This seems like a good way to get the judge to find in favor of the defense motion to dismiss.

NYT editorial staff in shambles.

Yes, that is the social fabric breaking down. The answer is going to be basically Lord of the Flies. Imagine Hurricane Katrina but all over the country.

It’s relatively simple to imagine what happens. Starving people will do anything to not starve, if food is in that store over there, they will loot it. This quickly results in a spiral of unrest as the social fabric starts to unravel. The longer it goes on the harder it becomes to correct it. You can’t just turn the food faucet back on, the stores are looted and destroyed and shipments aren’t coming in. The logistics of feeding people becomes increasingly complicated and difficult and local law enforcement become overwhelmed. The military gets called in but unless they bring food with them, it is unlikely to successfully stabilize the situation - again, starving people will do anything to not starve.

It’s a hugely stupid move to withhold food from a significant segment of your population - a key component of bread and circuses is the bread.

Only the most foolish autocrat would starve his own populace.

One of the chief architects of our current fascist state, only fighting against it when it became clear he was not going to be in charge of it. A vile person who exploited American grief in order to profiteer on the deaths of millions. Fuck him and good riddance.

So I can blame her for traumating my childhood? I had nightmares for weeks.

It certainly is strange that the “slavery wasn’t that bad” party is against non citizens being counted now.

Common law marriage also can be a problem in probate. When I lived in Texas I got married specifically because we were worried about my husband’s estranged family contesting our joint property if he were to pass. Or contesting our PoA in the case of medical decisions.

Stupid 2nd law of thermodynamics always getting in the way.

He really wants to use nuclear weapons.

But I worked so hard on writing up the flatumancer subclass!

Zangief, there’s just something about a guy with full bush on his shins.

I am just waiting for him to blurt out that he did this new thing called a PET scan, can you believe it? A scan for your pets. Nobody ever heard about this thing before, but he passed it with flying colors.

I had a friend who was married to a veteranarian who worked with exotic animals. They were constantly fostering bird rescues. He told me once he fell asleep on the couch and woke up as a parrot was reaching for his glasses. He said he knew this bird wouldn’t intentionally hurt him but seeing a 4-year-old child with a can opener on its face reaching for him was pretty scary.

I had a coworker who would frequently say “Not to be pendantic…” and I honestly could not tell if he was just fucking with me.

This is a memo, not a law. It will never make it before a judge. Targeted groups won’t be charged, they will instead be detained, possibly indefinitely, but certainly long enough to fuck them up. They will also use this memo to monitor communications, pull financial records and otherwise harass people. They will use the label to force financial institutions to freeze assets.

But they won’t charge you.

And somehow their implementation of e911 will still not work.

I dunno, if he’s a secret fascist he’s been playing the really long game.
