Not to be callous, but I really have to wonder what the line is between an acceptable and unacceptable number of child deaths before someone in charge in that state actually does something. Obviously, I know the GOP playbook: the first lawmaker’s kid who dies and suddenly it will be “important,” but assuming that doesn’t happen, what’s the number?
The US may not have military parades in a traditional sense, but they absolutely have something similar: at just about any outdoor sporting event from the college level to pro, there’s some sort of military “thing.” Whether it be a fly-over, funded by the Pentagon, or a color guard there for the national anthem. Also, at NASCAR races, the Army either used to or still does sponsor a car. Those are the examples I can think of off the top of my head. It’s not. North Korea or USSR by any means, but it’s kind of always there.
Edit: correcting some misspellings
Texas about to outlaw social security as porn!
I can’t think of a more “American” thing than enlisting immigrants to make your fledgling country “great,” only to turn around and villainize them in an effort to make it great “again.”
Same. I’ve long said that if they’re take my social security, I’m gone. I have a small list of places I would leave the US for.
Yes.
worked on Trump’s pandemic response
Seems like she might be good at keeping shit off of her. That, or she’s failing upwards. I guess we’ll find out!
… which has cut significant amounts of government spending…
Has it, though? I mean, even its own over-inflated “receipts” are barely a microscopic percentage of a drop of the overall budget.
Yeah. This tracks. Daddy has to keep tabs on his bitch.
Elon Musk, ladies and gents. Genius of the World increasing government efficiency in the most inefficient way conceivable!
I don’t think it’s mean. There’s a reason we have a federal retirement age, and I think it’s stupid that we don’t apply it to elected and appointed officials.
He won’t have to. Musk will just buy it and make it WaPo 2.0
Yeah, either way, it was a pretty dumb thing to say. Court the guy’s endorsement or don’t, but don’t actively denigrate the guy. He represents a sizable group of voters, and as I reminded a friend today, one of the bedrock rules of running for election is never call voters stupid (similar to saying we don’t need you to win). Everybody might “know” it, but you never ever come right out and say it. Only one guy has somehow found success doing that.
Accurate. Glad to see someone is calling it like they see it.
I thought Harris’ tone-deaf moment was in response to him deciding not to endorse a candidate rather than the other way around. Maybe I’m confusing union bosses, but I didn’t think the guy who spoke at the RNC endorsed either ticket in the end.
RIGHT!? The treasury and HR! Why are Senators not screaming until they’re hoarse!? If this isn’t the worst Executive overreach in the history of this country I don’t know what is!
All I have to say, and I said it on that day of the RNC, but fuck that union guy for actually thinking the GOP gave 2 shots about unions after generations of fighting like Hell to gut them. Also fuck him for not endorsing the candidate who, while not necessarily a friend of unions, certainly wouldn’t have been actively working against them.
This is the answer. This dipshit is on national TV 100% because he was duped by a con-man. A con-man that over 75 million people saw for exactly what he was. If this guy, and everyone who stupidly follows him, didn’t see it, that’s on him & them.
I guess there can be at least one upside to sticking your dick in crazy. Or, I guess, letting crazy stick its dick in you.
That gave a fuck. Did you not see them offering their thoughts and prayers? Besides, the 2nd amendment precludes them from doing literally anything to stop that kind of child death, price of freedom, and all that.
Hey, I think you helped me answer my own question. There is no number. Price of freedom. Thoughts and prayers. Move along.
Cool.
