<BMM> "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP?"
<Uncle_Bones> btw new law going through senate right now will allow trump to have full control over all federal regulations without congress or agency approval

<Uncle_Bones> speaking of bad laws
<BMM> source uncle bones?
<DeputyBS> that makes pence donkey
<DeputyBS> because hes an asshole

<BMM> ara jasus that's going to be in legalese. Is there a source that translates that?
<Uncle_Bones> btw he also froze all EPA grants and got five of my friends fired as a result + their years of research ruined in one day
<BMM> wait what
<Uncle_Bones> and a ton of agencies are now forebidden from discussing anything with the public or media
<Uncle_Bones> until further notice
<Uncle_Bones> say hi to the burning ship
<DeputyBS> he defunded clinics that give counseling for abortion
<BMM> that's the mexico city policy, that applies internationally
<BMM> not domestically. but he's going to defund them alway
<DeputyBS> also democrats are making a deal where if trump gives them $1 trillion for infrastructure they'll support his decisions
<BMM> in other news i heard cananda was lovely at this time of year
<BMM> ireland too, a lot of europe really. not britain though
<Uncle_Bones> my b plan involves moving to poland
<DeputyBS> if worse comes to worst i can try to bunk with erga in toronto
<Uncle_Bones> it's looking more and more like a shift to the b plan now, though getting the family along will prove uh
<Uncle_Bones> difficult
<Uncle_Bones> and costly
<DeputyBS> only a couple hours from where i live
<BMM> Poland's not a bad place. I've heard some shitty things in regards to abortion laws going on there though
<BMM> and my Polish friend says he'll pretty much never return since the government is shit
<Uncle_Bones> btw USDA also is one of the agencies barred from public and media reports so they can't tell anyone about potential dangers with food being sold
<Uncle_Bones> poland is my plan b because i can move and live there with people without needing to pay for awhile
<Uncle_Bones> so it's a realisitic option
<BMM> oh that's cool
<BMM> you have family there i assume?
<Uncle_Bones> heh it's more a panic mode no goon thought would need to be in effect ever
<Uncle_Bones> no just friends
<Uncle_Bones> russia is also an option but like
<Uncle_Bones> that wouldn't be much of a change
<Uncle_Bones> and probably would end up worse in the long run
<DeputyBS> dont worry russia is gonna come to us!
<Uncle_Bones> pf
* boo_block (wat@caffie-10363642.dhcp.inet.fi) has joined
<Uncle_Bones> in the end everyone should have a panic/desperation plan just in case
<Uncle_Bones> never know when things will go postal
<DeputyBS> the worst part is no one is gonna look at any of this going on
<BMM> I am incredibly lucky of where I am and where I was born
<DeputyBS> cuz theyre focused on punching nazis and alternative facts memes
<Uncle_Bones> given these agencies are completely barred from media reports
<Uncle_Bones> a lot of it just can't be told anyway
<BMM> not to sound nationalistic but I am proud of Ireland and the Irish people. If i had my way I would never leave
<DeputyBS> or just the superficial bullshit like trump complaining about hillary winning the popular vote still
<Noivern> choco contest results are in
<BMM> unfortunately I might need to because of my job prospects or other reasons, but if I do I would still want to return
<DeputyBS> i love the us i just hate the people in charge and what they're currently doing to this country
<BMM> trump was complaining today abut people not liking him
<BMM> motherfucker you're the leader of a huge country where 50% of the population is gonna dislike you intensely anyway
<BMM> add onto the fact you're delibertely being divise as fuck
<BMM> yeah, course people aren't gonna like you
<BMM> What the fuck did you think Obama had to deal with?
<DeputyBS> btw bones what do you do to keep tabs of all this
<DeputyBS> oh yeah and the guy that's now the head of the fcc is gonna try to get rid of net neutrality
<BMM> that will be fun
<Uncle_Bones> i know a lot of plugged in folks online that send reports around, usually people who work for agencies or folks who know folks; the key is to keep track of how often what they say is actually real and not fake leak bullshit
<BMM> and by fun, i'm going to miss your shitposts :(
<Uncle_Bones> if surface reports look interesting and/or bad i check in with goons and see if they have heard anything about it
<Uncle_Bones> following congress.gov helps as well
<Uncle_Bones> they don't exactly try to hide most of it
<Uncle_Bones> it's just that most folks don't care enough to read up
<Uncle_Bones> the reality is that conspiracy bullshit doesn't really exist; if there's anything to blame for what's happening, it's an uninformed and lazy voting body
<Uncle_Bones> the info is all out there and available if you go looking
