  1. It's moments like these when new leaders are born. The Clintons/Obamas/Bidens are all gone. Chuck and Nancy might as well be. I'm not sure how much sway Bernie has nowadays. Young Guns, this is your moment. Do or do not.
  2. Introduced by Andy Biggs (R-AZ). No cosponsors yet (fortunately). https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/86
  3. Blessed be the fruit. Under his eye.
  4. And with that delay, he hoped a few state legislatures would go along with changing their electoral college voters to tip the balance of the election. They called this play the "Green Bay Sweep."
  5. First shot fired: Sternly-worded note.
  6. So, can you maybe tell us what the fucking point of it all was? This is like a hysterical wife threatening divorce over leaving the toilet lid up. And then talking her off the ledge by reaching a deal that you'll put it down if she'd flush her piss and TP that she always leaves floating. Okay, so now we're going to pretend that the US will crack down on smuggling assault weapons into Mexico, and they'll crack down on fentanyl being smuggled into the US. You're the Trump supporter. Tell us, what's the beef with Canada again? They're not a major source of undocumented migrants and fentanyl. Explain that shit. Do you just enjoy the chaos, or what?
  7. Last week, I read an article about refining in the Midwest (yes, apparently, there are refineries up there), which stated that Midwestern refineries are almost entirely dependent on Canadian oil. So, I imagine those will also feel the pain, if not worse. Edit: I hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but I believe that @Schulz2.0 works at one in Denver. What say you?

  10. Out of curiosity, GRUhorn, have you kept up with the number of times you've been banned or crowdsourced from this site? It's an honest question. A couple of years ago, I think it was about a dozen. What's it up to now, three dozen, maybe?
  11. So, with Leon taking over the federal government's payment processing systems, are we about to see him pull off the ultimate version of the Office Space scam?
  12. I guess we didn't need their precious fucking Keystone pipeline so badly after all.
  13. About 42% of all our imports come from Mexico, China, and Canada. This free-linked article lists about 150 products that are dominated by those countries in case you want an idea of what's most likely to be affected. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/02/01/business/economy/mexico-china-canada-imports-tariffs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.t04.VLdD._cURLID1HUgD&smid=url-share
  14. About 42% of all imports in the US come from Mexico, China, and Canada. Free link to very short article, but it has a long list of about 150 products that we import the most from these countries. Good to scan to see what's likely to start costing more: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/02/01/business/economy/mexico-china-canada-imports-tariffs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.t04.VLdD._cURLID1HUgD&smid=url-share

  16. This thread might be ended before it's all over. On the other hand, it's over.
  17. Thanks. Yes, for clarification, he said the temps were ABOVE freezing at that altitude. Too late to edit my post.
  18. I'm watching a local news station on YouTube. One of their reporters on the scene came across this oxygen tank about a 1/4-mile away from the impact site (they're saying it's a large debris field). Also, the weather guy checked the temp readings about a 1/2-mile in elevation (max height at which the plane reached), and the temp was below freezing. So, they think that ice was likely NOT a factor. As I was typing this, they read a quote from a city council person, there are mass casualties on the ground. Reports are that it's a gruesome scene. Edit: Also, also the plane crashed only about 30 seconds after take-off, according to what the anchors just said. The flight was heading to Springfield, MO.
  19. From the comments:
  20. So, as a result of this ruling, the mostly blue states that sued will continue to receive funding, but the red states that are going along with Trump's idiocy will not. \
  21. From my understanding, they're ostensibly being imposed to curb illegal immigration and fentanyl smuggling. At least, that's one rationale I've read.
