I knew it was a long shot but it was the first thing that came to mind when I read the lyric…

You’re not thinking of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen are you?

Nothing really matters, anyone can see 
Nothing really matters 
Nothing really matters to me

The first sentence of the first rule of the community is “Post only links to articles”.

If they can’t be bothered to follow the rules of the community there’s little chance I’d engage with the content of the post 🤣

So I guess Lemmy doesn’t have post length limits?

I may have injured my thumb scrolling…

I think it was a joke.

Also, it’s because it takes more shrimp to make a pound of headless shrimp than head-on shrimp.

Former CNN, Fox News and MSNBC journalist David Shuster, who has been closely following Epstein-related developments in Washington, wrote Tuesday that official House rules stipulate that discharge petitions can’t be voted on until after seven legislative days which roll over after the speaker gavels the House back into session after an adjournment. And once those seven legislative days have passed, the speaker has a 48-hour window to schedule the vote.

However, the approaching Thanksgiving recess means that the full floor vote on the Massie-Khanna discharge petition will have to be delayed a little longer. According to the 2025 House work calendar on House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s (R-La.) website, the House will not be in session after November 20. Lawmakers are not set to return to Washington D.C. until December 1.

Feels like a lot of time for Don John to coerce some Rs to flip

I think it’s the difference between what is “known” and what can’t be denied.

I assume this was coordinated with Democrats conceding on the funding bill now that Johnson will be signing in the Arizona rep who will be the deciding vote to release the Epstein files.

And think of the knock on effects. If this motivates even just one kid rock fan to leave…

Thank you for your service Kid Rock 🫡

They already left…

The Reddit scam always involved multiple accounts to circumvent the rules.

One account would post the shirt and a second account would invariably post a link to where they “found” a link to buy it.

Then there would be a veritable army of collaborators that wouldn’t post and just downvote anyone who called it out into oblivion.

Unfortunately the only solution I can come up with would be to ban commerce links altogether. …which sucks for authentic users.

ETA: I forgot they would sometimes run the scam with a third account that would ask where it could be bought for the link posting account to reply to.

Even when it’s just a meme on a tshirt template?

That’s how you make a meme-on-a-tshirt-template mill.



🤔
Now that I think about it I guess shirt that goes hard it just a meme that goes hard on a tshirt though?

I think the sub needs to protect itself from spam. Reddit was notorious for the T-shirt scammers and they’re already starting to come around here.

I dont know what the solution is, but maybe no self promotion/commerce links would be a start?

That’s a great point.

I guess this is because DHS/ICE got all the funding and this frees up the DOJ to pursue time and resource sinks like Sandwich Guy?

There has been discussion of using state administered escrow accounts to temporarily hold federal taxes revenue:

Further enshrining this as the Trump shutdown

Republicans hate when people from blue states move to red states, even if they are republicans. They think they bring the liberal stink with them

I mean we kinda do. I moved from a blue state to a red state and man; I didn’t realize how good I had it. Now I want to make things better here.

I have to imagine at least some republicans come to the same conclusion too.
