So looks like now we’re going to have two sets of laws in the US - laws for blue states and laws for red states. Cool cool cool. <starts looking up apartment availability in Chicago>

So what confirmation exists that there is a ceasefire, other than Trump’s own words? Because I don’t know about you, but the historic ratio of truth to bullshit is pretty low with this one.

Well, thank goodness all public high school students will have to take the ASVAB once the BBB is passed! I was super worried we wouldn’t have enough poors to feed the WWIII machine but it’s all so seamless #NoWar

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to 20g a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to 20g a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only 24 hours?”
