SatanicNotMessianic , in 'Gas Hat' Jan. 6 rioter who first breached Capitol tunnel entrance arrested by FBI

Online sleuths were able to identify Mijares with the help of a photo posted by a journalist that shows him posing near the Capitol after the attack when he was not wearing his mask.

facepalm

They really, really thought that When you’re a republican, they let you do it. You can do anything. Violently overthrow the government of the United States. You can do anything.

I love the self labeled ‘Moron Maybe’ patch. Whoever was selling it to these dumbasses needs a nod.

chunkystyles ,

Is that a very sly play on “molon labe”?

Edit: the patch in the image is molon labe.

dewritochan ,

the next question is how quickly can we start selling moron mabe patches? cuz that’s a great idea.

Time to make Alabama hurt.

What could we possibly do that they haven’t already done to themselves?

StrawberryPigtails ,

Currently living in Alabama, I really wish there wasn’t quite so much truth in this statement.

AssPennies ,

I was stationed in Biloxi, MS for over a year and almost went insane of boredom on base. We thought “hey let’s visit Mobile” once, so we did. After that we accepted dying of boredom rather than ever go back to AL.

IIRC, they've already lost a new military base & an upgrade.

Like Trump, Musk cheats the people he owes money to, but can always afford to file lawsuits.

gravitas_deficiency , in Senator Tuberville: No truce over military blockade on abortion

Tuberville is a complete imbecile. That’s not a baseless ad-hominem attack - he’s established a solid, bipartisan reputation in the Senate as the densest, dumbest motherfucker who’s been elected to that legislative body in a long, long time.

superduperenigma ,

Notice that the comment you’re responding to specifically qualifies him as the dumbest person in the Senate. There’s a lot more competition for “dumbest member of Congress” in the house. Boebert is still a representative (for now at least), after all.

Acronymesis ,
@Acronymesis@lemmy.world avatar

Good point!

gravitas_deficiency ,

Not to mention, Greene. And Gaetz.

SinningStromgald ,

Don’t forget meat puppet Senator Ted “Cancun” Cruz!

While Bobert probably has a singular brain cell randomly impacting her skull forcing a vomit of nonsense from her mouth. Cruzy boy barely classifies as sapient even after he’s been loaded up with whatever bullshit he’s meant to unload into people ear cannals.

superduperenigma ,

The difference is that Raphael Cruz is a Princeton and Harvard educated attorney who understands that he’s unloading bullshit as part of a political grift. Boebert barely got her G.E.D. and truly believes every idiotic word that comes out of her mouth.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Well, in point of fact, Cruz actually appears to be somewhat intelligent, based on transcripts of private conversations he’s had. It’s just that he’s an asshole who had pretty much zero integrity. And everyone knows it.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

People keep naming others, but after hearing him say things like we don’t want poets in the military and whit supremacy isn’t racist, I think he’s so fucking stupid he can barely breathe. He also insists people call him Coach instead of Senator, which is also unbelievably stupid.

gravitas_deficiency ,

He should be made to apologize to trees for wasting the oxygen they’re so kind to provide us with.

Everything else aside, how is he the IVth if his father the IIIrd has a different name?

jwu ,
@jwu@lemmy.ml avatar

Those don’t need to be consecutive. King Charles III’s father was not King Charles II. So he could just be the 4th in his family with that name. And the dad was the 3rd in family with the other name.

But it’s also possibly a nickname thing.

There’s no legal requirement for it.

drdabbles , in Senator Tuberville: No truce over military blockade on abortion
@drdabbles@lemmy.world avatar

He will NOT be appointing officials for an organization that kills people until the government stops allowing abortions. Just let the logic sink in for a while. The guy’s a POS, and nobody should be surprised that a single issue candidate is only interested in a single issue.

IHeartBadCode ,
@IHeartBadCode@kbin.social avatar

Not to mention that because of the standing rules of the Senate, all you have to do is send an email saying you’re filibustering and any one person can bring to halt something all the other 99 Senators just want to move on to the next topic.

Literally this guy stands alone on this and the brain dead rules allow him and him alone to bring it all to a halt.

flipht ,

And the rules won't change because most of the Senate loves that someone else can halt things, take the heat, and then they won't have to deal with unpopular decisions.

Not in this case, but they're literally willing to force the military fuck over career professionals so that they can keep their cushy plausible deniability.

drdabbles ,
@drdabbles@lemmy.world avatar

So many self-serving rules. And honestly, if we held any of them accountable to their campaign promises we might actually have a functioning congress. But here we are.

Earthwormjim91 ,

Well no, they could hold a cloture vote any time on every nominee. They need 67 senators to vote to end the filibuster.

They haven’t forced cloture because enough republicans support him in the background and wouldn’t vote for it.

Dark_Arc ,
@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

They could also change the rules with a simple majority and do what needs done, but that’s going to be a last resort desperate measure.

lolcatnip ,

It funny/sad that allowing the Senate to function in the absence of a supermajority is seen as a desperate measure. Too me it seems like the only reasonable thing to do.

Dark_Arc ,
@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

I agree, everything doesn’t need to be done by a super majority

fsr1967 ,

This is the real problem, and it’s infuriating. Not only because of the way it stops the Senate from doing so many things, but because so many people now believe it’s how the filibuster had always worked. And so people hate it.

But, in fact, the filibuster, in its original form, is a powerful tool the minority can use to make its voice heard and perhaps even effect change. It needs to come back - make Tuberville stand up and talk for hours on end for each of these appointees he opposes. Make McTurtle totter to center stage and wheeze for as long as he can the next time he wants to block a Democrat President’s Supreme Court Judge.

I’ll bring the popcorn.

PetDinosaurs , (edited ) in Artificial intelligence technology behind ChatGPT was built in Iowa — with a lot of water

We’ve got to start distinguishing between using up fossil ground water or devastating these desert rivers in places that just don’t have water.

Where I live, we have enough water. Now and before. Maybe more now, but same climate change.

It’s just where I live, I don’t “use up” water unless I pollute it.

@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

“For FY22, total water withdrawal from areas with water stress was 2,449 megaliters (ML) (23 percent) and was primarily sourced from third-party water; total water discharge to areas with water stress was 1,140 ML (26 percent); and total water consumption from areas with water stress was 1,310 ML (20 percent).” from this PDF fact sheet from MS

… note 1 ML = 1,000,000 liters or 219969.3 gallons
