Yep, and the “block everything” McConnell senate of Obama’s terms would have allowed that reform too. You could conceivably make that argument about Biden for 2 fucking years if not for Sinnema(sp?) and that chucklefuck from WV.

The Dems are feckless but the president can’t just decree shit. (well, unless you’re trump I guess)

A state governor just authorized vehicle ramming attacks against probably his own citizens. Disgusting and disgraceful.

Shaddap!

Wall-e was a single unit carrying on the task of thousands (tens, hundreds of thousands? We don’t know if others were still functioning or we’re global). He was doing the task he was built for. EVE’s task was completely different - visit the planet every so often and search for the sustainability of life. She did that as per her programming. Different tasks.

Ahem…

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Where, exactly?

There are fewer trans atheists in college sports than there are kids with measles in Texas. Guess which one they want people to focus on.

Also, what the fuck ever happened to “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”? You cannot tell me in good faith that the <gasp> ‘trans threat*’ is so great a crisis of inequity and unfairness that the right wing really gives a damn about that.

*sarcasm, people.

The current iteration of the GOP in the senate and congress resembles that of a drying jellyfish on a beach: spineless and worthless (no disrespect to actual dying jellyfish on the beach, who serve admirably in the food chain) . They will do whatever the fuck their god emperor tells them to do.

They confirmed RFK Jr. for fuck’s sake.

For what it’s worth, my congress cretin is loving polishing trump’s asshole and ceding away congressional oversight to the executive branch. At a town hall lady week, he said that the DOGE department was always DOGE, they just changed the acronym (wat?!) and it was always under the executive branch, not an independent federal agency.

They’re most likely only looking for email from other dot-gov addresses.

It’s the same across all the Midwest - Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas… I don’t even think the Dakotas were states during the Civil War, but there’s the loser-traitor flag all over across the upper Midwest.

He doesn’t care if Americans get hurt or suffer his batshit policies. His moronic base will support him even if they’re suffering; they’ll blame it on the brown people.

I’ve thought for a while that road patrol was the laziest form of policing. This is compounded with the supreme court codifying that cops don’t have to know the laws they are enforcing and thereby allowed to make up probable cause. Combine that with the “us vs. them” mentality that is both heavily promoted in training, and is the character trait drawn to police work, and it’s like a perfect storm of shitty outcomes.

I like the idea of getting rid of traffic cops and actually doing real police work. They’d have to hire smart people though.

I’ve encountered a few sites that restricted repeating or sequential characters. Of course told after failing the first creation attempt. Makes things like randomly generated passphrases fun to figure out. Particularly when their idea of “sequential” involves both in alpha/numerical order, but also adjacent spacing on the (assumed?) qwerty keyboard!

Pretty soon we’re going to be carrying cubes in our pockets

This thread is going to be used as exhibit #1 at our tribunals.

How could it have been forgotten?!

Hell yeah! Let’s ride!

Kind of a different feel, but: Fight Song - The Stanfields

Also, Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls and Creeping Death

Finally, the entire first Matrix Original Soundtrack

Edit: Gorillaz - Feel Good is tickling my brain, and there’s something about Foster the People’s Pumped Up Kicks but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea. And: Dope - Die Motherfucker Die

Yeah, I remember it as hooters too

That is so painfully accurate.
