Naive libertarian.

But you repeat yourself.

It feels like a part of that deregulation politicians keep going on about. Deregulation ruined the airlines and now they’re ruining our buttholes… when is enough enough?

Lol at the idea of gendered buttholes… like a dude burning down a California town celebrating his butthole’s gender reveal.

Awe… I like Arby’s. Their curly fries are easily on my top 10 best fastfood fries.

Nobody forced them to make risky business decisions.

Exactly… you want to make a nearly risk free investment? Try a long term bank deposit or invest in government bonds.

Awe… little Burrito. So cute.

Jeans, a t-shirt, unbuttoned long sleeve flannel, and crew shoes. I keep a hoodie in my desk just in case.

I work at a TV station, it’s 68°F (20°C) in here all year round.

You want a nearly risk free investment, I suggest a high interest bank deposit. No one “deserves” a return on mass mortgage speculation.

He’s already got my vote. He’s by zero means perfect, but I live in a swing state and cannot throw out “meh it’s terrible, but good enough considering” because it’s not perfect.

Here’s some things he could do to make “meh, it’s terrible but” into just “good”:

• Put any kind of pressure on Israel.
• Expand the Supreme Court.
• Executive order giving the NLRB Sectorial Bargaining at the Federal Level.
• Force the FCC to regulate data collection.
• Go back in time and allow the railroad workers to strike and threaten nationalization if the hedge funds that own the railroads don’t play ball.

Also, like as a joke, it’s just lazy. There are better and funnier ways to mock Trump and his allies. Going “her dur gayz” is hack.

I mean, it’s a bunch of Linux people and communists… dunno what you were expecting.

In Catholic school in the nineties and early 2000’s, we were all told that the sex abuse scandal was serious but that it was also “a small number of incidents.” That we needed to pray for the victims and the souls of the perpetrators.

Then I went to college. Come to find out not only was the child rape widespread, not only did the church actively hide monsters from legal scrutiny, not only was this all directly effecting the local arch diocese (not my school specifically, but church leaders were forced to quickly rename another high school when allegations against a dead bishop proved too numerous to ignore)… not only all that but that it’s still going on, just not in first world countries with robust networks of journalists and legal systems. That an alleged pedophile was (while I was in college) living in the Vatican, being directly sheltered from extradition by South American authorities.

I guess the lie was that it was all over. That it was a small problem. That the church was a safe place people could turn to. I left the church at 18 over it, became an atheist by 19, and that’s where I’m at now at 35.

Meal Team Six.

It could be actual suicide as well… many GOP party adjuncts and elected officials have been receiving death threats for not falling exactly in line with even Trump’s most vaguest of whims.

Me: “Tennessee, thank God… oh and the delivery driver wasn’t killed, that’s good too.”

Well, I never thought it was weird until now. My polling place is the local Jewish community center (I’m not Jewish). It’s not a synagogue or temple or anything, just like a big rec space with classrooms, a daycare, and admin offices. They have a summer camp every year and a food festival in the fall. It’s super convenient being like three blocks from my house. When I lived in a different part of town, I voted at an old folks home that I think was run by a church, but I’m not sure. There’s a public elementary school right down the street, but it’s much smaller than the community center with a lot less parking.

I was wondering the other day why I hadn’t really seen them this cycle.

Umm. Not really, it’s because Amtrak is involved now in Texas and the Build Back Better Act has sent money for several projects not just Houston to Dallas. Cali HSR, Las Vegas to LAX, Orlando to Tampa, Seatle-Tahcoma-Portland, and Atlanta to Charlotte all got funds. All these projects (with the exception of Cali) are using federal/private funds, so state governors can’t really pull the plug (Cali HSR is a constitutionally mandated project approved by the voters of the state… to use state funds).

That’s probably the thing conservatives are going to go after when they’re done banning birth control medication.
