That's what he said last time. Only two things will actually stop him: the death of the Republican Party or his own

Are the staffers who quit still Republicans? Yeah? No points for integrity then. You were getting paid to make the world worse, and now you're getting out because you got caught.

I did get a chuckle out of this though:

The facility will need to be fully restaffed

Yeah, it's been 45 years, I don't think those folks were waiting around for the place to reopen.

Jesus Christ.

Look, I'm in favor of nuclear power. We have new designs that are much, much safer than the ones that failed back in the 80's. Even so, we can get a Fukushima event; not world-ending but still pretty terrible.

The thing is, no matter how safe the design, Microsoft and other companies dialed in on greed--especially companies for whom power generation is not their core competency--can be trusted to cut corners until those safe designs become dangerous again.

And Three Mile Island WAS NOT A SAFE DESIGN.

What the fuck are we doing?

Ah. This one was subtle, but I should have figured it out from panel 4. Thanks!

I haven't seen the video, but I agree with the point that leftists are social people; at least, to no less extent than any other political wing. I too would love to visit those spaces and play some games with you. I used to be a huge card player myself!

A couple of issues still plague us:

  • the monetization of all spaces. Churches have managed to avoid this, and of course you don't have to pay to be at work, but what's left? Game stores have at least a lowkey expectation that you'll spend some money there while you're playing. Libraries don't allow noise. Outdoors isn't gonna work for gatherings like this. Pubs expect you to spend money and are usually too loud. I wish there were tax-exempt secular places for gatherings, but all we get there is public parks.
  • COVID. I'm gonna avoid spending time indoors around anyone who isn't a close friend. By itself, this almost rules out me visiting any third spaces that do exist.

Why do you assume it's not happening already?

Only once? I guess neither of them enjoyed it

We'll know if they ever put an earpiece on Trump because we'll see him reach up and turn it off the very second they tell him to say something he doesn't want to.

Did anybody ever check on the guards the last time, see which ones bought a boat a month later?

"How you doin there?"

He's fine, because it was a lie in the first place. When you're trying to fraudulently pump a stock, you don't go all in, that's what the rubes are for.
