Government Shutdown 2025: This Time Itās Personal
Trump shut the government down in 2018-2019 just because and he definitively lost. Like I think the flight attendants threatened to strike and ground the airlines and he finally capitulated. Depending on how you work the math of the 2012-13 financial crisis, the GOP brought the country to the brink and ended up getting a better deal than if the Bush tax cuts had just expired, mostly because Obama kinda lost his nerve and did the āDemocrats will always do the right thingā bit. Although the GOP was pissed at the time, they actually āwonā in a policy sense.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time Itās Personal
Also, my math is off. Assuming Fetterman is a yes, Schumer needs 5+ himself, 6 if heās going to vote no in and effort to save his hide against AOC In 2028. I just donāt see the point in shutting the government down for a week to then capitulate and have Trump drag his tiny nuts across the partyās forehead. If you are in it, be in it. Make your stand and put it all on the line.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time Itās Personal
Thereās a couple of things at play: 10 democrats need to vote with Republicans to pass the continuing resolution. Fetterman is probably a yes, so the number is 9. If Schumer asks for 8 plus himself, heāll get it. The Democrats greatest leverage also comes with real risk. Shut the government down, and leave it closed. Like for months. Or after the 2026 elections. Let Voight Fire everyone. Then dig in and wait for the repercussions. And I mean all the way. Be the Russians before the Grand Army and burn it all because you know your cause is right and give the GOP nothing. But it requires stones I donāt think the Democrats have. And it risks the end of the filibuster and hard, rather than soft Autocracy.

The Supremes
The way my leg counsel explained it: This Supreme Court: Congress needs to give clear, unambiguous guidance or itās not real. Congress: Independent Commissions are independent and the president can only fire their members for clear literal malfeasance. This Supreme Court: Well, thatās just like your opinion, man.

Do you FIRE? Financial Independence, Retire Early
We live in a high end condo community and love it. Just clean out the fridge and roll. You want to do due diligence on making sure the building is maintaining its reserve fund and putting in the necessary maintenance so you donāt catch a massive assessment. Ever since that condo came crashing down in Florida, older buildings are finding their insurance has sck rocketed. The days of bottom barrel building fees are pretty much over.

I was annoyed Lanning was conservative today against Northwestern, but compared to this, the Ducks were 2001 Miami.

You will get your first taste of where this is going this November in Virginia. A big win by the GOP, especially by Sears indicates a conservative realignment is really happening. OTOH, if the GOP loses a bunch of +10-12 seats, it could be an early sign Trumpās schtick is starting to wear thin.

Look at the big brain on Brad!- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
It's what drives me batshit about the Democratic party and their consultants: They are STILL trying to reconcile some vision of Choamsky Leftist and Clintonian New Democrats into a coherent party platform. THOSE PEOPLE DON'T EXIST YOU IDIOTS.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Its like I said the other day: Once Trump is off the political scene, these mush brains could easily swing to aggressive socialism/borderline Marxism. If the GOP thinks this group has anything in common with them other than the Racism, they are going to be in for a rough ride.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
There's a million inflection points, but for me, it was in 2016, when people decided they'd rather elect Donald Trump, who was manifestly wrong to be president by any objective measure, over the clearly competent and capable Hilary Clinton, because she was annoying. Including a lot of people on this board who later regretted that decision. Everything after that is spin, reaction, and rationalization.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
I can't believe I have to live in the timeline where a munckin like Kash Patel is babbling about relieving Charlie Kirk's watch and Valhalla. And I'm a manlet. Everything is horribly cringe now.- Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
He reminds me of my ex father in law. The moment you stopped talking about him or what he was interested in that moment, he would literally lose eye focus and just stop interacting mid sentence. LIke he would just stare off into space until the conversation interested him again. Shocker, his daughter was a hot mess.- Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
Jfc, I donāt own a gun. Will one of you idiots shove a deer rifle down your pants and film yourself walking around your garage in whatever exurbs you live in and post it here so we can decide this? Wait. Itās gonna be @Brisketexan isnāt it? never mind. I prefer the mystery.- Remembering 9/11
I was on Capitol Hill. It was a wild fucking day. I hate the sound of low flying jets to this date. They were buzzing the Capitol until Flight 93 was confirmed down.- Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
This is an actual CSB. I appreciate the telling and Iām glad you're son is ok - Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
