I kinda like to think cats would have this sort of attitude though:

In the US, we'd use it only to further exploit animals and further enrich the 1%.

Corporate America will immediately determine and then monetize all their needs. In a generation we'll have cats paying for enough mice to get them through the week with the last of their earnings from the previous 2 weeks of catching hundreds of mice for their employers.

Then there will be a Republican-led effort to get people to stop spaying and neutering them, so the 1% will always be assured there are enough hungry cats to keep the folks at the top wealthy.

Edit: Sounds fucking ridiculous that anyone would voluntarily create or work within such a system doesn't it?

This won't matter at all because there is no one who is willing to believe Trump is a piece of shit who didn't already know he's a piece of shit.

He can literally do whatever he wants because the folks standing by him at this point would suck off the devil himself if they could be sure Dems stayed out of power, women stay barefoot and pregnant, and minorities and queer folk would get hurt along the way. The folks who want him gone are quite clearly not capable of doing anything that will get him out of power anyhow.

The best thing we can all do right now is send McDonald's gift cards to the white house and keep cheering on Team Arteriosclerosis.

I mean, I wouldn't hesitate if it were Trump, but I'd insult him based on things that were true.

I feel like I should be horrified by this. And yet, I think it's pretty cool.

Some spooky thoughts about it also there are already glow in a dark domestic flowers

OMG if we can get glow in the dark spider silk so I can avoid walking through them in the summertime near our garage door that would be great.

That’s dedication to one’s self-sabotage.

Self-sabotage? This will be the best sex that person ever had, or, something. It's a role-play setup. /s

Grossman says that after finishing their shift, a cop says, “Gunfight, bad guys down, I’m alive” and goes on to have “the best sex … in months.” He says, “Both partners are very invested in some very intense sex” and that “there’s not a whole lot of perks that come with this job. If you find one, relax and enjoy it.”

She died a traitor and her family is getting rewarded for it. Awesome.

GOP will want a statue of her in front of the Capitol.

I can see it now, the ultimate maga monument - Ashli Babbit 69'ing with Kyle Rittenhouse while Derek Chauvin kneels on the neck of a faceless black man next to them, jerking himself off. Behind him will be a banner bearing this quote from David Grossman: "They all say, 'The best sex I've had in months.'"

And all captured in lifelike bronze...

But if the statue was moved and placed into context with possibly some insight or summary or story behind the object, then it can become a learning tool.

I already know you are arguing disingenuously, but the context of the statues is hate. They were mostly erected LONG after the civil war to ensure black folks "knew their place" and to bolster Jim Crow.

All your crowing about "no war but class war" would go down a lot easier if not for your DeSantis-style insistence that we have to pretend all this shit didn't happen in order to do anything about the shit that IS happening. You are making maga talking points but dressing it up in "it's all a class war sheeple!"

I’m just saying we don’t want to become extremist only for the other side to entrench themselves and have an existential fear.

Oh, well, we wouldn't want Republican voters to show us just how awful they can really be, would we? They might elect a despot who will run the country into the ground, dismantle our infrastructure, and run roughshod over the rights of US Citizens.

Further, anyone who sees the OP reaction to the burning of a plantation and feels their "side" has been aggrieved by that reaction is accidentally telling the truth about what "their side" actually stands for.

The rest of your comment is just arguing against points no one made.

Gee, I wonder what political views we’ll find out they had. /s

Clearly a Bernie Bro, duh! 😉

Yeah, I been hearing this for about 4 years now.
