Anyone who voted yes on the bill.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe just...

More seriously: nothing, because the Gulf of Mexico has seen more than enough pollution.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

How about water purification tablets? That would clean the water wouldn't it? 🤔

Bodies good for feeding the creatures there

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago

If we can stop things ending up in the Gulf, instead of polluting it -

Stop fertilizer runoff and disappear oil rigs, move all hotels back from the beach by a quarter mile or so.

If that option is unavailable, Ron Desantis, Rick Scott, Ashley Moody and Beth Bondi, Citizens United, and the gerrymandered voting district maps.

Bobbin' around like grotesque apples

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

We had the Boston Tea Party and they threw all the tea into the harbor.

I think we should name this one the Gulf of Mexico MAGA Party and act accordingly.

the hardest thing about being a socialist is spelling bourgeois

Honestly fuck the fr*nch for that one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 43 minutes ago

it's always the fr*nch

Every Republican.

This is the kind of [ Removed by Reddit ] content I'm here for

Please refrain from throwing trash in the ocean, its bad enough as it is

[–] [email protected] 43 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It doesn't have to be the whole billionaire.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Chunks of billionaire approximately 1 inch across are the best for local fauna to digest effectively.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Save the heads! We can mount them on pikes as a deterrent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Maybe build a wall ….

[–] [email protected] 46 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Some would call them "billioun cubes"

Those that voted for those that voted for it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

That would be a large portion of the country. Last I checked, I don't know of many, if any, politicians who voted "No!" when the time came. So unless I'm mistaken and some did, you'd be polluting the ocean and because the average American is like 300lbs ( source: I made it the fuck up ), we'd just end up damming it up and causing devastation.

They don't have to be corpses.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

But then you'll need to weigh them down. Pre-corpsed Republicans is cheaper than chains and weights, but I have to admit that the other method may be more satisfying.

Or concrete boots and a coast with nice tides.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Not if you’re out far enough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

We start giving MAGAts helicopter rides?

[–] [email protected] 80 points 23 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 32 points 21 hours ago

Republicans, obviously. Viva Le Gulf Of Mexico.

Capitalists and the rulers who do their bidding

[–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours ago

I agree with others stating that the bodies of those supporting it work for me.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 22 hours ago

Why would I pollute the guild of Mexico?

So jealous of my UK brethren who can ask this question

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

The UK passed a bill on the same day cutting literally half the support money disabled people rely on and plunging 150’000 into poverty. So people across the pond may be focused on that.

Oh and the fact you can get 14 years in prison and be labelled a terrorist for saying you support a peaceful charity against Israeli genocide.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

At least they didn't pass a bill that will destroy the environment.

Yet. I think Germany will be the next one in that respect. Fuck Merz.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

I am an uneducated American, thank you for sharing this. Really repugnant. This cancer is global and growing.
