More of you need to get on my team. The national debt doesn't matter, run it up even higher.

Also illegals should be lucky they can even breathe the air within US borders.

Also also Medicaid and all that should be for every citizen or no citizen. Sick of people getting special treatment.

Lastly free Hat!

The hatman approves of free Hats.

we need a libertarian party lolcow thread, i swear to God.

I am not a lawctologist but would it not already be illegal to rent to someone in the country illegally?

If anything would this not protect property owners by preventing civil rights groups from suing when someone says, "I really do not want twenty illegals living in my apartment meant for two to four people?"

Don't know what the point of this is its literally delaying the inevitable vote.

On the outside, people are still trying to organize to get people to call their reps to stop this. There are lists of "vulnerable" R reps being circulated, for example, and they think if they call and fax and bug those reps enough they can get them to vote no. He's buying those people more time, not that it's likely to work.

The debt dosent matter in theory yes, the INTEREST ON THE DEBT, thats another matter entirely. If you all will suffer an autist and his craft for a moment ive kinda been obsessing over this issue cause its so deceptively complicated

Ok ok so what are the basics?

Main character alert!

So this guy is divisive some say it dosent matter some say its the end of the world and everything in between, we arent here to discuss that, for our purposes all you need to really know or care about in relation to that number is these 2 numbers

Bop!

Bing!


Alright so if you passed basic math your already up to speed that the big boys going to keep going up, so whats the problem right? Cut some spending and get the deficit to 0 and start paying down the debt right?

Alright ill admit I buried the lead, here is the REAL main character, our debt COUNTING our financial institutions and not just the federal government



So that takes us to the issue we are in now where we are spending

EVERY YEAR just so we can keep borrowing money and paying the old people we already borrowed money from, if we cancel they debt of do anything fun like that not only would millions of Americans and people around there world lose their life savings as most mutual funds, retirement funds and the entire social security fund is back up by Tbills but beyond that the united states government would become defunct as they would no longer be able to borrow money as no one would believe they would pay it back if they are willing to "rug pull" their own citizens

The best metaphor I can come up with for this fucked situation is that there is a hole in the boat but instead of fix it the captain has ordered more boat to be built (on credit somehow) by the passengers, not to save the boat or anyone but just cause the captain knows he is about to die and he wants to die on a stable ship then spend his last moments sweating and working hard to save a boat for a bunch of young poor people

Yeah that makes more sense. Better then nothing I guess. Still doesn't take away this is a retarted stalling tactic. Reminds me of the movie Mr. Smith goes to Washington a bit but alot more faggy.

That's cool, I like your posts and was hoping you would respond. You are like the non-COVID version of @RodgerDodger.

Johnson isn't even stopping him. Hakeem gave him a perfect excuse to take another graceful defeat and kill Trump's agenda.

"Thanks for saving our bacon from the bosh and footing the bill to boot, here is half a farthing for your trouble old boy"

To have an excuse to shit on the French, we at least paid some of it back and the post-war loan (albeit with no inflation applied) was also eventually paid back. The French didn't do anything, and I'm pretty sure they don't even acknowledge America all that often because it detracts from the "resistance" or something like that. British education regarding WW2 is very flattering regarding the Americans. I think modern resentments are purely rooted in the universities and commierot-spreaders like Hasan Piker.

HIS majesty's government

You know how Trump can do executive orders? Or veto?
That officially makes him more powerful than any British monarch after 1690.
This contributes to something you raised here:

I encourage you to read more about it because I had to do a paper on it back in the day for a polysci class, the quick and dirty verison is that your nation is so fuck off old with so many traditions that it was and is just engrained in you all to adhere to certian parts of that tradition unflichingly.

A lot of how the country operates is rooted in implicit directives and implied deterrence. Sure, there's nothing that explicitly states the king can't do something, but I think everybody knows that if the monarch tried to something without already being given the go ahead by government, they'd depose the monarchy. For instance, whilst the monarch has a veto, no monarch has exercised its authority without being told to by the prime minister first. Our system is ass-backwards and fucked up but I think that's optimal if you want to make the government as ineffective as possible to carrying out acts of retardation and/or evil. I'm not sure if I'd even want to fix it just in case a competent yet evil body takes control of it. It's like we accidentally stumbled into a system that slows shit like that down whereas America more or less put something decent in place from the outside, like how it's rather difficult to alter the constitution due to how many votes that have to pass. In a UK-tier system, the 2nd amendment could be taken out of the constitution with a single vote from the house of representatives, for example.

I was driving last night coming back from a wedding and had to fill up, this crazy woman walked up to me in the pump and started harassing me. I told her to leave me alone and she started having an attitude. She's clearly unwell (who wears pajamas in the middle of the night?) and her dog was looking at me apologetically like it knew how off kilter its owner was.

My wife took a picture of her, thankfully she did not seem to notice.

The reason those jobs were filled by illegals in the first place isn't because Americans are lazy and don't like working crummy jobs, it's because it was in poor conditions and for illegally low wages. Once they actually make the jobs workable for people with.. y'know... rights, Americans will fill those positions.

We should also remember that automation could very easily get rid of those fruit picking jobs; as for shit like construction or roofing, regular Americans already do those jobs it's just that construction companies love to cut corners so they get illegal immigrants to do the work because they put up with worse shit.

[Sneed Lurker]

He apparently switched it back to a Nay.

And what does he have to lose? Trump is already trying to primary him. Gee, maybe Trump should have primaries some neocon scumbags instead?

Massie is worse than the Neocons imo. He's a faggot who's willing to throw everything away to the shitlibs to stick with his "values and morals". Voting no on everything doesn't accomplish anything and just wastes a spot in congress. Massie is spiritually AOC.

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

He has the chance now to reach across the aisle and say he likes how Trump has handled keeping men out of women’s sports

I actually do approve of that. Transwomen should not be in the same sports as real women. That being said, a law about it seems kind of stupid since it's just sports, but I am fine with banning it

Are you also against transing kids?

I am fine with them going to therapy or whatever, but they shouldn't get irreversible surgery.

Now your turn to tell me something you don't like that Dear Leader is doing (like tax cuts for billionaires would work)

WTF is even happening in the Senate? How many Senators besides Thune are nuking their careers just to protect the parliamentarian?
Tin-foil: I recall Brendan Herrera of all people mentioning politicians being pissy at the 2A crowd shortly after they didn't settle for the original $0 tax proposal.
How much of this is being done out of spite for their voter bases wanting actual action instead of hollow promises? Either way, at least it can be sued out of existence now (unless the courts argue some BS like the $0 tax is still a tax just one that costs nothing). I really hope Trump declares Total Rhino Death for the Senate, and Elon actually goes through primarying as many people as possible since their replacements will be extremists.

Ironic that she's posing with an AA-12 that nobody besides politicians and the rich can own, while letting the Short act and Hearing Safety act fail.
