I was stuck on the quote right before that where the person responsible for promoting this choice use the term, “responsible development of these areas.”

I have a strong suspicion that his vision of responsible development of an area that produces oil is not the is not sustainable or land-wise.

Ahhh, there it is again: the predictability. Right on time.

A combination of the two seems most applicable.

She feels more like a saccharine cookie, TBH.

She is synthetic in the sense of being fake, can cause stomach upset when you consume too much of her nonsense, and leaves a bad aftertaste.
February 4, 2026 at 7:37 AM
She’s still not really being authentic or sincere. She’s just saving herself. She’s picking and choosing talking points to try and insulate herself from her involvement in not just supporting but promoting this administration.

Her selective honesty is camouflage. She is still of the ick.

Not just a guy named Chad.

A guy named Chad from a town called Kyle.
A town in Texas.

That’s some metaMAGA.

The universe was obviously feeling snarky today, and this was not going to go unnoticed, or unmocked.

It’s always worthwhile to check for clarity, especially online! Cheers!

I did get what you meant.

Your reply is aligned with what I was trying to communicate: many people noticed, but how that information was interpreted was vastly different across political lines.

I apologize if that was not clear.

… the push-back across the US and from the international community.

This seems similar to how much more swiftly BIPOC LEOs who use deadly force against BIPOC people are generally more quickly named, sanctioned, and are more harshly sanctioned than their white counter parts.

… that these two agents will be thrown under the bus.
Far more quickly and probably more thoroughly than J Ross.
And I suspect that part of that will be a function of systemic racism. The other part will be the fact that the second murder galvanized, not only the people of MN, but intensified

I admit that their names struck me as well, but only in the sense that I thought it’s another example of the ways in which people become convinced that what they think is proximity to power will protect them.

Especially given how quickly they punted Bovino, I suspect that it is predictable

My understanding is that both of those individuals have been employed with CBP for several years, I think one of them for eight years and one of them for twelve?

Doug Ford 🤮 47 is a Putin wannabe, and Ford is Temu-47

Or, to keep a Canadian, he’s the
Bi-way version of the current POTUS.

It’s a bit of a deep cut, but if you’re a Canadian of a certain age, you will remember Bi-way. It was kind of the dollar store of its day.

I feel like the reality is somewhere between a conspiracy theory and a really bad Tele Novella but with a XXX rating.

He needs to keep her sweet, or at least not completely vicious, because as long as she remains his wife, she can’t be compelled to testify against him.

I’d be un surprised if both of them were planning to get rid of each other, and it’ll be a matter of which one acts first, or if he dies first.

… in the style that she believes she deserves, and that she will continue to keep her mouth shut as long as he settles a significant amount on their son, and a huge amount of money settled on her in his will.

Apparently she, Ivana, and Ghislaine Maxwell would go trolling for girls.
January 31, 2026 at 8:37 AM
I think that part of that was wanting to make sure that she got pregnant, and had a kid with him.

I highly suspect that the deal was that she will keep her mouth closed, and at least superficially play the dutiful wife, as long as she is financially
January 31, 2026 at 8:37 AM
I would suspect she’s too selfish to put herself in any kind of actual danger doing something like that.

I figured it was always about the money, but that she wanted more than money at the time. She wanted to ensure that she will have money ongoing.

Millions of pages with big obscuring marks all over them!

This is very literally the opposite of transparency. It’s not just obfuscation, it is both a literal and a metaphorical cover-up.
January 31, 2026 at 8:23 AM
No one actually thought he did, right?

At the time it happened, I knew relatively little about who he was or why he was a notorious. Even based on the little, I knew, it seemed vanishingly unlikely that he suicided.

Everything I learned after that, and since then has only seemed to confirm it.

I think I must miss a lot of of those memes because they don’t seem familiar, but in this case, I’m OK with what the algorithm is not feeding me. I am willing to take your word for it!

I’m sadly not surprised that there are Gen Xers spouting asinine commentary. I am, however, disgusted by the %

I’m still having difficulty wrapping my head around the fact that Millennials starting to hit their 40s.

Sadly, although it’s embarrassing, and mentally aggravating, I’m not surprised that there’s people in my generation that buy into this stupidity. I’m disgusted it’s so many. FFS 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m embarrassed by our Gen X American neighbours who are endorsing this perambulating disaster of an administration.

I’m equally embarrassed by the Gen Xers of various 47-leaning groups here in Canada. Frankly, I’m embarrassed by them in general, not just the ones in my age group. They’re vile.

I’m asking this sincerely because I’m confused. I’m Gen X. I can’t ever think of a moment when I associated Oakley‘s with Boomers.
I used to work at a Sunglass Hut.
When did Boomers start wearing Oakley’s?

I’m trying to imagine my mom in a pair of Oakley‘s and it’s kind of breaking my brain.
