Someone on reddit is accusing Lindsey Graham of killing their dog. Which, with the GOP’s track record on pet ownership, I wouldn’t put it past him…
r/TrueOffMyChest • 97 people here Lindsey Graham killed my dog CONTENT WARNING: VIOLENCE/DEATH Hi! I'm in a fcked up situation. Throwaway due to privacy reasons. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. I live near Clemson, SC. I have/had two 10 year old beautiful dogs - Bella and Maggie that would roam around freely. They hardly ever barked, they've never bitten anyone, they got along with other dogs and people. They are literally my life, I got them as puppies. Yesterday my dogs were outside playing while I was cooking. Then I heard one of them acting strange and barking. It was Maggie, she was alone, I couldn't find Bella. I went looking for her, calling her name. I saw my neighbor - Lindsey Graham (yes, THAT Lindsey) in his yard and asked if he'd seen my dog. He said yes and pointed at something on the ground. It was Bella, her back was covered in blood. My heart dropped, he started yelling she was on his land and other stuff but I don't remember much of it. I took Bella to an emergency vet, she was struggling to breathe and couldn't walk. They X-rayed her and found several pellets lodged in her abdomen and they found the entrance wound. She died about 4 hours later. When I got home, I called the police and told them what happened. They arrived shortly after, I explained what happened and they went to get Lindsey Graham's story. When they came back, they said there was nothing they could do. She was on his property.

Despite the Leopards Eating Faces memes on Reddit, it feels like vast swathes of Americans are just collectively shrugging our democracy away. A woman I briefly worked a retail job with posted this and it seems to be the average Trump voter’s attitude in these parts. Even my libby boomer partner

The $1.5 billion sale crippled Red Lobster. After the real estate was sold, Red Lobster had to pay rent on stores it had previously owned, significantly increasing its costs. According to the bankruptcy filing, by 2023 its rents totaled $200 million a year or approximately 10% of its revenues.

From the Onion: As for the vitamins and supplements, we are halting their sale immediately. Utilitarian logic dictates that if we can extend even one CEOs life by 10 minutes, diluting these miracle elixirs for public consumption is an unethical waste. Instead, we plan to collect the entire stock of the 'InfoWars' warehouses into a large vat and boil the contents down into a single candy bar-sized omnivitamin that one executive (I will not name names) may eat in order to increase his power and perhaps become immortal.

Although changes to government spending typically require an act of Congress, Trump aides are exploring plans to challenge a 1974 budget law to wrest the power to unilaterally adopt the Musk commission's proposals, one of the people said. It is unclear if Trump will ask Congress to approve changes to the budget law or first appeal to the courts to do so, though aides have previously endorsed either approach. Ramaswamy, a former pharmaceutical executive who has said he would "stop funding agencies that waste money" and don't operate on meritocratic principles, has publicly called on Congress to repeal the law and has suggested workarounds if it is not repealed. That effort, if successful, could give Trump far greater authority to remake the federal budget on his own, altering the balance of power between the branches of government. During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump and many of his senior advisers publicly vowed to assert unilateral authority to rescind some federal funds, after Trump's attempts to block aid to Ukraine led to his impeachment during his first term. If the White House were to simply assert more power without Congress first changing the law, it could trigger a constitutional showdown over a bedrock aspect of the federal government, the power of the purse. Some legal experts say that the courts would probably strike down any attempt to unilaterally rewrite federal spending laws, but some Trump allies are optimistic the Supreme Court, which now has a significant conservative majority, might rule in their favor. Trump's former budget director, Russell Vought, blasted the 1974 law the day before Trump's first term ended, saying it promoted "the very opposite of what good government should be," But Democratic officials and even some Republicans said it would be illegal for the White House to usurp congressional authority by consolidating more power in the executive branch, and that the courts wouldn't stand for it. "I think it will fall short - the impoundment is just not what they think it is. They cannot sign things into law and then reshape them at their will," said Doug Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum, a conservative-leaning think tank. "They can't restructure the entire government. Congress has to do it. In the end, they don't have the authority to do it."

Post on r/conspiracy: What is Donald planning? Trump's top pick for treasury secretary is currently Scott Bessent, who served as George Soros's chief investment officer at Soros Fund Management. Bessent is often regarded as a Soros protégé. Can't make this up.

"All of a sudden I'm driving by Starbucks, and the guy that served me coffee every day is outside smoking a cigarette," said Ms. Blackmon, whose third book of photographs, "Midwest Materials," was published this month. "I remember thinking, 'He's got the most beautiful cheekbones when he inhales. He looked right out of a Balthus painting."

A whimsical slightly surreal computer enhanced photo of a girl playing with a tennis racket next to a small grocery store. I lean against a wall, dressed in black, smoking a cigarette languidly and also appear on the right side in white, carrying a long board which obscures my face. A girl in the foreground stares into the camera as she crosses a street. Behind her, a dog crosses as I walk away from the camera carrying a rolled up newspaper. A woman in a red coat and a cane carries a grocery bag in the background.

Excerpt from The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein: In one of his most influential essays, Friedman articulated contemporary capitalism's core tactical nostrum, what I have come to understand as the shock doctrine. He observed that "only a crisis-actual or perceived-produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes politically inevitable."12 Some people stockpile canned goods and water in preparation for major disasters; Friedmanites stockpile free-market ideas. And once a crisis has struck, the University of Chicago professor was convinced that it was crucial to act swiftly, to impose rapid and irreversible change before the crisis-racked society slipped back into the "tyranny of the status quo." He estimated that "a new administration has some six to nine months in which to achieve major changes; if it does not seize the opportunity to act decisively during that period, it will not have another such opportunity."13 A variation on Machiavelli's advice that injuries should be inflicted "all at once," this proved to be one of Friedman's most lasting strategic legacies.

Qs celebrate the great significance of Trump accidentally posting nothing but a hashtag to Truth Social. Riveting.
Screenshot posted to a pro-Trump message board under the heading “Checkmate!!” of Trump’s post of literally only a hashtag One user states, “In chess, checkmate is denoted by #,” while another suggests a relevant Q drop. “I think we have an interesting week ahead, but I've never been right before,” another proclaims. Users ask for a link to Trump’s post, as it appears to have been deleted. “Hmmm. Apparently the same post happened on 9/13/24,” one says. Another panics: “I'm not finding this on truth social. Where are we seeing this. Until someone links to the post don't trust this pic as I think it's not real” Two more users tack on that it was deleted 17 minutes later, and sum it up as “Nice!”
