lol the grey tribe biotech guys are genuinely so pathetic man

Yeah, so that wasn't good.

Don't misread this.

Deregulation is so insanely good that it outweighs this.

All the biotech deregulation is *probably* still worth this, but man...

We're going to torture a lot of pregnant moms and autistic children for no reason.

THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Some of the gossip I heard was that he was bi.

However, considering the source I got it from - I assumed it was just homophobia at the time (this was about a year before they actually separated).

Yeah the North American track record on eugenics is not stellar.

The guy who was voted the Greatest Canadian was a Eugenist by education, although it seems he abandoned what he was taught and never used it when he was premier of Saskatchewan

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, 1629: Mr. Cromwell! I make haste with word that the King is threatening to dissolve Parliament!

CROMWELL: [looks at feet] I haven't read the tweet yet

MP: But good sir, we must act, do you not think?

CROMWELL: [looks away] Yes, we must do something about his Medicaid policy

Among the many possibilities for the next few years, the scenario of swapping one pair of dominant parties (Lab and Con) for another (Reform and LD) is intriguing, under-discussed and, in English elections, not entirely implausible either (several county councils made this leap in May)

So you can’t guarantee a private company will build a pipeline to tidewater when transmountain isn’t at capacity.

Just say it. You want the federal government to petrocanada a second pipeline to the coast

By the way ICE in this video is driving a $100k luxury SUV. They’re literally gangsters with a $100 billion dollar budget, which, like any gangster, they have used to buy themselves luxury cars and guns. Pretty soon they’ll start gold-plating their weapons, because why not

Among those RIFd:

I fully believe the theory that's going around that ICE has deliberately been recruiting from far-right militia groups, and the masking and refusal to identify ICE agents have been doing is an attempt to obscure that fact as opposed to being intended to "protect" them.

A DHS camera man calmly films this kavanaugh stop.

Eventually the public will see some (though not all) of this recorded footage, and it will reveal human rights violations beyond what we thought we knew.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

They can’t even stop an inflatable frog outside their ICE facility in Portland. How can they stop millions across America?

The U.S. government can’t even control one block in Portland to stop protests with their ICE thugs, how are they going to stop millions across the U.S.?
