The shitmods just loving suck, they're in mostly safe-blue districts, and they should all get primaried.

Yeah, here are the numbers (before it gets murdered to death by Bernie in the Senate, likely capped at $400K in income max):

I've never had much of a problem with SALT - Republicans really shafted the gently caress out of Blue States with that 2017 bill, considering Blue State budgets are mostly paid for by rich fucks' state income taxes. With that said, also gently caress 'em, they can have fun hanging with Elon and COVID in a red state if they really want to save on their taxes.

How did the Republicans shaft the blue states with the 2017 bill? The SALT deduction doesn't lower the person's tax liability to the state, it lowers their tax liability to the Federal Government.

How to make Northeastern Liberals stay home on election day: go with a West Virginia-Arizona ticket.

Julian Castro and Stacey Abrams is my dream ticket for 2024. He's still relatively young, he's a nice guy, and she could deliver Georgia gift-wrapped and probably run a winning national campaign. But the DNC's never going to put two minorities on a ticket, there has to be a NON-SCARY WHITE GUY to balance things out.

Kamala could have a -1% approval rating and I still couldn't see her going gentle (and quietly) into that good night.

Stacey Abrams couldn't deliver herself the governors mansion with only slight election fuckery by the secretary of state, she and in fact no one blue will be able to deliver Georgia with the legislature putting election fuckery into law, because we're not getting election reform.

I looked into this guy, Albert Watkin, as St Louis lawyer.

He has some fame for a few reasons, including:
  • Defending a company called The South Butt from those fuckbag North Face vandals.

  • Frequent profanity in public statements
  • While acting as the attorney for the ex-husband of one of former-Missouri Governor Eric Greitens' affair/sex assault victims, he received a $100k payment from Scott Faughn, the publisher of The Missouri Times, and political opponent of Greitens, which became its own B-story during the time of the 2018 trial.

There's much better law speakers and NG-knowers here than me so take my statements for what their worth. I believe that scorched earth "screw you do what I say" tactic is possible, just politically messy. It would absolutely send the message that needs to be sent in this situation though so I'm frustrated it hasn't happened. Everyone who is going to scream about it is already screaming about blood of tyrants and itching to do January 6th 2.0 so gently caress them, put them in their places or fire them all.

Apparently you just get to do whatever the hell you want in the Guard anymore.

The Kentucky Guard hosed everyone on the Border Mission because 6 of their pilots wouldn't get the vaccine and were thus undeployable.

It'll be fun when the OK ARNG figures out that like 90% of the Guard's funding is Federal.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

The Line Documentary about Eddie Gallagher just dropped on Apple TV. I had listened to the podcast before and was convinced Eddie Gallagher was a sociopath, at the very least extremely brain busted by years of combat. But I wasn’t prepared for the level of detail in this 4-part documentary. I mean holy poo poo they have videos and pictures of literally Team 7’s entire Mosul deployment. The dude has a picture taken for his “battlefield re-enlistment ceremony” and he’s holding the dead ISIS kid’s hair in his hand like he’s a dead turkey. It’s just loving crazy. I have a tendency to get really viscerally triggered by seeing a human getting tortured or gravely mistreated. That recently released docudrama with Alec Baldwin and Christian Slater about Dr Death had some surgery scenes that legit shook me to my core. I just cannot ever every imagine a patient under my care being hurt like that and I get the feeling that for Eddie’s squad mates there’s the same sort of visceral reaction but it comes down to innocent non-combatants. This documentary literally portrays Eddie killing innocent women and children with his sniper rifle. Man gently caress trump forever for getting Eddie off scott free. And gently caress Fox News for turning his story into some patriot vs the left bullshit in the first place.

Also fair warning there is at least one scene in ep1 where a suicide bomber goes off right in front of a bunch of Iraqi soldiers and for a split second there’s definitely pink mist all up in the scene. There are a bunch of extremely raw scenes, really. I guess Apple TV doesn’t mind airing multiple drone and helmet cam scenes of people literally getting vaporized.

The federal government is a vast income redistribution scheme, taking from the blue and giving to the red.

Cutting SALT takes more from the blue.

I'll need to watch it at some point as I just just finished reading Alpha, and yeah, Gallagher is an incredibly huge shitbird. I mean it was obviously the case before the trial but there was a ton of stuff that just did not come out at all during the trial or afterwards because of undue command influence and other assorted bureaucratic poo poo.

Should come out of it soon, the Moderna booster seems to have a gently caress-you-up duration of about 36 hours, then some tail-end minor shoulder soreness for a few more days. I highly recommend hitting the pain meds if you haven't already - rotate ibuprofen and Tylenol every few hours. Probably wouldn't hurt to take some Pepto too :v:

I got a Pfizer booster yesterday in addition to my initial Pfizer jabs, and aside from feeling sore this morning, I'm in pretty decent shape.

I felt a little sickly last night but some advil and a solid night of sleep seemed to carry me through the worst of it.

Donald Trump refused to go under anesthesia when he had a colonoscopy because he did not want to hand power over to Mike Pence, a new book claims.

Mr Trump’s former press secretary Stephanie Grisham says that the president did not want anyone to know about the medical procedure, which she does not specifically name, because he did not want to be “the butt of a joke” for late-night comedians.

Some people elect to *not* go under, and it's not required, the doctors just prefer it because it's easier and faster to roto-rooter someone who's unconscious.

I think it's way more likely he just didn't get a colonoscopy. Can you imagine the rear end in a top hat doing the pre-cleanse process with his phobia of being poisoned? No loving way.

As someone whose had one, the idea of Trump having the effects of the pre-cleanse, would probably one of the classics in terms of laughing. Not that I'd want to see it, but the audio track would probably be gold.
