they lose the evangelicals, they lose all their power.
