Right you are, Ken.

I needed a replacement for an item hat failed under warranty. The original part was made in Canada, and a replacement was mailed to me free of charge. Except, I got a note from FedEx that i had to pay tarriffs… My tariff was $5, but FedEx was charging a $25 tariff handling fee on top of the $5. And if I didn’t prepay, they would instead charge $40 total to collect my $5 tarriff.

FUCK FedeEx for having the audacity to request a refund from the federal government on top of their blind extortion. These fuckers need to burn.

Northern Nevada can get pretty frosty. I remember seeing -14f there on a particularly cold morning. I’m in Southern NV now, and it was around 90f yesterday. Overnight lows are barely getting under 70f still. Coldest I’ve ever seen here is around 28f, and I can’t remember the last time it even got to freezing.

Nope, Nevada. One of the other mildly infuriating things about this flier.

Nope, USA. The third infuriating thing about this flier.

I’m not generally the type for this kind of meaningless comment, but it is just so perfectly apropos, I present the following statement:

womp womp

“Take the Princess and the Wookie to my ship.”

I guess James Earl Jones, Carrie Fisher, and Peter Mayhew can now all ride together.

One is the presidential nominee of the Republican party, the other is a has-been hack columnist. These two things are not the same.

He can’t, as this is an ideological split between the parties and would need to go through the house as well, where it would fail. Bringing this up now helps inform voters of an issue that could be resolved if Democrats turn out and take control of the house while retaining control of the Senate and executive branch.

I think the chaos will be happening at State capitols this time. National Guard (generally, with some exceptions) report to each state’s Governor. Many Republican Governors will be all to happy to start shit up and look the other way just as Trump did on 1/6.

“Hey Strongbad - check out my creepy pants!”

DELETED / DELORTED

Just because modern ‘conservatism’ is practically defined by its incompetence, doesn’t mean it hasn’t been racking up win after win after win. They are relentless, fueled by fanatical religious views, a sense of entitlement to take any step necessary to achieve their goals, and pure hatred of anyone that attempts to stand in their way or even moderate their views.

Their hatred is infectious, and there are unending waves of fools ready to sacrifice themselves for what they see as a holy war. Don’t think for a second that Project 2025 isn’t incredibly dangerous, even if Project Heritage has understated offices.

But 90% tax means that $10MM becomes $1MM.

But. But. But it says “do no evil,” right on the box! ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ
