  • In announcing his Senate candidacy, Sasse expressed strong opposition to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), calling himself “the anti-Obamacare candidate” and declaring that “If it lives, America as we know it will die.” In the Senate, Sasse continued to support repeal of the ACA. In 2017, with Republicans unable to develop a repeal-and-replace plan that could secure a majority in the Senate, Sasse proposed an immediate repeal with a one-year delay in implementation, and called on the Senate to give up its August recess to allow it to work on a replacement measure.

    I have no sympathy for people who condemn others to death or poverty in order to enrich themselves. Reap the whirlwind, motherfucker.




  • I went to a trade school to be an automotive tech, and they had a job fair near the end of the program where all of the local dealerships came out to give out information and set up interviews.

    I came out of the program with an entry level hourly position as a technician at the BMW dealership and worked with a master tech until I was ready to start flagging hours.

    Speaking as someone from the USA, so there’s probably a bit of a cultural difference, but I’d say it’s the most likely way to secure a decent job in the industry. Otherwise, you could likely get a job busting down tires and doing oil changes at a local shop. You’ll be getting experience that way, but what you learn will be very dependent on the individual shop. It’s a much cheaper alternative, though (at least in the US).










  • The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the FBI he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter.

    So… Not an anarchist like the cops initially reported, but rather a stupid and violent right-wing “lone wolf.” What prize do I win for correctly predicting this? I must be able to see the future to know that the cops were bullshitting, huh?
