I read somewhere that essentially lethal injection was being paralyzed, not sedated, and then given a heart attack.

I think if someone stops fucking fighting and accepts their sentence, they earned a chance at a dignified death
The general mix is sodium thiopental for sedation and general anesthesia, pancuronium bromide as a paralytic (which stops breathing), and some variety of potassium (generally potassium chloride) to throw the heart into V-Fib and eventually asystole.

Interestingly enough, the first two components; an anesthetic sedative and a paralytic, are the same principle behind rapid sequence intubation where we need to get an airway in a conscious person in the field. We put them to sleep and stop their autonomic breathing, we just don't push a ton of potassium to stop their heart after.
 
No need to ponder the orb of doom too much.
It is more fun to mock Fedditers.

“Well Mr. Elon, on Monday I got to work at 10 am because my cuzin wasn’t able to pick up dem kids early and then I did some filin’ til about 10:30 when my sista called. She’s having trouble with her baby daddy so it was importenant. Then I clocked out fo lunch about noon and I came back at 2:00 as quick as possible. At 3:00, I started to file again…”*

, even DC strayed pretty fair from the original intent. It was just supposed to be a place where people came to conduct business while Congress was in session, most of the time Congressmen were supposed to be in their home states working with the people who elected them. DC wasn't supposed to be a full-on city where people lived their entire lives, let alone being made into a state
Which is why I'm all for Trump basically making Mar-A-Lago his white house, and starting a tradition that each president has a different place for their office.

It was intended to be the Winter White House, but the government gave it back to the builder's estate because of the maintenance costs. Donald Trump then acquired it. Acquiring the Winter White House with a view toward becoming the president and making that title actually true is something that 999 times out of a 1000 would be considered foolish. But Trump actually did it.

He should treat it as his White House, because that's what it was intended to be. And it keeps him out of the swamp of DC. It's probably much safer for Trump to be in Palm Beach than DC.
 
I'm going to die of laughter if the pope dies from ebola or some shit brought to europe by all the goat fuckers.
It’s even funnier. He talked shit about JD Vance and bitches about Trump deporting the hordes. It seems God has rendered his judgement for that blasphemy.
You can care about the stock market, or you can care about solving wealth inequality through taxation. You can't care about both.
That’s generous of you. The doomers who drop in to post the most low effort bullshit don’t actually care about anything. Yet people feel the need to give them attention anyway.

Everyone is well aware of my superstitious side about Trump enduring a heavenly tribulation. Trump also hasn't been shy about giving God the glory both for his victory and for saving his his life.

If you were get a few drinks in me I would probably happily tell the guy sitting next to me at the bar that the Almighty struck down the Pope for challenging his plans. Especially since the Pope claims similar divine mandates in his proclamation.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord your God in vain is one of the Commandments after all.
 
I'm curious if you guys are experiencing the same thing I am, or if this is a more anecdotal experience for me.

Ever since the inauguration, anyone I know who is remotely left leaning has turned a complete fucking politisperg. It was slow at first, maybe a comment every few days through January. Now it's reaching a fever pitch. Multiple times a day they have to sperg and rant about how much they hate dumpf.
My own anecdotal experience is the same for me: far more anti-Trump politisperging this time around compared to his first term.

make it less fucking rare
I think it happens more often but just isn't publicized. I know of a former restaurant owner who had a suprise I-9 audit that revealed some of his good, long-time employees were illegals, but the audit and its final outcome were never publicized AFAIK.

Did you know government shutdowns are optional? as in, not required at all even with out a continuance or budget? until 1980 under jimmy carter when the govt. had no budget it did not shutdown. it just continued operating until the budget was passed.
I've always wondered why goverent couldn't just keep operating until a budget was passed with any adjustments made to staffing/funding made as appropriate. The shutdowns seem to be more of a recent partisan tactic intended to blame the opposing party for the shutdown/stalemate - even if that move ends up backfiring in terms of public perception.
 
Who is going to use the condoms?

The kids will do what kids have always done with condoms in schools. Make water bombs, or unroll them over a 20oz soda, shake, and launch. It really is quite spectacular to see a condom full of Dr. Pepper foam launch across a jr high school cafeteria. Ah, memories...

The point is, they will be used for mischief and mayhem, not for their manufactured intent of bagging the bone.

There's a Yakov Smirnoff joke here somewhere.
In Progressive America, Nigger tells YOU to read a book!
They are coming to Canada now.
Are you telling me that Canadian news media doesn't have obnoxious moralistic seething over Canada catching migrants like pokemon fleeing from the evil heckin maga reich?

Well, how about that? Guess that only works on one side of the line, EH?

Autopsies on lethal injection inmates suggest they drown on their lung fluids. They don't die via the drugs or heart attack. It's not ethical. Just shoot the bastards.
 
Gold was $20.67 in 1929. The DJIA was 18.4 troy oz. of gold (381.17 / $20.67). Gold closed about $2,935 on Thursday, That day, the DJIA closed at 44,624.42, but that's only 15.2 troy oz. of gold.
Help me understand as I assume you have a very good point here. The US dropped the gold standard in 1970, 71. 72, one of those. So what you’re saying is that even with the mass inflation we’ve had for the USD, it has outperformed what it would have done if we stuck with gold?
 
Welp looks like there are layoffs at the Forest Service.


Once again worth reminding everyone, that the forest service manages controlled burns on federal lands, and produces public comprehensive reports on the state of the lumber trade, and threats to the production of American wood products. They also manage potential threats to infrastructure based on forest conditions, plus service a massive amount of roads.

10/10 would be retarded again.

Second best news I've heard today. Let nature take its course.
