The real national bird is the boneless chicken.
Also, the buffalo
Tyson sends their regards
I found the reason on Wikipedia
“The bald eagle is an opportunistic feeder.”
It’s the bird the US leadership most identifies with.
Was it not already?
Not technically no, we all apparently thought it was. Now it is official.
turkey
Chicken nuggets
Dee is my national bird.
It’s not like if they didn’t pass this law they would have snuck in Medicare for all - I hate the “Is this a good use of your time” argument.
But it’s never a bad time to criticize how ineffective lawmakers are.

I might have been at least somewhat mollified of “Natural Bird” meant “New environmental focus on protecting the species” rather than “National Meme”. Might as well make America’s national bird the Dodo, given the rate at which we’re decimating their ecology.
The bald eagle is well protected as a species. Federal charges for killing one. Course that may change under Trump.
They could get a vote on the record where Republicans voted against healthcare. We got this bird thing though, so that’s neat.
They could have tried to do anything actually beneficial for Americans instead though. Like, think about how many hours of work it took Klobuchar’s political peons just to draft the stupid thing. And, they we paid them to do it!! Get fucked Congress.
Actually the Senate passed this in July. It took until now for Congress to pass literally the easiest partisan bill probably because they were waiting to use it as their next shitty rider platform, or because they were too busy wasting time creating a new committee to investigate TikTok.
Investigating TikTok is money well spent, fuck the CCP.
TikTok is shady in how much info it collects and how tailored the feeds it shows people get.
It is not unique about either of those.
Facebook/Google/et. al. being on this coast instead of that coast doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have exactly the same scrutiny. Literally the only evidence offered that TikTok was in any way special was “we can’t tell you but there’s classified info that means we should ban it.” Which is less than encouraging that the ban is for anything other than because of ‘those dang kids’ being annoying.

It’s a weapon that wants to cause permanent irreversible harm to hundreds of millions of people, by design.
Agreed.
They’re also not materially different from Instagram or Youtube. Singling them out as “the problem” is short-sighted at best.
Both parties are very serious…
…About keeping this economy and system exactly as it is, as they bicker over social wedges that don’t meaningfully impact quarterly earnings expectations.
They’re both paid well by the same oligarchs to do so.
If you wanted to see them scrambling to pass real legislation to protect the government from an incoming administration, you should have elected a leftist. You’d see Democrat and Republican reps holding hands, having sit ins, and desperately chanting we will overcome if an incoming administration was promising to dismantle for profit healthcare, for example.
Don’t worry though, they’d never let that happen. They have all the tools they need to prevent such a disaster as they see it. Their bribes would dry up overnight if they lost control of the narrative and their plebs.
The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.
Have you heard what they sound like? It isn’t what’s usually depicted in videos.
Many times it’s a hawk, similar to how most coyotes in film and TV make wolf howls. Which is crazy because coyotes chattering is much scarier.
They’re dead serious and doing what they were paid to do.
They weren’t paid to protect you, they weren’t paid to make your life easier, they weren’t paid to represent you at all.
All I can say is… I’m glad it’s not the next president who signs it into law.
Yea he would switch it to the Chicken Mcnugget
It would have been cooler if congress lowered the age to qualify for Medicare by one day.
Doesn’t seem very fitting. Maybe pick one of those birds that eat eggs from other species, replaces with their own and then their babies destroy the other eggs.
This timeline is suck.
Gonna be a lot more of this crap real soon
