Nobody cares because Biden's not in charge anymore 🤷‍♂️

This is the kind of stuff I'd expect to hear from DPRK propaganda, not a WH spokesperson. But, here we are: "He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will." KCTV would be proud

"The document, known as an apostolic exhortation, said that care for the poor also meant “fighting against the structural causes of poverty.” Leo blamed “ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation” for deepening inequality in today's world."

I quote this incessantly. I love glimpses of intelligent Homer

How long will it take, and how many countries must it ruin, for the appeal of "running government like a business" to die?

Stephen Nemeth @iamnemeth.bsky.social · 17d

Yeah, Mr. Wishes-he-was-Hank-from-Breaking-Bad looked pretty inept. But that's par for the course for these wannabe commandos

Random thought: i think about the hors d'oeuvres i had at apsa at least once a day, it was that good.

Stephen Nemeth @iamnemeth.bsky.social · 18d

Yeah, i think I've learned in the past few years that the most common attribute of those that have (or seek) power is the lack of integrity and complete obsequiousness to power.

Yeah, I keep forgetting that we are not necessarily dealing with rational actors per se

Yeah, i just wonder how much more bloodletting can actually be done

How much leverage is this really? I would assume they are going to screw it up and hire a lot of these people back

Stephen Nemeth @iamnemeth.bsky.social · 19d

Well, now that he's resigned, it appears that he has now done everything to avoid addressing our state's abysmal education rankings.

Stephen Nemeth @iamnemeth.bsky.social · 19d

I hear ya!

Stephen Nemeth @iamnemeth.bsky.social · 20d

Ryan Walters will do anything, anything except address why Oklahoma is ranked #50 for public education

Agreed. A true blue wave or some sort of realignment would definitely help give this some staying power
