Their machine spirits scream in agony each time their aging hands are forced into new positions.

Definitely a thing here, too. If you’re going to put together some crazy DIY workaround to a problem, you can say you’re going to MacGyver that shit and everyone knows exactly what you mean.

If only that applied to other public officials equally…

Man. I can’t imagine how someone could be such a complete and total piece of shit that they pose as disaster relief workers (I assume that’s what the military would normally be doing there) in the aftermath of a disaster just to steal from victims. Absolute human trash.

It is immediately impeachable and criminal, but none of the other impeachable and criminal stuff he’s done has gotten him inpeached or criminally charged, so why would this?

First half of the headline, I thought I was about to read about firefighters trying to disperse protestors. This is far better.

I could have sworn that it also included language that applied the tax if they leave the state, too, but even if that’s incorrect, who cares? Let them move. The more states that do something like this, the less places they’ll have as “safe havens” and if they move out of the country, cool, again, let them. It sends a clear message: If you won’t pay your share, we don’t want you here.

Once everyone collectively agrees that billionaires should pay their share, there will be nowhere left for them to run. It has to start somewhere.

To what end? The republicans have been trying to kill the USPS for a very long time.

He and his friends made gobs of money insider trading on oil prices, so there’s that.

If only they had voted for the candidates who wanted a strong social safety net, rather than the ones that wanted to fuck everyone who isn’t part of the 0.1%, maybe they wouldn’t have to worry now…

I mean, if he actually did it, he should absolutely be investigated and appropriate action taken, but like… this is ridiculous, right? It’s not just me?

Hate to tell you…

The worst part of this is that even if he is convicted and removed from the judiciary, Trump gets to pick his replacement, so it will not only not fix anything but will very likely make it worse.

That’s crazy talk, there’s no way that would work. Has even one country managed to pull that off?

What many folks do not realize is that the money that ‘comes from’ the federal government actually comes from ordinary citizens who pay taxes to support that government.

You know, she’s absolutely right. In fact, that also applies to congress’ salaries and benefits, so maybe we should cut those, too. After all, we wouldn’t want to take money from ordinary citizens who pay taxes and might not be able to afford to buy a congressperson.

That explains the wait-then-dismiss situation. On the other hand, I wonder if the person on trial actually did it or if they were pressured into a plea deal…

I do not have a lot of faith in our court system.

I’ve been summoned as a juror twice in >20 years of eligibility. They have a number you call when the date comes to see if you actually have to appear or not; the first time, I didn’t have to go at all. The second time, I did have to appear; I sat in a waiting room with about 20 other people for an hour, then we were all told we could go home.

Overall, shitty experience.

I had to google this, legitimately thought you were referring to a Pokemon or something. Some weird combination of Geodude and Psyduck, maybe.

Look, if I have to go bankrupt for visiting the hospital to make sure that all these “rainbow flag” groups can’t corrupt our youth, that’s what I’m going to do!

• Conservatives, probably

They’re just determined to not win the majority, aren’t they.
