“Pro-life” has never been about protecting life. It was always a means to control women.

1. Suck up to Donald Trump

That’s it. That’s the list. I guess hypothetically he’d need to be confirmed by the Senate, but what are they gonna do? Not rubber-stamp an appointment?

Hope it hurts.

That dipshit, Joe Wilson, is still in the House of Representatives. He was pissed because Obama said illegal immigrants wouldn’t benefit from the ACA.

His yelling at Obama was making political hay; scaremongering that “undeserving” people might get healthcare in the richest country in the history of the world.

I’ve been a bit obsessed with one of Cleopatra’s arias from Handel’s Giulio Cesare, Se pietà di me non senti. She’s bummed that she thinks her brother is going to have her killed.

Se pietà di me non senti giusto ciel io morirò.

Tu da’ pace a’ miei tormenti o quest’alma spirerò.

Just heaven, if you feel no pity for me, I shall die.

I shall give up the ghost if you do not pacify my torment

How did I possibly forget that Tulsi ‘Present’ Gabbard was the director of national intelligence?

She’s just mad that she got frozen out of the boys club. She was one of the biggest fundraisers in the party— she did her “duty” and only after she got stiffed did she figure out that there is no honor among thieves.

If this caterwauling troll had gotten her bag she’d have had no complaints. Fuck her.

Here’s an idea: how about we stop killing people for no good reason?

Only if they change the triathlon to:

1. Dodging accountability
2. Sitting in a rental truck and eating 4 Taco Bell chalupas
3. Pistols at 6 inches while their friends hold the target

That conservatism is an inherently reactionary ideology dedicated to entrenching the status quo and reversing the hard gains made towards a more free, open, and fair society.

“We’ve been treating people like shit for 20 years now. You’re not over that yet?”

I was talking to a friend about his the other day, and he said he likes to get his news from “the left and the right” to get the “full story.”

He said there are far fewer right-wing news sources, and that he doubted I could even name three. I had no issue naming a dozen, and I could have kept going.

Corporate media, by it’s very nature, is right-wing. They will never advocate for the workers owning the networks or overturning the status quo. There are no “mainstream” leftist news sources in the US.

I don’t see why you should put your face in his video if he isn’t sharing the money. It sounds like he wants free labor to me.

Sherlock Holmes & Captain Nemo vs the Ghost of Christmas Future & a morlock

The giveaways to billionaires were pretty subtle if you have oatmeal for brains.

Bari Weiss’ whole career has been laundering far-right talking points for reactionary “centrists.”

She’s a ghoul, and I have to think that she knows it but the pay is good.

In announcing his Senate candidacy, Sasse expressed strong opposition to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), calling himself “the anti-Obamacare candidate” and declaring that “If it lives, America as we know it will die.” In the Senate, Sasse continued to support repeal of the ACA. In 2017, with Republicans unable to develop a repeal-and-replace plan that could secure a majority in the Senate, Sasse proposed an immediate repeal with a one-year delay in implementation, and called on the Senate to give up its August recess to allow it to work on a replacement measure.

I have no sympathy for people who condemn others to death or poverty in order to enrich themselves. Reap the whirlwind, motherfucker.

“This isn’t who we are.”

I went to a trade school to be an automotive tech, and they had a job fair near the end of the program where all of the local dealerships came out to give out information and set up interviews.

I came out of the program with an entry level hourly position as a technician at the BMW dealership and worked with a master tech until I was ready to start flagging hours.

Speaking as someone from the USA, so there’s probably a bit of a cultural difference, but I’d say it’s the most likely way to secure a decent job in the industry. Otherwise, you could likely get a job busting down tires and doing oil changes at a local shop. You’ll be getting experience that way, but what you learn will be very dependent on the individual shop. It’s a much cheaper alternative, though (at least in the US).
