Honestly, what do you think would have happened if those officers tried stopping the crowds from entering?

Remember how the crowds just went home after they got bored? Probably that. It's the only "insurrection" in history that got stopped by the insurrectionists apparently deciding they didn't actually feel like overthrowing the government after all.
 
No one outside of the DMV area gives a shit about government shutdowns. It would have had no effect on the election.
Reality says differently because every time it has occurred, Republicans lost support. If you have issue with that fundiemental fact, take it up with Reality itself.
 
The thing that amuses me with this picture is that, if you personally know RFK like I do, then you can tell he is actually perfectly happy to eat that big mac. He just has this resting squint that makes him look unhappy at every moment of his life. Which makes for comedy gold on the pic.
Yeah. Kennedy's whole thing is the extreme overuse of these industrial chemicals and processes, even in the strangest and unnecessary places. You can eat your McDonalds burger. Just only go there once every month or two. The whole bent of Kennedy's argument is that you can't just go to a slop place like Micky D's four times a year and weather the storm of the junk you just ate; you literally can't escape the slop and even the healthy food that is marketed as such is filled with the poison.
 
Dan Goldman, who is probably fucked when Trump gets back in office(he was part of the first impeachment and likely took part in evidence tampering and has been hindering congressional investigations since he was elected), appeared high on a MSNBC interview to discuss his resolution to tell Trump you cannot run three times because Trump never jokes. Notice his pupils and the constant rocking back and forth. Oh and why the fuck is he gasping for air?

Dan either appears to be snorting or suffering from severe anxiety.

Good luck, Dan. Also, Rachel Maddow looks like shit.

Yes I know it cuts off...X is being a cock...My point gets through with what is posted.
 
some retard: I’d rather be broke and struggling then (sic) vote for someone that encourages hate towards certain groups simply for existing.
The implication of course being that we should all be so willing to suffer so their goals may be achieved. They are perfectly willing to sell out your happiness so they can feel good about themselves. Ties in perfectly to something I was writing yesterday.

I remember a phrase that came up so much around 2016, ‘temporarily embarrassed millionaires.’ I think the intention was to mock people who support economic policies that benefit people wealthier than they could ever be, the ‘1%’ I guess it was back then. But looking back the message is obvious: what, you have aspirations? You have hope for the future? A worm like you? You are unworthy of moving beyond your current station in life and must sacrifice yourself so we may artificially elevate the brown and gay.

These people are deeply in love with misery and choose it every day. They sneer at anyone who wants to make something of themselves; they’ll mock anyone who believes life can actually get better. It’s not motivated by altruism, it’s motivated by spite. Not only are they content with cutting off their nose to spite their face, they’ve got a knife ready for yours too. There are not enough hats in the world to convey my hatred.
Honestly the Tallow thing may actually be more significant then we think, assuming that the taste and/or health difference is noticeable if seed oils are restricted or banned.
Unrelated, I kind of wish they could roll things back one at a time so we can determine what exactly causes what. But I also realize some changes won’t be seen for a generation or two so it’s just not practical. We need help now.

Nobody likes or trusts Con Inc or the GOPe. Trump made mistakes but Mitch McConnell or whoever was never going to dethrone him with DeSantis or whoever.
I never was able to get to any real information on Desantis being funded/pushed by never trump folks. All i could find was Jeff Roe, and I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't push those rumors himself to line his pockets with tasty TASTY Pac/SuperPac money. Never Back down PAC was all roe and the Ryan faction.

The military does—they don’t get paid. Which means all of the strippers and Denny’s waitresses and car stealerships that service the military don’t either.
 
The Nostradumbass of Elections Allan Lichtman has been coping, seething in post election interviews. He complains abiut 300 billionare Musk, misinformation, repeats r/somethingiswrong2024 talking points, and threatens to leave when the newscaster offers slight pushback. Also bitches and moans about doxing and dissenters. Does 'I lost my keys' Lichtman have a dedicated thread yet?
Thing is, if you go by his keys, Trump would have been elected. The problem is that he's so fucking buck broken to the DNC that his bias ended up clouding his view.
A-listers don’t exist anymore. People no longer go to movies because of who’s acting in them. That hasn’t stopped Hollywood from trying to create them, but no one cares.
Hollywood did everything they could to kill the A-lister in favor of IP draw, because it takes leverage away from the actors and gives more power to the studios. The problem is it’s much harder to convince people to care about new/original IP’s without the star power, so now they’re trying to create A-listers again but it’s not really working because the dipshits love running their mouths on Twitter, lol.
Hollywood is going to face a crisis at some point where all their "A-list actors" are going to no longer exist. Currently, the vast majority of actors that people know and enjoy got famous sometime around the turn of the millennium. After that, you'll be hard pressed to find a big name actor who has the same name recognition as Leonardo DiCaprio or even god damn Adam Sandler. Once these guys retire/die, who is going to replace them? Well, right now, it seems like a bunch of No Name™️ diversity hires only contracted on their color of their skin. Of course, it's also worth mentioning that actors are now a closed of club of who's who; you'll never hear another like Harrison Ford meeting Lucas while installing a wooden door for Francis Ford Coppola.

A "government shutdown" only means the government can't borrow more money. It can spend no more than its revenue. Soldiers not getting paid in a government shutdown is 100% a decision of the executive branch, it decides where the money it brings in as revenue goes and where it doesn't in a "government shutdown" situation

This means that the poor old federal government would only have $4.92 TRILLION (FY 2024 revenue) to spend instead of $6.75 TRILLION (FY 2024 budget)

THE HORROR THE ABSOLUTE HORROR OF DC ONLY HAVING 5 TRILLION DOLLARS TO SPEND IN A FISCAL YEAR. HOW COULD THE COUNTRY SURVIVE

I can confirm that's a common Florida Man pastime, though not this specific incident. The not-so-little bastards are tough, you can shoot them in the head and it will knock them out but by the time you make it over to them they've woken back up and started to run off. A lot of people will take boat rides down canals and shoot the ones on the banks

Airguns typically aren't very loud though, and if you go to Wal-Mart and buy one these days they tend to all have mediators (basically suppressors) built in to the barrels to make them even more quiet

I wouldn't be surprised if old guy was shooting at them with his .22lr and just told the cops/SS it was his airgun when they showed up, you can get .22 caliber airguns which is what most iguana hunters use
