Holy shit… totally not the response I expected either.
But to my point, I know a handful of career civil servants and they’re pretty passionate about their roles and try to do a good job… unlike fucking lunatics like Canon who are supposed to be apolitical but politics dictate every action they take…
Eh… large swaths of government try to be efficient… it just keeps tripping over its own feet and all the red tape lying around.
Seems to me like the majority of this nonsense is more typical of the portion of the government that employs by appointment.
They have…. That’s why there is a usual trend of bolder actions taken by second term presidents because they’re no longer eligible for candidacy for President.
That’s also why we can’t fuck about with a second Trump term.
I didn’t say he was a great president. I said he was the greatest man elected president.
I shouldn’t have been so cryptic… I was speaking more to his decency as a human.
Possibly the greatest man to ever be elected to the office of President. Certainly the greatest in the modern era.
Belgian beers in general can be so lovely. Of the three big brewing traditions, the Belgians seem to have the most variations. The Germans with their lagers and hefes, and the Brits with their various ales are both very strict with regard to rules for ingredients and methods. The Belgians, however, went crazy with their ingredients and adjuncts and methods. They are also the culture whose monasteries make some of the best beers in the world, the Trappist ales. Those are pretty tightly regulated, but so are any other culturally significant historical products like Parmigano Reggiano…
One of the best beers I’ve ever had, bar none, was a saison I brewed myself from an extract kit I got from Northern Brewer. It was amazing. It was unlike any beer I’d ever had before. It was malty, slightly hoppy, and I used some coriander seed during the boil. Absolutely lovely.
There’s a reason they sell it, dude. The fact that a brewery sells rum and soda is because they realize if you don’t like beer, but your friends do, you might not tag along, and they wouldn’t get an opportunity to sell you anything!
Different people have different tastes, and some folks are just not going to like certain flavor profiles.
Within beer though, there is so much variety, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t at least one beer out there that you’d thoroughly enjoy. It’s just not likely worth the effort of finding that one.
The Cabinet does not have any collective executive powers or functions of its own, and no votes need to be taken. There are 26 members: the vice president, 15 department heads, and 10 Cabinet-level officials, all except two of whom require Senate confirmation. During Cabinet meetings, the members sit in the order in which their respective department was created, with the earliest being closest to the president and the newest farthest away.

“Yeah. Sure. ‘Operation Paperclip’ worked out Fantastic for America and Americans. We are paying for that naïveté to this very day,” the user wrote.
Umm… what?
Ignoring the fact that most if not all of them were full-blown card carrying Nazis, those guys kept the US steadily ahead of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and they got us to the Moon.
What the actual fuck could this guy be talking about?
Wankel types are so fucking cool. Not a lot of engines out there that can come close to their power to weight ratio.
Maintenance is just a bitch…
That’s beside the point though.
Eh… Biden did the same thing several months ago and ran a Dark Brandon ad on their website during a Republican primary debate that they streamed.
The fact of the matter is they are a media outlet that tons of people watch for better or worse. And it’s not like they weren’t going to fill the airtime otherwise with some other advertisements.
Folding in some messaging for Harris-Walz doesn’t seem like a bad use of their campaign funds. Especially because the potential gains are so important. Undecided independents are super important, but removing folks from his base will help provide a mandate from the electorate.
Eh… it’s probably a rental if I had to guess. Look at the decal numbers on the front. They’re probably going to a rally, and they probably rented it b/c I imagine the walks from the car are brutal.
The shirts are abhorrent, but no sense in mocking someone who might need something like that for legitimate reasons. Make fun of them for being a moron and supporting the party that would make the medical care their daughter might one day need to survive illegal in all circumstances.
Was that pre ACA? When we had our kid, we only paid a $175 hospital stay copay. Granted… we’re very lucky with the insurance coverage provided by my employer, but we were under the understanding that the reason we didn’t have OBGYN copays and otherwise throughout the pregnancy was because the ACA made sure it was covered.
