She is literally a Russian asset, and now she's going to be our top intel official. We're fucked.

I stand enthusiastically corrected.

Yep. That would literally be just the first step. Then we would - in no particular order - need to:

• Pass an amendment specifically removing the presidential power to pardon, retroactive to January 20th, 2025 at noon Eastern time. All the criminals he released get locked back up again. The power to pardon would go to an independent commission from then on.
• Throw all of these bastards breaking our government into prison. For life. These are traitors to the country.
• Establish an independent task force to systematically uncover everything they've done, and reverse it or mitigate it.
• Dedicate trillions of dollars to the cleanup. Raise taxes on billionaires to fund it.
• Overturn Citizens United with another constitutional amendment.
• Impeach and replace six Justices (you know which ones) of the Supreme Court with new Justices that will immediately make bribery illegal again.
• Do away with the unconstitutional cap on representatives, and require one representative for every 580,000 people (the population of our least populous state).
• Do away with the electoral college.

And much more. None of this is likely to happen, of course. So... We're kinda boned as far as international relations are concerned.

"Like?"

No. It absolutely is a cult.

In the 1920's, Hitler's adoring fans behaved in much the same way, creating propaganda and art depicting him as a strong, self-sacrificing leader, a genius, and the country's savior. Watch old footage of his adoring sycophants at his numerous rallies, and the parallels to Trump's MAGA cult will be blatantly obvious.

It's a cult, and we're probably about two weeks away from an attempt to shove through some kind of equivalent to the Enabling Act.

The scary things is that that's hardly an exaggeration at all. People say shit like that in all seriousness, without an ounce of self-awareness.

Family of four. We probably go through 10 to-12 eggs a day much of the time. Scrambled eggs, French toast, homemade bread, cookies, pancakes, frittatas, huevos rancheros tacos... It adds up. I recently started buying the 18-egg packs because it's more cost-effective.

I am disgusted to live in a world where Joe Fucking Rogan is king-maker, and it's a legit political strategy to keep your opponent off his stupid podcast.

Thanks, I wasn't depressed enough, but that really did the trick!

Blatantly unconstitutional, and he knows it. But the point isn't to win on this issue, it's to move the Overton window a little more and to sow more chaos.

Got 2 birds stoned at once

Can you share the source for this image? This is fucking huge.

OK, that makes sense. Sadly, all of my family have been here for four generations or more. My wife has one slightly easier potential option: If her father claimed Irish citizenship and moved to Ireland, she could piggyback on his Irish citizenship and claim it for herself and our kids, and I'd be able to live there as her husband. But that's really a non-starter, since her father has health issues that preclude a big move like that.

Right now, we're focusing on Vancouver, B.C., because my oldest wants to go to college there, and it's not too far away from where we are now in the Pacific Northwest. If I can get my company to move me, that will make it a lot easier, as they have an office there and my job is 100% remote anyway. But until he finds out if he's accepted or not, we're in a frustrating hurry-up-and-wait mode.

Why is this weirdo so obsessed with the letter X?

Hey, I've been thinking about this for the last few days... How did you do it? How did you get out so fast? I've got a house, I've got pets, I've got roots here. Pulling up stakes is slow and time-consuming.

And do you have a work visa? Or are you a dual-citizen?

I'm more concerned about chown. If someone figures out how to chown the Constitution, we're fucked!

Jesus... This will directly and unequivocally shrink the economy. That money? It's paid to businesses for services. He just fucked our GDP.

And it's going to disproportionately affect red states, because those are the states that receive the most federal grants.

Yarrr!

That's the point. These actions make perfect sense... if the felon works for Putin.

I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

They shouldn't. All that will happen is those shit-hole states will complain that they didn't send more, no matter how many they send.
