Don’t worry Donnie. We’re all dying just a little bit more each day.

Life: It’s terminal.

How many of them are the “It’s not a religion, it’s a personal relationship with Jesus,” types?

I’m on some text lists. There are definitely some people putting out feelers for Kamala. Got a couple requests for surveys about it.

Worth adding that “unemployment” in this context just means people who are claiming unemployment benefits, a things that runs out, and when they run out, they no longer are counted by it.

✋ This is where I’ve been for the past year and a half.

Watts was reportedly turned into police by a nurse. Of roughly 1,400 cases where people were criminalized for their pregnancies between 2006 and 2022, one in three cases were instigated by a medical professional, according to an analysis of the cases by the reproductive justice group Pregnancy Justice.

What a motherfucking bunch of evil assholes!

The trial that has taken place over the last 44 days has no jury, and Engoron will directly determine the final penalties that will be leveled against the Trump family and its company.

Totally makes sense to verbally attack the one person who will make the decision, right?

So this is what “free speech absolutism” looks like, eh?

“This decision does not set a precedent.”

Has there been a single move by Republicans that didn’t draw praise from Russian media since Trump came on scene? The Republican party needs to register as a foreign agent.

Headline should be “McCarthy denies baseless rumor-mongering.”

The Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act were some of the federal laws waived by DHS to make way for construction that will use funds from a congressional appropriation in 2019 for border wall construction.

Fucking hell.

Love that the lead picture is Evers himself.

The man was taken into custody for openly carrying a firearm in the Capitol, which is against the law, Warrick said. Weapons can be brought into the Capitol if they are concealed and the person has a valid permit. The man arrested did not have a concealed carry permit, Warrick said.

See, now, if he just concealed it and didn’t give the Capitol police reason to search him, he could have stayed out of trouble. Personally, I’d rather know who is carrying a gun than have to guess.

In this environment, semi-healthy is the best you’re gonna get.

PhRMA? So there is an actual Big Pharma?

New York Times examination of mass shootings showed that a quarter of 433 different active shooting events examined (25.4 percent) ended with the assailant taking their own life. An FBI analysis from 2014 placed the figure at a higher rate, with 40 percent of mass shooters dying by suicide.

Does this also take into account “suicide by cop”, botched suicide attempts, or getting cold feet over a planned suicide? That is, even if only a quarter end in the killer commiting suicide, there are still plenty others who go into the shooting without plans to survive.

Conservative politicians like Pence have long argued that the death penalty serves as an effective method of deterring crime. But Pence’s comments are not backed by scientific evidence — indeed, in states where the death penalty is used as a form of punishment for capital crimes, murder rates are actually higher than they are in states without the death penalty.

Seems to me you got a bit of a “hanged for a sheep as well as a lamb” situation. Once someone has already committed a capital offense, there’s little deterrent to commit more, especially if one believes it can keep them from getting caught (e.g. eliminating witnesses).

What the hell? Why provide those details at all if you aren’t going to make sure they’re accurate?

Dangerous is not the same as tough. When toughness is necessary, then weakness is the dangerous trait.

Trump doesn’t joke. He doesn’t know how to.

One of the weird things that sticks out to me from the Gingrich era is a David Letterman top 10 list. Top ten ways to mis-pronounce “Newt Gingrich”. One of them was “Neutered Lungfish”.

So every time Gingrich gets brought up, that’s what goes through my head. “Neutered Lungfish.”

So how does not getting food connect the people with social services?
