I can’t tell if this is a bad optometrist joke or an autocorrect error and optometrist should have been optimist.

His notable guest list and controversies make it pretty clear where he was heading, or already was, ideology wise.

Republicans love dead kids, as long as they are born first.

Just book a room at Mar a lago and check the bathrooms.

And apparently some people don’t like reality, based on the downvote(s). But we don’t live in a fantasy Democratic-socialist republic with ranked choice voting and districts without gerrymandering and more than two political parties. We live in this current shithole hellscape called reality and the likelihood of AOC getting the nod or being leader of the DNC is less probable than the second coming. It would be very nice but it ain’t happening.

I completly agree with you. But…

The DNC would never endorse her and she would get a media blackout as an independent. Democrats would rather be irrelevant but rake in corpo money than pivot to anything progressive.

DOGE exists exactly as it needs to avoid all possible consequences while having all the power.

Somewhere in South America. Always wanted to go the Falklands. In reality I don’t have the money for that. So I’m here on this hell ride to the bitter end.

Or school supplies for the teachers. Even in the firmly middle-class area I live parents are always talking about teachers begging for supply donations. Pencils, pens, dry erase markers, markers, crayons, glue, even copy paper are frequently requested.

The SO and I drop stuff off a few times every school year to be distributed to classes that need it. It would be nice if my tax dollars AT LEAST made sure teachers had the supplies they need to do their job. But hopefully other people are doing the same thing, if they can.

Thirded.

Because money.

Efficiency. Everyone knows if we tax the wealthy then the economy would collapse because they would stop spending. Plus, billionaires employee entire accounting firms to do their taxes so there is no way they could be wrong. Its silly even looking at them.

Tesla benefits the most from the tariffs. There was an article about it a day or two ago.

A quick search shows rabies testing is $80 to ~$200. Given the cost and time a transplant takes I would say testing for rabies would be insignificant. But health insurance companies are assholes so they probably would not cover the cost due to the rarity of the disease. Cheaper for them to let people die and families sue.

For years my bank had overdraft off by default. At some point, in one of their ToS or User Agreement updates, they turned overdraft on for everyone and you had to go in to turn it off.

I’ve already got a nice hole dug in the backyard for the family to roll me into.

Probably depends on if the state has a Good Samaritan law and how it is worded. A quick search found me an article written by a criminal defense attorney in Phoenix, AZ and AZ’s law makes “injecting” yourself into a dangerous situation illegal.

Now there’s a judge that should be impeached.

At this point it is safe to assume anyone in government who aligns themselves with MAGA/Republicans is compromised or sympathetic to China and Russia.
