  1. Good basic summary. I would also add that Trump has repeatedly unilaterally overwritten Congressional passed laws (tariffs, selectively defunding departments he doesn't like, etc) and the pubs in congress have done absolutely nothing to oppose it to the point that even if they "make a deal" there is ample reason to believe it will just be overwritten the second the government reopens. Basically there is absolutely no reason for the dems to in any way help pass anything at this point. This is what happens when you elect not serious performative people to manage serious things. chaos.
  2. Sure, but can we just ensure Trump is never allow to get any?
  3. Wait, so your wife is worried about her $1.50 being spent to save the government from being rigged in favor of Trump??
  4. Yea and its not even just MTG. Last time there was a shut down and the Dems has a slim senate majority I remember there was wall to wall pubs on every TV news show making this very point…they have the majority and can end it anytime. If the dems are too lazy to say it themselves, at least did up old footage of pubs saying the same thing and plaster it on social media.
  5. I wish the senate dems would just propose a rule change to kill the filibuster so that a simple majority can pass any budget continence. Make THEM vote against that.
  6. If they really want to go where they want to ultimately end up…. only master race athletes… shit lets just make that students…allowed! Make America Great Again!
  7. Interesting. I wonder if Dotard would be interested in joining our tumor board this month. We could make it nationwide and exclusive to his enthusiastic supporter patients. His recommendations should be binding.
  8. DHS chief Kristi Noem claims cartels have put $10,000 bounties on heads of specific ICE agents https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kristi-noem-immigration-chicago-cartels-b2839729.html
  9. One “dark spot”? Depends on which sequence he is talking about but “dark, black as sin” on all sequences indicates heavily calcified and probably benign like meningioma. Milo, being a shitty human, is probably gonna live a long long life.
  10. I’m not sure why. This SC already has decided the cases before the hearings. They should just skip the formality at this point.
  11. 1000's of kids shot and killed at school..... yawn minors snached from their parents and deported.... yawn suspension of habitus corpus...... yawn military used against citizens for reasons..... yawn rescinding congress's authority to control spending.....yawn forming secret police force for personal use.... yawn Billions of personal grift including a 747......yawn prosecution of political critics....yawn getting list of names from a private group........ ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!
  12. Believe they have the authority?? Can't rule it out?? SCOTUS has explicitly said "Fuck yea they can!"
  13. A six figure paycheck and full pardon?
  14. I mean maybe, but only because 100 milion of our fellow citizens would be spewing giz all over their computers and TVs. Throw in a couple of gays getting beat to death and 1/3 of country will be such in complete ecstasy they may not be able to get out of bed on Monday which may collapse the economy. If you are trying to imply the image of a bunch of browns being beaten, raped or killed would spur some outrage in this country....nah.
  15. No the employees have standing, they just filed the case in the wrong court. The correct court is which ever court Trump just disbanded, which is obviously illegal but because it no longer exists, no one has standing to sue to reinstate it. So sad, but they tried!
  16. This is true but I think the most important thing the pubs figured out is that fear and anger are much much stronger that "caring about others" or "doing the right thing for society". It's that simple. Despite what George Lucas tried to sell us, fear and hate are the strongest motivators outside of food/shelter/sex. And since the dems are not selling those other things, their message is just weak and no one gives a shit. The gig is up. Pubs and Fox News figured out and have fully exploited the hack to our lizard brains. Until there is a full economic collapse resulting in food/shelter shortages, nothing the Dems say is gonna break through.
  17. Wait, is this real? I had no idea she had both Downs syndrome and Cushings Disease. Now I feel bad for making fun of her.
  18. Don’t take our word for it, let MAGA princess Marjorie Taylor Green explain it https://www.thedailybeast.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-turns-on-trump-and-tells-gop-to-end-the-shutdown/
  19. Not those precious Senate rules!! Here is a list of the recent times the GOP has modified those sacred precious senate rules to get what they want. I will venmo you $100 for each one you can demonstrate your documented expressed shock at this travesty of tradition! *Offering you money is in no way to be construed as a physical threat. 2017: Supreme Court nominations. In April 2017, Republicans used the nuclear option to eliminate the 60-vote threshold for Supreme Court nominations. This occurred during the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch, after Democrats filibustered the nomination. The move extended a 2013 decision by Democrats that had eliminated the 60-vote requirement for lower-level nominations. 2019: Post-cloture debate time. In April 2019, Republicans used the maneuver to reduce the debate time for some presidential nominees from 30 hours to two. The change affected nominations to district courts and sub-Cabinet executive branch positions, but not Cabinet-level or appeals court judges. September 2025: En bloc nominations. In September 2025, during the second Trump administration, Republicans again used the nuclear option to expedite the confirmation process for numerous presidential nominees. This change allowed the Senate to confirm multiple nominees for sub-Cabinet and ambassador positions in a single vote, bypassing individual votes and the 60-vote threshold that had previously applied to bloc nominations.
  20. Exactly. They are in complete control. Nuke it, negotiate it, whatever. Bottomline, they own it and no amount of “well there is the Senate….” changes fact so simple, even a caveman gets it.
