Now we are assuming kids will never need to compose a basic sentence so we are "teaching" them to use AI to do their writing for them. Which means doing their thinking for them.

Soon enough, 90% of humanity will return to operational illiteracy and innumeracy. Just as our Lords and Masters desire.

We have accepted everyone "keyboards" now, so students are barely taught to hand write anything, and certainly haven't a clue what script is. We have assumed everyone has access to computers to do their math, so we've mostly reverted to teaching kids "math tricks" instead of functional math.

Wonderful that Hammer, known for delightfully cheesy horror movies, actually made a somewhat serious film starring Angela Lansbury, Elliot Gould, Cybil Shepherd, and Herbert Lom.

Sadly, this film was mostly their swan song as it got quite unjustly savaged in theaters.

Witches had a moral duty to release their stolen penises into the wild to let them run free as God intended.

You are all missing the point. Mike Johnson has not initiated a shut down. He has dissolved Congress and has no plans on ever seating it again.

Claiming he will only restart the government if Democrats capitulate utterly as a rubber stamp for the GOP is the same as saying Congress no longer exists.

Journos: Nobody told us doing puff pieces about Donald Trump because he was so much more fun than Harris would lead to a fascist dictatorship that would fuck up our jobs.

Everyone who told them that: We literally told you this would happen.

Journos: Hey! We're the ones who do the news, not you.

Mike Johnson has dissolved Congress and has no intention of ever seating it again.

There is no Constitutional path in this country.

The oligarchy is stripping the world of value and, very soon, all the money in the world will have no useful value. When it costs $100,000 to buy lunch, a trillion dollar fortune is meaningless.

The greed heads are eating their own feet and calling themselves geniuses for doing it.

Just in time for Trump to so damage the dollar it collapses into free fall. The dollar will not be the world reserve currency for much longer as Trump trashes our nation's reliability and security every second of every day.

Soon, the dollar will be as secure as the Italian Lira after WWII.

"Congress" is too busy protecting pedophiles and abdicating its Constitutionally-mandated responsibilities.

It's pretty clear Mike Johnson plans on never seating Congress ever again.

Because Trump has zero functional education, thinks "aluminum" means we're injecting children with soda cans, and installed an insane jackass to lead the healthcare system.

Aluminum salts are used as adjuvants to boost immune response to vaccines, and have been used in vaccines for decades.

We're not bailing out shit in Argentina.

We're "bailing out" billionaire American investors who bought Argentinian debt and are looking at losing tons of money if Trump does not illegally misappropriate taxpayer funds to ensure the American hyper rich can never lose money on a bet.

Tell me again how Trump is "God's chosen one."

And ask yourself what the right would do is Democrats were harassing Christians in their churches or shooting Christian ministers in the head.

Trump is using fake christianism the way Hitler did. He is playing the NAZI playbook to the letter.

It's the typical conservative "youthful indiscretion" of a 45 year-old dodge.

Meanwhile, 12 year-old girls make great tradwives for 60 year-old GOP pedos and 13 year-old black children need to be "tried as adults" for stealing a pack of gum.

Scorched earth for them, "god's" forgiveness for us.

Trump is literally criminally misappropriating them.

Such funds can only be appropriated and released by Congress.

But Mike Johnson has dissolved Congress so there is nothing to stop Trump who will steal every penny for himself.

Does anyone think Congress will ever sit again?

Trump can't help himself, he just blurts out top secret intel because he has no idea what opsec or any other security measure is.

He's a child who thinks being briefed on classified secrets is cool and he can't wait to tell everyone.

He is a clear and present danger to the United States.

Funny, because Kirk was shot by a republican, from a red state, in a red state, using a rifle he bought due to red state gun laws.

Also 75+% of all political terror in the US comes from the right.

What Bessent calls "terrorism" is Constitutionally protected free speech and disagreement with hm.

Visit the beautiful United States, see the lovli lakes and magnificent moose.

And get kidnapped, confined, tortured, and sold into slavery.

The tourist advertising all but writes itself.

Well, since Congress has utterly abdicated its advise and consent obligations, or that it is a co-equal branch of government and not the president's lap dog, the entire US treasury is, in fact, Trump's slush fund to steal/spend as he pleases.

Was anyone stupid enough to think this would not happen?

The signature trait of a pathologically fragile ego is the inability to accept the people you hate enough to torture, abuse, and even kill don't actually like you.

Conservatives are weirdo lunatics.

Won't someone think of the insurance company executives who only have one hundred-meter yacht? Only a single 900-room mansion? Only one private island built on a volcano with its own death ray?

What's a few million dead, bankrupt patients when facing such crushing, pitiable need?

The dumbass farmers will still get fucked. But their bankers will me made richer by taxpayer money.

The hilarious thing is a chunk of the "bailout" will come from the pockets of the farmers, themselves. It's taxpayer money. So they get double screwed.
