    It’ll be really funny seeing people die from listeria after drinking listeria milk on purpose

    Putting the CEO of a space ship company in charge of the government’s space ship funding makes about as much sense as letting Congress vote on giving themselves raises

      You’ve already received a joke answer, so yes, breast reduction surgery for guys is a thing. And sometimes the doctor can convince some insurance companies to cover it. But ymmv, because USA.

        What if I have access to TJ doctors? Any downsides? Scars or whatnot?

          I used to work on a plastic surgery clinic and we did mastectomy/breast reduction (removal of all or some breast tissue) a decent amount for cis men, cis women, and trans men. I even did the insurance paperwork for all of the non-cosmetic procedures.

          Different insurance companies have different criteria for breast reduction and/or mastectomy. You can call your insurance company and ask them to send you the “Medical Necessity Criteria” for mastectomy or breast reduction for an adult male. You can also schedule a consultation with a plastic surgeon and they can run it through your insurance after doing an exam and taking measurements and whatnot.

          The procedure itself is pretty straightforward, it’s usually an outpatient surgery and you go home the same day. There will be a small, linear scar, usually a long the underside of the breast, but they sew it under the skin, so the scar is very minimal when it heals. Depending on how much tissue they have to remove, you might have to have drains in there with tubes that come out through the skin for a couple of weeks to make sure you don’t end up with a fluid collection, and you’ll most likely need to wear a binder of some kind for 2-4 weeks to also help prevent fluid accumulation. Your individual situation might vary, so make sure to write down all of your questions to bring to your consultation appointment to go over with the surgeon.

          Pro tip for in-demand medical specialties: the easiest time to schedule an appointment with them is usually January and February because everyone’s deductible reset on the new year and people don’t want to pay the out of pocket costs if they can avoid it.

          Honestly I don’t know more than I already said. But at least now you know to start asking those questions to some doctors. Since you wouldn’t be left with any breast undercurve to hide a scar, I should think you’d want a good plastic surgeon who’s done men.

    I heard his AG has plans to send in the military to take away your guns! For your safety!

    Heard about something about how his AG pick potentially making it so at least people must register their guns. No idea how true or if it’s gonna happen, but I imagine that alone would be enough to make a lot of his voters super angry.

    Trump is going back to being a Democrat. I feel like I’ve been lied to, but you obviously saw it coming and was one step ahead of me all along. Well played.

    I can’t wait for them to have the same kind of behavior that GOP voters did when they re-elected George Bush back in 2004.

    “He whuh” “Huh whuh” I voted for Trump whuh" As their head spins to see that he’ll do nothing for them when they believed that he would.

      I have a prediction to make.

      I don’t believe Trump will pardon most convicted Jan6ers.

      He might pardon one or two here and there, but the bulk will stay locked up.

      The reason is twofold:

      1. Most of the Jan6ers have nothing to bargain with, Trump won’t waste his time pardoning people who he can’t use…
      2. These are dangerous people, they have shown that they are willing to attack the government, and that is not what

          Most of them will be out before the end of his second term because our justice system is a mockery of itself and the punishment for attacking the seat of government with intent to harm or kill the congresspeople inside is essentially a slap on the wrist. A few years in prison was the typical sentence. Some got only a few months and are already out, others are in there for up to 15 years.

          Genuinely he won’t have to pardon more than a handful of them anyway if he just waits until he’s leaving office for (hopefully) the last time and then he can say he made good on that promise. But make no mistake, he does not care if those dedicated and loyal followers who flew to D.C. on his command and committed treason in his name rot in prison for the rest of their lives. We could only be so lucky.

      There seems to be a pretty strong correlation between the age someones parents die and the age they’re likely to die.

      Trump’s dad lived until 93 and his mom live until 88. He might be here for a bit.

        They didn’t have the lifestyle problems he does though. His diet, lack of exercise, and possibility of long-term damage from COVID put him at a much higher risk of dying younger.

      That’s literally why my several members of my family voted for Trump. They really don’t like Trump (they voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries), but they really like Vance and hope he’ll take over at some point.

      I was blown away, because I was under the impression that Vance was fairly universally disliked. I immediately responded with some equivalent of “clearly we watch very different news.”

        Wait, it’s physically possible to like Vance? I was sure the dislike is on a genetic level like uncanny valley.

        Here’s a fact, there are an overwhelming number of north Koreans that support kim jong un despite it being insane. There is no saving these people. There is no walking them back. We either submit to their cause or they will drop the nukes themselves. The sooner we come to terms with it the sooner we know what must be done.
