Trump supporters storm the Capitol Building

[MikeOberly]

Hilarious that Ivanka thinks she has a political career ahead of her. Having said that, I’m sure there are districts where she can get elected, in a world where literally psychotic Q devotees are getting elected.

Organic is not a dietary requirement.

[abidingdude]

Rick Wilson thinks she’s gonna run against Rubio and thinks she can win. Although this conjecture was all before 1/6.

Organic is not a dietary requirement.

In 100 years (or fewer) it may be like Kosher food though. I.e. a restricted diet not necessarily for reasons having to do with nutrition, with religious or quasi-religious backing.

In 100 years I suspect people will kill other people for anything that keeps them alive in the hellscape they inhabit.

Rubio has the backbone of Gumby, so it’s possible…I know the LP guys have been razzing Lil’ Marco about that, but I don’t really see it as likely…she could probably win some congressional seat in some district in Florida, though. Even useless morons like Gaetz can win in Florida.

I worked for the State Dpt before joining the games industry. Pompeo is at the same level, for me, as Ted Cruz. I am so glad I am running my own game company and doing my thing away from the state of helplessness I was feeling at State. So many qualified people resigned or were fired and the lesser qualified (if not least qualified) occupies senior positions. Pompeo believes that Trump was sent by god btw.

We are happy to have you in the game industry, more women are always welcome. I figure that it is probably a toss up between State and EPA as to which agency has been most traumatized by the Trump administration. Although, I bet NIH has had their share of WTF moments this year.

Who knows how dysfunctional these agencies are going to become under the next GOP/Trumpist president. (And there probably will be a next one.)

I.e. now that Trump/Pence have blazed a trail.

I’m so sorry. My condolences.

And they gave in and are serving him organic food now. Unfuckingbelievable.

I know that if this was a liberal insurrectionist, this request would be seen by the right as proof of his guilt, but I still think that someone with strong moral objections should be provided with food that doesn’t compromise those objections. If you are willing to not eat for several days, you really do have a belief system and forcing you to compromise it to live is really not ok.

A hunger strike would be bad optics for some. I don’t really care a lot at this point though.

My nephew continues to work there, keeps his head down and does what he can, and hopes for something better soon.

I support Ivanka attending the inauguration. Think of it like how medieval nobles would give family members as guest/hostages to cement truces.
