EXACTLY! That's why I'm turning my yard into a native habitat for all sorts of critters. I'm planting mushrooms, wildflowers, native shrubs and trees, ferns, etc. I've already noticed an uptick in the year and a half I've been doing it and maintenance is a breeze. Way easier than keeping up with grass and I love having some clover in the yard and the bees go nuts for it!

Our economy is just about fucked, so why not start a war? That's what we do, right?

What's fucking crazy is that this has been going on for a year; they found files last summer. And he's been a sitting rep this whole fucking time!

Edit: honestly, he's a huge piece of shit, besides the CSAM material, just unpleasant all the time. I know some folks at the State House and they hated him.

Well, I'm still happy that my grandfathered $7.99 plan from the GPM days still holds up, fully ad-free.

Crazy how the "fiscally responsible" Republicans still can't grasp money going in must be greater than money going out to decrease the deficit. There's no way out of this shit storm without raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. We also need a progressive capital gains tax, so that when billionaires get their dividends, they're taxed to hell. But what the fuck do I know.

There are only three times in American history, that I can find, that habeas corpus was suspended. The civil war, WWII, and right after 9/11. It should be noted that SCOTUS overturned the suspension after 9/11 when Bush wanted to detain and send people to Guantanamo without due process. So, there's some precedent as to when and how, the question will be, as it is ever increasingly, what is SCOTUS gonna do?

Oh, I'm well aware of that despicable school in the Upstate. That whole area is still riddled with prejudice.

Absolutely! We're still a bit away from being solely reliant, in the general sense, on renewables, but they're fantastic at grid supplimentation! We should be heavily investing in both, but much more in nuclear, as it has higher energy yield and is able to meet demand better. Having an EE degree has proven more stressful in recent years with the administrations not doing enough for energy demand in America. It's no small stretch to say, we are decades behind on demand and infrastructure. We've punted the ball so many times that it's a monumental feat to move quickly enough without a large investment in the grid, and even then lol

You're welcome! I have a Citadel connection, so I know more about the school's history than I ever cared to learn.

Edit: If I remember correctly, The Citadel was the last military school to admit women. Way to go, South Carolina!

I guess we're just skipping over the enormous responsibility that is charged to husbands by Paul in his letter to Ephesus, eh? Husbands are supposed to love their wives as Christ loves us. Intending that, husbands should be as blameless and self-sacrifical as Christ. But hey, we don't give a shit on making sure men do their part, right? The American Evangelical movement is just as bad as every other religions' zealots they are against. Just cherry picked bullshit with no regards for historical context, hermaneutics, or actually following Jesus' commands to better the world. It's all about power, baby!

The administration is too stupid to invest/subsidize nuclear energy to meet America's demand. We're fucked.

She wasn't even the first admitted, just the first to graduate

I have that exact one and love it!

How Trump supporters, a lot them I know hard-line McCarthyists, don't see the takeover of the US by Russia is fucking beyond me. But then again, it was never about Russia, it was always about authoritarianism.

"...give Democrats an opening..." Yeaaaahh, they surely won't squander this opportunity.

It seems this administration will be fought in the courts. I'm glad it turned out well today, but I'm wary of everything going to the courts. Some cases will be lost and irreparable harm will ensue.

Cool, do something about it. I'm so sick of these statements. Just performative theatre

This right here. My local station, radio and television, rely heavily on federal funding, because nobody in the south cares about it. I donate every month, but not everybody does.

I'd like to use this moment to say, the Wii U was one of my favorite consoles. The few games that REALLY utilized the second screen were incredible. The social aspect was one of the best, if not, THE BEST I've ever seen. Felt like such a slap in the face to see all the relaunches on the switch. I still have not purchased any re-release, except for Mariokart for tournament reasons.

That's the beauty of it all! Congress has to do something!
