You mean after years of fucking up the economy / gaslighting us all that “We’re on the Right Track”, she suddenly decides they CAN give some minor dollars to hospitals???

1) Believe it when I see it. Privatizing is still the plan.
2) How much?
3) Fuck off, you incompetent wanknozzle.

Well that’s certainly the headline the government wanted when they drew it up on the whiteboard, cheers NZME, job done.

Not all Republicans are pedos…
But 95% of the Pedos are Republican.

Just sayin.

Theta Salmon @thetasalmon.bsky.social · 15h

Yep.

Apparently every accusation was a confession…

Who knew?

Not only is this rude, inappropriate, partisan, costly, and illegal, it reveals the fundamentally anti-American idiocy of this administration’s policy of handing over to China the most important economic sector of the 21st century.

Next move from OMB - canceling $8 billion in clean energy funds. You will note, all of the projects are in states led by Democrats

To be fair that’s only because Bari is a deluded Zionist fuckwit with zero integrity.

We seem to have reached the ‘portraying the KKK in a negative light is controversial’ stage already.

I am broadly unimpressed with the candidates.

Especially the deluded munter who refers to himself in the third person… and the bullet point guy obsessed with traffic.

Also: Fuck Wayne Brown. He needs to take his cranky old man bullshit to the rest home he richly deserves.

Brilliant.

I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.

You don't have to swallow frogs

Klein and Coates show that if you don't know what your core beliefs are, you're going to get played.

Caltrops, people.

Easy to make.
Look them up.

Just quietly slip them under ICE tires when they are busy being Fascist Cucks, then as soon as they try to drive away all four tires deflate safely.
Then there’s no leaving.

If you make a bunch you can even toss them unobtrusively from a distance.

It’s Weekend At Bernie’s in the Oval Office now.

I wonder how much longer they can dangle naked 12 year old girls under his nose, show him Saving Private Ryan while telling him it’s Portland, and push his shambling corpse around the White House before it doesn’t work anymore.

“We’re now going to Wolf Blitzer in the Capitulation Room!!…….”

No lie detected.

Theta Salmon @thetasalmon.bsky.social · 2d

All this is great. But I just want to remind everyone that lowkey every Republican (except Massie) IS and FOREVER WILL BE a Pedo protector.

Just like every other time they have done the exact same thing.

Protect the pedos in power.
Anyone remember Denny Hastert?? Gym Jordan??
Always the same.

Elon’s ego is writing cheques that his sanity definitely can’t cash.

I think that’s a huge source of the current problem: 90% of people don’t know the difference between a blog post/Reading some Internet paged… and actual Research.
