Ooops! Dinesh just said the quiet part out loud.

The Democrats should be absolutely certain that we are going to do to them exactly what they are doing to us. Raids, handcuffs and solitary confinement go both ways. Our turn is coming!

President Trump should pardon Edward Snowden. He is a national hero for exposing egregious violations of the Constitution by the Bush and Obama administrations.

If @POTUS wanted, he could preemptively pardon all of us for any income tax-related offense.

This would effectively abolish the income tax, and force Congress to find another way to fund the government.

Will he do that?

I have no idea. But I pray he does.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Pardon Julian Assange.
Pardon Edward Snowden.

For those who work in the restaurant industry, if I call in a take-out order and I come inside the restaurant to pay for it and pick up the order so my only interaction is with the cashier (none of the servers), y'all aren't actually expecting a tip, right?

Cops/bootlickers: “If you obey the law, you’ll be fine.”

Solid Americans: “Cool so let’s end qualified immunity. If cops obey the law and violate no one, they’ll be fine.”

Cops/bootlickers: 🥵🥵🥵

@1minutetomidnit Most species of algea are more efficient than trees at breaking down carbon dioxide, mainly because water can store a more dense amount of carbon dioxide. Trees can only pull CO2 out of the air, which is obviously far less dense.

@Lylanthia @RealSpikeCohen The gun rights debate has always been about public spaces; never private property. Of course you have the freedom to place whatever limits you want on your private property, and in turn, if I don't like your restrictions then I am free to stay off your property.

There seems plenty of evidence that Kamala Harris is a Communist based on many of the things she’s said.

However, it’s unclear whether she understands many of the things she’s said, or indeed whether anyone has.

[Spike Cohen @RealSpikeCohen]

Whenever I bring up the fact that all taxation is extortion and should be ended, I'm inevitably asked "but how will government fund the things we need?"

I answered in this video back in 2021. I also explain how voluntary funding decimates government corruption. Enjoy.

Maybe just me, but seems like most keto recipes are basically just adding random ingredients to cottage cheese and that magically makes it "keto".

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

How the fuck can you say he’s literally Hitler and Democracy is on the line but we wish him a speedy recovery and political violence is never acceptable?

If you have been saying any of that insane shit, then at least have the integrity to admit that this is the logical conclusion of your lies.

Does anyone at all understand the case that overturned Chevron? Because the facts there are pretty damning and show why federal bureaucrats can't be trusted to interpret and enforce their own rules.

Basically, the really short version of what happened was this -- a family fishing business sued because they were paying $700 a day to have federal regulators oversee their business. The statute governing the National Marine Fisheries Service says nothing about making their business pay for the cost of their own regulation, and it was just decided along the way that businesses would have to foot the bill for the NMFS' own enforcement.

Because of Chevron, which grants overly broad powers to bureaucrats to interpret the law, the idea that federal agencies could essentially make their own regs and make people pay if they didn't have the budget to enforce them was tolerated.

That's insane. Imagine if your local cops decided they needed a bigger budget -- gotta keep the town safe! -- and started stopping your car at checkpoints all over town to make you pay up. And the mayor and no one else in town could stop them from doing this because only the cops were allowed to determine what was legal.

That's essentially what the feds were doing here under Chevron. It was outrageous, and the fisheries service's abuse of power was hardly an isolated instance of federal overreach defended by Chevron.

It was corrupt and needed to end.
