Republicans will pass laws to keep you from voting rather than giving you a reason to vote for them…

we mostly sell that oil to ourselves so it's a wash

it just redistributes the wealth from the rest of us, to the oil barons

shortsighted as always

A quaint approach in a 2nd-amendment environment

This is an overlooked facet of the data center ecocide problem. In addition to the physical waste they produce, with PFAS in the water and nitrogen oxides in the air, the thermal output can’t be ignored either. Research on cities shows even air conditioners cause ecological disruption at scale.

I don't think 'special' is quite the right word there

As an American who is dedicated to the vision found in our Constitution, I disagree. Might does not make right.

this is nearly as stupid as Patel announcing UFC fighters are going to train FBI agents

well this will help those FBI guys every time they get into a hand-to-hand fight on a canvas mat against unarmed criminals

Dear romantasy writers: stop trying to prove your military training is so brutal by saying how many people die during it. A country with a strong military does not want recruits dying in training. They want them to live to see the battle. Training deaths are also just really bad for morale.

"I wasn't abused, mommy and daddy beat me regularly but it was fair and I was hardly ever hospitalized!"

Something very funny about the US telling the guys sailing giant floating fireballs to sack up and run the Strait, then being like "no way, are you kidding? It's scary in there!" when someone asks fully armed US Navy warships to go.

helicopters loaded with oil should do it

hey trump's been doing decapitation strikes against world leaders. great time to talk about the ballroom you're building over where the presidential emergency bunker used to be.

jurisprudence the GOP would approve of

there is and can be only one leader, the dear leader

could Lummis articulate it?

no, no she could not

the 'threat to the homeland' is internally generated, and Ernst is part of it

Trump has tremendous difficulty with principled people (even if as with the Iranian regime, the principles are bad). He assumes everyone is a transactional fraud like him. Works well with rich Americans and poorly with idealists of any stripe

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

I think Meuser means SubGenius

data centers will help with that

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

I hear Fortunate Son every time Lindsey Graham opens his mouth

including from the intelligence community, career government economists, and the like

You know I can remember a high school global studies teacher pointing out the Strait of Hormuz on a map and explaining why it was so important and how easy it would be to close off and it just astonishes me that my 9th grade teacher put more thought into this shit than our current government.

It is maddening to see people animated by false allegations of fraud against daycare workers making pennies compared to the billionaires defrauding Americans to the tune of, well, billions, all while investing in and running platforms to spread the daycare fraud lies
