😘

why does the assumption that there will be another presidential election persist?

Expected by whom? Did someone tell the Senate?

In a potentially concerning turn of events, I just now got my approval notice.

I submitted my renewal two weeks ago today. It was still working as previous at that time. You can get an updated picture at CVS. It took them 5 days to run the CC transaction. Expect, at least, the 6 weeks.

Global Entry renewal was effectively rubber stamped, but I did that a few years ago. YMMV.

despite your last few years of Elon glazing and irrational Starship propaganda, I had to give this a read. glad to see it is decidedly lacking in glazing though suspiciously lacking in direct criticism. at least some progress was made.

I can't believe he waited a whole two weeks to let Elon have his nazi denial tour.

Buddy, they needed to BEGIN treating this as an existential national emergency on Nov 5. Why wasn't there 10,000 lawsuits ready to be filed on Jan 21? The window is closed. The democrats have revealed themselves as gutless, windbag controlled opposition. As a party they are, at minimum, complicit.

at least they're not NHL

this one is a bit TOO on the nose.

I have 1/3 of the youtube live chat viewers blocked for being Luketose intolerant.

If you want to live in a fantasy in which checks and balances still exist or the law matters, i'm not going to be the one to change your mind.

and by whose sword would the heads roll?

I didn't say they have, but the entire department has been seized and a congressionally created agency dismantled. in both cases the security apparatus did nothing and the law has done nothing. the Constitution is vapor.

they already are and already have. have been for over a week. nobody is arrested or even restrained.

what does it matter when the people responsible to operate the (any) security apparatus just do what they are told by someone with no clearance or role in the government?

what if i'm one of those people who swoop in to multiple comment threads to post a silly non-sequiter gif regardless of the conversation currently being had.
