In his wilted psyche, he thinks he’s still campaigning against Biden. Hasn’t realized yet that Biden is no longer a threat to him. Eventually he’ll be back to full-on Obamabashing.

It would suck to watch Coast Guard service members, TSA agents, National Parks rangers, Air Traffic Controllers, and others go without paychecks again like they did in 2018-19. I recognize back-pay was distributed after the shutdown ended, but it really sucked to watch members of the US military wonder when they’d see their paychecks again while resorting to on-base community food banks in the interim.

Since repubs have majority in both chambers, why do D votes matter at all? The only way D’s can disrupt the bill is a filibuster in the senate, right? What am I missing?

Edit: I googled. the measure will require Democratic support in the GOP-controlled upper chamber, where 60 votes are needed for passage, and some Democrats have held their cards close to their vest.

No way, a horrible person admits they probably might do something horrible after establishing a strong track record of doing horrible things?! I am SHOCKED. Who could have seen this horrible administration known for doing horrible things doing something horrible like this?

I only realize they don’t give a shit about how they sound when it comes to constituents.

Holy savior anointed and appointed by a unilateral agreement between God and Satan resulting from negotiations mediated by the prophet Mohammed, which took place in Vishnu’s palace. The after-party occurred in downtown Orlando at Zeus’s Bar & Grill, which is well known for its diverse deitary offerings.

Good points. Thanks for the education and setting me straight! I love civil discourse :)

Guess I’m pretty ignorant about homeopathy. I was just thinking about it as incorporating a bunch of adaptogenic herbs in teas and dietary supplements and maybe some harmless habitat adjustments. I don’t know much beyond that, but was trying to figure out how mutually exclusive the two approaches toward healing really were. I wasn’t advocating for homeopathy, but trying to pose an argument that a homeopathic person might still be able to embrace pharmacological methods as well.

“Trans immigrants are forcing dogs to transition to match their owners’ gender and then they’re eating them and it’s happening in every blue state and tariffs are the only way to fight it”

Edit: other lemmers have educated me. Thanks for sharing your opinions and knowledge. Homeopathy <> holistic. Homeopathy is a stupid pseudoscience scam. Holistic is good. Original comment below being retained for context.

I hate how binary it is. A homeopathic or holistic view of a healthy lifestyle and body doesn’t mean someone can’t also accept some of the modern miracles of medical science, like providing weapons-grade intel about a deadly pathogen to your body’s chief defensive forces without forcing it to fight that foe to the death in a cage match. I’m all for integrating herbs in my diet and…idk, binaural therapy and soft lighting and whatever (not crystals, except for lookin’ and touchin’ because they’re just neat and pretty), but those are just nice maintenance in day to day existence. If there’s a low risk way to clue in my T and B cells without feeling like shit, possibly sickening others, and maybe even dying or being scarred/deformed, then sign me up!

At least the bag of frozen shrimp smells better than he does.

Thanks, yes, that’s the 3 second summary. Lots of foreign aid never does anything for the intended recipients and can actually prolong their suffering and deprive them of meaningful work while keeping the POS small coalition ruling class in power. It basically provides a free pass for the shitheads to keep them in power and is a way to buy loyalty to policies beneficial for the lending nation, but not for the recipient nation.

I didn’t…sorry. I’ll delete my comments.

Not really. It’s easy enough to find at the library, Libby, or PDF via Google search. Probably even archive.org has it. My question was intended for the author, anyway. I still recommend everyone find and read that book, though.

Edit: sorry for being snippy. I haven’t eaten in 42 hours and I was about to be sedated for a medical procedure and my blood sugar is low and the book itself is really worth a read and I was worried I wouldn’t do it justice with a brief rushed summary.

Curious to hear your thoughts about Chapter 7 of The Dictator’s Handbook by Bueno de Mesquita and Smith.

Thanks, yeah, that is what I meant. I’ve been without food for 40 hours to prep for a medical procedure, so my thought processes are a little janky today.

And there’s always the entitled dietcrat in every thread of life. I was just trying to help anyone who might be interested in paying less for something that can be a little like an egg AND have some more health benefits. Guess it is pretty hard to look up information online on how to make substitutions in a diet and gosh darn do stores make it almost impossible to find the necessary ingredients, tucked away in the produce department. But you do you and enjoy paying your higher prices and then whinging about it when you could be doing something else.

By the time the population at highest risk is able to vote, Trump and RFK Jr will be too old to be alive. Unless the voting-eligible parents make the obvious connection between MAGA policy and the well-being of their kids, there won’t be any repercussions to the ruling elite for sick and dead children in rural Texas. Based on shit I saw along rural roads and on FB before I completely abandoned that platform, “Jesus has this,” so no need to worry, I guess.
