Nice, calling Musk's kid retarded. Stay classy, Gutter.

Guess this EO didn't make the MSDNC talking points for you. I'm shocked. https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-announces-actions-to-lower-prescription-drug-prices/

Yeah, I've heard that the Ring of Fire near the Pacific NW is overdue to blow. That or an asteroid are when, not if. If we don't destroy things ourselves in the meantime.

This is how the world ends -- our hubris at trying to manipulate the climate. Well, this or a supervirus from a Wuhan lab errr.... wet market.

Not killings. "Casualty." Can't offend the Somali voting bloc. Rest assured that if the guy's name was Cletus, we'd be calling it "killings" or "terrorism". What is a mass casualty event, anyway? Sounds like a Boy Scout first aid competition. "Use your neckerchief to create an ankle splint!"

You are probably correct. I would expect that the persona of the average person in this debt is someone with poor financial acumen, combined with little ability to postpone short-term gratification. They are the people who, when their credit card maxes out, think the solution is to get another one. As such, they buy a lot of stuff, much of which they don't need. But yes, such purchases stimulate the economy.

Phoenix kid

Man, this guy nailed it.

Hmm, OK, thanks. How about complaining about Luigi being in custody? I mean sure, he is a rich kid who murdered a man in cold blood, but somebody somewhere has been oppressed by a health care company, and Taylor Lorenz thinks he's super cute!

I'm confident NPR is using taxpayer dollars to create a scathing piece to that effect.

Looks like Trump wants people to have kids, that's a terrible idea. What good are kids to a healthy and growing culture? Plus, they are an invention of the patriarchal oligarchy to keep birthing people down.

I do have cancer. What this person was doing isn't going to make or break my survival. It is a cog in the cancer-fighting machine. I'm not saying her work isn't important, but the work will continue. I am more concerned with the recent halt on funding to Harvard's medical research. THAT is a big deal, if I understand it correctly (I haven't been on the interwebs much recently).

Took some more blue pills I see. Is her camp denying these allegations? Didn't think so. Hit home why, because I come from a scientific background? I would never, ever presume to take any work product into another country, let alone a country in which I had a work visa, let alone what could have been a bioweapon. We recently had this Covid thing, perhaps you've heard of it? Of course, @Fnordthinks Joe Customs agent should have fined her a cup of coffee and sent her on her way. That being said, I'm not surprised that a lot of scientists object to it -- they overwhelmingly live in a pollyanna academic bubble, isolated from the real world, instead living in one where people just accommodate them. But it is a concern, as I don't want to see a brain drain of misguided scientists.

Regarding DEI: The Cards have had two black head coaches -- Denny Green and Steve Wilks. They also tend to be a progressive leader, having had the first woman coach (okay, unpaid intern I think). Green was a known commodity. Wilks... was epically bad as a HC. Not just Ws and Ls, but he always seemed like a deer in the headlights, sucking in front of the media and generally playing checkers while opposing coaches were playing 4D chess. It's hard to imagine that he aced a series of interviews so well that, simply on his merits, he came from outside the organization to be the choice for coach. I've always suspected there was at least a little DEI involved in that choice.

Then why was there a text exchange where she said she wasn't going to declare them? Just take the L, Gutter, and chalk it up to the MSDNC gaslighting you again. The whataboutism of Trump never lying is sad.

Well, we certainly don't want a guy worth close to $400B looking for waste; goodness knows he needs Gutter's SSN to make ends meet. That work is better left to a career civil servant with a beach house and a hunting lodge. They would be much more trustworthy with out money.

I couldn't imagine being on a message bored where you systematically ignored every poster who disagrees with you, especially when that type of poster is the large majority. Does he have like 5 people NOT on ignore?

I had to look it up: it was Bhatia and Theegala. I was like, we talked about them? Well, kinda...

Yeah, we would need to see what led up to this. She was molested and raped as a child, so I'm inclined to cut her a little slack if this largish man was following her through the store.

What I can't figure out is if you like oysters or not?

That's a lot of words to agree with me. Being in MS-13 is not a crime per se. The administration could have done a lot of things, but in case you didn't notice, they are in most cases just moving fast and acting. They just chose to deport the alleged MS-13 member who allegedly beat his wife (alleged #metoo) and allegedly drove a bunch of illegal aliens up from the border.* Their mistake was missing the stay of deportation. * "allegeds" are for the benefit of @TimHauck

Tim will defend this to the end, because that's how he rolls. She looks nothing like her college photo! Except exactly alike but only less weight and a nose job! Gender affirming surgery!

Please, nobody was ever going to impeach Saint Barack the Most Awesomeful. To even think of an objection to any of his actions was deemed instant racism!
