Our economy is just about fucked, so why not start a war? That's what we do, right?

What's fucking crazy is that this has been going on for a year; they found files last summer. And he's been a sitting rep this whole fucking time!

Edit: honestly, he's a huge piece of shit, besides the CSAM material, just unpleasant all the time. I know some folks at the State House and they hated him.

Well, I'm still happy that my grandfathered $7.99 plan from the GPM days still holds up, fully ad-free.

Which grows more useless everyday, arguably. I reckon I'll still stick with Kagi.

Crazy how the "fiscally responsible" Republicans still can't grasp money going in must be greater than money going out to decrease the deficit. There's no way out of this shit storm without raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. We also need a progressive capital gains tax, so that when billionaires get their dividends, they're taxed to hell. But what the fuck do I know.

There are only three times in American history, that I can find, that habeas corpus was suspended. The civil war, WWII, and right after 9/11. It should be noted that SCOTUS overturned the suspension after 9/11 when Bush wanted to detain and send people to Guantanamo without due process. So, there's some precedent as to when and how, the question will be, as it is ever increasingly, what is SCOTUS gonna do?

Oh, I'm well aware of that despicable school in the Upstate. That whole area is still riddled with prejudice.

Absolutely! We're still a bit away from being solely reliant, in the general sense, on renewables, but they're fantastic at grid supplimentation! We should be heavily investing in both, but much more in nuclear, as it has higher energy yield and is able to meet demand better. Having an EE degree has proven more stressful in recent years with the administrations not doing enough for energy demand in America. It's no small stretch to say, we are decades behind on demand and infrastructure. We've punted the ball so many times that it's a monumental feat to move quickly enough without a large investment in the grid, and even then lol

You're welcome! I have a Citadel connection, so I know more about the school's history than I ever cared to learn.

Edit: If I remember correctly, The Citadel was the last military school to admit women. Way to go, South Carolina!

I guess we're just skipping over the enormous responsibility that is charged to husbands by Paul in his letter to Ephesus, eh? Husbands are supposed to love their wives as Christ loves us. Intending that, husbands should be as blameless and self-sacrifical as Christ. But hey, we don't give a shit on making sure men do their part, right? The American Evangelical movement is just as bad as every other religions' zealots they are against. Just cherry picked bullshit with no regards for historical context, hermaneutics, or actually following Jesus' commands to better the world. It's all about power, baby!

The administration is too stupid to invest/subsidize nuclear energy to meet America's demand. We're fucked.

She wasn't even the first admitted, just the first to graduate
