This reminds me of Trump’s trial where he was threatened like 5 times with contempt, for outbursts in the courtroom. They never actually held him in contempt.

Pre-dentistry, a bunch of your teeth would have fallen out before your wisdom teeth came in. There would have been space for the wisdom teeth so they wouldn’t need to come in sideways.

This is not rogue. DOGE and the president are rogue. This person is following the law.

Yes, please. Removing the US from NATO has the advantage that countries like Ukraine and Georgia can sooner join NATO. Since Russia is hostile to them, Trump (who is a Russian asset) would never let them join NATO. Getting the US out of NATO removes Trump’s vote.

The US can no longer be expected to fulfill its obligations to NATO anyway, so removing the US doesn’t decrease NATO’s total defensive power. Trump has said he would refuse to help unless other NATO countries increase spending (which is happening slowly, but not yet). Trump would never deploy the military to defend against any attack by Putin. He may even deploy the military to assist Putin.

It’s not a pump-n-dump this time. In my opinion, it’s a laundered bribe. The 800k victims were an unintended benefit.

Make them do it. The US Marshals should have resisted also, as DOGE is illegal.

Let me make one final plea, Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you and, as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families, some who fear for their lives. The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings; who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants; who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They…may not be citizens or have the proper documentation. But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurudwaras and temples. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. And that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land. May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love and walk humbly with each other and our God for the good of all people. Good of all people in this nation and the world. Amen

(This is the end of the sermon, the part that addresses Trump. I couldn’t find the full text.)

I’m just gonna say let’s call a spade a fucking spade. Especially if there were two spades done in succession based on the reaction of the first spade.

If we’re calling a spade a spade, Elon is a flush.

A vitamin is any essential dietary component, which is organic (otherwise it would be a mineral nutrient), and is not a fat, protein/amino acid, or carbohydrate (although carbohydrates are considered non-essential).

Vitamin D is conditionally essential. If you have enough sunlight, your body can synthesize it.

Same here. The pizza ran out in the first 10 minutes, and many employees got nothing.

This idea has been around longer than RFK Jr. has been relevant in politics. These ads are illegal in most of the civilized world.

The more I read about him, the more my opinion solidifies that his position is simply: be against all of mainstream medicine.

Kiss the ring. Bend the knee. Grovel for your dictator.

They know what’s about to happen to them, and they’re allowing it to happen early, before he even takes power. Don’t support these collaborators.

The suspect was at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania and was recognized by an employee who then called local police.

I’m accusing parallel construction. The released photos have so little detail that there must be a hundred thousand Americans that match their appearance.

What options are there? Signal is not viable, because it requires a special type of phone number to sign up, so can’t be used on desktop. WhatsApp is proprietary. Matrix took me 8 tries to find a server that would let me sign up, and then the client wouldn’t allow me to send private messages.

Don’t quit. Government workers are entitled to more recourse than normal employees if they are going to be fired. Usually you can’t just fire them for no reason.

Quitting would also prevent severance pay.

Sue for defamation. He called your work “fake jobs”. Now his followers are threatening your life.

Even if Trump doesn’t abuse his power to escape this, he will die of old age before 4 years are up.

You know damn well this isn’t about surgery. It’s about hormones, and it says so right there in the summary. You didn’t even have to click the link. Nobody is doing breast implants on trans minors (only on cis minors, which is perfectly fine for some reason).

Forcing a trans kid to go through the wrong puberty even though they know they are trans is extremely traumatic. It’s life ruining. It alters the voice, the shape of the torso, the shape of the face, and facial and body hair in ways that either can’t be fixed at all, or can only be fixed with expensive surgeries later on.

And if you want people to be absolutely sure about their status before going on hormone replacement therapy, then that is exactly what puberty blockers are for. Leuprorelin prevents puberty so that the kid can figure themself out for a year or two, and then make sure they go through the correct puberty. Even if they decide not to be transgender in the end, they can just go off leuprorelin and start puberty.

It seems in Texas, if you cannot afford to pay a funeral home to claim your loved one’s corpse, then the corpse will be sold for parts, to raise the necessary money to dispose of it. And you won’t get a funeral.
