Trump: I am very pleased with the patriotic actions of the Proud Boys…

AG: Sir. They had to give up their trademark to a Black church.

Trump: I am very upset with the anti-American actions of the Proud Boys…

Probably something like this.

This sounds like some Brave New World bullshit. Sorry, I recently read Brave New World.

Newspeak would be an attempt to prevent any language that hinted at things deemed “bad”. For example, we couldn’t call this “fascism” with Newspeak because the approved language would remove that word completely. Newspeak isn’t just changing how you say things, but preventing unapproved behavior entirely by saying those things don’t exist.

Well that isn’t the issue, it’s that anything which isn’t 100% in favor of the Israeli state is being equated with antisemitism.

So we are more worried about the privacy communications instead of how we are bombing Yemen. Great. Fantastic.

I took one college course and couldn’t handle it. On top of that I was the weird student that wanted to use a Mac instead of the school’s own computers. So anytime I had a problem, the teacher would just blame me using Xcode instead of Visual Studio.

It would be hilarious if some judge deems this order illegal because the Secretary can’t do what the order calls for if it means they have no department to run.

Bro, that song is about a child being born.

Anyone wondering what a “good” president in Philippines looks like, I was made (as a U.S. born Pinoy) to understand this: celebrities go into government because they are celebrities. In my family we used to joke that at the height of Justin Bieber’s popularity, he would get elected if he was Filipino. Just wanted to contrast things.

No joke, Manny Pacquiao was a senator at one time.

Which is?

EDIT: The current government at the time of his death didn’t even want him transported back to the country. He had been in Hawaii for medical treatment. Eventually he got put in a mausoleum. In 2016 when he finally did get a burial, that sparked protest. If you think something other than ex-president can be used as a more appropriate label, I would like to know.

Have you actually been through the Canal? I have been on a cruise that went through it. It takes hours. That is some slow ass war if I’ve ever heard of one.

Got tetanus updated. Apparently that was recommended on my last medical checkup.

So I guess you don’t mind having to bury it if it catches fire, because they reach insane temperatures. Or the fact that raccoons think they are dumpsters.

Sheryl Crow donated her car to a NPR station.

There are people who will argue about bird flu influencing the price. However, when it comes to the Trump Administration, they will only blame the previous administration. They won’t try to take any responsibility for failing to meet the expectations of lowering the price that they promised.

Despite the factual accuracy of when this began, it does not mean he can go unblamed.

You’d think Lancet retracting that famously fraudulent MMR study would have had a positive impact. Guess not.

You just reminded me of a joke from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. During the Ireland arc (“The Gangs Still in Ireland”, season 15 episode 6), Mac pursues an interest in becoming a Catholic priest. He ends up asking, in a vaguely worded question if it is okay to be gay. By the end, he basically nopes out when he realizes the priest was referring to relations with young boys.

Considering how closely associated this sect of Christendom is with FLDS, a cult, this isn’t a good image for them.

The guy calling for peace thinks it is okay for anyone to want to continue the violence. Fucking brilliant.
