I’m sorry I don’t remember the exact phrasing; it was quoted by a podaster anyhow. There was some sort of threat, based on the claim that they weren’t actually really fired.

They’re also half of mayonnaise,

More like 5-6%

You think our beef is beautiful, wait til you see our mutton 🤤🍆💦

I did absolutely no homework about tariffs

Yep, it’s this bit that really got me:

While Kennedy didn’t vote against Trump’s emergency tariff powers he criticized the lack of clarity on economic impacts.

Understandable for some hillbilly gop voter to complain like that, but a senator? It’s his job to make informed decisions!

And what are the chances he knew, and didn’t vote against it regardless? Assuming Signalgate shows us the average intelligence of the current government, I’d say 50/50.

I hope the lawsuits start raining in from everywhere, and not just against Meta.

a decision between paying $600 now, or waiting until June for the generic for only $150.

God-fucking-dammit this is all so wrong. My empathy.

We can’t even go refugee because we’re god-damned pariahs.

What? No, that’s not true.

Just yesterday I heard testimony from federal workers: they got fired (possibly illegally). They barely had enough time to let the anger subside, put up their feet and crack a beer, when they got another email from their former employer: the firing was a procedural error. You’re still working for us. Come back monday morning or else.

this country is really obsessed with eggs

I was thinking about this myself. I think it’s a breakfast staple even more than in other countries, and in larger quantities. And for many people it might be the most affordable source of animal protein? Until recently, that is.

Not blocked, but they’ll be subject to those very same tariffs. Unless Trumplon makes another eXeCuTiVe oRdEr

Me too; I found it through a youtuber debunking Elon Musk’s megalomaniac projects; fitting. It does get a bit boring in Season 2 though.

Thanks. It gets worse:

“That’s the purpose of it, and they’ve done a good job of it. But now I’m president.”

This is who Trump is. Thinks he is. Strongman. But alas, he’s fighting windmills. And by fighting them, he makes those peaceful windmills fight back. Which then retroactively justifies his paranoia that the world is against him? Stop the sanewashing. This person belongs in an asylum.

Systematically

It’s the sort of long standing horror show that nobody is surprised by anymore. My continued disgust at what Israel is doing cannot go any higher, nor does it change anything. We all knew this has been the ultimate goal for a loooooong time, and we all knew it was going to happen much sooner the moment Trump got elected again.

While everyone is flabbergasted by Trumplon’s shenanigans, China decides it’s a good time to ramp it up.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP repeatedly claims that the European Union was “formed in order to screw the United States”.

I thought I was immune to the insanity, but I’m flabbergasted again. Did he really say that?

Or Ronald Reagan.

Looking into how this asshole aquired his wealth, I palpably understand the phrase “too big to fail”. With some initial mom&dad money, he’s been failing since day zero yet getting continuously richer. One could say that failing (+windfall) is his business model.

Just 10 years ago people would’ve called any politician who said moronic stuff like this a sore loser. And every non-expert would see that he is actually talking about cheating himself. What happened? The sanewashing needs to stop.

Sounds like Trump has plans to make sure people like Susan Crawford don’t get elected in the future.

It’s one of their stated goals. They’ve been against making voting easier fror the disenfranchised since day one. Day zero actually. Before that. For decades. Maybe close to a century now.

😙👌

It’s not a stretch.

Q-Anon evolved from joking/trolling/shitposting/whatever_its_called on 4chan, some disinformation narratives share common roots with early internet satire.

I realise that’s not exactly what you meant, but I’m sure you see the common thread.
