By virtue of the fact that up until just a few months ago, you could even go there and casually peruse security sensitive and classified information if only you found the right bathroom, I guess you could say it was priceless.

This makes me wonder if team Trump isn’t preemptively muddying the waters for pending news of Trump’s inevitable death. I wonder if Trump got a prognosis recently and this is just a type of staw poll taken about how ready and willing the GOP would accept a replacement name on the ticket.

I guess you missed it when the story was broken that apparently Nancy Reagan used to give epic jobbers.

But no school district in Texas who stupidly thinks that chaplains should work in public schools would knowingly hire Satanists when there are probably many Christian denomination chaplains available.

Different story if the only applicant is a Satanist, but the district just declares the search as failed without interviewing the Satanist. Then it’s a matter of religious discrimination in the hiring process for that one individual.

I can’t think of any situation in which the actual chaplain at any given school could challenge this law to the point it starts moving through the courts.

To get into the court system, some parents are going to have to sue. I’m predicting a Jewish family, Muslim family, or Bahai family raising suit after the WASP chaplain starts evangelizing to the non-believers.

This is funny, but not true. The federal government turns off servers and electronics after business hours in accordance with power-saving measures enacted by President Jimmy Carter.

Carter installed solar panels onto the White House in the late 70s, early 80s. Reagan came in and dismantled them.

Of course he said that because if Trump is disqualified because of J6, then so would also half the GOP’s varsity team from Congress. I think if all of Trump’s in-government co-conspirators (just to name a few, but not an exhaustive list: Meadows, Scott, Hawley, Boebert, Gaetz, Greene, etc.) were expelled and never allowed to return to government, I’m pretty sure at least half those seats would go to middle of the road Democrats (I mean at least Boebert’s seat, minimum) and the GOP would lose their razor thin margin in the Senate.

I think this is one of the many major reasons Pence keeps towing this line for Trump.

Absolute lack of self awareness. Like, what does it mean if the criticism is coming from both the left and now the right about how blind the loyalty is to this orange fascist? They’re desperate to link DeSantis and Hillary, but don’t you think DeSantis also stands to benefit from conservatives’ blind loyalty. When even he is trying to be the wake up call, and they reject it… Good God.

America. Where others’ enjoyment of looking at your pregnant body is more important than what you can do with your own body.

Tagging @ernest in case instance owners don’t have a larger community in which they share news like this with each other.

Possibly dumb question, but are you u/PoppinKream???

Have a problem with it? Take it up with the union, bub.

I’m surprised!!!

I am aware that this has been covered, but I have to maintain the belief that much like the US Postal Service, the federal government will continue to foot the bill regardless.

I am reading this and commenting from kbin.social.

I hear you and agree that reddit was peak awful in the past few years, but I do in my heart of hearts want a reddit-like experience.

What I think is intriguing about the Fediverse is that it almost doesn’t matter how many people seem to be on any on instance because they mostly talk to each other.

I commented elsewhere two weeks ago that I think reddit’s redesign attracted a bunch of users who were looking for a facebook-like experience, and at the risk of falling into the false dichotomy of normies vs redditors, I think the redesign brought too many normies who didn’t want to learn reddiquette. I think something that will help kbin immensely is how (I say this lovingly) ugly and mostly featureless it is. There aren’t bells and whistles to make it an attractive draw for any other reason besides you want to be here and engage the content and community.

I do hope that as many of these early instances who seem to be “in it” for the right reasons quickly and unequivocally defederate from instances started up by companies like Meta, though.

I think prospects of going public via IPO were tanked when a tech giant like Google is publicly venturing opinions about the platform.

Wouldn’t this at least advance her career for a possible SCOTUS nomination?
