The party that wants to ban abortion to "save the children" has just condemned, quite literally millions of, children around the world to slow and agonising deaths from entirely treatable illnesses.
They actually mean just unborn American children, everyone else is a savage to them.
And by American you of course mean white and cishet. The only people they think are people.
Which, hard to tell while unborn, but it doesn't matter because it's really about controlling women.
"save the ~~children~~ fetuses"
Not even about the fetus. It's about control.
Specifically, control of women, their bodies and their freedom.
Of course it's not about the children. Children can go to work at Macdonald's. 🤷
An unelected official is seizing control of our government departments and transforming them how he sees fit. Where have I seen this before? Hmmmm
Who is this guy anyway?
Serious question for America. Maybe if you write it down it’ll stick.
An illegal nazi immigrant edge lord from Africa with daddy issues.
This is the most accurate description I have heard to date.
He wanted to be a war lord but all he's got is a dull edge
Also, currently the most powerful person in the world.
The one that bought the country
Everything is always beyond repair to this fuckstick. I think he may just be horrible at everything.
"Repairability" of anything is often correlated with skill level. Everything is beyond repair if you don't know what you're doing.
Never thought of repairability this way. Weirdly helped with some anxiety I've been having recently. Thank you random internet person.
You got it!
Very great way to put it. Applies in so many contexts. I see the exact same kind of thing at work - some seagull manager cannot understand an existing thing, but wants to effect some kind of change, often will insist on replacing it.
By the time the impact of their stupid decision starts to hit, they'll be long gone...probably being paid even more extravagantly...
And also if you hate it and want an excuse to throw it out.
Um, I know we are beyond any kind of laws and norms here, but in their fictional universe/head canon, how can an agency that is not a real government agency shut down a real agency?
By being more willing to inflict violence than the people trying to defend it.
It’s the supercharger team issue all over again - if someone has the gall to say no, throw a tantrum and fire them all. We’ll see if anyone wants to be hired back
The supercharger team was a long term dominance item that would be key to the business so you don’t shut them down during high growth. In this case it’s probably as simple as someone taking their responsibilities to the government and country seriously. Access to confidential data is not a good place to shortcut your process
I laughed at the ball of worms. He's talking as if he did a deep technical analysis over the past *cough* 1 day to come to this logical unbiased conclusion. The man was on a mission without regard to anything to burn it down since who knows when.
Warm up the guillotines, boys.
Nationalize everything Musk owns
Times like these I wish @elonjet did more than track that effer's plane
