Well, not that shocked.

They covered the Epstein files and nobody had any consequences.

Failure? Pretty sure the oligarchy is getting exactly what they want.

I mean, maybe it’s technically “darker” the literal sense, but any unfinished concrete is going to scatter light differently than glossy blue paint. And I don’t have anything against cleaning and maintaining the pool. It’s normal maintenance that has to happen every so often.

But if this doesn’t look tacky as shit and make it harder to see the reflection, I’ll eat a hat.

A reflecting pool needs to be dark on the bottom. If it’s bright blue, too much light bounces off the bottom and overwhelms the reflection.

Literally nothing Trump does isn’t fucking stupid and wasteful.

There’s literally no reason to use these ever.

As was intended. Fascists see the brain drain as a victory, because stupid masses are easier to control.

Not that I’m criticizing the educators who leave. They are being forced out, and it’s entirely reasonable to abandon Texas.

That’s fair, and I agree it’s better to see dems doing anything, if only for the novelty of it.

I mean, it’s moderately encouraging to see Dems doing something to fight Trump, but Congress doesn’t have the authority to utilize the mechanisms in the 25th amendment to remove Trump. They can issue articles of impeachment (again), but there are too many conservative senators and representatives protecting Trump for that to be viable, either.

This bill won’t go anywhere, and even if it did pass, it wouldn’t have any effect.

Yep, impeachment is a (slightly) more viable strategy, but impossible without major Dem gains in the midterms. Like I’m not even sure there are enough Senate seats up for reelection.

That is a responsible and optimistic worlview, AdolphSchmitler.

“Idiots! You should pan fry the mirepoix in a little oil to soften them and get all the toasty flavor before you add it to the soup,” you say to the cannibal from inside the pot.

Welcome to the post-truth reality. Everyone everywhere is being disingenuous. Sincerity is a self-imposed handicap, holding yourself to a higher standard than the people who would subjugate you for fun and profit.

People who don’t care to learn, but want to have an opinion. Doesn’t matter the topic, sports, movies, business, politics, science, every asshole wants you to listen to their half-brained, malformed thought prions, and then insist that it’s disrespectful to point out flaws in their “reasoning.” I don’t mind people being disengaged. It’s a big world, and nobody is an expert in everything. But respect is earned, and being an expert entitles you to an opinion. Everyone else should shut the fuck up.

I have a slow drain so the shower ends up with a shallow puddle by the end. So, no, I don’t like standing in a puddle of my own pee.

But otherwise, pipes is pipes. No judgement here.

We have a shit load of laws designed to prevent fascism. They aren’t preventing fascism.

The point is that the ones who don’t know should know. That’s like the entire point of news. If the article keeps it vague, then people who are barely paying attention might think that an actual judge made a legal ruling based on the law. They might assume that a federal judge is non-partisan and independent.

Yeah, these articles shouldn’t say “a federal judge…” “Trump lackey Aileen Cannon has once again protected her masters.”

People are mad at you because you’re accurately describing reality.

Honestly, whether I agree with him or not, it’s refreshing to have a progressive leader actually attempting to be persuasive in his campaign, rather than just “Look how bad my opponent is! I promise to do all the things you like and none of the things you don’t like, depending on what those things are and the context of the decision.”
