I am here for conversation, like humor, politics, etc. I am not here for a relationship, to trade pics, to go to another platform to "talk better"... plus, I am broke, so there you have it

It's urgent that we normalize trans people. The way to do it is easy just accept them in your life And that's easy to do too because they're regular people. If you're with me on this please repost thank you

as someone who lived in NJ during his pathetic corrupt scandal-filled time as Governor where he used state politics for petty revenge & extortion, Chris Christie can shove redemption up his ass

Same. And especially because the creator of Pepe was a lefty whose creation was defiled. I saw an interview with him that stayed with me, he was so sad about Pepe.

As long as that money wasn't for research and redevelopment of new weapons they can have all that money

vought's view is that the president is an elected dictator and lo and behold he is seizing outright the power of the purse

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Letting them go and bringing them back is not quite as simple as turning the light off and turning it back on Plus they're not bringing them all back and if you look at who they're bringing back and who they aren't you'll see what's really going on

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.
