Reddit was one of the most human places on the Internet, until King Steven the Turd decided that it's human interactions were a valuable resource that he could sell.

Now, it's all just bots talking to bots to learn how to sound human.

As outrageous as that sounds, I know a lot of professors/PhD's, and many of them are that clueless. They have a lot of very specific knowledge in their field, but may not have much practical knowledge about the rest of the world.

Still, this is the type of instance where revoking his visa may still be justified, even if he ended up having most of his other consequences suspended.

It sucks to be on the side of history that still tries to be reasonable, even while the other side goes full throttle and wouldn't give the same rational thinking any thought.

Maybe for reporters, but WaPo is on there the most and I will never trust them again.

It's not just someone getting an IV. It's the blatant lying when asked about it. Nobody gets a bruise like that by "shaking hands".

It's not a departure from its traditional focus on bribery

Maybe he really is this shitty. Remember that the guy who used to have this job retired a few months ago. Maybe this guy was picked to replace him because he's just as much of an asshole as the rest of them.

Still up, for now. Now that we all know it's an unauthorized take on Ghostbusters, Columbia Pictures might have an opinion on whether it should stay up....

Didn't Trump already pardon all of the Jan 6 ~~insurrectionists~~ peaceful protestors?

So, I was about to explain to our non-US people that the President's birthday happens to fall on two minor commerarive days: Flag Day, and the anniversary of the formation of the Continental Army, which gives Trump supporters a low-key way of honoring his birthday indirectly.

But nope, I had to go and look it up. You have to scroll a bit to find it, though:

June 14: Flag Day/President Trump's birthday

So, it seems like we are treating him like a King now.

Plus, they state that this free entry is limited to citizens and permanent residents. Furthermore, they are charging extra for others to visit even on non-free days.

I didn't make the graphic, I just stole/hotlinked it. I am very familiar with PA, although it's main redeeming quality is that it's not New Jersey.

That's not a thing here. The closest we have is a motion to vacate the speakers' chair.

These Republican women might be pissed off enough to do that, but then the House is thrown into chaos, like last time. And we would probably get someone even more batshit crazy as a new Speaker, like Jim Jordan or Nancy Mace.

Heck, the Speaker doesn't even technically need to be a House member. They could elect George Santos, as long as all Republicans agreed to it. Or Matt Gaetz. Trump himself got no small amount of votes the last time that happened.

 

A House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing ended abruptly Tuesday after Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) referred to Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender person elected to Congress, as “mister.”

Self, who chairs the subcommittee on Europe, introduced McBride as “the congressman from Delaware” during a hearing on arms control and U.S. assistance to Europe. McBride responded by calling Self “Madam Chair.”
