      I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are

      Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.

    To be fair though the Democrats tried to stop dumb shitheads from pushing horse paste on Twitter during a pandemic, so no one’s blameless in the censorship game.

    (Please don’t make me reply clarifying the intent of this statement.)

      Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like “/s” that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they’re needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?

        I don’t know why because I’ve never done it before today, but as I was about to post that I imagined someone taking it seriously and I was not in the mood to deal with that today so I cut it off proactively. And I’ve never liked /s.

      The protests start tomorrow. Big one is somehow 4/20(we live in a TV show). The only ones I can see them swaying are congress though so I guess we’re all in on the House and Senate caving to protestors and a rapidly cratering economy… We’re going to need a general strike.

    What’s interesting is that other then three minor places reporting in this. Not even a comment from the democratic party. Nothing in major news publications. Nothing on CNN that I can find. Nothing on AP or NPR. I’m questioning if this is even real.

      A lot of the time major publications won’t print something like this unless it can be verified. They are probably trying to get confirmation it is real.

    So, in other words, we will no longer be able to trust the USDA to safeguard our food supply and companies will be able to bastardize any and all foodstuffs without any kind of oversight whatsoever.

    Step 1 prevent agency from doing it’s job

    Step 2 shriek about how agency does nothing and must be dismantled
