Which Republicans Could Vote For A Debt Ceiling Increase?

Any ones who don't want to risk being eaten one day by the feral hoardes that america turns into when no one is comfortable because our money's no good here anymore. My bet is, they're not really gonna do that play till they think Boston Dynamics has a fleet of body guard robots they think will be able to protect from the feral hoardes of angry desperate people they've spent the last 20 years psychologically torturing in cultural captivity.

I find the lack of specificity in communication about the toxic chemical train wreck in East Palestine Ohio problematic. The public needs a list of chemicals on board, expert chemists explaining outcomes when they combine, a specific list of chemicals being tested for, and documentation of test results. Just seeing politicians sipping water is not helpful. If I lived there I would leave if at all financially possible. And I’m not impressed with Trump’s political stunt either. He should invite the town to live at Trump tower until it’s sorted out if he actually cared.

The following post has been rated S for Sarcastic and has been approved for all audiences by the by the Forum Posters Association of America:

But if the Public had that they would get upset the wrong way. And in these trying times, what we all really need is to shut up and get back to work, we're costing corporations money with all this sissy concern for toxic fall out and bad infrastructure. What's next are you going to suggest that we actually feed the hungry and house the homeless rather than using them as object lessons for what happens to people who don't serve properly? How gauche. You sound like an artist with a sense of empathy, how unprofitable for someone.

But I was told....

How Social Science Might Be Misunderstanding Conservatives

A well-established model to explain right-wing beliefs is looking like it might be wrong.

... in addition to the peloria of shit that Jonathan Chait has vomited into word salads screaming about political correctness, one tweet isn't going to cut it.

Noticeably, ghouls like Jonathan Haidt have been totally silent on any of the recent right wing/GOP/conservative laws being passed, insane bills being proposed and right wing violence. And to think he insisted that "However, conservatives tend to be more tolerant of ideas and are more likely to discuss their ideas with those who oppose them."

lol
