My son and I having a nuanced conversation about the #awsoutage

IRL

Huge pivot by Indiana's AG Todd Rokita.

Q: "What are you doing to help with affordable housing, especially for seniors or those with disabilities?"
A: "Yeah, it sucks all around right now. Whatchagonnado."

I think this was about Social Security. I think.

Q: Should Ukraine be admitted into NATO or guaranteed protection against Russia?
A: UN is corrupt. All options are on the table.

Hey here's another one where someone asks if immigrants to the US are entitled to due process (the answer is "yes," #victoriaspartz answer is "no.")

"...but I'm sure they wouldn't actually do that" you might say. BUT EVIDENTLY WE TOTALLY DID in November of 1952. We blew up Elugelab Island, thought to ourselves "hey this is way easier than bulldozers" and brushed the falling radioactive coral and seawater from our suitcoats.

I know it can seem like we live in the dumbest era sometimes... but I submit a 196's supplement for World Book that suggests blowing up portions of Panama to create a second even cooler canal.

"Deterrents to such a nuclear-dug canal are mainly political" claims the author.
