Someone needs to convince Tucker, Tim Pool, Ben Shapiro, and Alex Jones that they would be really great fighters.

This has been way too much fun this weekend.

they think if kids start dieing en masse white christians will start having a lot if kids again. (they're also hoping it will kill minorities more iften, which it will because of racialized outcomes in the american medical system)

they are pure evil
So angry when I remember that not only are they destroying public health for no reason but they're also justifying it, in part, by claims it will prevent children from being Autistic like me, my brother and many of my friends.

Because kids being dead is apparently preferable to them being Autistic.

The result of decades of conservative government in Alaska. A state that sells oil, provides top quality seafood to much of the world, had a huge investment account, is so unique people come from around the world to see it.

Conservatives not only failed, they wasted every opportunity for Alaska.

School officials haven’t put forward formal proposals to implement any of those measures, but they say tough decisions are ahead.

Like, congrats. Rep. Lee has in fact proposed a protection racket for the illegal war crimes he and his fellow congresspeople refuse to exercise their right and duty to stop. This deadend performative bill may be the purest distillation of Trumpism possible.

then selling the undeclared remainder of the drugs, the guns, and the boat back to the cartel once they've gotten it out of the most-likely-to-be-drone-struck (illegally and as a war crime) region.

I mean, this will never go anywhere, but if it does, you will immediately see people arranging to obtain a letter of marque, "seize" boats so they don't get (illegally and war-crimedly) drone striked, turn over a fraction of the drugs for destruction,
So the thing about this - the first of many things, but just the first thing that jumps out to me:

"Seize Cartel Assets." On drug boats. That's drugs and automatic weapons.

"Hey, do you want a shit-ton of coke and bulk Chinese AK-47s? That you won't have to declare to anyone? Go get 'em, sport!"
FFS. Is Mike Lee even serious?
This is asinine.

BREAKING:

At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing Trump — less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice to the public.

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of

The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

The head of the EHRC Mary-Anne Stephenson donated to this case Alison Bailey finally lost against Stonewall.

Looks like she supports the power imbalance in the legal system that wealth produces & of the kind that has been used to exclude trans girl guides.

Called Trump Ozymandias this week. That was wrong. He’s a Label-maker Ozymandias. He’s the kind of guy who’d slap his name on the Great Pyramid and claim to have built one of the seven wonders.

I've been in both positions.

The one thing you can't fake, tough your way through, or be brave about?

Being so tired you think you might die, zero hyberbole.
When these vanity fights happen (Mayweather-McGregor being the classic example these days), I always tell people that the pro won't end it early. It's easier to take a punch than people think, and harder to land one.

Way easier and funnier to let the amateur wear himself out. Always happens.

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.
