| 6ixStringJack: They've been doing a bang up job up to this point, what with all the people under 40 years old that are getting cancer these days. Half your diet is shit they used to oil machinery with in WWII. When we're dead we've got enough plastic in us to make a lego set. |
| second: Food Inspections? Why do we even have those to begin with? Not in Trump's America! Trump slashes regulations on the meat processing industry as food safety issues skyrocket. President Donald Trump announced an executive action to allow farmers and ranchers to process their own meat. • Why Do We Have Food Inspections?
• History: Laws began after Upton Sinclair's 1906 book The Jungle exposed gross and dangerous conditions in meat plants.
• Safety: Government checks stop dangerous germs like E. coli and Salmonella from reaching dinner plates.
• Trust: Rules ensure meat is clean, safe, and honestly labeled. But No Rules in Trump’s America! [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Oh good. Now you bat shit liberals are making poison pills with Trump's face on them because you're fucking psychotic. Everybody hates you Second. |
| second: Dutch health institute issues 'red alert' over Trump-shaped ecstasy pills [go to link] Users are being warned they could experience symptoms such as nausea, an increased heart rate and convulsions |
| second: Trump spoke to complete silence at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, not one person clapping or reacting to his brazenly partisan speech. Turns out when you put him in front of a room with an average IQ in the triple digits, the applause line just doesn't land. Some rooms don't fall for it.
• The Occasion: Donald Trump visited the Johnson Space Center in Houston to award the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the Artemis II crew.
• The Reaction: Video footage from the event showed the audience and the astronauts standing in blue flight suits giving little to no visible applause or reaction during portions of his remarks.
• The Response Online: Observers and commentators on social media highlighted the stony silence and lack of response to his talking points as a stark contrast to typical rally-style atmospheres. [go to link] |

| second: What Might Happen to Trump’s Ill-Gotten Gains?
Lessons from fallen autocrats.
Trump has abused his office to enrich himself and his family in ways that are completely unprecedented—not only in the United States but also in the history of almost any peer democracy. Only Silvio Berlusconi, Italy’s notoriously lawless former prime minister, was in any way comparable, and Berlusconi was sentenced to prison.
Americans are not accustomed to learning lessons about democracy from Nigeria, Peru, or the Philippines. That disregard may soon change. Those countries offer examples of what it looks like to reclaim stolen or swindled wealth from fallen authoritarian rulers. Done right, this work can deliver justice and strengthen democratic institutions for the long run.

| 6ixStringJack: To Shit Golem: So you've said a million times since 2015. Nobody gives a fuck, faggot. |
| second: Question: How does Trump renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America" help with the US cost of living crisis, loss of US jobs, high cost of US borrowing, war in Iran, poisoned US foods, rising US inflation, housing shortages, or anything at all? The Answer is at this link: [go to link] |
| second: To 6ixStringJoker: Trump has not released his tax returns for public scrutiny. Trump has not paid his taxes and does not want that fact proven. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Shut up, Shit Golem. You and I know full well that you don't believe Republicans ever held any of those virtues in high regard. You're just talking to talk again because you can't help yourself. Nothing but shit dribbling out of your rotted brain 24/7. |
| second: Many radio and television commentators, podcasters, and members of Congress were dedicated conservatives before Trump came along. They believed character was destiny and virtue mattered; they revered the rule of law, institutions, and norms; they championed free trade and free markets, fiscal responsibility, and a strong Western alliance; and they opposed patrimonialism, corruption, and lawlessness in the presidency. These same people had to surrender all those commitments and much more to support a cad like Trump, and they know it. The cost of speaking out against him, even when they knew better, was simply too high. They wanted to stay in the good graces of those in power. So they broke. And they know they broke.

| 6ixStringJack: I was wrong. It's a good thing that both of you losers took over the tags and flooded them with bullshit. Now you hardly post at all in the RWED anymore and shit up the place with your crap, and all your incorrect predictions, asinine opinions and waste of electrons just age off and disappear forever as they should. |
| 6ixStringJack: Also, Trump's approval rating in the RCP aggregate is 39.9 right now, with a favorability rating of 40.3, which is still higher than both the Republican Party and Democratic Party in general. So more fake news from Alternet via Shit Golem. |
| 6ixStringJack: I want Trump's name on the Kennedy Center. What now? |

Lake America my a*s! They are stealing our soldier and sailors paychecks to pay for the Iran war!!!

| second: Trump’s latest meltdown comes as his plans fall apart. In the last 24 hours, Trump has shared on Truth Social a chart declaring he is the greatest president, above George Washington and Abraham Lincoln; posted an AI-generated image of him walking arm-in-arm with Dolly Parton; declared the Strait of Hormuz ‘U.S. territory’ again; and enthusiastically announced that ‘the U.S. Geological Survey has officially designated the former Lake Ontario to be renamed as Lake America in all official USGS electronic documents.’ The sitting president — during a war, in the lead up to the midterms, during a period of great anxiety — is casually posting about how he’s the greatest president ever. I get that defenders think it’s brilliant because it’s trolling. That’s pathetic in its own right. But a president trolling about how awesome he is when his approval rating is in the low 30s isn’t smart, clever, or wise. It’s sad and disturbing. [go to link] |
| 6ixStringJack: Let's just call the Black Sea the White Sea. No reason to get fancy with it. As for the Cape of Good Hope, let's just call it the Cape of Despair. They murdered all the white farmers, gave the land to black people who didn't know how to run farms and now everyone is starving. The name is much more fitting. I agree with Paul that there are many more. I'll do the renames though because Paul sucks at it. |
6ixStringJack: I prefer changing the Pacific Ocean to the Belligerent Ocean. Paul is a shitty writer and his mom lied and called him witty all the time. You miss that, huh Shit Golem. Everyone who cared about your opinion out of obligation died on you a long time ago and everyone left hates you. 
Bummer, dude. |
