119th congress: must be at least 75 to chair a committee!

[Handyman]

You can hope in one hand and shit in the other…

The only way to actually change anything in this country would be through constitutional amendments or a completely new constitution, and that is not happening without a complete turnaround in political thought in 90% of the country. And it’s not going to happen peacefully.

We’re heading for a bloody, dark future, best to prepare now.

Yeah unless there is a massive upheaval in who is in charge things are going to get ugly. Affordability is not changing because Delta got the deal they wanted. Starving people eat (all the) rich.

How many people are willing to die because they are racists? That's is what this comes down to. They talk a lot, sure, but when someone shoots back, then what? Let alone, the only shooting that has happened so far is right on right. Twice now.

Nope, it won't feel like that to them.

Let me put it differently: how many people are willing to die with a clean moral conscience to prevent themselves and everyone they know from an afterlife of eternal torture because they willingly allowed Satan to rule over them in their mortal earthly life?

Timothy would die from fear of his Invisible Sociopath Sky Daddy.

God said, "You can do anything you want, but
Next time you see me comin', you better run"

Abe said, "Where you want this killin' done?"

There's too much excitement in that prediction. It's an MCU view of conflict. War as epic adventure.

Real war, without limits, is manure pouring from your child's infected intestinal wound while she screams for days until she dies.

A hundred years of tyranny is better than one week of true barbarism.

Jim doesn't want it in reality...he is just saying it is coming. There is basically two chances to stop it and the people who need to lead that are in league with the other side. The goose is mostly cooked because Dem Leadership is just Republicans with a fake Target Smile.

Bingo.

And guess what? Nothing has changed and we’ll be shut down again in January.

So all this rending of garments over caving is just a tantrum without actually surveying what happened.

We got them to admit they won’t do ACA and now we’ve gotten SNAP back fully funded, federal workers might be able to pay their mortgages and rent this month and next, and we have fair warning of what to expect in January.

That property east of Galveston is still available. I'm also selling a piece of land just a few miles northeast of Duluth. Both undeveloped and ready to be built for purpose!

Ok.

 

[ticapnews]

What makes you think SNAP will be funded? You keep pretending this was negotiated in good faith the deal isn't worth the paper if it's written on and if you are right and another shutdown happens Trump will cut it off again if he wants to. There were Senate GOPers saying as much when the shutdown started the Dems have zero reason to trust any deal.

The Dems will have zero leverage in January. You cant whine about Health Care Costs when twice in under a year you refused to anything meaningful about it and that is what the Dems have done. And spoiler alert...they won't in January either because they don't have the balls to do what must be done under pressure. When 60% of the voters are behind you and you cave you arent playing the game you arent part of the orgy you are just in the corner jerking off...

What this has done is embolden the Nazis so when the government shuts down in January it won't just be SNAP. They have been dreaming of getting rid of Social Security since 1934...

13th Amendment on the table.

Yup. The GOP will hold out for everything knowing if they offer platitudes and half promises Schumer will give it all to them.

Dems: health care is out of control the Republicans need to do something about it its crazy!

GOP: nah you do something!

Dems: maybe in 3 months...(rinse, repeat)

Christ even the Honorable Mayor ftom McKinsey knows this sucks!



Dems: prices are out of control affordability is our main concern!

GOP: things are expensive but sacrifices need to be made.

Trump: I dont want to hear about affordability!

Dems: we can talk about it later.

 

[Handyman]

For those of you saying "we do this all again in January" lets play a little game...

Scenario 1: You work for a company that is not paying you what you are worth. You need a new contract or you will have to look around for something better. The guy in charge of the negotiation with you is notorious for caving after a few days. He is saying no to all your offers...what do you do?

Scenario 2: same situation but the negotiator is notorious for reneging on deals on a whim. Has a track record of promising the moon then never following through and takes credit for all your work anyways while laying blame on everyone else. What do you do?

This.

 

[Kepler]

I know he doesn't genuinely want it. But I am saying don't be so blase about saying it. If we manifest this just to say edgy shit on social media we'll have been even more self-destructive than Panface.

 

[Kepler]

That's me saying Jim's original prediction could come true, and I am terrified. "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."

This is great, from that article. Maybe I should have stayed a Sociologist:

One study found that the probability of a baseball pitcher hitting a batter with a ball increases as the temperature goes up. The pitchers weren’t losing the ability to control where the ball goes (the number walks issued was the same across heat levels) but they were feeling frustrated

I’m not being blasé and I’m not trying to manifest anything, I am soberly discussing a likely scenario.

Crazy that the Third Reich lasted until just 1945, but the Nazis still haven’t given up on repealing social security. I think if Democrats merely had a Jewish man from New York as the Senate Minority Leader, who lost family during the Holocaust, we wouldn’t be caving so much to the Nazis.

Fair enough. Speak your truth.
