  4. yep, the usual concession from MAGA
  5. Correct, Schumer is arguing that a shutdown would give Trump/Musk blanket powers to do whatever they want. SPecifically, kill the courts that are needed to check the power. His argument means that every CR that comes through the Dems will have to agree to pass, no matter what is in the CR. I don't see how it makes sense. If Republicans wanted a shutdown so bad, what is stopping them from doing it on their own? Why would they even offer a CR? Are we really to believe they need to pass a faux CR because the publicity would be too bad to force a shutdown? The publicity is already terrible right now, so what is a little more?
  6. f'n Schumer

  10. With Grok's biased, hallucination prone xAI LLM model? At no charge to US taxpayers, right?
  11. Well, in usual every accusation is an admission fashion, Trump did try to label Biden a war machine and himself the Peace Time President. In Republican MAGA rhetoric that is translated to Trump will be a war machine and people will wish the Peace Time President Biden was still in the White House.

  13. The party that normalized harassing others in public don't like it when engaged in public?
  14. Holle 1 of last 13 behind the arc over last 4 games.
  15. If Republicans will not hold townhalls, Democrats with media in tow absolutely should hold them. This could be an especially effective tactic in Republican strongholds. I would hope the Democrats realize the value in these is not getting Democrats to talk rather Republican voters to air grievances together and organize efforts accordingly.
  16. We have some exclusions as well, who will continue to be excluded "for now". The largest population that loses is working mothers. That is the only population that stands out as affected when these wfh policies get rescinded. Caring for elderly parents is another population that takes a hit here, but not near as statistically significant as working mothers. Fragile white male leadership still scared of the female boogie man.
  17. Yes, that headline is real...we are in total control. We will look for fraud, waste and abuse. But, it will not be our fault. Ignore Operation Lone Star. That is exempt. Ignore the busing migrants program. Ignore trips to South Korea. Ignore the $350k+ State agency salaries of Abbott's former office buddies.
  18. We don't even have half the space required to accommodate our department. And, TFC knows damn well the situation across the State. They constantly have minions walking the buildings counting people. Performative bullshit.
  19. Apologies if addressed already, but ending the "de minimis" exemptions may actually be a good thing or not? I heard it to be a loophole quite often exploited.
  20. Just needs deficit spending to go into the grinding too because the cuts to those programs aren't near enough to cover that tax cut. Also, blanket calling the plan a tax cut is quite an injustice, shown here and repeated by the news organizations, given it is actually a tax increase for 95% of Americans.
  21. Maybe, or create so much anger and unrest he can justify a martial law declaration
  22. This is the only direction it would have gone, short of Ukraine agreeing to become the 51st State. There is a reason Russian State tv was there. That was all a show for Russia but Trump, et all bungled it. They looked like idiots instead of successfully bating Zelensky.
  23. ffffuuuuucccckkkkk..that hits
  24. Nailed it. Simple math, you want about a .01 (unvaccinated measles) chance of a severe reaction that may or may not lead to death or about a 0.000001 (vaccination reaction) chance of a severe reaction that may or may not lead to death? Even that .000001 is really not an uncommon metric for the occurrence of everyday life and allergic reactions. Many people find out they are allergic to something only after taking it....
