approved by gop politicians

…and a shocking number of democratic ones. It SHOULD have been a party lines vote. But Democratic politicians did what they always do: extend an olive branch while they’re in the process of actively getting fucked over, and then portray theatrical shock and dismay when entirely predictable consequences issue from the situation.

Genuinely, I have a very hard time believing the Democratic Party and its leadership isn’t just controlled opposition at this point. They’re so consistently feckless and ineffective - and have been for so long - that it’s got to be intentional at some level.

The Acadian Union (or whatever New England and the tri-state area become) should be pretty cool too.

And SpaceX just got that massive zero-bid contract for the immensely idiotic Pyrite Fishbowl project.

We don’t need more ballistic missile defense. The most urgent disruptive threat to modern IADS is very obviously drone swarms - but that’s not as flashy, so let’s ignore it for now I guess.

I think it’s a nonzero, albeit extremely small, possibility at this point

I’m low key waiting for some republican chucklefuck from arkansas or some shit to propose reintroducing the three fifths compromise for immigrants.

He did, in fact.

So that’s actually a subtopic of WW2 that I haven’t dug into much - I know a bunch of the general economic context, but not the fiscal policies they were using to support their aims. Did the Nazis just issue shitloads of bonds and then say “yeah we’ll figure out the bill later, nbd”, or what?

You must be fun at parties

lol wow, so that’s where Tom Clancy got that plot point for Without Remorse

Pretty soon they’re gonna need some level 4 plates to protect their narrow house majority

Lmao no fucking way, really?

You could ask ChatGPT, but that would be cheetahing

Nbd just rebrand it as a dynamic fire test ezpz

To be fair, it is understandable that a tropical dingdong would jump to the wrong conclusion there.

Oh, bless your heart. You think Congress is going to do anything?

Which Democratic senators would those be? I know the answer. But I want you to find it too, and realize why your comment is nonsense.

Part of effectively fighting this shit and holding Democratic politicians accountable is understanding at a tactical level when there’s even a fight to fight. This isn’t that. Lambasting them for a situation that didn’t actually happen (and I do mean this situation, not the others in which they did vote as you described) saps the power from criticism of situations that DID actually happen.

It’s ok, we’ll just tow it outside the environment
