Senate Parliamentarian announces what has to be stripped from the Bg Bad Bill (or at least one committees part of it) to allow it to fall under reconciliation. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5360488-parliamentarian-rules-bill-trump-agenda/

Among other things:

—cannot defund CFPB the way they planned

—no cutting Federal reserve salaries

—no repealing EPA emissions standards

And more!

Or, when asking the question "Are we the baddies?!?" they want the answer to always be no, else the foundation of their own narratives about how great and heroic they are become weakened or erased. Who will admire and respect them if it becomes clear that they are privileged, bullying assholes?

The facts ARE biased against them Truth is biased against them That is why their entire program consists of lies. Lies, repeated cynically and incessantly, until they supplant reality.

Remember when somebody damaged a Tesla, and magic US law magically made federal agents guard Tesla dealerships immediately? Meanwhile, right wing assassins shoot people in the faces with kill lists and get second degree murder and bail.

Tom Wolfe was a conservative, but geez was he fun to read. He liked to mock 60s liberals with what he called "The Great Adjectival Catch-Up." You (in Europe) have real fascism? Well, we have "cultural fascism."

The cup has been passed to the right-wingers.

This is a simple fix, you just need Grok to start binging on Ketamine

Looks like someone has finally put down their ketamine long enough to realize if he doesn’t start towing the regime’s line again, or bootlicking for Trump again, he’s going to lose his billions in government welfare contracts and subsidies, if not every single red cent he has. He might not even be able to have his mommy rub his ears at bedtime from the box they throw him into.

It won't help, his robot taxi service will never generate any real revenue and he is moving backward in his spaceships to Mars fantasy - the latest one didn't even leave the ground before blowing up.

Progress, how does that work?

Why is the right always desperately insisting they are nonviolent pacifists? The second amendment protects the right to wear wild flowers and tie dye blouses.

Ta, Robyn. fElon skuM should fall into a K-hole and never again emerge. And the Murderbot should follow him there and do justice.

Elon does not believe this with his whole soul. He is a con man, who has minions for the believing bullshit.

None of their "leaders" believe any of this shit, aside from Trump, who just believes what-ever the latest worm tongue slithers into his ear, and does not count.

Believing requires a model of the world, and I am not convinced Trump is enough of a person to have anything we would recognize as a model of reality.

He is pure desire with the ability to manipulate and dominate people grafted on. There are some essential frontal lobe associated personality parts missing.
