Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) called NIH cuts “devastating” for her state’s universities and labs.
I’ll never forget Susan claiming Trump learned his lesson after one of the impeachments last term. I’ll always loathe her for that.
And yet she voted to confirm RFK Jr.
I'll listen to her when she begins to vote against this madness
She’s just your standard issue republicunt. I’d put her well within one sigma.
well within one sigma
The internet and modern culture has ruined my statistics education.
Good. Fuck these dumbass rural Republicans.
Let them kill themselves off by dieing from preventable diseases by not getting vaccines, and let them kill off their women (who also voted Trump, dont get it twisted) by preventing abortion care. Let them force their own children into inevitable slave labor by removing education funding and child labor protection laws.
Fuck these dumb pieces of shit drowning us all by pulling us down to their depths, they don't deserve saving they don't deserve empathy, they don't deserve mercy, because if you pull them up with you, they will still be ungrateful hateful bigoted racist Christian fascists.
Theres a reason societal change is cyclical and repeats at about the exact average human life span. We literally need old "ideas" to die to make room for new ones.
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it," - Maxwell Planck
If you don't pull them up, you're going down anyway. Funnily enough, the things we smugly wish on others tend to come back around to us.
Something about an eye for an eye making the whole world blind.
You're absolutely right, everything that will effect those that voted for this will also effect those that didn't vote for this
I think blue states and cities are in abusive relationships with the real Welfare queens: the right wing and Maga.
Huge amounts of money are sent from blue to red areas constantly. State legislators spend city revenues on the rural right wing, and our federal representatives send money from the productive blue states to the Welfare queen red states that do little but take, complain about the liberals who are funding their lifestyle, and then continue to push our country further to the right.
One solution to this is like dealing with any relationship with an abuser: cut them off in every way possible. Blue cities and counties should refuse to send money to red counties and let the Maga snowflakes pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Blue states should do everything in their power to stop sending revenue through the federal government to red states. Take their power away from them.
Maybe some experience of what happens when their generous neighbors stop putting up with their shit might make a difference.
You’ve got my vote!
The leopard's obesity problem is spiraling!
Niiice
The weekly show had a good segment with Mark Cuban he really lays out some solid discussion on how the progressive side of politics for business. https://youtu.be/bnhxbZlvMRQ
Sweet. Fuck the lot of 'em.
Hmm corps time to buy land cheap?
I mean yeah the whole point of all of this is for the rich and powerful to get more rich and powerful, so that’s exactly what’s going to happen
Rural Americans are the ones with the most guns... I'm hoping some of them shoot the leopard before it eats their face.
