Yep. He wants to “help” Trump but also wants to destroy the government and especially the legislature. So he sees the GOP in congress as fine sacrifices. The fact that this could hurt Trump by giving both houses enough of a Dem majority to impeach (albeit I think if Bannon goes too all in against the GOP the GOP will…

You forget, Bannon also has the goal of massively weakening federal power. The GOP don’t want that except in cases like civil rights enforcement. Bannon also desperately wants some kind of war, trade war, real war, something, with China which the GOP are uninterested in. So he’s got his own agenda on quite a few…

Well let’s see...

As I’ve said on a few other places, someone either here or Root or Splinter really needs to do an article on the UDC and Confederate Revisionism. The UDC have played the biggest role to my knowledge since they seem to have the most public “face,” for want of a better word, for pro-Confederate orgs. I think that could…

The idea essentually is that if you can’t tell who used the towel it has to be washed since using someone elses’ is bad. Most people solve this by having two tone towel sets (my parents had pink and green pastel in their bathroom when I was really little, I had white in mine) or separate towel racks/hooks.

I read a great fanfic for it a couple years back that was just amazing. The brothers of the latest “wife” were concerned since she was missing and Bluebeard claimed that she had never showed up for their private wedding ceremony and must have run off with someone else, using his Navy credentials and society gossip as…

Given how he went after the Khans, clearly more than last time. Maybe Ivanka “accidentally” put it in her purse to hide it.

That would require a lot more collective action than I think many Americans are capable of. We’re very individualistic in our activism and that hurts it. Pressuring habitat protections requires pressure on every single industry harming it as well as the government. I’m not saying we can’t, I’m saying it’ll take a lot…

A lot of sanctuaries pride themselves on not breeding because then they can self-righteously say “see, we’re not making MORE captive animals!” which has of course led to some sanctuaries starting to worry as their animals get older and they start to die naturally and there’s nothing to replace them. Another reasons…

That was a nationwide count, sorry if I wasn’t clear. But yeah, still...who is paying for this shit?

That is part of the question. That’s also the issue with the “move them to a sanctuary!” cry: no such sanctuary exists, so you need to get someone to fund something that will probably cost tends of millions to build that you know will eventually be totally abandoned. Humans don’t like to think like that, especially…

We’ll it’s definitely looking like Orcas shouldn’t. There’s other whales that seem to be doing much better, like Belugas, but those are usually in zoos and aquariums instead of theme parks.

I will point out that HSUS is different from your local human societies. While they’ve been cleaning up their act (they used to mishandle a lot of their donations, they seem to have improved this in the last year thankfully) they’re mostly PETA with better PR.

They’ve outright stolen dogs out of yards to kill them. PETA are massive assholes and should never be trusted.

1) that doesn’t help with poachers, a lot of them are very good at sneaking past guards. It also doesn’t help keep numbers up the way focused breeding programs can, depending on species.

Plus food sensitivity (particularly texture sensitivity) is a thing for those of us on the autism spectrum. I WISH I could eat more stuff but so much of it just tastes so darn awful. I’m still trying to figure out why people insit on mixing flavors and textures so gosh darn much, it’s always awful to me but then I’m…

People without broken taste buds are so lucky. There is so much stuff where I’m like that looks/smells great! Got to try it! And then I choke on it. Hate it when that happens.

I’m going to ask you something: where will that facility get the money? That’s part of the issue with the “just put them in a sanctuary” plan: where do you put it, how do you handle it, how do you fund it, and most importantly how do you make sure the sanctuary actually does better than the previous place?

Hoo boy this sounds like a real mess. Especially since she had such trouble finding a lawyer.
