I've made it a game of copy/pasting entire statements Republican politicians have made about healthcare into threads about police brutality and civil rights and getting multi-day suspended.
He's still polling pretty well for a notorious child rapist and trafficker, and potentially worse.
It's everything that pizza-gate was, pizza-gate was the mis-information campaign designed to normalize, and muddy the information that was going to eventually come out.
Ideally they can keep his heart pumping juuuuuust enough so he continues to miss floor votes but won't get replaced by someone that can has mobility.
The US is now literally run by a gang of pedophiles and child traffickers. Thanks mitch.
Some people are so unbelievably stupid it's sad. On the other hand, there's very little difference in taste/texture versus non-pasteurized milk, some people think they prefer the taste of raw milk when what they're really enjoying is non-homogenized milk, which is still pasteurized.
My parents are in that range, but I'd say they're even worse off; facebook is my mom's primary news source and my dad [rightly] thinks they're all propaganda and only watches historical documentaries. Perhaps that's the intent, but our society doesn't have any actual agreed upon source of actual news anymore. News in 2026 is just your favorite talking head talking to your preexisting notions and making you feel validated.
It's all a scam that would be investigated in normal times. Tesla's cars and robots will need AI to function (albeit xAI seems to be failing spectacularly), and xAI is hemorrhaging cash, but he loses leverage over Tesla's board if the AI division went to the Tesla. SpaceX investors should be pissed they're going to be carrying it now, and Tesla investors should be pissed as well.
I can see Schumer now, giving a forceful floor speech, his fist in the air, half-glasses on the podium, "rest assured, this matter is not concluded!" Then promptly voting yes with a promise from republicans that we'll vote on something else later maybe.
We laugh, but it's a power move on his part, that's how he sees it at least. Could also be from the stimulants. Or long term damage from that tent stake. Or all of the above. What a wild timeline.

I was a grad student in NC, I'd (white guy) be sitting alone at the bar having a Guinness, couple other whites dudes take a seat, start chatting, 75% of the time the racial jokes start after the second beer.
