Your daily reminder that if the GOP actually cared about the shutdown, they’d have Thune use the nuclear option… which he has already done 3X this year.

Yes, that’s what I was referring to.

And the best part is that Jesus is quoted as saying he *wasn’t* invalidating the OT.

It’s interesting because things like prohibiting abortion or LGBT+ equality are based on deliberate twisting/misinterpreting of the OT. But then when you point out other fucked up things the OT says, like genociding the amalekites or that slavery is ok, it’s “ jesus made the OT invalid.”

But… but… we need to buy bombs so we can illegally blow up random fishing boats!

Funny how these ancap experiments in South America never quite seem to pan out.

I feel like we could’ve saved time and just dumped the money straight into the billionaires’ pockets.

Good thing the DOJ isn’t wasting time prosecuting people Trump doesn’t like and can easily look into this…

House approves resolution honoring Charlie Kirk with dozens of Democrats opposed The House has passed a resolution honoring the late Charlie Kirk over significant Democratic opposition.

95 democrats in the House voted in favor of the resolution honoring Kirk.

I officially have no fucking clue how the stock market works.

I hope when you eventually get into Congress you keep it that way.

Your daily reminder that executive orders are not laws.

MTG Turns on Trump and Tells GOP to End the Shutdown The Georgia Republican said she does not believe that “vulnerable Americans should pay the price because of politics.”

Oh great, now Marjorie Taylor-Greene agrees with me.

Setting aside for a second how deer aged that is… what’s the deal with his weird obsession with Jeffries wearing a sombrero?

cf Jerry Seinfeld

Republicans can also pause/unpause the filibuster whenever they feel like it, so if they were truly interested in stopping the shutdown, they easily could.

Wanna know how I know?

Because they literally did so three weeks ago to confirm a slew of Trump aligned judges.

Anytime I burp I mouth it so it sounds like I’m saying “burlap”.

Yes that’s a deep dive.

And he borrowed that aesthetic from old German expressionist films from 1918-1930. Watch the original Cabinet of Dr Caligari and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.

The big stupid bill got a massive pile of cash for ICE. ICE will be fine.

The dems always could do the same. They just think they are “taking the high road” and don’t do it, while the gop doesn’t give a shit.

But… Charleston did want to govern Boston. The whole point of secession was that the south wanted to be able to make more states that allowed slavery - “expansion of slavery”. So Congress would remain split evenly. When Corwin and Crittenden failed to solve the expansion issue… secession.

I got it and flu shot last Thursday afternoon. Spent all day friday with a headache and slept a lot… and was still weirdly fatigued Saturday. Been fine since.

So Tylenol was invented in 1955.

Then the term “autism” was coined in 1912 by a Swiss doctor to label a series of symptoms he had observed; this was refined by other doctors until autism as we know it was largely defined around 1926.

Kinda feels like the “Tylenol causes autism” thing is BS.

They’re still fucking using disgraced ex-doctor Andrew Wakefield’s BS about taking the MMR vaccines separately. Wakefield made up that crap almost 30 years ago so that he could get rich selling those vaccines separately.

WWTHD?

When I went thru boot camp, they did teach us about it.

“I was just following orders” didn’t work at Nuremberg and having a piece of paper probably won’t change that.

That's my point. I'm expecting Trump's decree to be worded very loosely so that it can be applied to just about anyone who isn't a hardcore MAGA cultist.

if you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that this was in Virginia, not New York.
