Oh heaven forefend! Absolutely do not do that!!
Yes, but these distractions have consequences.
We just have to hope that the senate dems can stay focused on it.
Of course he is…
Yep and if you get sick, it’s YOUR fault and you are a morally unfit human and it’s GOOD you’re dying… that is their fucking sick, twisted, ideology.
After J.D.Vance missed the last set of talks when he couldn’t find Byzantium, I’m not optimistic. He’s heard there will be ottomans this time, though, so fingers crossed.
That sums up the MAHA philosophy concisely. “Healthy people don’t get sick!” (Because if they get sick, they are obviously not healthy. Q.E.D.) Total circular reasoning, but somehow it gets bought anyway.
Freeze peach, as you say…
It’s the veneer of rationality and “common sense”… As long as you don’t think about it for more than a second, it seems plausible. It also feeds the “us/them” dynamic of the modern world. It’s only “them” what get sick, not “healthy us”… Same with anything… poverty, being a victim of some kind of violence, etc… If we’re all individuals, and there is no society, anything bad that happens to an individual is “their fault”… It’s also a particular kind of religious reasoning brought to bear on secular world.
I feel like Seth Rogen should have called out Bezos and Zuckerberg, too.
Oh, they’ll be prepared for it alright. Recall how quickly the Patriot Act appeared as soon as the nation was in a panic over 9/11. For the most part the citizens didn’t learn from that lesson, but I guarantee the authoritarians did and they already have Patriot Act II: The Electric Chair Boogaloo waiting and ready to deploy as soon as people panic and start screaming “Do Something!”
Is this before or after Trump grants asylum to white refugees from Rhodesia?
I appreciate how you can spot the golfing breaks by the little plateaus on the chart.
He’s just there to steal our taxes and demoralize us all with his ugly fucking derp-ass face, so I guess Terrorists 1 US GOV 0.
Sure there is. You just go to Ceylon and turn left.
I can’t unsee it now…
Are you from Burma?
Yes, Siam.
Continues to be true:
*Though I’d qualify that more specifically to “weird, creepy old men.”
Almost certainly the Trump administration has some monstrous plans ready to go as soon as the right excuse comes up. However, this wave of terrorism won’t necessarily happen during this administration*, and it’s mostly going to be right-wing terrorism, which Republicans won’t want to react to or even acknowledge, but I also mean that any federal response (if any) will happen well after the wave has crashed over America, thanks to the loss of these kinds of federal programs and departments.
*Assuming the future holds anything other than continuations of this administration, something which I have to believe for my own sanity.
Unless he confesses to his crimes and names his accomplices I don’t care. Literally the only worthwhile thing he could do.
