  1. Who could have guessed that "they're eating cats and dogs" and "your children will come home from school a different gender" would be a more resonant message than "we will protect medicare/medicaid and social security"? Those are not serious ideas or messages. How do you reason with a person living a completely different reality?
  2. Russia is certainly enjoying the carnage (Translated headline) Russia gloats over Trump's tariffs: "Our country will become a great superpower and Trump will help with that"
  3. To MAGA, the greatest sin is to question the Imperial Presidency. Whatever Dear Leader says MUST be the truth.
  4. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca4.178258/gov.uscourts.ca4.178258.13.0_1.pdf 4th Circuit of Appeals denies the trumpco request for an immediate administrative stay, and affirms the order to return the plaintiff to the US by no later than 11:59 PM April 7, 2025. come get your flowers @futureman and @ChickenSandwich, yall were hella jazzed about all these Venezuelans getting blackbagged back in February.
  5. I don't think the tariff action is gonna slow down. This is from 30 minutes ago:
  6. Republicans want to turn our military into the russian armed forces. They've been slobbering overthem for fuckin' years. See: ted cruz drooling over their ultramasculine propaganda and criticising our "WOKE!!!" servicemembers.
  7. That dead cat sure is bouncing fast

  9. That's just classic shitbird executive bully stuff. Really nice. America is FINALLY being ran like a Fortune-500 business
  10. We've been looking for our next home in Houston for some time now, we just put an offer in last night on a place we really like and was under our budget even. Only downside is the sellers are aggy /s Last time we closed on a house was 4/20/2020 and oil was negative. I wonder what new economic calamaty will be ongoing while we close on this one lol
  11. What's the software support like for windows on ARM? I was worried there would be poor library compatability
  12. You just KNOW they're raking in the big bucks with their publishing business
  13. Please, in this house we prefer to call it "rugged individualism" or "libertarianism"
  14. Hey man, it's gonna be a punchy week/month/year/decade.
  15. I doubt there will be any course changes in the next week. Trump has been saying since before the election this was the plan. Dude has tied us all to the mast. What's so crazy about this is all the useful idiots that didn't believe he would go through with it. "If" there's gonna be tariffs, right @Incredulity?
  16. Yeah those people are just chattel and property to be traded around anyways right? What a horrible analogy to use.
  17. Oh and a bunch the people sent to the El Salvadorian gulag to be tortured and worked in a labor camp (which is explicitly unconstitutional) didn't even have a goddamn criminal record. The man pictured was deported for his tattoos that said "mom" and "dad"
  18. Thoughts and prayers to clapclapclap
  19. The showdown between trump and the judicial branch is set https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/shocks-the-conscience-judge-rips-trump-administration-for-grievous-error-in-deporting-father-with-protected-legal-status-doubles-down-on-order-to-return-him/ U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis on Sunday issued a 22-page opinion saying she would not back off from forcing the Department of Homeland Security and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to return Garcia, a protected citizen deported on March 15, to U.S. soil after ordering the government to do so Friday. The Justice Department filed an emergency motion to stay Xinis’ preliminary injunction on Saturday with the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals and lower court, “given the urgency of harms to the government,” the DOJ filings said. They called Xinis’ order “indefensible” and impossible to carry out on account of where he’s being held. ... “Surely, Defendants do not mean to suggest that they have wholesale erased the substantive and procedural protections of the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) in one fell swoop by dropping those individuals in [the prion] without recourse,” Xinis wrote. “Instead, the record reflects that Defendants have ‘outsource[d] part of the [United States’] prison system. Thus, just as in any other contract facility, Defendants can and do maintain the power to secure and transport their detainees, Abrego Garcia included.”
  20. Hat tip to atomheart for the visual, but this shit sure looks a lot like black Monday Edit: actually with the new DEI rules, they'll probably call it something other than "black" Monday
  21. Blowing out the match doesn't help much once the house is already burning
  22. Reuters has reporting on this too https://www.reuters.com/world/us/kennedy-travel-texas-after-second-measles-related-death-axios-reports-2025-04-06/ "It is important to note that the child was not vaccinated against measles and had no known underlying health conditions. This unfortunate event underscores the importance of vaccination," the hospital spokesperson said. He did not give further details. The New York Times reported that the latest victim was an 8-year-old girl, who died of "measles pulmonary failure," making her the second confirmed U.S. measles death in the past decade. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the death or Kennedy's planned trip. Kennedy's trip was arranged after he was informed of the death, according to Axios, which first reported the news. NBC News said Kennedy planned to attend the child's funeral scheduled for Sunday. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, said in his immediate response to the first measles death in February that such outbreaks are commonplace.
