Do we have the names of the democrats that are holding up things?
I am a big believer in "Name and Shame" and would like to know exactly who is causing the government to not function properly.
I googled a little bit but it is a Monday morning and I am somewhat lazy.

The rumor mill I've been reading is that Schumer is trying to boost opinion of the Senate by making healthcare for illegals a hardline issue, so if they win safer seats in edge states have more to take into this spring's primary so some nutjob gay race communist doesn't get nominated instead and lose the state for the Dems. This is especially a concern in states like Illinois and Minnesota, where the incumbent Dem is retiring and it's a totally open election. They're already primed to potentially lose Michigan.

I don't think it's a coincidence he adopted this strategy right as someone like Mandami is about to win in the largest city in the country.

the thing that pissed me off is when i read about how the newer models of john deere farming equipment are so filled with electronics that you cannot even fix them on your own you have to take them to a licensed repair place and are just fucked till then. oh and if you try to fix it yourself you can get fined because its somehow illegal.

Modern green tractors will come with six to ten control units, each of which are a separate computer. Depending on the equipment, JD has an effective monopoly the worst being sprayers because the second most effective sprayers, Hagie, are also just fucking owned by John Deere.

The irony is: you have green equipment from thirty to fifty years ago that’s just as effective.

Losing proposition. The democratic party IS the party of gay race communism. The geriatric boomers that control the party still and have been in office for 40 years are simply holding back the tide even as the grim reaper comes from their wrinkly asses. They should have been more concerned about gay race communism 20 years ago, and done more to sabotage Obama when he ran against Hillary in the 2008 primaries.

Related political question: What is stopping the Trump administration from just using the nuclear option to break Schumer's filibuster?
I saw numerous posts on Xwitter about this last week.

The choice to use the nuclear option isn't Trump's to make-- that's in the hands of GOP politicians in Congress, who are very literally paid to offer only symbolic resistance to Globohomo, Inc. and keep Israel's cock firmly implanted in their mouths. There's no way they'd remove their eternal excuse.

Video of family stealing from a store as result of not getting their EBTs. I like that the baby is holding a banana.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that there's at least 3 people in this video old enough to get a job or that they recorded themselves stealing with their license plate showing.

Are payments actually stopped? Are those contingency funds actually going out? The news is so bad at doing anything but fearmongering I have no idea what the fuck is happening

The admin said they'll fund it with the contingency funds.

Nothing Ever Happens(Until said funding runs out in about 3 weeks)

It's more that the base has become so cloistered and disconnected post-Obama that they don't really understand they still need to make mouth noises against the gay race communism to get in office, where they can safely vote for it repeatedly.
You remember the 2019 primary debate where every, and I mean every, candidate raised their hands saying their healthcare plan would cover illegal workers? It's ironic that this is the issue motivating the shutdown, since I'd point to that as the first sign that Obama + the 2018 midterms had deluded most of them into thinking they were set to go mask off.

I saw this on xitter and it comes off as completely staged. Not that it makes it any better, that a mother put her kids faces online with the intention of generating clicks and outrage, and negligently caught their license plate in the video.

Seeing children being taught bad behavior does saddens me. Black people do not have to be niggers, but nigger behavior is taught to them before they even have a chance, so it seems genetic.

Monolithic voting behaviors mean they will never be courted as an actual constituents. The only difference is 60 years of monolithically voting Republican left black families poor, and 100 years of monolithically voting Democrat has left blacks destitute with no families, which is difficult to recover from.

I know there is the counter-globohomo faction among White people that's rapidly growing. Is there a corresponding one among Black people? I haven't seen any.

At the way things are going, in the next few years phones will narc on shoplifters and instead of being in legal trouble you just have a klarna loan taken out in your name. Don't plan on paying it? That's ok because they will set it up for auto pay on your behalf so they take a bit of all money you ever receive, until the loan is paid off, forever.
 
Took a quick stop at the nearby Walmart on my break. Full disclosure, my area has far more NASCAR-Americans than Basketball-Americans. Also I understand we're potentially in the early stages of this. But still.

Nothing happened.

They really really really really believed, as guaranteed by their behavioralist voodoo priests, that buying up all the 20th century propaganda rags for the coof charade would usher in global commutardism, and not fail them as '05 avian flu and '09/10 swine flu chardes failed at the same task. because of "critical jouranlism". They expected the WHO practically managing healthcare post 2020, and giving it to "illegals", which if it would have worked wouldnt be illegal anymore, but global citizens, was just an easy sell.

The left wing of the demorats hasn't gotten the memo yet and/or is fighting tooth and nail against Plan C; The Power Players dipping their toe into superficial lolbertarianism.

there is a very large amount of tiktok rage bait content makers who do shit like this on purpose to get views. its hard to tell who is being genuine or not because they are all genuinely the same amount of retarded as the people who record themselves doing crimes to get views.

never forget the ice cream licking trend or the guy who was going around spraying bug spray all over random fruits and veggies. things like that are why i make it a general rule of mine to take anything coming from tiktok or similar platforms with massive grains of salt.

the video of that family stealing for example makes zero sense if you think about it. there is no way that many people stealing would not draw he attention of loss prevention or even a random person. not to mention usually when you go around stealing things you dont take the time to set up a nice camera shot of everyone leaving the store with the stolen goods.

so in my opinion that videos just rage bait. the worst thing i would accuse them of is using their children as content online. people like that deserve the have their kids taken away.

its actually really fucking weird how little info im seeing from places like CNN. almost makes me wonder if everyone got told to keep coverage to a minimum because it was starting to make the dems look really bad for not coming to an agreement on even a temporary solution.

3 weeks worth of it is still several hundred dollars in most cases. If it's one person thats more than enough to outlast the shutdown/filibuster...Mostly...
