So basically all that bitching was for nothing.
The Senate (which needs 60 votes) will try to submit a worse spending bill.

Having a united Republican house means that Dems won’t be able to pressure for much and will eat shit on a shutdown.

Massie tardraging could have made the republicans position slightly weaker in the senate CR negotiations. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter because:


The actual full budget bill will be passed via the reconciliation process, which only needs 51 senate votes. That’s how Biden got the Inflation Reduction Act through.

Twitter leftists are incensed over Steak n Shake adding beef tallow back to their fries

You know, Fatpacks, sometimes you post something and it's fucking great. Others will disagree, but I'm glad you're around. Good work on the archiving as well.
Kinda weird they are using beef tallow for their tendies though, why not Shmaltz?
Beef tallow is more affordable. There's more of it and a higher demand. However, if no one has ever cooked with schmaltz, I highly recommend it. Not to start a spergfest about Jews and cooking, but they know what they're doing with that stuff.
An example of someone getting Jewed by ranked choice voting apparently:
Ranked choice voting is commie gobbledegook and everyone should oppose it.
 
This whole recession thing is like giving someone a broken toy, and than accusing them of breaking it.
Abandoning 70 years of trade agreements we established, while spitting in the face of our closest allies and economic partners (not named israel) tends to accelerate things.

We put checks and balances in place so the president couldn't unilaterally decide our foreign economic policy. Now that is out the window, so the fallout will land squarely on Trump.

If he pulls us out of it, I'll praise him, but entire industries are scrambling to get everything from construction materials to large industrial equipment delivered before tariffs hit, which has my entire trade on pins and needles for looming work shortages in the near future.

What does a strong auto industry do when the people who drive their vehicles are penny pinching out of fear or outright unemployed, and the companies who buy their work trucks don't have work?
 
I tried to watch that shit and didn’t get 2 minutes in. Sam Satyr’s opening move was “I claim that Trump outlawing DEI is more about distracting us from him giving more power to corporations”, I was hoping someone would press him at all or ask him to be more expansive, but no, the first fucking retard goes up and accepts the premise of his question at face value and begins trying to argue from there. I hate these fucking videos. All it would take is one person being like ”But why? How is that true?” and it would be over.
Late reply but I want to bring up how Sedar makes the claim that only 900 kids received puberty blockers in the past five years from 2020 to 2025. I looked up how many kids are born in the U.S yearly and in both 2021 and 2023 it was around 3.6 million kids born. Obviously no kid should be encouraged into transgenderism, but liberals argue that republicans are making a big deal out of something that effects a tiny minority. However, if his numbers are correct then this argument can just as easily be fired back on them. Why is the media so obsessed with putting trannies into everything despite them being an extremely tiny minority? Why are democrats dying on this hill and wasting time complaining about the 1 boy that gets banned from girls sports then? Its one boy, who gives a fuck. Why does that one boys right matter more than all the girls who are uncomfortable with him being there? This whole thing just proves the big money behind transgenderism.
 
Abandoning 70 years of trade agreements we established
The dynamics of international trade has changed A LOT in those 70 years. Back then we were a manufacturing powerhouse, now we are little more than a pay piggy for several continents full of welfare queens. We need some drastic adjustments if we are going to stay in that top spot.
 
So basically all that bitching was for nothing.
Yes. The CR exists solely to keep Trump's tax cuts(which Dems and Biden kept in) and to give them the time to work on the reconciliation bill as the reconciliation bill bypasses the filibuster. This is why all these budget hawks going on and on about Massie being right and Republicans "caving" are fucking retarded. Everything Massie wants is coming in the reconciliation bill, but we cannot get there without the CR keeping the government open.
