By Smokey Go To PostImagine thinking and Trump. What a time.
I remember when Obama was elected, I think people on a whole were able to move on and forget that George W. Bush ever existed. Like, it was good riddance and easily wiped from memory, because there was still a chance for return to normalcy; even George W. Bush had his limits. Obama's election felt like there would be a return to progress and we could all just maybe get along again.
But in stark contrast to all that, America turned around and elected Trump instead. I'm too old for rose-tinted glasses now. I will never forget that this country elected Trump, no matter who they elect afterwards. Jesus Christ himself could resurrect and get elected, and I'd still be too skeptical of fellow man, fellow countrymen, fellow all these fucks.
A.) I'm too petty.
B.) I've lost all respect for America.
C.) There is no government anymore; there is only private enterprise.
D.) There is only how much time you have left with your freedom outside of the industrial prison complex to make money and gtfo.
E.) All of the above.
Fuck America. Fuck the whole institution. It let itself down, and the faith in its people is forever crushed, and will never be restored. I'm only out for myself now, and can't wait to ditch all you losers who post on messageboards like it's a free psych session.

Realistically, this is just an effort to deflect blame when / if the shutdown happens. He's trying to place blame on the Dems for shutting down the government, but a week ago he took all the blame and two days ago agreed to sign the CR. If McConnell doesn't lift the filibuster, which he won't because he's not stupid, he can also load blame off on congressional republicans. He'll paint them as weak and his base will eat it up. He could potentially sign the CR after doing this with McConnell, and still lay the blame on them too. "I'm keeping the government open, but only because Mitch is too weak to do anything!" He may even win Coulter over with that move.

We are let down by the fact that Lakers aren't having the greatest season. I was gonna be showing out. Can't even talk shit in the NBA thread now while we're shit.
Don't know where else to post this but......
My nephews have Jimmy Butler fades and I'd knock the refs teeth out if that happened to them.

I think I would have just not wrestled that match and gone straight to the news.
Also Looks like we’re headed for a shutdown

Fender, could you briefly, at your own convenience, summarize how much of a misnomer "government shutdown" is?
Cuz a lot of federal agencies (like the one I work at) are already funded through the (fiscal) year until end of September, and so they will still be operating... and the ones that don't have their funding secured will just be getting paid to stay home.

Certain “essential” parts remain active. Others don’t. Plenty miss pay checks. DY was personally affected by the last one I believe. It’s never a complete shutdown though. Things like federal parks close. That kinda shit

You are a bigger man than I.
Couldn't be me.
By RobNBanks Go To PostWhere do I fit in? I don’t get paid and have to come in to workdid you enlist or something?
I technically get paid, just when all this shit is over. I spoke to an FBI special agent and she said they don’t get paid either, but at least she gets to go home.

Calculations needed for the footings and pole strength to see how many bodies a pole can hold before it breaks

Curious how thick those are and what they’re made of and why this can’t just take two bars down in 10 min.

Still can't understand how a government shutdown is even a thing. It's preposterous that because of a disagreement these individuals who are elected and remunerated by the tax payers just say fuck it.

Real stupidity is a debt ceiling argument after you’ve already agreed to spend the money.
By Fenderputty Go To PostReal stupidity is a debt ceiling argument after you’ve already agreed to spend the money.Debt on a macro level doesn't really matter at all as long as you are the big guy on the playground. Unfortunately for the US, nation states like China are playing the long game. The rough thing about the US is that they have the ability to decrease and eliminate their national debt but just refuse to because of reasons.

Sure I just mean that if you’ve passed laws that cost money we should pay that by lifting the amount of debt we can take out. Currently, we argue about raising the limit and one party holds our credit rating hostage to leverage policy.

Capital lounge.
Just seen that on Facebook people target dead people's accounts, hijack them and post anti-EU propaganda on them. Someone's doing it to my dead aunt's account who died of kidney failure and we have found other patients who died of the same thing have also had their accounts hijacked. Sure it's just trolls having fun rather than a targeted psy ops campaign by a foreign nation whose modus operandi is well known..
