Republican Idaho state representative said the following:
âI would rather my 6-year-old grandson start smoking cigarettes tomorrow than get a view of this stuff one time at the public library."
- Real?
- Onion?

This shit just blows my mind. Like it was rare to see people wear political attire at all, even during the couple weeks before an election, unless they were campaigners/staff. Now these people are putting fucking banners on their cars. Theyâre nuts. And there are tons of them.
Social media has broken humanity. Good thing we have iron81 here to guard us from Social Media Brain! Weâre the real lunatics, not the people driving around in their own personal Lets Go Brandon-mobile!

The fact that itâs a Tesla is what really breaks my brain.

Social media just illuminates how humanity was already broken. I lost faith in humanity before there was Facebook or Twitter.

I really think the reformation and the resulting wars of religion are the best analogy for today.
Printing press and completely unfettered and uncontrolled spread of print matter to those who werenât used to it. Just madness and conflict everywhere.

From what Iâve heard, USCIS is completely and utterly broken beyond belief.
Trump was chipping away at it, Coronavirus delivered a knockout blow, itâs now insanely understaffed and Biden administration is completely uninterested in doing anything meaningful to help.
God forbid Biden do what it takes to get it performing its basic functions again and be seen as âpro-immigration.â
My girlfriend had a friend who is working here as an au pair, and her mom got a visa to come visit her. Booked her trip, paid for everything, landed in New York, went to go through customs with her valid visa and was essentially told to fuck off and go back home. Had to get right back on a plane and leave, and all that money up in smoke and no visit with her daughter.
USA#1 baby. Fuck this place.

So we have at least another 500 years of this to look forward to?
Just keep voting blue no matter who, theyâll come to respect our norms and decency in five or six centuries!
How widespread is the baby formula crisis talking point?
Even more depressing than Dem uselessness is that itâs generally supported by the partyâs voters. John fucking roberts has a positive approval rating with democrats. Itâs truly hopeless

Social media is an accelerant though. It amplifies the worst of humanity (anti science, anti democracy).

Very, from what I have seen. But it also seems to be a legitimate problem.
Weâre very soon likely to end up in a cold civil war scenario. It is going to be miserable if you live in a red state but I donât see any other path forward. Blue states will start telling the feds to fuck right off and the ineffectual federal government canât or wonât do jack shit. The USA is quickly approaching failed state territory.

This woman has been âan educatorâ in Georgia apparently for many years. She really should read some basic law books. I think sheâd find that legal behavior is not a crime if it becomes illegal later. And sheâs running for Governor?
Meantime, Iâd definitely agree that social media combined with Rush Limbaugh and Fox News have all contributed to an explosion of insane mutants within the Republican Party. She is one.

Itâs a real fucking problem. Currently weâre getting breastmilk for our 4 month old, but itâs not going to last much longer.
