For me it’ll be a bottle of Champagne or sparkling wine a few cuts above a $12 bottle of Korbel Brut.
Yeah, I was noticing that. Maybe we can get all those hagiographic renaming projects modified to “The Charlie Kirk and Rob Reiner Memorial [whatever]”. Not that either of the deceased would appreciate that juxtaposition, of course.
Yet another dick move among many, many others.
The Internet had a busy day mocking RFK Jr.'s chosen spokesman Dr. Oz, who was going on and on about how those Selfish Transgender Children were spending $150,000 per penis, with testicles not included:
Oh, those terrible little children!
(If ignorance was cash, Dr. Oz might be the richest man in the world.)
Wasn’t their reasoning for cutting the Department of Education because they wanted to return control to state and local governments? So why in this case are they imposing control on state and local governments when it comes to gender affirming care?
BOGO.
That might have been what they were claiming, but in reality, the vast majority of education is handled at the local level. What the DOE does is mostly making sure that schools are properly respecting civil rights of students, and it helps provide services to underrepresented individuals who might not otherwise be supported. In other words, a lot of very necessary things that often get missed by local school programs that could be considered “DEI”.
Developmentally disabled people, fuck you, you don’t need an education. And if a school wants to put people of color in the “slow class”, let them. That’s what Republicans want to accomplish.
But Republicans 100% want to ensure that the “wrong sorts of people” are really punished in every facet of life, including our education system.
Have you forgotten doublethink?
< spit take > Dude! 
Same reason the Confederacy talked about states’ rights but forbade the states from having any rights about slavery.
I don’t know why it pisses me off so much, but deciding to dismantle NCAR has me… exercised this morning. I mean, it’s not like I think we really had a shot anyway, but metaphorically closing your eyes doesn’t make catastrophes go away JFC!
Now we just have to wait and see if it literally burns down from wildfires + high winds before they can gut it and destroy yet another American institution we could actually be proud of.
For those, like me, who were wondering what NCAR is: Trump moves to dismantle National Center for Atmospheric Research lab
Yup, probably should have included a link. It’s just really depressing/rage inducing (depraging?) to think of how much has been lost already, how much is currently being threatened, and the fact that we have three more years of this bullshit at minimum.
Hurray to our glorious cultural revolution…
And, of course, he hasn’t the first clue what it is. He’s just mad at Colorado for jailing Tina Peters. She was trying to swing the election in Trumps favor.
Let her rot.
Trump derails speech to talk about how he’s the healthiest president
President Donald Trump could only make it two minutes into a speech at the White House’s Hanukkah reception Tuesday before completely derailing it by yapping about his favorite topic: himself.
Trump kicked off his remarks by condemning the mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney on Sunday. After reading off a few generic lines about how the antisemitic act that killed 15 Jewish people was a “terrible, terrible thing,” he moved on to introduce those in attendance at the reception.
When he read the name of Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) — the former White House physician turned GOP lawmaker — Trump decided to very abruptly change gears.
“He was my White House doctor,” Trump said before taking a few familiar jabs at his Democratic predecessors. “Ronny was asked, ‘Who’s the healthiest of all? Was it Barack Hussein Obama? Was it Sleepy Joe Biden? Or was it Donald Trump?’ And he said, ‘Trump was by far the healthiest.’”
The president continued, “He was the doctor for all three of us, and he said, ‘Trump was by far the healthiest.’ I love him.”
Somewhat undermining his boast, Trump then added: “If he didn’t say that, I would never have talked to him again.”
Trump then proceeded to have notable audience members come up on stage and kiss his butt for several more minutes before bragging about supplying weapons to Israel.
The president finally circled back to Hanukkah nearly 16 minutes in, but got distracted only seconds later and began talking about how he stopped Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
Our President.
Healthier than Obama? Really?
Compare hands.
Have a walking-down-the-ramp competition.
I thought the trump admin was ignoring Hanukkah. I read in an article about the W.H. Christmas decorations that there was not a menorah (hanukkiah) to be seen on the premises. I guess trump didn’t want to alienate Jewish donors. Or the “Israel can do no wrong” lobby.
Speak coherently. Spell coherently. Spell spell. I dare ya Donnie.
The other day he was holding a rally, and he opined on gift giving. Even though the economy is roaring like never before, perhaps it would be best to limit the number of dolls and pencils you give, which makes me wonder- did this asshole grow up in a world where pencils were gifts? As he would say, “sad”.
Thanks to his support of the coal industry, there should be plenty of lumps of coal for children’s stockings, amirite?
