She’s not his press secretary. It’s not your fault for thinking that though, given how much fucking time she spends in front of cameras defending trump. But that just helps you point even more. Why is half of this cabinet in the news dealing with scandals 24/7?

For the life of me, I can’t remember any cabinet member from this time last year except AG Garland and DOT secretary Buttigieg off the top of my head. I just looked it up and thought “oh yeah” when I saw Blinken and Yellen. I recognized Austin’s picture, but never would’ve been able to guess his name. I recognized nobody else.

Holy fuck, I miss having rational people in control. I was able to just deal with my own shit without worrying about total collapse. Fuck Biden and Harris for not taking the Israel concerns seriously enough, and fuck the people who withheld their vote over that to pave the way for what we have now. The options now seem to be basically either 1941 Germany or 476 Rome.

Didn’t he go on fox news and whine about how he and Patel have to work all day and they miss their families?

That’s fine. I’m worried about getting kidnapped by ice at customs on my way back in, so I’m not visiting anywhere for a bit. White US citizen born in NY btw, but that will hardly matter when they go after leftists or non trump voters or anybody who seems a little too “woke” for their liking.

“First they came for…” famously has several stanzas. None of us is safe from them.

They would do mental gymnastics to wave off dear leader fucking little girls, yes.

Would they forgive him for fucking little boys though?

So he lied? Can we just call a lie a lie? If not now, when?

Supporting the conservative party which seeks to undo progress and maintain the status quo as a form of “rebellion” is so goddamn typical of idiot kids. The elderly and young people agree on one general stance: “idk wtf you’re talking about and I absolutely don’t like it or want it.”

The shrink of our memories and attention spans will have been our undoing. It’s probably already over, and it’ll be another 50 years or so before people realize it. Idk if we can ever recover from all of this, so I’m just gonna drink and play video games between chores today instead of watching for current events.

It’s important to take breaks from the doom and gloom. We can take a day off from rearranging deck chairs once in a while. We owe it to ourselves.

They mean more “bored of life” than “bored in the moment”.

Used habitually, it can be a pacifying kind of drug. You’re unhappy with things, so you get stoned to get a little escape. If you didn’t have the out of that little escape, you might be more inclined to make choices and put in the work to make lasting changes.

On the other side, shrooms makes you uncomfortably confront the shit that you don’t like about yourself and neural pathways get a chance to reroute, so you can kinda give yourself the kick in your ass you need to see the problem and make changes.

Wanting Earth to have a future that includes humans is “woke”.
Earth will be fine. Half the species on Earth will not be fine.

Yeah, but trump will primary those who vote against it. Musk has nothing even remotely close to the level of loyal popularity that trump has. Redcaps would abandon every issue before they’d abandon trump. This threat from musk is pretty meaningless. If he actually wanted to move the needle, he’d spend his money on getting blue voters the resources they need to get to the polls or get mail-in ballots in those districts to flip the seat.
