I made his lamb shank recipe a couple years ago and it was incredibly flavorful. About as subtle as a brick to the head, but still insanely delicious.

As a friend of mine says: “The American Bar Association is a very agree-to-disagree organization. If the ABA is warning about an imminent collapse of the rule of law, we are down to studs and wires.”

They would have literally set the White House on fire using pipe bombs.

I have a homeassistant instance connected to a no-name Z-wave thermostat. It’s been flawless for almost 10 years.

Well, no shit. Who actually expected the Israelis to stop killing people?

Yeah, that was my point.

I agree that there is genocide happening. I also understand that the guy who got elected is actively in favor of it and wouldn’t lift a finger to stop it if everyone in the country begged him, while the person who lost was trying to balance millions of conflicting priorities (and sadly those dying are not the top priorities) and the result isn’t what I want. There are other things to consider after you realize you’re not going to get what you want.

Maybe some of those people who he’s not popular with should have fucking voted.

Every single loan forgiven was one that was always supposed to have been forgiven under the terms that existed at the time they were taken out. Biden followed the existing law.

Yet somehow we went 4 years before (and will go another 4 years) without any loans being forgiven. I don’t get how your argument supports your Biden Bad narrative. I understand that he wasn’t able to forgive more loans without breaking the law. Is that what you want, a president that breaks the law to uphold his campaign promises? Because, if so, I’ve got great news for you!

No. It took literal decades to get those initiatives in place. They were implemented veeerry slowly and only because laws were passed.

He did it better the second time around.

The first time looked a little awkward (though definitely recognizable as a Nazi salute.) The second one was spot on.

Fascism. That’s what’s going on.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Trump promise that was actually achievable.

Agreed.

The people who apply for permits are the ones who’ll obey the law.

I guess that means that permits are not an effective deterrent and that we should just ban guns altogether.

I started watching Scavengers Reign recently on a suggestion from a friend. I normally don’t go for animated shows, but this one is really enjoyable for me. Calm & explorative.

Trump: Ok, how about Ukraine declares unconditional surrender and Zelensky is hung in Red Square.
Putin: No, not got good enough.

I’ve seen some witty remarks from him over the years. One of my favorites was when Republicans wanted to make it illegal to burn THE FLAG (gasp). Schumer was quoted something like: “I wish these people cared as much about what the symbol represents as much as the symbol itself.”
