Not too uncommon among certain demographics in urban environments. A mix of kids needing an out from shitty home life and lack of strong parental figures leads to these kids joining gangs and screwing their futures up over needing to fit in. It all becomes a really tragic self-perpetuating cycle. I have no sympathy for your late 20s wannabe thug, but no kid deserves that fate.

Hope these two turn their lives around, but they probably won't.

If a list ever emerges at this point, I wouldn't even trust it. It would've been passed back and forth in some shadow committee until they've stricken all the names the public isn't allowed to know, and replaced with enemies of the party.

That's probably why it never got released to begin with. After redacting all the important people, there might have only been a few names left and the public wouldn't have believed such a short list.

Since most black people live in cities, where there is a lot of street lights and crosswalks, wouldn't that mean that majority White neighborhoods have the opposite?

Republicans are the issue not the war in Ukraine or sanctions on Russia.
Seems to be more debt ceiling morale faging which amounts to they just raise after the drama.
The White House on Monday accused the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, of taking the US economy hostage by attaching conditions to any extension of the country’s debt ceiling.

“Speaker McCarthy is breaking with the bipartisan norm… by engaging in dangerous economic hostage-taking that threatens hard-working Americans’ jobs and retirement savings,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said.

McCarthy said in a speech at the New York Stock Exchange that the debt ceiling should be raised but only in tandem with spending cuts to address the national debt.

President Joe Biden has said repeatedly that he is ready to discuss spending reductions but that Congress must first pass a “clean” — no-strings-attached — debt ceiling increase before the current budget runs out of money sometime this summer.

Bates said McCarthy had been “vague” in what he proposed needed cutting but that his priorities indicated an “extreme” position that would favor the “super-rich, special interests and profitable companies.”

“Rather than ask the super wealthy to pay their fair share, they propose cutting services for veterans. Rather than cut spending to Big Pharma, they propose sending manufacturing jobs overseas to countries including China,” Bates alleged.

The back-and-forth is the opening salvo in what is expected to be an intense political battle between Democrat Biden and McCarthy over the coming months.

The US government is expected to run out of money in the summer, defaulting on its debt for the first time in history, if Congress does not authorize additional borrowing — an accounting maneuver that has become standard practice over the years.

Here’s our plan:

In the coming weeks, the House will vote on a bill to lift the debt ceiling into next year, save taxpayers trillions of dollars, make us less dependent on China, and curb high inflation — all without touching Social Security or Medicare.

Simply put, it puts us on a responsible fiscal path in three ways: limit, save, and grow.

First – we will limit federal spending.

In the past two years, discretionary spending in Washington has exploded by over 17 percent. That’s faster than GDP growth and even inflation.

And keep in mind, that new spending does not include the trillions of dollars of COVID-era spending.

From 2011 through 2021, the Federal Government operated under binding spending caps.

Though these caps occasionally changed because of bipartisan debt limit negotiations, they were largely successful: discretionary spending flatlined and overall spending growth slowed dramatically.

Our legislation accomplishes the same goal by returning the federal government to 2022 spending levels—and then limiting the growth of spending over the next 10 years to 1 percent annual growth.

Don’t believe anyone who says these are draconian limits. They’re the same spending levels we operated under just last October. And we make sure that our veterans and our service members are taken care of.

But the bloated, overgrown bureaucracy that has expanded under President Biden needs to be pruned, and that’s exactly what we’ll do. If Washington wants to spend more, it will have to come together to find savings elsewhere – just like every household in America does.

This will restore discipline to Washington budgeting and help put an end to reckless spending that caused inflation.

Second – we will save taxpayers money.

In his unserious budget proposal, President Biden wants to spend more this year than the government did during the height of the pandemic.

Just think about that.

House Republicans believe the opposite should happen: before we borrow another dime, we owe it to our children to save money everywhere.

Our proposal will examine wasteful Washington spending and executive overreach in all its forms.

Among other items, it will claw back tens of billions of dollars in unspent COVID-related money.

House Republicans have already passed a bill to officially end the pandemic emergency, and President Biden signed it into law last week.

Now, it’s time for Washington to return to normal.

The American people are tired of politicians who use COVID as an excuse for more extreme, inflationary spending.

If the money was authorized to fight the pandemic but was not spent during the pandemic, it should not be spent after the pandemic is over.

Third – we will grow the economy so we stop being dependent on China.

House Republicans have already passed H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, with bipartisan support.

Among other things, this bill restores American energy leadership, makes it easier to build things in America, makes us less dependent on China, and brings jobs back to America. That will grow our economy.

Our proposal will also include restoring work requirements that ensure able-bodied adults without dependents earn a paycheck and learn new skills. That will grow our economy and help the supply chain.

Right now, there are more job openings than people looking for jobs, in part because the Biden Administration weakened work requirements.

Incentives matter. And the incentives today are out of whack.

It’s time to get Americans back to work.

Don’t believe anyone who says our plan hurts America’s social safety net. We’re a generous nation, and when people fall on tough times, we help them. That will not change.

But this is important: assistance programs are supposed to be temporary, not permanent. A hand up, not a hand out. A bridge to independence, not a barrier.

Just as Ronald Reagan understood the importance of economic growth, we should welcome and celebrate the benefits of a strong, growing economy.”

For with a strong, growing economy, we will no longer be dependent upon China, we will no longer be victims to inflation, and we can protect and preserve Social Security and Medicare.

Joepedo has done nothing after their first meeting months ago, and wants to do the normal tactic of wait until the end to force chaos and theatrics, McCarthy needs to force an actual budget for next year or do nothing and let things default. Just keep repeating Joepedo did nothing for months. And there will likely be the GOPe fags in the senate saying "bro just roll over bro we'll get them next year bro" but McCarthy can then point to the Gay Turtle going through with the resolution last year instead of giving McCarthy the power he would have had in a few months time.

This will be a real test, McCarthy's also got better favorables than anyone in government right now. Do what the people want, if only this one time.

Could the Freedom Caucasus stonewall this too or am I getting my rules of voting on shit mixed up?

I wonder what exactly the Biden admin is planning here. It really does look like they are stuck on the old 2000's playbook and refuse to realize shit has changed and they can't just play the same "wait till the last moment to demand it gets passed by playing into a demand of unity" shit.
