  1. I'll take "phrases likely to get booked for 200, Alex"
  2. This should be a major news story, maybe it will be once the murderers become cabinet members
  3. Love the fallacy of using a single data point to discount a whole trend. Republican control of legislatures across the board from local to state to federal in every state is significantly more broad than their electoral support. They're getting barely more than 50% of the vote but control a supermajority of seats. That's fucked We need ranked choice voting for starters
  4. Bro do you even know what gerrymandering is?
  5. Thank goodness ICE got rid of this dangerous brown person

  8. DOGE going at it with firing over a thousand employees from various DOE offices, including the NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION President Donald Trump's administration has laid off between 1,200 and 2,000 employees at the Department of Energy (DOE), including staff from the nuclear security administration and the loans office, two sources familiar with the decision told Reuters. Democratic lawmakers confirmed to the outlet that the layoffs also impact workers at national laboratories, hydroelectric plants and Cold War-era nuclear sites. The DOE employs approximately 14,000 federal workers and oversees 95,000 contractors across various energy and security sectors. According to two sources, the layoffs followed the arrival of three representatives from billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the agency. One source revealed that approximately 325 employees have been dismissed from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which oversees the U.S. nuclear weapons fleet and works to secure radiological materials worldwide.
  9. Internet sleuths are pretty sure the collision was just aft of her starboard quarter elevator. Here's what she looks like when not damaged, impact area circled
  10. NTSB is doing a presser right now on initial findings, they're going to be publishing a full report too
  11. Buncha fucking tiny dicked incels acting like choads. God help us all, they represent the majority of Americans now whether we like it or not
  12. Weird - it's almost like running a school as a private equity owned business isn't condusive to learning and stability, or something
  13. Selling fewer than ever cars too! Or are they an AI company now?
  14. Gotta love when the ruling oligarch is referring to the citizens of America as the "parasite class". Shit, slashing NOAA is gonna fuck us six ways to Sunday when hurricane season hits https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trump-team-looks-to-drastically-cut-noaa-staff-and-budget/ DOGE paid em a visit last week.
  15. Hooray, our nextdoor neighbor state is no longer promoting vaccination! https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/louisiana-end-mass-vaccine-promotion-states-top-health-118807539 NEW ORLEANS -- The Louisiana Department of Health “will no longer promote mass vaccination” according to a Thursday memo written by the state's top health official and obtained by The Associated Press. A department spokesperson confirmed Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham had ordered his staff to stop engaging in media campaigns and community health fairs to encourage vaccinations, even as the state has experienced a surge in influenza. Abraham's announcement occurred the same day vaccine skepticRobert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in by the U.S. Senate to serve as President Donald Trump's health secretary. In a separate letter posted on the department's website, Louisiana's surgeon general decried “blanket government mandates” for vaccines and criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID-19 vaccination push. Individuals should make their own decisions about vaccinations, Abraham said.
  16. Brazen lawlessness. But hey like our republican friends loves to tell us, if there's no charges, there's no crime! Simple as.
  17. *They're And holy shit you're one dense mother fucker
  18. He also has a history of trying to get Zelensky to lie on his behalf to better his domestic political situation. Granted, that is moot because Trump is effectively a monarch now
  19. Unfortunately, the Kremlin has gained an extremely strong ally that will refill her coffers and unleash new death on Ukraine. Its us.
  20. I mean, they MIGHT actually be civil servants and give a shit about their mission, not just getting paid. Because in some cases it DOES fucking matter, ya know?
  21. Your vendetta against energy sources is always puzzling. If it's from a burned hydrocarbon or a solar panel, a watt is a watt. But then again you don't get your passive income from the sun shining or the wind blowing, so I can see why you find it distasteful. It funny how mad y'all get and then spin off into ad-hominem attacks when confronted with bad management. Keep up the good work, O&G finance bros. You've got the best years of your lives ahead of you, I'm sure.
  22. Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain that.
  23. hah crazy timing, I just posted in the Prosperity Guardian thread about this, since the Truman has been a centerpiece of that effort
  24. The CVN Harry S Truman collided with a bulk carrier at anchor near the Suez Canal, coming back from R&R
