The Teamsters president is conflating Democratic refusal to support a blanket national right to strike with continued Republican support for union busting efforts that take away worker's rights and fund unions under the guise of an illusory "right to work," and does not actually guarantee a job or anything or the sort.

It's a tortured, strange, apples to oranges comparison so he can "both sides" the issue even though only one side is an existential threat to worker's rights and the concept of unions. It's a helluva position to take as the president of a union.

The German immigrants are eating our Schnitzel dogs!!?

An impasta because I'm a human bean.

So Biden could order the army to attack the USSC? He just has to declare it officially like Michael Scott?

I joke, but it's a dark, dark day for this country and the rule of law.

The court was already packed with activist judges appointed under suspicious or hypocritical circumstances who then lied to Congress during their confirmations about their deference to precedent on a host of issues only to the engage in a massive power grab from Congress. Subsequent action to rebalance the court is not court packing.

Wake me up if you've heard this one before: A president/PM/etc. who would face massive consequences for his criminality if he were not president holds an entire country politically hostage by giving special extra rights to religious fundamentalists.

Why face consequences for behavior someone else noticed?

Call Bobloblaw now!

For anyone confused about the MAGA-ese: Failure to make payments under Bankruptcy and repo man coming for what's due = federal government repressing muh rights

It's embarrassing how, if you say the magic words, the MAGA brain shuts down and just becomes compliant with anything.

Yeah, I've already moved most of machines over to various Linux distro because of Windows bloat, spying, ads, etc. For the one windows box I keep, Ameliorated Windows 10 has been treating me pretty well as it seems to strip out most of the crap that keeps getting grafted on to drive shareholder value or whatever.

Left anywhere else: "Bootlickers."

Yes because there are certain areas where paid actors, including bots, overwhelm any organic discussion. I have discussions about stuff like that in private chats with people I actually know.

The original company is not.

On February 13, 1996, Atari agreed to merge with JTS Inc., a short-lived maker of hard disk drives, in a reverse takeover to form JTS Corporation.[4][2] The reverse merger was completed on July 30, 1996.[1] Atari's role in the new company largely became a holder for most of its properties. Most of Atari's staff members were either dismissed or resigned, and its Atari Interactive division was quickly shut down,[27] with the remainder of its employees being relocated to JTS's headquarters.[5][28] Consequently, the Atari name almost vanished from the consumer market.

On March 13, 1998, JTS Corporation sold the Atari name and assets to Hasbro Interactive for $5 million,[3] less than a fifth of what Warner Communications had paid 22 years earlier. The transaction primarily involved the brand and intellectual property rights, which Hasbro Interactive largely used as a brand name for retro game releases.[a][b]

On January 29, 2001, Hasbro Interactive was sold to Infogrames,[31] which renamed it Infogrames Interactive and then the Atari Interactive name in 2003. The present day Atari Interactive, through Atari SA, continues to hold and license all Atari trademarks as well as produce many new games, some based on Atari's original properties, to this day.

It's like Pleasantville, but in reverse and it's a horror film.

I guess he fits the kicker with an inferiority complex since he isn't a real football player.*

*All other kickers are real football players unless they hold similarly shitty views.

...and you just do that thing during stampede of wild elephants in Porky Pig's Russian estate between 3:55 and 4:00 pm on the Fourth of July during a hailstorm. Oh, and there needs to also be one baby zebra bringing up the rear.

Yup. By and large, the SEO industry is a cancer.

I know you were being metaphorical, but Tommy Tuberville nearly brings your scenario to life. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't real life.

Purity-based movements that use hate as a weapon inevitably end in circular firing squads.
