"Then there will be some wrangling, leadership will agree to add a couple measures that will make life harder for single mothers, and the bill will pass without substantial changes."
Bless you, Dok, for not only saying the thing that everyone knows, but no one actually writes, and further for making it the lede, which is where it belongs.
I still think every story about Trump's brainfarts should lead with "The President announced another poorly thought-out and probably illegal thing today which, inexplicably, the rest of the executive branch is duly enacting even though it will be halted by a TRO within a week."
I assume the 2029 date on some of those cuts and requirements is supposed to give a few GOP senators some cover. They already lost Josh fucking Hawley; how many others view this crap as nothing less than political suicide?
They need not worry. Murc's Law is Cruise Control for Cool (and Clicks!). Besides for voters, Democrats need to be perfect...Republicans only need excuses.
It's 1936 MST and I got out of bed fifteen minutes ago. I went to sleep at 7AM. So, maybe twelve hours sleep. For me, getting out of bed is getting more difficult by the day and I'm not snarking.
Because not only do Donald et al tend to discontinue FEMA and will be parroting “give it back to the states” because they think people don’t understand that state budgets cannot support that burden –
but they also have ALL THE PLANS to pocket ALL THE MONEY
AND THEN they’re going to sell the land at distressed prices to Russia, China, and whoever else they owe money to
It's not just FEMA but NOAA and the associated forecasting agencies. That doesn't stop the tornadoes from removing your house but it can save the lives of the folks who aren't like the dumbasses who hear the siren and take that as their cue to go camp out on the porch with a cooler full of beer.
Oh god zuludaddy was right. He told me today to check with him in a month about The Daily Beast’s decline. I just saw that they gave Clitzilla a job opining about Democrats. I’m beaten.
How many goddamn DEMOCRATS will vote for this pile of shit? I bet >10 in the house and >5 senators. And Cory Booker is dead to me.

That second season though. Hell the entire thing.
Well played, Disney. Well played.

It's so whomever, and they are assuming a Democrat, gets the blame.
Same as the last cuts that did not kick in until 21.
That the GOP sued to keep in place when Biden kicked them to the curb
Other boats. Sailing boat. Beautiful sun. Turner.

I zoomed in for a good look at the man from "The Hay Wain".
Impressive video, with onlooker commentary (mostly, "Holy crap!")

Mexican Navy training sailing ship gets a buzz cut thanks to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Consequently, Trump declares war on Mexico; raises tariffs, etc. (Probably.)
I don't know whether to LMAO or go back to bed, or both.
This is *not* the boat pr0n we like.
The main question to consider is whether or not sail power is woke.
Obviously, the crew of that ship was not woke.
Don't they have coffee on those things?
Right now they're lucky if they have enough clean underwear to go around.
I just have to laugh. Seems to be the only sane response.
This timeline is definitely unserious.
It's only a matter of time until Bobby Ewing steps out of the shower.
Obviously, said ship went a bridge too far.
I'll shut up now.
tsk, tsk.
I didn't get out of bed until 5:00 pm today. Why even bother?
Saturday Caturday is officially OT of everything and you can do whatever the fuck you want.
It's 1936 MST and I got out of bed fifteen minutes ago. I went to sleep at 7AM. So, maybe twelve hours sleep. For me, getting out of bed is getting more difficult by the day and I'm not snarking.

And yet money is considered free speech in the US.
Somebody please put me out of this misery. Please!
I don't think it's time for that. But you can get very stoned!!
I'm working on the stonage situation right now.

I stopped visiting The Daily Beast about nine months ago. Too much clickbait.
It’s celebrity gossip trash now, mostly
This scene feels very real and very absurd at the same time.
I think you are on the wrong thread...
Works either way, really!
Mexican sailboat just crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge because they didn't read a tide chart. What you said tracks!.
oops
I'm finally done for the day. I'm tired and will now just be horizontal.
Great post, Dok. Thank you.
Glad I know nothing about an andor.
