He said that New Zealand had banned access to sites like 4chan and 8chan, but that was wrong and he got a couple stories mixed up.

I 100% believe that trump believes CNN only polls CNN fans.
CNN doesn't like him, so they tell their fans to not like him, so they don't.
And then CNN takes a poll of CNN fans who say what CNN tells them to.
Thus CNN must have reported 77% good news about him on this issue!
According to THEIR OWN POLL!!

It's...frightening to think of the implications of this. Does he really have that cartoonish a view of how the world works?

Oh gently caress of course he does.

It's that "NPC" meme bullshit. No wonder trump doesn't care about anyone but himself: he's the only awake person in a world full of sheeple. A complete lack of empathy in the party that was already 98% lack of empathy.

He thinks people just constantly make poo poo up. Because that’s what he does.

My proposal for the Middle East is to give the Palestinians to Canada and send the Israelis to Australia then glass that area or turn it into an amusement park/museum called Holy Land and the profits from tickets sold will go to charitable causes.

Ripoff posted:

We could even have characters of all the religious deities have a parade around the park before engaging in a “Medieval Times” style dinner tournament where they’ll beat each other senseless to determine the realest religion.
Well, there is The Holy Land Experience, located a few miles from Disney World. From what I hear from the few brave friends who have gone, it's well-done but pretty bonkers. They sadly do not appear to have battle reenactments though (missed opportunity, imo).

CDC: MAGA Disease (MAGA) is a rare and deadly disease in people and (mostly) nonhuman primates. The viruses that cause MAGA are located mainly in rural US populations with no hope at all, because of MAGA. People can get MAGA through direct contact with an infected animal (fox or twitter critter) or a sick or dead website or podcast infected with MAGA virus.

There is no approved vaccine or treatment for MAGA. Research on MAGA focuses on finding the virus’ natural host, developing vaccines to protect at-risk populations, and discovering therapies to improve treatment of the disease.
Sounds like the framework for a SCP article.

I like when people make that argument because I just say "I believe my vote should be equal to everyone else's and you believe that rural people's votes should be worth more than mine." And they don't really know what to do with that so the pointless bad faith debate ends.

A country wide internet filter seems.... bad. Like 8chan is clearly criminal and everyone involved should go to jail or hell asap, but the whole concept of a great wall internet filter is not a good one and does not seem like a system that ends with good results no matter how pure the intentions of the original founders of it set it out to fulfill. Like there is absolutely zero percent chance of any council elected (or unelected) to decide what sites do or do not go on the list of banned sites does not immediately end up in web posts about female presenting nipples or something.

So the goal must be to make the EPA intentionally bad at it's job so it's easier to destroy. Same old nonsense. We knew a man who fished out of the tchefuncte river for his family but never had any himself because he didn't like catfish. Everyone but him ended up with cancer because, of course, the indigo plants were upriver. I imagine anyone silly enough to fish here will end up the same way.

I would assume you'd hold the person refusing the subpoena in contempt, toss them in jail, and then move onto the next scapegoat?

That could theoretically go on for awhile but in theory Congress tossing a bunch of White House staffers in prison for breaking the law would make an impact of some kind.

Yep - contempt of Congress is like contempt of court, but with fewer appeals available because it's a political question and therefore the judicial branch can't/won't touch it.

Now, I suppose the AG could ignore Congress when they order the arrest, but I don't think any lawyer would be particularly interested in opening that Pandora box.

I mean I only worked as a teacher's assistant and substitute teacher for a few months but I worked with every grade and in both NYC and NJ I didn't particularly notice anything like that. I'm a non-straight person who would be all for it but I dunno. The kids were mostly just typical, very, very stressful kids.

Popular music in general is getting gayer though I'd say.

e: if my experience is any indication though the upcoming generation will be better at doing Fortnite dances than anyone else in existence. And they can also play shooters on ipads and stuff somehow.

This is the horseriding, backpacking, canoeing, dog sledding, folk music. But it's across all the demographics one can think of. I listen to a lot of kids music these days and it's all pretty progressive.

I found out today one of my friends I haven't seen a while is in transition. The last I had seen them was in maybe five years ago.

Despite Trump and all this regression, a lot more people are feeling comfortable coming out and starting transition.
