If the GOP dislikes how people keep calling them fascists, how about we just call them terrorists? Is that not a completely accurate description of this? State-sponsored terrorism.

The have some jurisdiction over Fox network affiliates, but Watters is on Fox News. That's cable, satellite, and internet. The FCC has no jurisdiction over such content.

Wait, does someone think Trump is president? It's not about trading Trump for Vance, it would be trading shadow Presidents Miller and Bondi and Noem and Patel and Lutnick and Homan for Vance. The fake hillbilly would at least TRY to be President and thus take power from the fascist podcaster squad.

Antifa IT sucks ass too. Everybody has a Guy Fawkes avatar as their profile pic and none of them can remember their goddamn passwords.

As long as you’re going to prison anyway, you should consider burning a flag too.

I’m 100% sure AI wrote their EULA, which overall aren’t really tested in court anyway.

They’ll also like the ability to provide the desired result and get the vibelawyer to just spit out the rationale that gets them there, irrespective of whether it’s rooted in legal reality.

We also have these things called “states” which have differing laws. Their approach might not be half-bad for more rigid civil law country like France or something.

What, what? If someone sues the vibelawyer because I used the service, I indemnify THEM?

His puffiness, 4-day absences, but still good energy levels reminds me a lot of what happens with a solu-medrol infusion. Could explain the hand bruising too if that’s where the IV was placed.

Are they going to fake an entire Middle East trip to hide his vegetative state after they do whatever black magic they are doing that knocks him out for 3-4 days at a time?

I forget where I heard it, but there was a journalist who said “Sometimes there aren’t two sides to a story” but of course you can’t say that these days in the media. They’d say that’s biased, so we have to do “Randomly punching nuns: the arguments for and against”.

I was actually looking at going to Portland during our school break next week. My relatives out that way talked me out of it because that said it would be too boring this time of year. They said to go when the weather is nicer.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

The sanewashing and bothsidesing within the media at large isn’t helping either. They’re promoting a view that this is somehow all normal, a mere disagreement of reasonable minds.

We need a protest where a line quietly forms outside the White House and each person quietly burns a flag. One after another, every 5 minutes. I’m in.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

There is no budget "deal" to be made

President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

Heads we’re all fired as AI takes our jobs. Tails the bubble bursts and takes the economy with it.

Most of their “reforms” involved opening up cooperatives and short-term plans that are quite cheap from the premium point of view. Just don’t get sick.

Jeffrey F Steiner @jfs.bsky.social · 2d

He’s correct as long as you focus solely on cost. The GOP wants the best health care so long as you’re employed and healthy enough that you require minimal care in the first place. They care about affordable premiums but not outcomes.

Hamas has infiltrated the White House?

Jeffrey F Steiner @jfs.bsky.social · 2d

“glorifies death and killing” was the main theme of Hegseth’s speech in Quantico. I also suspect Hamas dislikes all things woke, much like Hegseth.

We made it a game. Every time she says “waiting for your host to join” we do a shot.
