Nah. You’ve quite thoroughly let us all know you like the taste of boot leather, lack empathy, and just generally suck as a human being. Thanks for helping us with that.

So you have no evidence.

Which means you’re basing that stance on what? Your feelings?

Show us the evidence that federal workers are wasting tax payer money by being less productive working from home.

Show us the studies that indicate returning 228,000 federal workers to the office will increase productivity and efficiency in enough abundance as to pay for the rent of an unnecessary office building, the staff to manage it, utilities, cleaning, and ,maintenance crews.

You can’t. So please sit down in your comfy retirement. If you’ve retired from the workforce your opinion on modern working conditions is moot.

Cult, or…Qult.

Bannon is an accelerationist who believes in the inevitability of and is trying to bring about a race war.

Stop that, please.

Musk is not a politician.

Do not normalize this by even referring to him as such. He has never held elected office.

If they’re older than 33 you can call him Old Jesus, too!

But golly, the fella was a jelly bean fan, ya know?

You can go back to Prescott Bush and the Business Plot. His son was head of the CIA and Reagan’s vice-president, went on to become preside George Bush.
And in 2000 his son won the presidency via the Supreme Court after a VERY sketchy incident known as the Brooks Brothers Riot.
On the 2nd Bush’s watch we gpt 9/11 followed by massive increases in domestic surveilance and a huge wave of jingoist “patriotism” which created an evironment where criticizing the government was equivalent to being a baby eating social communist.

Cheers and a happy early birthday to you as well!

Or…is it a late happy birthday?

Ugh, I can never remember with your birthday being so close to Christmas, y’know? It just slips my mind every year.

My birthday is the 27th of December.

On any given year odds are that my birthday sucked. Growing up it was during holiday break so no bringing cupcakes to school. 2 days after Christmas, care to guess how many kids want to attend a birthday party? Birthday presents were almost always an afterthought combined with Christmas.
I am a huge Star Wars fan so when Carrie Fisher passed away on December 27th, 2016, that was an especially shitty birthday.
There have been uears when my parents have forgotten my birthday entirely.

All that aside, my wife threw me my first and only surprise birthday party for my 40th. It was Star Wars themed including food she made from the Galaxy’s Edge cookbook she had given me for Christmas. That year I got a Kenner power (Gonk) droid still in the original packaging (with Venture price sticker still on it), which my mom had somehow saved since I was a kid. She also gave me all of my old Star Wars action figures she had been saving for me, unknown to me. And I also received an original Rancor and the box it came in from a friend. That one almost made up for all the others before and since. I’ve learned the best way to have a good birthday is to set the lowest of expectations.

User tags are useful for remembering trolls. Thanks for the service pointing them out.

I will never understand how these people get elected when they can’t even bother to show up for work.

Vrai, c’est domage.
