I like this.

But I want a tax on university endowments for student debt relief

you start organzing flight ops to bomb schools full of children and hospitals full of sick people you will have piltos telling you to go fuck yourself so much faster than you realize

super easy to say that behind a keyboard there are very few pilot level candidates who will willingly bomb civillians.

Schools and hospitals my guy? fucking quit being a pussy and advocate for nuclear arms use en mass if your going to go that way.

Sorry, not trying to be MATI, just irks me bad when people so callously talk about putting the torch to CITYS like Sun Tzu himself dident preach how terrible putting a city itself to siege is

They will follow orders, or they will be removed for Mutiny, that is how the military works. If they are told to bomb schools and hospitals, they will bomb them, that is the entire point of the military.

There's another protest at my college today. Normally I wouldn't even notice, but the teacher just straight up left the class to join it. In fact, this rally was joined by the president of the college and most of the staff.

There was no notification about it either. I think they were banking on people like me showing up and just... joining the rally because they were already there. Thankfully I could just go get a burrito instead during that time. If you hear something on the news about "an incredible student turnout!!!" Just keep this in mind.

what you get on your burrito

Nothin' but love my fellow autist, but you're not winning this one. It creates TWO failure points. The original, and the archive. That's the point.

Three, if we have a screenshot too!

Plus it has wonderful side effects, like depriving some of the most annoying fuckers in the world of clicks and ad views.

The United States, not the Soviet Union, was the most important country in WWII:

Nah it was Germany.

But I'll enjoy a nationalist party any day.

I geniunely wonder, what would happen if the Democrats said "fuck it" and started cursing out/fedposting in unison on social media/on the floor. Like.. they'd get impeached I'd assume?

Trump's DOJ asked the Supreme Court to declare that Hawaii law forbidding the carrying of guns of private property is unconstitutional

Gordon Chang is a national treasure and a model for Chinese American contrition.

Be like him if you want to stay

Damn, maybe you shouldn't have stabbed Trump in the back so deeply the knife came out the other side if you wanted him to consider your opinion, Mikey.

I'm debating between living in one of five places:
- Minneapolis City (downtown), Minnesota
- Seattle City (downtown), Washington
- Urbana, Illinois
- Bloomington, Indiana
- Morgantown, West Virginia
Which would you all choose? I'm leaning towards Illinois, not too urban but not too rural

Why not Florida at all? or the south?

 

[ascension failure]

Getting rid of CPB won't do anything to larger city PBS and NPR affiliates, but it will likely result in a bunch of tiny rural stations going dark.

It will if it takes all the small stations offline, because PBS and NPR get paid membership fees and payments for syndicated content, so there's less money to pay for PBS and NPR generally and syndicated content specifically.

Ironic he said this considering the huge alarm he gave Trump not to trust him last election.

Way too hot - I could add Tallahassee or Blacksburg VA to the list but I cba relative to the others

If I had to choose from one of those places I'd be debating about living, too

PBS is less bad but I could take 'em or leave 'em, only thing is they'll pull the same shit they did with Mitt

I've always had a soft spot for Nova

 

[Imperial Citizen]

The order doesn’t direct NPR or PBS to do anything. The order is asserting control over the board of the CPB. Given that the CPB board is appointed by the president, the argument will be that the CPB is under the Executive Branch and thus can be made subject to an executive order.

The problem is that Trump’s order is based on 47 U.S.C. 396(f)(3), which states that the CPB can’t contribute or support any political party or candidate for office.

Where the hell is any proof that PBS or NPR are part of a political party?

Is NPR biased? Yes, their journalists are left-wing and their articles are critical of conservatives. But the law does not say that the CPB can’t fund a biased news organization, only that it can’t support a political party or candidate.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

Dude, you can feel this article's author seething through the damn screen. The Finance Minister was asked a question, gave a response, and this dipfuck is acting like he just threatened to shoot Trump in the head.

A curious point Trump made in the EO was pointing out that the services PBS and NPR were created for are kinda now covered by things such as YouTube
