Yes. Because then they can argue the parks aren't needed and are just a drain on the federal budget. Then they'll carve it all up into parcels for sale to the highest donor, er, um, bidder.

To be fair, you're probably going to be installing an irresistible cat jungle gym, and then asking your cat to refrain from trying it out.

I'm beginning to think the end of Homo sapiens will occur because of a basic inability to grasp the exponential function. Especially in all the complex components affecting climate change.

Yes! I have yet to see *any* evidence that he's not Putin's asset.

Like he gives a damn.

Exactly. Can't prove a negative, but can state "All evidence to date, in scientific studies, indicates no causative relationship between vaccination and autism."

Never in an effing million years.

Why would he start now? Stochastic terrorism is his thing.

On behalf of Missouri voters, thank you. We have passed measure after measure via voting, and the state legislature doesn't care what the voters want, or implement what the voters demand. (And they redistricted without much of a fig leaf of justification.)

Nope. When someone votes, the parties to choose among are on the ballot. Too many people have voted blindly R for too long. And the GOP deserves to have the MAGA movement hung around its neck like a rotting albatross.

Polonium poisoning is a particularly Russian way to go.

You are not alone. It's overwhelming. If it helps you get through, know that they *want* you to despair and give up.

Refuse, emphatically, to give them what they want.

(Be sure to take mental health breaks for yourself, when needed.)

Yes. Ignorant people are generally easier to manipulate and control.

For no reason at all? Really? Greed by the large donor class isn't a reason?

All of these decisions being implemented are Putin's wet dream. All he had to do was convince FOTUS that he would look strong by doing so.

Putin has wanted to weaken the US as a world power for decades, but wars are expensive. He is doing it without firing a shot, with a useful idiot at the wheel.

In this administration? Apparently so. Unfortunately, whether actions are rooted in incompetence, ignorance, or malfeasance, the end result is similar.

For a disturbingly high percentage of people, a feeling of belonging is more important than understanding or reasoning.

Paul Rudd is an entertaining and endearing guest on the TV show Hot Ones. The photography tricks he demonstrates on the episode are particularly memorable.
