For what it’s worth, they didn’t mention Reddit either

Quest. Monty Python and Quest for the Holy Grail.

The key comment is his last sentence.

What happened to that law?

Na… that’s a convenient coincidence. Funding an effective FEMA would make the Biden administration look good. This is the same bullshit that they pulled when they killed the border deal.

How do you say she’s in track to lose. All the data I’ve seen makes me optimistic.

I’m not sure if “middleeasteye.net” is a reliable source…

Yeah, the hypocrisy is fucking rife.

I had a similar feeling when they had that Field of Dreams game several in 2021 b/w the ChiSox and Yankees. Kevin fucking Costner walks his ass out to the mound and gives a lovely speech, and didn’t say one god damned word about Shoeless Joe Jackson.

I do enjoy every opportunity I get where my brain gets to say the words quod erat demonstrandum.

Holy shit… totally not the response I expected either.

But to my point, I know a handful of career civil servants and they’re pretty passionate about their roles and try to do a good job… unlike fucking lunatics like Canon who are supposed to be apolitical but politics dictate every action they take…

Eh… large swaths of government try to be efficient… it just keeps tripping over its own feet and all the red tape lying around.

Seems to me like the majority of this nonsense is more typical of the portion of the government that employs by appointment.

The Cabinet does not have any collective executive powers or functions of its own, and no votes need to be taken. There are 26 members: the vice president, 15 department heads, and 10 Cabinet-level officials, all except two of whom require Senate confirmation. During Cabinet meetings, the members sit in the order in which their respective department was created, with the earliest being closest to the president and the newest farthest away.
