Congress Passes Law Banning Women From Leaving House Without Makeup

Cosmetics Now Compulsory In Public For All Female Adults

WASHINGTON—In a landmark piece of legislation that disgusted supporters said was long overdue, Congress passed a law Thursday banning women from leaving the house without makeup.

“For too long, Americans have lived in fear of walking outside and encountering the unthinkable—a natural-looking woman who refuses to wear cosmetics,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in support of the new measure, which sets strict federal requirements for how much foundation, blush, mascara, and lipstick female citizens must wear when they appear in public.

“As a father, I cannot imagine living in a world where my sons could potentially walk down the street and see a woman without fake eyelashes, contoured cheeks, or plumped lips. When President Trump signs this into law, no woman will ever look dowdy again.”

Johnson added that next week he would bring to the House floor a bill that mandates a minimum prison sentence of 25 years for any woman who, upon encountering a man, fails to giggle and blush before touching his arm and saying, “Well, hello there, handsome.”

Here both not the case.
Awaiting infrastructure ignorance and climate change/mother nature + this admin killing off safeguards to collide further and more often.
Reduced air traffic controllers or letting AI do it. that ever get a remedy?
Super obvious agency to leave alone, destroyed, how many?
All this should be in our faces front page on blast, but flooded with them!
It has to end or I do is how I am personally trying to look at it and using average age at death, that would give me 20ish years left, so all in all, just glad I wasn't born into this shitshow, 2015+ with climate change likely to harm the majority in this lifetime, feels like safe bet as outcome.
He removed stuff that was anti-pollution measures, decades old some of them? Other than for corrupt $ stupidity, no other reason available & should be noticed by someone when developing this tripe to shut it down in the first place instead of Whims McPisy and his demented brain stuff?
That alone should have drawn a hell of a lot of NEGATIVE AF attention!!!!!?
