It’s comforting to know most of the uniformed participants will probably dislike the experience and think it’s a cringe waste of their time.

I feel like secret service would get itself all in a tizzy, citing things like “terrorism” and “chemical warfare” if members of the senate and/or their staffers received care packages containing:

Alkylated lead compounds, Polycyclic organic matter (POM), Mercury, Hexachlorobenzene, Polychlorinated biphenyls(PCB), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofurans (TCDF), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

Seems kinda hypocritical imho.

Several Republican lawmakers have been attempting to revoke the rule. Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah introduced the resolution which passed Thursday. Curtis had argued that the rule disincentivized companies to deploy new technology to reduce pollution.

“The rule put forward under the former administration shut the door on progress,” Curtis said in a statement after the resolution’s passage. “It told companies that no matter how much they invest to reduce harmful emissions, they would still be punished with permanent red tape. That’s not good science, it’s not good governance, and it certainly isn’t good for the environment. My resolution restores a common-sense incentive: if you clean up, you get credit for it.”

Buuuuuuuuut, if you don’t clean up, don’t worry about it.

I went so far as to trade my S&P500-flavored index funds for large cap value-flavored ones so I could avoid holding TSLA even by association. It’s so stupid how that moist waste of carbon-based material turned something as silly as an electric car brand into a political totem of autocracy.

Robyn Denholm: Earlier today, there was a media report erroneously claiming that the Tesla Board had contacted recruitment firms to initiate a CEO search at the company. This is absolutely false (and this was communicated to the media before the report was published). The CEO of Tesla is Elon Musk and the Board is highly confident in his ability to continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead.

“Exciting growth” as in aggressive malignant cancer of democracy and civic decency?

Cougars masticating my countenance?

Maybe you’ll even get a chance to help hold hogs accountable for their actions!

Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security

Mmmmm, barium bromide.

The hypocrisy is unreal. I have been successfully holding onto my final shred of hope in the goodness of humankind, but this tips the scale. I give up. Now I only have despair in the badness of humunkind. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to drown my sorrow by bingeing on Napster, Scour, BitTorrent, newsgroups, and Gnutella.

Maybe there’s a discount if they sign a loyalty oath or barter with the scalps of ‘dangerous unhinged Marxist lefstists’?

I’ve seen Rapture. Would not recommend.

As an aside, why can’t any of his stupid I-fucking-hate-this-future ideas be something that’s actually kinda cool, if not also just as dangerous? Like a space elevator or a hole to access a near-infinite supply of magma to generate power, or dropping a nuke into the eye of a hurric- wait, scratch that last one. He already suggested it, but, like always, failed to follow through.

Chicken shit on chicken meat definitely does add some zing to the flavor profile. Maybe the USDA is just feeling out its more epicurian tendencies?

Sounds like a ticking time bomb 😬

Check mate

I feel like eclipsing the rule of law by declaring martial law will just beget more violence. But I guess they want that, too, as the apocalypse accelerationists they are. Boy will they be embarrassed when everyone’s either dead, dying, or covered in blood and the rapture still doesn’t happen.

Someday in the medium-far future, after all the nurembergish trials and hangalangs feel like a distant memory, some producer and streaming service will reboot the West Wing, only it’ll be the Trump West Wing and those future people will get to watch the unbridled escapades and think that’s kinda just the normal way politics happened for us primitive morons.

Ha! Who am I kidding? Rampant accelerated climate change will ensure nothing of the sort ever happens. “Future people,” what a concept!

So I’ve been scratching my head so long as I ponder how an unofficial digital currency officially named after and endorsed by the sitting president, an elected official officially bound to ethical legal standards, is somehow a thing that’s still happening out in the open, unchallenged, that I’ve finally reached the arachnoid mater and am on the cusp of accessing my grey matter within the month.

Because they love Jesus as much, maybe more, than I do! And they told me Jesus loves them, and me, too! And they said other things that confirmed my biases and it made me feel good about my anger! And then they said abortion is evil and that’s what my church man said Jesus said and then Jesus looked at me! I hate immigrants!

Perhaps broadly classifying people as terrorists will embolden them to live up to the label accordingly.

I mean, if they can expect to be treated like a terrorist, they might as well act like it if the repercussions for not acting like it are the same.

How far down the ‘thou art a terrorist’ slippery slope are people who peaceably protest Tesla and Trump, endorse non-conservative candidates, choose not to go to church or go to the ‘wrong’ church, or post counter-conservative content online?
