In grade school, I was told that naming modern-day Greenland “Greenland” was a deliberate decision made with the intent of luring people into moving there. Marketing, basically. Don’t know how true that was, and I don’t remember any mention of Vikings.

This headline irritates me. If it was a person, I’d tell it to fuck off for assuming I use AI.

Virtually the same thing he says about AI could be said about climate change.

I know your point is serious, but reading about the pathetic turnout for his ridiculous parade made me chuckle.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Okay, relatively minor point here, but doesn’t this seem like an odd closing sentence? This is how you end a letter to a cereal maker when you find a Fruit Loop in your Cheerios. It’s not how you end a tweet when you’re talking about assassinating a major political/cultural figure and possibly triggering WWIII.

In my area, sometimes I’ll see people selling MAGA shit by the side of the road. I’ve considered doing it and sending the proceeds to the ACLU or the Southern Poverty Law Center.

More than you think, especially when you have to constantly replace the crayons. People will eat them.

I use Germany (appropriately, I think) as my tool for comparison.

It took Germany generations to overcome the pariah status and national shame caused by Hitler. Granted, the U.S. hasn’t started a war or Holocaust (yet), but we’re directly supporting and encouraging one, and the mass deportations are a sort of “Holocaust lite”. Plus, I think there’s a good chance that we’ll end up attacking Iran.

It’s going to take about sixty years of continuous, uninterrupted “good behavior” for the U.S. to regain any credibility, and that’s just counting what Trump has pulled so far. Still, I don’t think the U.S. will ever be able to completely outlive this.

If it was a quote, I would have used the quote feature, like this:

People began shouting for the agents to leave him alone and told the man not to sign anything.

Sorry for the confusion.

“Let HIM go, and we’ll let YOU go.” Seems fair.

That was fast.

Anyone who puts down a “deposit” on this should be declared mentally incompetent.

I’m in favor of anything that makes these dipshits more conspicuous. Trump bumper sticker? There’s no way I’m pulling over to help you if you’re stuck on the side of the road. MAGA hat? Then I don’t have a problem saying no to their perfectly reasonable request.

These people are helping destroy my country, and the Constitution. By continuing to display this propaganda, they’re telling everyone that they’re proud of it. I’ll let them pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Daughter: Daddy, why do you work for the people who kidnapped Mommy? Correa: I don’t, sweetheart. I’m in the Army. The Army doesn’t deport people. ICE does. Daughter: They both take orders from the president, though, right? Correa: well, yeah. Daughter: So, why do you work for the man who ordered ICE to kidnap Mommy? Correa: …

Trump loves the uneducated, right?

Well, no shit. If bigots got their wish, and could wave a magic wand to deport all “undocumented immigrants” instantly (or immigrants with documents Trump doesn’t approve of), large swaths of the economy would collapse overnight. Employers who had gotten rich exploiting the vulnerable would suddenly be forced to pay competitive wages. America as we know it would abruptly become very different.

…and the other half insists on learning the hard way.

I agree. Perhaps it’s because he’s looking at the camera? I’m not sure.

EDIT: yeah, that’s it! He’s doing a low-key version of that Jim Halpert smirk from The Office.

#5 is either stoned or participating ironically, possibly both. #3 was talked into this, and is now regretting his choice.

His apparent boner is making a statement of its own.
