Goats! You get milk and you can sell your lawnmower!

Perfect solution. Everyone who wants milk just needs to have their own cow.

At the same time, striving for monopoly is the only way some segments can survive. An independent hospital is doomed, but a health system has leverage to get better reimbursement rates from insurance providers.

We have before.

The video on the website talks about hiding cards where someone could find them.

I find that terrifying.

If we can see it, then the far-right Nationalist Christians can see it.

People who would bomb a Planned Parenthood clinic would think nothing of producing fake abortion cards and drugging or murdering women trying to give themselves an abortion.

I’m imagining a card prepared with an overdose of Tylenol on the cards instead of misoprostol.

How do you guarantee that the card you’re using is legitimate?

The poll worker is the one who has been arrested. He sent the bomb threat to himself to try to make it look like the voter he had an altercation with sent it.

I agree. Most of the security theater is a complete waste, or worse, an effort to numb us to the ever-increasing destruction of our rights.

I knew a guy who was friends with a bunch of muslim assholes who ended up in prison for planning a terrorist attack.

He kept arguing that the FBI informant encouraged them and it wasn’t their fault.

My counter was: if the FBI sent someone to me talking about doing a terrorist attack in order to “catch” me, it wouldn’t work because I’d report the guy to the police. You know, because I’m not a terrorist.

I also suggested if they were dumb enough to be caught by the FBIs nefarious plot (while being in the country illegally), then they were really too stupid to live and they were probably better off in prison having someone else do their thinking for them.

Jackasses like them are fucking things up for all the other undocumented immigrants who just want to do jobs we don’t want for slave wages.

Honestly, I might have had more sympathy for them if they had someone sympathetic to argue their side. The guy I knew was a pain in the ass.

What bets? The article said “white supremacist ideology”.

No! I don’t want a computer making the decisions!

A judge can be merciful. A judge can have empathy and understanding.

By virtue of being a human being, a judge can understand what it means to be human.

Although the current state of the Supreme Court is demoralizing, it should be noted judges get second-guessed all the time through the appeal process.

I see the judicial system as one of those things that may be terrible, but is still better than every alternative, much like democracy.

If you want to replace people with computers, start with the CEOs and work down from there.

It was a John Birch Society talking point at one time. It was condemned as a communist conspiracy. Of course. Just like civil rights are a communist conspiracy.

Anyway. A few years ago I discovered that my home town newspaper had digitized all the old issues and made them searchable online. I decided to search for family members.

Found my dad mentioned in a report of a hearing on fluoridation. He was talking about it being a communist plot.

Edit:

I just listened to this episode of revisionist history recently. If you aren’t familiar with the beginnings of the shit show we’re living in, you might find it interesting and/or horrifying.

If you find out what happened, let me know, because I think it’s happening to me too.

Oh! Is that what that thing is? I still say he should get rid of it. It’s not doing him any favors.

It’s the ugly growth on his neck. If he would just get that removed, we’d all like him much more.

The Trumpublicans in the U.S. have access to independent reporting, yet they choose instead to limit themselves to lies that make them feel like they’re better than everyone else.

We have a 2020 Honda Civic, and the automatic breaking in that is absolutely fantastic. The closest I would say it gets to a false positive is when you’re following a car on the highway that takes an exit. When the car in front starts to slow after taking the exit, the Civic will sometimes slow a bit even though the other car isn’t right in front of us anymore. It’s a simple matter to push the accelerator to override.

Correct, unless you’re indigenous.

Really everyone came from somewhere else. If we all go back to where our most distant ancestors came from, that spot in Africa is going to be really crowded.

So Delta supports veteran suicide.

I’m surprised they don’t put that in their ads.

Will the state board stop an AG from arresting them?
