Hoping the third party fractures the right is all you can hope for while we’re a first-past-the-post voting country. Any new party popular enough to displace a party will simply become the other second party and create the same mediocrity. Until then, it would just siphon votes from the closest two-party option.
The only way this gets fixed is by ranked choice or similar voting systems, that remove the tactical voting incentive.
He was also in South Park, and Rick & Morty. He had a great PR team considering what they were working with behind the scenes. They dressed him up real nice.
Then he fired them, because he didn’t like having to wear anything in public. Metaphorically-speaking.
I’m just glad they put the entire kebab with inedible skewer directly on it to save me time.
Yeah, I saw that. Seems like the bill is the bigger story though, to be honest. The bill is trying to Trojan horse a lot of worse things in.
Well, no, that wouldn’t work you see, because that would be lying.
I mean, there are two Rs in “strawberry.”
There’s also three Rs…but who’s counting?
Just the inevitable result when two thin-skinned narcissists are in the same room.
Ah, the grand circle of enshittification.
I’m game, but what? The Cronenbergian spending bill? That’s the trigger for this entire fight, doesn’t exactly put it under the radar.
It’s especially funny because Trump’s team’s best idea for de-escalation is a 1950s husband telling everyone their wife is just hysterical.
Republicans: The richest 0.01% doesn’t have enough of everyone’s money, and unfortunately someone is going to have to pay for that. Sorry, bottom 90%, but you can make do with less.
And cheer up - if you can’t pay for health care out of pocket, you can always just die.
Sure, some representatives are wondering. And look, there’s a tactical value in thinking about how to not push Musk back into Trump’s arms. Sure, think about those things.
But Musk is about as close to unforgivable as one can be.
316,000 excess deaths, mostly children, from his likely-drug-fueled, completely unnecessary DOGE-ing of USAID. 100+ deaths a minute still counting. And he did it because he can’t care enough about those lives to control his impulses enough to even think about what he is doing. Or putting Trump in the White House in the first place with his money, which by the way is the total yearly life-monetary value of roughly 5,000 people (using a 50k basic living salary for reference).
He can try to atone for his whole life (and should), but he won’t get close.
You’ve fallen for one of the classic blunders!
I suppose my post came off demeaning, but whether you’re homeless and excluded from access to basic human necessities, or a white collar office worker who is having a very bad digestive moment, there are defensible reasons why this may happen. That said, where there’s a choice: I think pooping in the unpopulated far corner of the subway platform is preferable if at all possible. That’s just like, my opinion, man.
You’re christened a real New Yorker when you see a guy urinating or defecating in a subway car, hopefully facing a set of doors “for privacy.”
Sounds inefficient, but if your goal is to create deep fear and trauma, it’s pretty darn efficient!
Careful, we can’t complain or they’ll replace them with someone even more incompetent!
Oracle is a surprising one. Larry Ellison is the Ur-right-wing techbro. I wish there was more about this.
Never have I saved a GIF so fast.
