that's definitely what direction we seem to be going in, but there is still a lot more government oversight that exists outside of this realm, and this is still a hypothetical. A not unlikely one, but still one nonetheless.

unfortunately we just don't really have any good options here. Everything is fucked, nothing we do is going to unfuck it.

how old do you think i am?

so if we're basing your logic off of this specific example, where the likelihood of finding that check is, let's say "approaching zero" to be generous. It would be safe to say that you assume the dems doing anything to appease your opinion of them is "at zero" or "furthering from zero" perhaps.

NATO destroyed asia? Aside from vietnam, which im not sure is in asia off the top of my head, which was also a war the US was personally involved in, im not sure what influence NATO has had outside of NATO member states. You know, the ones that actually matter.

congress will have abdicated it's role in either position, given the precedent being set by the trump admin.

You literally cannot win, you shutdown the government, the executive can engage in whatever means it, and the supreme court deem appropriate, you pass the funding, the funding is limited, directed, and you are still technically the one who authorized it.

At least in the case that dems pass the CR, the Congress literally authorized the funding, they would be the ones legally defining where money is spent. Whereas if the government was shutdown, and trump decides he can just "take over that role" it's entirely meaningless.

almost always makes the whole thing substantially worse. I've yet to see a case where it helps.

pretty much.

unless you force them to resign, somehow.

"fire these people" "no" "you're fired" "ok now you fire these people" "ok"

im not convinced this wasn't written by chatgpt 2.0 or something, to be honest, it's so dogshit that i cant believe that gerdes is this fucking stupid.

party of freedom and liberty baby, remember, it's the dems that are restricting it.

are you a furry though? Conveniently avoided that one.

And technically, i think a scalie would still count as a fursuit/fursona, it's just a weird offshoot of furry to refer to people who like scaled creatures instead, though i guess nothing stops you from calling it a scalesona/scalesuit, lol

In any case, we should all learn some sign language. Seriously, it’s useful to be able to communicate silently or just visually (e.g. Across a noisy room), plus it makes life way more inclusive for Deaf people.

that would probably count as roleplaying as an animal, and therefore, you must be abused by your parents, say hello to CPS. /s

unlikely, though im sure they would push MORE legislation in the future based on the ideas of this bill specifically. It's just written so poorly that's catching strays from every conceivable direction, because most republican legislation is batshit insane these days.

i don't even think it was a litterbox even, it was just litter in a bag, or a bucket. That was it. Someone then probably made the joke, somewhere online, 4chan or something, that it was litterboxes, and furries, because haha funny, look how stupid everything is, and then it exploded.

Like I do therapy and I talk to teenagers regularly because teenagers need mental health support, obviously. And sometimes they’ll bring up shit like this: “my school installed a litter box because of these woke kids”

this is literally just how fascism works btw.

Step 1: lie, make it as preposterous as you can

Step 2: if you aren't called out, further it, legitimize it, make it real, gaslight people into believing it ACTUALLY happened.

Step 3: If you are called out, downplay it, gaslight the other party, it's such a preposterous claim that it couldn't possibly be fabricated, otherwise why would anybody talk about it, it's so easy to immediately disprove, surely you must be wrong if you haven't already seen the proof, i mean everybody, EVERYBODY is talking about it? Haven't you seen it? Would be a shame if you got caught up in the legislation (or similar legislation) yourself wouldn't it?

Step 4: win.

how about one that’s from multiple independent sources and not from a fox opinion piece or personal blog”

and oops it isnt actually proof its just a headline because the article debunks it immediately.

troll them, troll them relentlessly, and this is coming from a furry, this shit is fucking hilarious.

The more they live outside of reality, the harder it becomes for them to exist. The quick the fall, and the harder they fail.

I had some gomer on the Denver Post forums that kept insisting it was not only a thing, but an epidemic.

ask him where video footage of it happening is, everyone in school has a phone, everyone in school has a camera, if there ARE litterboxes in bathrooms, there WILL be footage of it, and LOTS of it.
