How about actually RTFA first before you go off making such an ass of yourself next time? Nowhere did anyone blame the patients, except you.

Yeah, considering all the rules the current joke of a Supreme Court have recently rewritten handing the Oval Office way more power than it should ever have, I have to agree.

It’s not like you said “jizz”…

Progressives like myself don’t like him because he’s mostly just another corporate Democrat, but I have to admit that I can see Newsome taking up that mantle and being somewhat effective with the less extreme of the MAGAt base.
- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 3 days ago:
I tend to doubt it’s as different as you think. IMHO, the majority of people want good, but are clueless as to what exactly that looks like when it comes to more complex topics like managing the wide variety of people that make up a society. Understanding that usually requires a LOT more time and effort into reasoning things out than they’re willing/able to put in, anyway.
They therefore pick someone to trust who seems (read: cons them into believing) like they know “the truth” to do all their thinking for them. Those arrogant enough to portray themselves as such are almost always malignant personality types interested primarily in manipulating others to do their bidding in order to benefit themselves. They “know” everything, and either are exceedingly unlikely to admit to human failings such as not knowing something, or always have a ready excuse that puts blame upon their enemies for their failings.
They divide people up & pit them against one another to distract, ensure loyalty, and keep control.
Any of this sound familiar? It’s a pattern repeated among humans throughout history.

Evil always gets ahead because it’s willing to do anything to “win.” Good? Not so much.
The only reason Good gets control every so often is because Evil is too focused on “winning” & ultimately inadvertently destroys its own foundations in order to do so. Once it figures out how to avoid that, we’re really screwed.
The closest example of that I can think of is China’s current leader. I’ll grant many will somewhat rightly claim he’s done a lot of good over there, but he’s definitely accomplished a fair bit of it through some significant evils.

Put it back in the box, and return it to the store. Tell customer service it came like that if you’re in need of some amusement.

May someone use this to hijack all the Trump crypto, and teach the Cheeto buffoon a lesson.

Ozzie, that’s not what I meant when I said to go eat “the snack that smiles back!”

It was freshly made, so they couldn’t help but take a whiff of that delicious smell. The rest is history.

What kind of alien god is looking on from deep space in the upper right? I see two eyes, a mouth, and the dark shading varies just enough to look vaguely like a head.
I’m starting to think maybe I’ve had a few too many

I’m gonna assume that’s a hacked copy, bc a 40yo floppy disc still fully containing its original contents would be even more impressive.

Well, they’re not Republican or they’d have used Newt Gingrich for the first one, and the little girl from the Aliens movie in the second.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Hardest challenge is life under an irredeemably irrational government that’s becoming ever more unstable by the day, along with their supporters who are far too emotionally invested to ever look at themselves honestly enough to admit they were wrong.
- Comment on Golden Rule is flawed 2 weeks ago:
The only flaw is that it’s incomplete. It should say “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you were them.”

Haven’t RTFA yet, but I’m gonna go ahead out on a limb, and say this was one of those “if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it” scenarios.

Kinda hard to ignore them running/ruining the federal government. RFK Jr’s idiotic war on vaccines will affect us all. Then there’s the fact pretty much my entire family are MAGAts, so I’ve had to cut contact with them all as the lesser of two evils regarding my sanity.
