You can't rehabilitate someone who has no desire to be changed.

The whole Trump family is so infected with greed and so devoid of empathy, you'd sooner convince a flock of blue jays to take a vow of silence than get any one of them to see, much less admit, that they should change their ways.

If you've seen the pictures of some of them, it's pulling A LOT of weight...

That would be an ass chamber. Subtle difference, same suffocating result though.

I do agree with your sentiment that he should not be, though. Justice Roberts made one of the conceivably worst judgments of the modern era when he gave POTUS criminal immunity in office. It's appalling and utterly degraded the system of checks and balances.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

They don't want a debate, they want to claim superiority about a culture that they imagine they're contributing to. I would bet my life they couldn't list most of the trials and suffering that led to them being able to sit there like petulant little shits today.

"Ahaha, ahahaha, ending people's livelihoods and vital government programs FUNNY! He TERMINATOR!"

Can we get Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho in there instead? He'd be an improvement at this point.

SCOTUS has put him above the law in every regard as long as he's acting in "executive" capacity. Even the bullshit he pulls out of LaLaLand in EOs has to be retroactively challenged.

Only Congress and SCOTUS can effectively do anything to him now, and both appear to be filled with invertebrates.

She's talking about ER visits that ultimately end up getting paid by those programs when the person they treated can't afford it.

I'd love for them to show how illegal immigrants alone tally up to $28B, but you know how Republicans are with pesky things like math and evidence.

Despite claims that immigrants are accessing and draining public benefits, less than 1% of Medicaid’s budget is spent on hospital emergency care for noncitizen immigrants.

Yeah, funny enough the FBI is weaponizing investigations against people for writing "8647" in seashells on a beach, but people in a chat with quotes like "I'm ready to watch people burn now" and "Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber" are just having a fucking innocent teen giggle.

You mean signs like this, you insincere, brainless blond squakbox? How much do you think those cost???

Fuck, I'm so sick of listening to their idiotic rhetoric.

"Boys will be boys"

Right. What about all the rest of them? What about the well-above-20 year olds in that chat who were egging them on or even participating? Who got a kick out of racist, pro-Nazi, pro-violence commentary and did nothing to curb or moderate it?

Were they just being silly too, JD?

ICE just abducted a man in Portland in broad daylight with no charges, no violations, and presumably no warrant.

I hope he finds a great lawyer.

Still waiting for Trump to gift Alaska to Putin in exchange for a gold star and some cryptogrift.

House centipedes are docile and try to flee if they feel threatened, but if they get cornered they DO have venom that hurts about like a bee sting and they will use it.

Sounds like a slam dunk libel lawsuit for Jack Smith. Old ConDon may have immunity, but his fuckwit of a son does not.

It is, in a metaphorical sense.

But so help me god, if I ever get isekai'd to another world filled with magic and adventure and someone tries to send me back here...

Everyone you know gets pulled into the fantasy world where they can finally live out their dreams and overcome their physical limitations.

Your goal: DRAG THEIR ASSES BACK TO COLD HARD REALITY

"Next time someone asks me what Bluesky is like, I'll tell them it's completely filled with suffering, inconvenienced storytellers and comedians who characterize the entire site based on cherry picking a tiny handful of responses we could have just ignored like a fucking adult."

Paraphrase: [Not suffering or dying from treatable illness is only for those who do work I consider beneficial to society.]

They just keep saying it over and over in distinct-but-blatant terms. Mike Johnson and the GOP want people who aren't contributing to their satisfaction to suffer and die.

AH! It's been a hot minute since I've seen something new from The Oatmeal! Thank you for this gem!!!

Also let's not forget the irony that AI is converting prompts into piles of digital garbage at the expense of the environment and climate.

No offense, but this whole country suffers from the worst case of "memory hole"-ing I could possibly imagine. People don't even remember the insanities committed one month ago because of how many new ones his administration is heaping on us every day, much less one year or half a decade ago.
