Well, it was from Trump, so it was a pretty hateful quote, to be fair

The fact that 42% would still approve is so mind blowingly depressing

I just can’t get around the fact that her initials spell magic the gathering

You sound surprised

Holding hat solemnly, looking down, nodding :“it’s what he would have wanted.”

I’d love for some kind of “social model of a great human” canonization process… A bit like the Nobel prize, something determined by a committee or something, but it would have to be people that were actual genuine fucking awesome humans.

I’m thinking Steve Irwin, Fred Rogers, etc…

You’re forgetting something: laws and constitutions don’t matter unless those in charge of enforcing it agree with it.

Enforcing laws, the Constitution, judgements from judges - all that is done by the executive.

When there’s a fascist corrupt executive function, you get selective enforcement and convenient ignoring of parts of the law, serving the double effect of 1) keeping the corrupt executive in power and in control and 2) discrediting the institutions, furthering the corruption.

Yay.

I think it was “Jeffrey Epstein: filthy rich” on Netflix

So, ummm… why did Trump have underaged girls working at his spa in the first place?

They’re interviewed in a documentary from a few years ago… And quoted again in the articles posted here yesterday… clearly some don’t ask don’t tell mentality folks…

Yar har, fiddle-dee-dee Do what you want cuz a pirate is free…

So what’s the leading theory on this guy? He was always horrible but we didn’t know? His brain turned to mush and Uber conservatism after the accident? Russia or whomever now have shit on him? He just turned super self interested and saw there’s more money in being a Trump lackey?

Wait, can you genuinely explain your comment? I mean in a meaningful nuanced way?

I want the unimaginable amount of harm Bimbo-Goebbeles is doing to be called out. She’s not just lying, she’s actively normalized institutional gaslighting, basically setting up the premise necessary for the public to have just enough doubt about the veracity of the horrific stuff they’ll hear about that it empowers the fascists to move on to more and more horrible deeds… Holy smokes this bunch is dangerous

So what’s the bigger picture “why” behind this? Why is it so very important to Uber conservatives that Israel be unchallenged as they shamelessly transition from legitimate fury to indefensible carnage?

What plastic duct? It’s a standard foil one, but had a break in a couple of spots and since we’re replacing it by a new one next week, we have a piece of tape on it… Am i referring to the wrong thing?

UPDATE thanks all for the comments, just a few clarifications and updates:

• all electrical work is work-in-progress, we’re finishing it up tomorrow, it’s still an active worksite. The old outlet and old bx wiring is being removed, we’ll only have the newer wiring (and of course all outletd will be in their gangboxes and covers will be on)

• the dryer vent will be changed and installed without sag when we finalize

• the 4" abs drain connects to the old one with a rubber fernco gasket, those do require hose clamps and they’re up to code (though the top clamp could be straightened!)

• the water lines are pex, they’re all good

• we don’t have a choice but to push the water up with the washer pump - the drain evacuates to the city sewer around hip level in that basement

The worries for me are really the 90° out of the sump pump and the other 90° into the drain column, shouldn’t that be a downward Y? And the double S p-trap, is it creating some risk?

For the record he also connected the sump pump pipe like this, with a 90° - shouldn’t it be a downward Y instead?
