Q for marketing execs: if I buy that exercise machine you’ve been flogging to death, will it come with that empty 2000sf workout studio with glass walls high-up in a forest of serene sun-dappled trees? Asking for a guy with a dark, junk-filled basement with occasional cobwebs.

This just seems to be a metaphor for the United States in general: after this MAGA craziness burns itself out, there is going to be so much tacky billionaire gilding to rip out that it could take ages to clean up.

Must be nice having a leader that can speak in complete sentences and respects their country enough to keep its government open for business.

It’s still shocks me that one person can keep Congress out of session perpetually. Where the fuck is that written in the constitution?
When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Turns out there is no such thing as “law” if the president decides there is no such thing as “law.” When all of law-enforcement is owned by one guy, and Congress shrugs and says “whaddya gonna do ‘bout it” like some kind of mob goon, that’s it for the Republic. Kiss it goodbye.

So… in the eyes of this administration… the only reason for the health care system to even exist is to make sure you can work harder and buff the GDP. Wow.
Dr Oz: "We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That's the goal of the health system."

Here we go. The next huge epidemic in the USA will be entirely self-inflicted by ideologically-induced ignorance. The GOP is burning down the modern-day equivalent of the Library of Alexandria. And a third of the country is cheering it on while the rest of us with no political power are horrified.
“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Apart from the fact this never happens, it’s just weird that these conservatives always wrap their arms around pregnant women. As if pregnant women aren’t MORE at risk under their policies, not LESS. Further, once the child is born, you can fuck right off with your desire for paid parental leave.
Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."
