Not that it makes any difference anymore, but the Forest Service was created by several acts of Congress, and the president has zero authority to dissolve it.

Since we live in a fascist dictatorship run by a dementia-riddled orange pedophile, I guess it doesn't matter. But I still felt the need to point it out.

"threatened"

Wrong word. The one they're looking for is "over."

A bitter lesson in all of this is that the universe isn't fundamentally fair or just. Sometimes, bastards like Bannon get away with shit and never suffer any consequences for it, and there isn't even a hell for him to suffer in after he dies on a mountain of booze and ill-gotten gains.

And that's why it's up to us - always up to us - to impose fairness and justice on the universe.

It's also why the price of freedom is vigilance. Somewhere along the way, a huge chunk of us became apathetic. We stopped voting. We stopped giving a shit. Which is exactly what the Bannons, the Trumps, and the rest of those shitheads wanted.

I think it might be the lighting and backdrop. They're brightly lit from one side, with a very dark background, making them really pop out. It reminds me of the lighting that was popular in 1990's formal portrait photos, which I always thought looked odd.

Ummm, hallucinations are literally how LLMs work. Everything they generate is confabulation, though sometimes it's useful confabulation.

These fucking people... It's literally all projection, always.

The party of "traditional family values," everyone. If we manage to hold anything even remotely resembling free and fair elections in the future, the first order of business afterwards will need to be replacing all upholstery any of them have touched.

Time to start setting up straight conversion camps. Give these fucking bastards a taste of their own medicine.

Donald Rumsfeld's ghost has entered the chat.

Oh no! Now RFK will need to rely more on the brain worm for his anti-vaccine advice!

"Extermination"

Oh sure, we're just openly using Nazi terminology now, but don't you dare equate us with Nazis!

Hi there,

I'm the mod for !nottheonion, and I'd like to unban someone. Unfortunately, the user I want to unban doesn't have any content in the community anymore, and I can't find a way to do it.

Help?

 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

Just spotted that we made this list on Forbes last week. We're famous!

 

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:
