How is it possible that it’s not front page news when a man who soon may return to power calls for law enforcement to kill people for minor crimes? Who said the Joint Chief should be executed? Who said the way to stop forest fires was to water 800 million acres of forest?

Glass Cliff: "Hiring someone to come in & restore ad revenue & within a month completely destroying this hugely successful brand [Twitter]...he is sweeping the rug out from under the one job that his new CEO needs to do." - Dr. Christy Glass https://www.wired.com/story/linda-yaccarino-elon-musk-x/
Many Arab American voters feel betrayed by President Joe Biden's unequivocal support for Israel, and community leaders in Metro Detroit say there's nothing he can do to win them back.
The thing that pisses me off about attempts to defang regulatory agencies is they’re there for a reason. Nobody thought “what if people polluted, we better prevent that from ever starting”. The people who sold snake oil didn’t ask for permission. People polluted. People sold ineffective or outright dangerous “medicine”. Rules evolved. Agencies were needed to enforce those rules. AND NEW RULES HAD TO BE ADDED CONTINUALLY BECAUSE PEOPLE DID OTHER DAMAGING SHIT. LIKE THIS YEAR.

And here’s some press coverage of the post:
When people choose a guard dog, they're not looking for a friend or companion; they want a machine to turn loose on enemies--one that can inflict maximum damage.
That's today's GOP. Republican voters just want candidates who can inflict maximum damage. Likeability doesn't enter into it.
Jurors are going to be protected like this was a criminal case involving a mob boss.
This is for a civil case.
This says a lot about what Republicans are.

Update: Initial information indicates that some 133 people were killed across Karnali Province in Nepal. Several hundred more people have reportedly been injured. “These figures are preliminary, and concerns remain that actual figures may be higher, especially as the earthquake struck at a time when most people were likely to have been at home or otherwise indoors.” https://reliefweb.int/report/nepal/nepal-western-nepal-earthquake-2023-flash-update-no-01-04-november-2023-230-pm
