Yeah, firefighters are in the same class as lifeguards. They’re protecting people from forces of nature, and don’t have any ideology that is central to their work other than “save lives”.

What, with like an auto-pen or something?

Not with that attitude

This is absolutely bullshit, but also half-assed cowardice. Like if you’re going to put dead people who cannot consent to the use of their image in your project, why not make Martin Luther King Jr the next T’challa in the MCU? Why not make Pope Benedict fight the mandelorian?

Hell yeah! America is now the number one exporter in highly qualified workers!

95% seemed low, but then I considered that many humans that exist today are infants and toddlers, but then I considered that many of them would certainly be better suited to be president of the United States of America, even if that is a violation of the constitution, and so now I’m not sure where I’m at and I’m scared and a little hungry.

I get that this is a farce, but I have no doubts that if it would make the Epstein stories go away for a while, Trump would absolutely send at least one of his sons to die in a completely unnecessary conflict.

Kidz Bop volume 1 launched an empire of children performing family friendly covers of pop songs that continues to weaken the fabric of humanity to this day.

Quick! Look it up on AltaVista!

Mr Beast. Can we please?

Nathan Hale: My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country.

Modern soldiers: Maybe can we not give our lives just to move the news away from our justice department hiding or destroying evidence of the president sexually assaulting a 13 year old?

Naive question, but would bit-flip also be a problem without the atmosphere to shield (some) radiation?

Not that he’s passing many laws now. The 119th congress has been the least productive congress maybe ever. Most of the shit he’s doing is just illegally pretending he has the authority to do the shit, then waiting until someone proves he can’t.

They probably will rule that the “emergency” is unconstitutional, but consider how long Trump got away with unconstitutional tariffs before SCOTUS tossed them out, and how long he would need to get away with fucking with election rules to get the election results he wants.

She also took the most aggressive and direct shot at Biden that I can recall during the primary with her criticism of Biden’s position on busing.

She didn’t come in prepared to have a nuanced conversation about private equity firm or hedge fund acquisitions of residential living spaces, so I’m not surprised that she tried to nope out of the conversation. There are thousands of topics I can’t hold up a conversation about, but I think it would be awesome for reporters to do a 15 seconds of fame rule in these cases. Just state “i’ve got nothing to contribute, but you have the next 15 seconds,” and then let them cook.

“I don’t think we’ve ever sort of lost the feeling that there isn’t a wolf at the door”.

This captures the current American experience perfectly.

I am?

I’m not opposed to it, but unless he (or others) can get a mass movement behind a third party candidate and we still don’t have rank choice, I’m probably voting for the ticket that is least likely to give Republicans power.

Damn. Was hoping this meant they wouldn’t measure approval ratings for presidents 88 years old or more, but nah, just more cowardly bullshit.
