I’d vote for a bag of Biden’s toenail clippings over Trump. Stay in the race or leave, I don’t really care, so long as they’ve got a winning strategy to follow. Trump has done enough damage to this country - let’s not give him another round.
I wish only the best to not-Trump, whoever that ends up being.
Could Biden use that ruling to just stay president, but leave them the opportunity to repeal it? Illustrate how dangerous it is while still giving the system a chance to self-correct.
Yeah, by Yahoo… fuckin assholes.
Just realized this is the perfect time of year to stock up on some fireworks. That level of evil leaving the government (formally or influentially) absolutely merits celebration!
…there are a few of those fucking cockroaches whose passing would justify lighting up a few celebratory 'splosions.
IT WAS SO GOOD! It was better in like 2010 than shit like discord is today.
Would be an incredible product today if it continued to receive development (w/o enshitification ofc).
It’ll almost be like having xFire again!
…I miss that software. IIRC they were bullshit-litigated out of existence.
Does that count as introspection?
I don’t recall ever seeing Bobo and mtg both at the same time… pretty sure they’re just one Nazi who occasionally dons a wig and glasses.
Fox addiction.
People like Elon are part of why I refuse to bring anyone into this dumpster fire of a planet.
It works in the US, too. I’ve gotten great care at the VA (no, seriously… they have a bad reputation, and the infrastructure is ghetto as fuck, but the actual quality of care is great).
There’s also the USPHS, but honestly I’ve never actually met someone who joined or seen one of their facilities… I think they mostly do humanitarian stuff overseas?
Point being, we have the framework for it already. I could see the VA expanding it’s mission/coverage to spouses/families of vets, and use that as the baby step into coverage for everyone. Fun bonus: state law can suck a dick on federal facilities, so all the rednecks can write as much misogynistic legislation as they want locally, but Susie’s rights suddenly return the second she steps into federal property, even if it’s a hospital in the middle of Y’all Quaeda territory.
I’m not really worried about Trump specifically so much as the movement he’s unleashed. Cult 45 is going to lose their fucking minds when he finally dies… he could literally choke to death on Putin’s dick on live TV and it’d still be pitched as some kind of deep state hit job that merits retaliation. This shit doesn’t end with Trump.
I have an extension recommendation if you’re using Firefox (and if not, I’m sure there are similar ones for other browsers):

Makes a little popup when you double click a word with its definition; and you can even double click a word in that for a followup definition when necessary.
I use it all the time - 10/10.
…why are you getting downvoted for looking up a word??
Depends on how they progress. Smart doesn’t necessarily mean good.
They all act like morons, but especially for the ones on top, it becomes a question of whether they came into power by being just the right type of stupid; or are they just good at behaving like an idiot because that’s an effective way to manipulate actual idiots?
We have a tendency to be dismissive of them as -just- being stupid, but every time we give them the village-idiot pass, we’re making their strategy that much more successful.
Look at the harm Trump has caused - he wouldn’t get away with a tenth of what he’s done if he acted competently.
…honestly it’s basically the Darth Jar Jar fan theory - you can get away with doing all kinds of evil if you just act like an idiot while you do it.

The Nazis didn’t get it right the first time either.
Don’t let the right wing’s clown act get your guard down.
When a dragon hoards the people’s gold, the solution isn’t to give it more gold.
We have a news outlet reporting on another news outlet’s report on a news outlet’s reaction to an actual event. 🍿
This can go deeper!
That’s why he should leave the door open for scotus to repeal their decision; and be VERY vocal about exactly what he’s doing. “I am 100% abusing this new power granted by the scotus in order to shine the spotlight on just how dangerous it is; consider the damage I could be doing right now if my intent was malicious. What I’ll do instead is wait for the scotus to wake up and revise their incredibly bad decision, concluding the power I shouldn’t have in the first place and forcing me to step down as my position requires.”
