Challenges to the citizenship birthright, bypassing due process and courts, deporting legal residents, putting them in a famously brutal concentration camp, and now taking more news media companies captive under the accusation that they're the "lying press." Yep, totally normal.

Both hilarious and accurate.

That's another hilarious part. People have been sleeping in minivans and SUVs, and pickup beds for a long time. How did they manage to make it worse? I'd rather spend a night in a Grand Cherokee than that nonsense.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I bet they're really serious about their payments, too. Once you miss a few, they take you to court. Imagine being about to bite into a chalupa when the sheriff yanks it from your hands and informs you that Klarna has put a lien on it. He puts the chalupa in its own locking cubby, in a large plexiglass case full of other impounded items in the restaurant. You quickly open the app and make a payment. He receives a phone call and then retrieves your chalupa from the transparent lockers. He hands your chalupa back to you. Meanwhile, you've just made a payment you can't afford. Some other bill will go unpaid. Also, your APR went up for being a higher default risk. Now everything costs just a little bit more.

This has been an exaggeration, but it's not as far off as I would like.

I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for contributing to the advancement of civil rights.

I am literally crying and far too sad to respond to your comment. I'll put it off until I feel too guilty to reach out. I'll hold onto that guilt for the rest of my life.

That's a good point. I don't think it makes a difference in this particular situation because she'll vote as ordered. Having said that, there are people who would benefit from voting away from the watchful eyes of their partners.

That's some dystopian nightmare fuel. Are you sure you're not just quoting a Black Mirror episode?

I would, but I have to work extra. I'm still paying off the pizza I ordered yesterday. That's a joke, but you sent me down a rabbit hole. The things getting financed now are insane. I hope people realize that the money supply is affected by loans and that financing things contributes to inflation.

Her husband is voting for her, with her own ballot. That is, he is voting twice. We shouldn't encourage this.

They still submit ballots. Guess who filled them out?

That's what they're hoping for. That's the whole point of using children as human shields.

That's horrible. 7 years is almost the average length of ownership in the US.

Our economists determined that eleventy kajillion percent is an appropriate amount according to mathiness and politicolologism.

For that kind of money, they should have gotten an RV. Then they could at least live in it if they need to.

Elgenzay: Therapsid scum!

My mistake:

It really speaks to simple documents like the US Constitution in the context of human social hierarchy. Perhaps the next great empire will advance civil rights by extrapolating laws from an even smaller set of core values.

Oh, well. Better just start working on the propaganda now in case I need to blend in:

Am I doing this right, fellow saurapsids?
