War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

He’s just keeping in line with some zoo’s playbook: keep your friends close but your (self-imposed) enemies closer.

I mean, don’t y’all remember we fought a war against Canada and a whole other one with Mexico?

Blood: The rivers turned to blood
Frogs: Frogs filled the rivers Gnats: Dust from the ground turned into gnats that covered people and animals Flies: Flies landed on Mike Pence Boils: Covid broke out in people and animals Hail: Hail rained down <— You are here Locusts: Locusts covered the ground and ate crops and trees Darkness: Total darkness for three days Firstborn children: All firstborn children died

I disagree with your step out of the way remark. A lot of us are still mourning and reeling the loss of the country we thought we knew.

It also is important to make a plan and see the throughline amongst the chaos. If we don’t make a plan it’s going to be the summer of the 99% all over again.

Sounds like a good time for me to RESING then and get that sticky ball of wax rolling.

If I were past the retirement threshold, I would probably take this. If I were so burnt out that I could barely cope, I would probably take this. If I were dying and it wouldn’t affect my family’s benefits, I would probably take this.

But in all other cases, you know what I would do? I would reach out to HR and start having the discussions with them. I’d get those “efficiency” wolves salivating at the chance to vacate my position. I’d ask questions, I’d have trouble with the paperwork, highlight certain lines in the agreement where I needed more assurance and clarification. I’d inject additional terms…I mean really gum up the works. I’d occupy as much of their time as they’d give me.

And when it was finally time to sit down and sign, I’d rip it all up, right there in front of whomever I could get an audience with and tell ‘em I changed my mind. And then I’d do it all over again 3 months later.

Yea? But they say that they talk so much shit about him behind closed doors!

Interesting idea here. Give the president so much rope to hang himself with that all but the brownest of the brown-nosers find his actions reprehensible. And thus impeachment becomes a valuable tool again.

SCOTUS playing 4D chess? Not so much, they’re probably right up there with the lot of them, but one can dream.

Do you want nationalism? Because that seems like a good way to get it.

Well that was quite the read.

Essentially, these female cave flies are a real life succubus.
