Elections are STATE things, right? Is he nationalizing elections?

You were a normal kid, a curious kid with a LOT of hormones.

Now, that thing you did with Aunt Peggy...

I just meant family, friends, a non-threatening person who was keeping things in check when you spin off a little bit too far.

It's a wild world, but sometimes not THAT wild.

Ahem. I'm not sure coffee accounts for all that.

Do you have outside eyes on you, helping you see if you're going too far sometimes? We can all use some perspective now and then

Because that was a pretty distant shore.

But BANKRUPTCY DOESN'T FIX IT. Biden gave us that.

I mean hell, it can't be helped. The colleges charged whatever because the government guaranteed the loans.

The banks approved the loans without any real credit check because the government guaranteed the loans.

People accepted the loans because they weren't counted against your credit rating and the repayment terms were incredibly flexible.

Now all that shit's out the window and hell's about to break loose.

• Colleges will shut down
• Banks will be insolvent.
• people will lose their life savings and their retirements.

This shit is getting very real.

But I thought the defense secretary said it didn't happen! It's a smear job!

It's another case of our government letting vulnerable, dangerous shit just sit there (like abortion legality based on a supreme Court ruling rather than a law), until someone did something exploiting that vulnerability and then it's all "OH NO! WHO COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED?"

Well mf, that was your job. Not mine. Yours.

...deciding how and to what degree legislation will be enforced, dealing with emergencies, waging wars, and in general fine-tuning policy choices in the implementation of broad statutes.

Yeah, that's not what we're seeing here.

Attempts to block such orders have been successful at times, when such orders either exceeded the authority of the president or could be better handled through legislation.

Sure as shootin', this is what's happening. Let's get blocking. Of course, there's the problem of a rogue presidency that doesn't obey court orders.

Say incompetence. INCOMPETENCE!

They are scared you'll see their incompetence. They don't care if you see their f**k ups. They don't care if you see their crimes. They don't care if you see their evil.

But they really don't want you to think they're incompetent. Which of course, they are.

Every time they fire somebody and they have to rehire them. INCOMPETENCE

Every time they say they're going to do something and it doesn't get done. INCOMPETENCE.

Oh, believe me, their egos are so fragile, they will pitch a fit.

I don't remember that. I never remember them being anything but poisonous.

They were always trying to "joke" their way into the front page, but their intention was always to crowd out opposing opinions.

Bad actors always use "free speech" and "tolerance" against their opponents to gain a foothold, and then use that foothold to leverage a pogrom.

Over and over again.

How could it be so wise and funny as well?

Unreasonable gives cops and judges a lot of leeway. Words like that should be illegal. If you can't pin it down, it can't be a law.

Boooooobs

God-Emperor is literally what they called him on r/thedonald

Deadname was X-avier?

Honestly, some people.

Oh, I definitely meant broke tires.

Me.

CORRECTION: You won't HEAR them complain.

It's amazing how well he's hitting a target he never heard of before.
