Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

Punishing officials who lie in court and on documents is desperately needed to drag us out of the legitimacy of bullshit the Trump era has created.

I didn't know about that one and had to look it up! Very reminiscent of the controversial Garfield where Jon seemingly drinks dog semen ("no you don't understand, it was dog pregnancy vitamins...")

yes, definitely one of the most divisive Far Sides!
(the bigger context is that War Rocket Ajax has a long-running feature where they rank comic book stories. For a while they allowed comic strips to be submitted, and there was a HEAVY debate as to whether Cow Tools qualified as a "story")

Exactly one option, so I guess this is both the most interesting AND the most consequential:

forum wars took over the government. the 10,000-page thread spilled out into the streets. people are getting their doors blown open and hogtied so that nerds can win an online argument. they tanked the dollar and fucked the economy permanently to own you

another reason it was stupid to believe charlie kirk was a turning point in american politics is that the right is responding to bad bunny with the same level of furor as they did to a brutal assassination

I mean, in absolutely no store do they keep high-value items on a shelf right near the exit, with no checkout counters or anything in between.

we went to Japan this summer to visit relatives and took our nephew to a Toys*R*Us while we were there; I was almost as excited as he was!

"the city came in and tested us and said we were within regulations" is neither an "excuse" nor a "rationalization"

If you are coming into this with the assumption "complainants are always reasonable, their targets always liars" then I have some bad news for you about city council complaints.

But religion (and in Walsh's case, rampant Islamophobia) aside, this is a simple noise dispute, there are clear rules and the city council is going through its process. If this were a factory blowing a whistle at 5:30am it would not be making national news.

Weird you only posted one side of quotes:

"This is crazy. We don't wanna bother anybody," Bahalwan told CBS News Detroit. "The city came in, the inspector, and there is a monitoring for the voice. We are even below the average of the rules."

Dearborn residents raise concerns about loudspeaker used by mosque for call to prayer A contentious battle is brewing in Dearborn, Michigan, over a mosque's use of an outdoor loudspeaker for its call to prayer.

I was curious about the "blasted" part and oh, look, Dearborn has a noise ordinance with a limit of 55dB from 10pm-7am: www.cbsnews.com/amp/detroit/...

Here is an actual article about the situation which (surprise surprise) sounds far less dire than Totally Unbiased Nonbigot Matt Walsh described:

"this could have been an email" except it costs the US taxpayers like twelve million dollars.

I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

not to speak to any other aspects of this case, but if the report is accurate that the assailant shot blindly into an unmarked ICE van, I don't think we can infer that "shooting immigrants" was their intention.
