LOGIC💣

Yeah, imagine a world where Donald Trump actually had a friend.

The student deserved a grade of 0, but sadly it seems the grad student walked into this trap and unwittingly became the foot stool from whence this vapid bimbo will launch her Kirk career.

Let’s not forget that her mother is a right wing nutjob lawyer who seems to have been heavily involved in this incident. So, there is a strong nepo baby element here, as well.

The student herself seems like an incompetent loser who wouldn’t go anywhere on her own, so without her mommy’s pressure, I doubt she could have anything like a Kirk career.

I wanted more context than this article offered.

There is a lot of extra detail in the Wikipedia article.

The key background points were that this was for a psychology class and the essay’s topic was a research paper about gender typicality in middle school students. Ranting about trans people is pretty far off-topic, but there’s some wiggle room in the grading.

The key identity-related point is that the instructor is a trans gender grad student and originally gave her a zero. A cis gender person re-graded the essay and also gave it a failing grade, but apparently not a zero. The college is apparently only punishing the trans person, and is completely wiping out the grade for the essay, despite it being re-graded.

So, it seems this is not only about rewarding a student for writing mindless nonsense due to her Christianity. It’s also strongly about punishing the teacher simply because she is a trans woman.

Nobody says that message in the 2nd panel, right?

I’m guessing it’s been said a lot. Something like, “You shouldn’t care about animals suffering when there are humans suffering.” That sort of BS.

I believe that there is nothing Donald Trump wouldn’t do if you paid him enough money.

The nicest thing about new year’s resolutions is that nobody is forcing you to make any.

The White House previously said that Trump’s hand looked that way because he shook so many hands. So, how can they explain it on his left hand? Did he get it from jerking off two horses at once or something?

I think including the listener is stretching it. I think it’s pretty straightforward that “we” refers to Billy Joel’s generation.

I remember there was this story about a business. I think it was a brokerage. But anyways, they gave out large bonuses at Christmas, thinking that this would encourage employees to work harder.

But instead, it had the exact opposite effect. The stock brokers worked most of the year, but when it came to December, they basically stopped working because of the bonuses. They knew by around November generally how well they did compared to the other stock brokers, and so they knew what kind of bonus to expect in December.

The problem was that even if they worked really hard in December, they were unlikely to earn a much bigger bonus, but there was a higher possibility that they’d screw up, which could reduce their bonus by a lot. So, if they worked hard in December, it could only make their bonus go down. So, they didn’t work hard.

What is the thing labeled with an “F”?

In the first panel, it appears to be a laptop. But in the third panel, it shows that he’s closed it, so in the fourth panel, that would mean that the boss is looking at the bottom of the laptop. But that doesn’t look like any laptop that I’ve ever seen.

Did Henderson attach this paper to the bottom of the laptop?

Or maybe is it not a laptop? Maybe it’s just a manila folder, and between the 3rd and 4th panels, he opened it up to show the boss the contents of the folder. But then, I guess it could be one of those tablets that can be used like a laptop, and he’s folded the keyboard around.

Or, does Henderson have multiple things labeled with “F”?

We may never know what the F this is.

Surely those sorts of things could happen in any country. There’s no constitution that is inherently more than just words on paper.

because everybody already knows what he’s like in public

I don’t think that happened very much. Epstein wanted money, and so he’d invite any rich person who wanted to go.

Epstein even hung around with Donald Trump, who has no redeeming qualities, and has an especially horrible personality. Apparently, in private, he never shuts up and only wants to talk about himself.

I doubt anyone thought otherwise.

On a side note, do my eyes deceive me, or is she wearing a collar? It seems wrong for an elephant to wear a collar.

Of course it can be enforced, and was planned to be enforced from its inception. All three branches were designed to have a hand in enforcing it. The legislative branch in creating laws to enforce it, the judicial branch to adjudicate it, and to a lesser extent, the executive branch. It was all enforced from the beginning.

If you’re saying that a conspiracy of government officials can choose to ignore the constitution, and that’s the reason why it can’t be enforced, then that’s true for every government’s constitution.

My intuition is that is wasn’t what Charlie Kirk would have wished for.

That person was joking. Dairy Queen serves normal drinks, so there is no reason why a person who worked there would turn every cup upside down.

In fact, there are even some blizzards where it was a risk to turn it upside down. If there is enough stuff in there, it runs the risk of falling out over a marketing gimmick.

Charlie Kirk dying had no downside for her, from her perspective.

I now think that anything Congress does to cede its authority to anything should be inherently unconstitutional.

Congresspeople on the day they first walk into office have less power than most people probably expect. They don’t sit on committees. It’s difficult to introduce legislation. Many of the important bills they vote on are giant monsters of bills and they have no option except to vote along party lines.

So individual congresspeople are put into a this conundrum. If they want to benefit their constituents, they have to play along with their party leadership. If the executive branch has too much power over the party, as Trump does, due to his controlling all the money, then essentially, the executive branch controls Congress.

We need to get rid of all of this ceding of power not just to the executive branch but also to anything else, like political parties, or even to rules of order, like how the filibuster works today. There are all sorts of ways that Congress today has less power than specified in the constitution.
