> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > This really needs to be followed up on. “Do you really think the Army is a bunch of hacks?” Trump, at least, has already shown us that he thinks exactly that. > [@Cheesesteak](#): > > When he says “The Buck Stops Here” he’s only talking about money. [Here](https://www.gsa.gov/system/files/OF41-20a.pdf) is a fillable online PDF of the latest revision of the US government’s “buck slip” aka Optional Form 41. I’ve heard that’s what Truman was referring to in his famous remark. Another thing I’ve heare is that “buck” is poker slang. > [@eschereal](#): > > KJ Un Just so’s you know, _Un_ is not that particular dictator’s surname; _Kim_ is. _Un_ is just the second syllable of his given name. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > _Un_ is not that particular dictator’s surname; _Kim_ is. _Un_ is just the second syllable of his given name. Everytime I see this mistake I have to fight the urge to respond by referring to everyone that way. “Do you think Ma will be able to win the election, or is Ald going to get another term? I hear President Seph is giving a speech tonight! I can’t wait to hear Chel’s take on MSNBC afterward.” ---

> [@Stratocaster](#): > > Emphasis added. What’s up with this shit? Aren’t there childless Republicans? So weird. There has always been an element of society that was suspicious and/or hateful towards people who, for whatever reason, did not have children. At best someone childless was to be pitied, but more often viewed as a threat. For a long time this view was marginalized but for whatever reason it’s having a moment in the sun (again). Childless Republicans? They’ll vote for the face-eating leopard party because the face-eating leopards will never eat _their_ face. And yes, there’s sometimes a racist element where the objection is not enough _white_ babies, but it’s not just about race. > [@Spoons](#): > > Actually, I’m amazed at how fast McNaughton can pump these out. I knew a commercial illustrator; he was a friend of our family, and he could put things out on the double-quick, so I shouldn’t be surprised. But this kind of detail shows some kind of dedication beyond just a commission to do the cover of a Harlequin romance or a Chevrolet advertisement. I suspect there may be some AI involvement based on random weirdness in those pictures, like the black guy on the right in a hoodie who seems to have bare, white legs. Or maybe not, some think it’s the black guy looting a white guy. Still wonder if AI is involved, probably cleans up the worst AI mistakes, but using AI would probably speed up his output. > [@rocking\_chair](#): > > I wondered about the chicken, not enough to do more than, “ huh, a chicken, huh”. Technically, it’s a rooster. I was wondering what France’s national bird was doing in the picture. ---

No, the folks McNaughton is trying to sell to? They already know that "the rooster isn’t crowing anymore; it’s simply trying to survive what’s coming.” because we are in The End Times and that a, clearly Jezebel possessed, ‘’‘woman’‘’ is trying to usurp her natural place in the world is clear evidence of it. ---

Here you go: [BIBLICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: The Rooster in Biblical Symbolism](https://biblicalanthropology.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-rooster-in-biblical-symbolism.html) In Christian tradition, the rooster symbolizes a sinner’s acceptance of divine pardon through Jesus Christ and the hope of bodily resurrection. ---
