Block them in phone, email, and any social media, stop talking to them, and do my goddamndest to stop thinking about them as well.

At age 46 I’m more smarter than them now than I ever used to be. They do literally 93% of things incorrectly, yet are convinced of the opposite, and that they are always the smartest people in the room.

Probably Definitely

Presumably this is someone we want in congress

If all these giant agricultural corporate concerns are so worried about money, which of course they are, maybe they should get their exorbitantly paid lobbyists to start pressuring their elected representatives to stop Trump from illegally implementing all these bullshit tariffs.

All these companies are gonna backtrack so hard on this AI fucking around when the find out part kicks in. And fuck them.

Given interest rates’ impact on the housing market, Trump has repeatedly demandedthat the Fed lower them. “You have cost the USA a fortune and continue to do so,” Trump told the central bank’s chair, Jerome Powell, in a handwritten note.

But Powell and other Fed officials argue that Trump’s tariffs have created ongoing economic uncertainty, especially around prices. Some consumers say they’ve already seen prices rise, and cutting rates risks fueling more inflation.

“It’s a risk we feel. As the people who are supposed to keep stable prices, we need to manage that risk,” Powell told the US Senate last month.

Bangup job so far, Powell you asshole. I’d like to see how your mindset changes after spending a few years working a crap job for $35K a year.

Not saying Trump isn’t also a colossal d-bag; but Powell’s entitled ass does not get a pass from me.

Yes. We know. We all know. I’m going to keep calling it out though. It’s the least I can do.

He has zero legal authority to be imposing the vast majority of these tariffs.

Sadly, Johnson can and will squash this, but I applaud Ro Khanna for introducing it.

If only this were somehow privileged.

A privileged resolution is a type of resolution that deals with the internal operations, rules, or constitutional duties of the House. Under House Rule IX, these can be brought directly to the floor by any member, without needing the Speaker’s approval.

Types of Privileged Resolutions in the U.S. House:

• Impeachment of a president or other civil officer
• Censure or reprimand of a House member
• Contempt of Congress (for defying subpoenas, etc.)
• Expulsion of a member (requires two-thirds vote)
• Challenges to the seating or election of a member
• Changes to the House rules
• Questions of privilege (issues affecting the dignity or functioning of the House)
• Resolutions of inquiry (demanding information from the executive branch)

I sincerely hope any of this makes a positive difference

It used to be that there were consequences for fuckery like this. Congressional hearings, firings, resignations, getting blackballed from employment, and even impeachments. Now, it’s just another day with this inept and evil administration, and everyone just shrugs their shoulders.

🤮

I know; it doesn’t make any sense.

Increased adderall frequency for me, or I’m falling asleep in an hour

We all do, yes

What? You don’t want bad actors hacking the bees and sending them inside your ears to cause fatal internal damage? Why are you against progress?!

Currently, I have a shitty old, no-frills refrigerator, and a shitty old zero frills electric stove. And you know what? The refrigerator keeps things cold so they stay fresh longer. The stove heats to a consistent temperature every time, so I always know what to expect, and my food turns out great. Frankly, it’s vastly superior to the Fancy Thermidor gas stove I used to use, whose temperature was always hotter than the sun, or ‘why the fuck is this taking so long?!’ And honestly, the fancy whatever brand stainless steel refrigerator I used to use, used to have moisture issues, maybe because of the fancy-schmancy built-in ice and water dispenser in the door, but stuff would go bad faster in there because it was always too moist. So I guess I could get something fancier, but I think it would actually be a downgrade in terms of performance, and the only purpose it would serve would be to make me feel extra fancy. Which isn’t nothing, but I think I’ll take the practical trade-off here.
