In May 2022, Massie was the only member of the House of Representatives to vote against a non-binding resolution denouncing antisemitism. Massie tweeted that he voted against the bill because it promoted censorship.[75]

Musubi or fried with scrambled eggs and mayploy. Only way to eat spam.

You don't enable it for everyone who reads the documents, just yourself.

I was in central America recently and Google translated this for me recently

bitácora => binnacle

From the rest of the context I realized it just means log, but still. I found it very amusing. I told the folks I was working with that I learned two new words that day.

My wife had one as her primary machine for years. It's currently in the ewaste pile...

You are insane. It is a great movie. Strong performance by Bruce.

How Regan didn't get impeached over Iran Contra is baffling.

It's not about good will from Republicans it's about them falling over each other trying to find a way to stay relevant / in power while attacking each other.

Honestly I'd give it (Vetrans Affairs) to Crenshaw if they could vet him. MAGA is already calling him a RINO. IMO it's a bigger bomb in the midst of the Republican party.

Give Kinzinger Homeland Security, keep a tight leash (he supported DACA). Two Republicans. OMG I'm such a centrist.

Really I want to see the Republican party tear itself apart. I think it is ripe for it.

Honest question, without judgement. What would a Republican secretary of Veterans Affairs do that you would find so objectionable?

Would it change you mind if I made the (admittedly, hopefully not so) wild claim that by giving that person some power, you could destroy the Republican party forever. They would be put in history books next to the Whigs.

Seriously. It's like people don't get politics. Get some milqtoast Republican put them in a cabinet position that doesn't have any pull, and milk the stories about unity. You would rip the Republican party apart. The MAGA base are already calling everyone RINOs, the more divided they are the less powerful.

Do I think she is going to buck her corporate sponsors? Not unless their alternative is chaos (where she needs to drive the Republican party). The one thing corpos love more than raw power is predictablity/stability. Some short term messiness is fine ,good even if they can make money off it, but they die is true chaos.

There are different story lines, but the world is one where there is an infection that basically damages the parts of people's brains that are responsible for morality. They can think and talk, but there is zero impulse control. Lots of rape and murder. It's pretty fucked. I didn't read all of what's out there but what I did read was bleak at best.

It usually follows a small group of survivors a la walking dead.
