How did chicken abortions and cow titty milk become such a large part of our diet. Neither animal exists naturally without humans. My wife is vegetarian and eats dairy and eggs, so I have at her all the time.

The dairy cartel is powerful and convinced us we need it.

Adult mammals do not need milk.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has mandated that all scientific manuscripts produced by its researchers that are under review at a journal be withdrawn so that certain language relating to gender can be stripped from them.

...

According to a copy of the e-mail, shared in the newsletter Inside Medicine, manuscripts must not include any mention of terms including ‘gender’, ‘transgender’, ‘pregnant person’, ‘transsexual’ and ‘non-binary’, among others. CDC scientists who co-author papers originating from outside the agency that include these terms are also expected to rescind their authorship.
Apparently Trump's also had the 'T' removed from LGBT on govt websites too.

The hate...

They've already started using Guantanamo as an extrajudicial camp, small step from sending deportees without a destination to sending undesirable Americans, since they wouldn't technically be leaving US soil

Important work being done, stripping out "accessibility" because you wouldn't want to have policies for them damn cripples to get around their work place.


Example of a disabled person who shouldn't be accommodated.

Next time, the phrasing will be how these people are a drain on our resources and that they need to be 'dealt with'.

Google Nazi T4 programs if you have the stomach for it. We are going down a path as a society.

I was just making fun of Trump's ridiculous apple story. Probably a swing and a miss. I don't know why I thought it was funny.

Remove the ramp and the wheels from Greg Abbotts wheelchair, should fix the accessibility issue quickly.

President Trump declared on Tuesday that Palestinians had no choice but to leave Gaza because of the devastation wrought by Israel’s war with Hamas. His comments, which came shortly before he welcomed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to the White House, seemed to indicate that Mr. Trump wanted to find a new homeland for the Palestinians rather than reconstruct Gaza.
So, forced relocation of people who are essentially refugees, but no indication of where they should go (NOT America) or who should help them do this. Fun times.

There were a lot of people, I'm thinking specifically of places like Deerborn, Michigan which has a significant middle eastern muslim population, who were so upset at Biden's treatment of the war in Gaza that they just had to vote for Trump instead. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

The fact they somehow believed that was in their best interests is just completely stunning to this day. A real FAFO moment.

Eggs aren't really chicken abortions. They are more like chicken periods.

Resettle the Jews back to Europe, settle the Palestinians in one of America's deserts, and give Palestine to the Crusaders. Finally peace in the Middle East. Only option at this point.


/sarcasm, because it needs to be said these days.

Okay.. so news roundup for today includes:
  • Trump admin has signed a deal with El Salvador to hold "hardened" criminals (Americans) in a super duper max prison. You just know the list of people who will end up here is going to grow real quick - https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/ameri...hnk/index.html
  • Gaza should be demolished since Israel has obliterated it, and Palestinians will be forcibly relocated. BTW Iran refuses to take them - https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...-resettlement/
  • Members of Congress have been denied entry to the US Treasury because DOGE is refusing them access and is believed to have installed a backdoor to access it remotely (no way that's secure) by a handful of first year engineers - no news links on this yet but Jasmine Crockett is one of several members of congress who are live trying to get in - https://bsky.app/profile/acyn.bsky.s.../3lhf3ndd3xk2t

It's a coup baby.. This is an INTERNATIONAL crisis, and Canada needs to move quickly because the US judicial system is definitely going to break down here. They're 100% going to ignore any court orders and the GOP are complicit in allowing it to happen. We're watching the US crumble before our eyes.

The speed at which they’re descending into fascism is shocking. It’s only been two weeks FFS. We think it’s bad now, imagine what that country is going to look like in 4 years. The America we once knew is already gone, and I’m not sure they could ever come back from this. It’s terrifying.
