my theory is that this is all one big power move from trump, to show people what he can get away with. i don’t think he cares that much about the individual people he’s nominating, he more so cares about showing people that he can pick literally anyone he wants and no one will stop him.

what’s the point of a room if you can’t have a war in it

the $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 from google should be rolling in any day now

i think it sounds (unironically) like something from 1984, e.g. the "ministry of truth" (censorship department) or the "ministry of peace" (war department)

it is a matter of weeks, possibly days, before musk makes a stupid joke about being "head of DOGE" and then photoshops his head onto the picture of the dog.

you have been warned.

not so much turning the government into a nuke, but more so developing a nuke that will obliterate what’s left of our government.

you don’t need to worry about that part. just give me the butter and i’ll take care of the rest

they might go down with the ship

that will be a fun new tourist attraction

okay guys hear me out. what if instead they gave all 80,000 butters to me. i’m one or the most lactose tolerant people i know, and i promise to put it all to good use.

i think that

I would strongly suggest that you consult with a competent criminal defense attorney before you take this course of action

is one of the few pieces of legal advice that you don’t need to be a lawyer to offer.

does trump give a fuck about any of this? he’s shown that he’s only out for himself. he doesn’t need to worry about re election, and he’s old enough there’s a good chance that he’ll either die in office or shortly afterwards.

i think a lack of good public transportation might also be a problem here. if the only viable way to get around is with a car, then stakes of failing a driving test are much higher.

in my opinion, after establishing a very solid public transportation infrastructure, the next step should be to making it harder to get and maintain a driving license. force people to retake the test every 2 years, or every time they get any kind of traffic violation. and make the test harder to pass. the goal would be to make it annoying enough that most people would realize they don’t really need a car. and if people really do need a car, then they’d be much more incentivized to drive responsibly.

facts have a left-leaning bias

an even smarter and wiser person uses this opportunity to make a post on c/science_memes

i'm not sure if i would be willing to lose sleep over a 4 hour mario kart video. now a 4 hour video about invisible walls in mario 64? that's a different story

he was joking about that you too, of course

is diplomacy an option?

i haven't seen either of those but they sound right up my alley. i'll be sure to check those out. it's nice when it feels like a movie isn't in a hurry to be over.
