“It puts the neoliberalism on its skin or it gets the fascism again.”

What I want to know is, where are the unions in all this? Unionization rates are high in the public sector, I would think they’d be fighting this shit tooth and nail.

Watch, Musk about to pull the Superman III “fractions of a penny” ploy on the Treasury.

The nurse mean girls are a unique bunch as it’s that special combination of mean girl with savior complex.

Strasserites with r/Murica characteristics

My theory is that HR is where mean girls from high school end up. It’s the one place in the professional world where catty petty gatekeeping, obfuscation, and manipulation of social pecking orders are a plus instead of making you a toxic pariah.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me

Preferably with some tasteful resonance and key tracking

Atheism, like with a lot of things, is fine as long as you don’t make it your whole personality.

And here I was hoping this was going to be a synthesizer meme

What kind of waffling bullshit is this? “We’re rescinding the memo that gives the executive order any weight but not the order itself”? That’s like withdrawing a lawsuit while saying you haven’t given up the financial damages claim.

Trump launches an invasion of Greenland but the planes all fall apart mid-flight and the troops end up as popsicles in the North Atlantic Ocean.

So what’s their planned enforcement mechanism for this? If states that have legalized abortion on the books simply say “we’re not directing our LEO to enforce this” like with legalized marijuana, what are they going to do? Send out the FBI agents they just fired for being the deep state?

Countless children soon regret that they have been mutilated

Transition regret is extremely low but whatever.

begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding.

Oh god, Vance wrote this didn’t he? This has got the stink of his bizzaro obsession with women not being “whole” unless they spit out a few babies (and good lord there’s a lot to unpack in why they felt it necessary to bring up breastfeeding).

Are they trying to make Trump look good?

That would be absolutely hilarious if all this results in Trump implicitly arguing that MMT is real.

Not likely with regards to individuals, but I could see state and local governments withholding tax dollars taken out of public employees’ checks from going to the feds.

DeepSeek and Destroy

I think the racist undertones come not so much in the explicit discussion of the crime rates, but rather in the the implicit assumption that a white person in the “bad neighborhood” will be more of a target for criminals that non-white people. It’s this obnoxious mindset that permeates everything in the burgerland crackkker brain. Despite their preferred positions in society and all the brutality their ancestors engaged in to give them that, they must always be the innocent victims that the Others have it out for.

Toxic pragmatism

I was thinking Trump-brand steaks
