Thank you for saving me from wasting my time on that slop

I would love to have that level of optimism again… Here’s hoping it actually works out that way

And then Biff Tannen was elected US president

It’s the modern day book burning

Let’s see if it actually plays out that way in practice

That statement could be applied to a lot of things he’s done and gotten away with so far so forgive me if that fails to give me hope

Last I heard was a couple weeks ago them stating clearly that they would not comply, and doing a bit of searching I can’t find anything more recent that contradicts that stance… Where did you see that they’d reversed that decision?

If it’s on the table, I’ll accept it, even though I too would want more

Really? Because I thought they would fall apart way faster than they did, I’m honestly amazed they lasted past the inauguration

56 million to drop the OD death rate by nearly a quarter? This is exactly the sort of thing I want to see my taxes doing, directly improving people’s lives, and the cost is a drop in the bucket for federal budgets.

And his reasoning is bullshit, you can work to address the deeper cause while mitigating the symptoms, it isn’t an either/or

Didn’t get a bingo!

Wait… Was I supposed to circle the ones I do relate to?! Dammit.

As bad as this is, it isn’t actually saying anything about using the military alongside law enforcement, though it does talk about giving law enforcement excess military assets and training and likely opens the door to using personnel as well (section 4-b), though they could just interpret “assets” to include forces… Anyway, either way this is bad

ETA: actually, the more I read it and think about it, especially in context of what the administration has been up to lately, they’re almost certainly going to try to use it to deploy military forces for civilian policing

Huh…I wonder how that got checked… Thanks for letting me know!

A station wagon is a better truck than that thing

I could load that in my hatchback with virtually zero sag, I don’t think anyone would call it a truck

Can’t run over pedestrians the driver can’t see if they can’t drive it… Sounds like the best feature Tesla put on this monstrosity to me

No one is above the law

Agreed… Maybe you should be telling your boss that…

Yes, but which new one should I use?

Nevermind, I’m sure they’ll both be plenty broken

I mean, I’m pretty sure he could get one quickly… He’s got plenty of money from all the bribes he’s been soliciting…

Even when they do call him on it, any enforcement of that will be coming from agencies he’s loaded with sycophants
