This video of Trump waiting for his chips and salsa is how I and many of you would probably wait, silently annoyed, making Trump like expressions (the last 10-15 seconds cracked me up, you could see Trump acting like that)


I ate a Mexican restaurant (not Taco Bell for a change) last week with 55wildcat...he verbally and very loudly let them know his annoyance when he didn't get his chips and salsa right away.

Government shutdown avoided which seems to be a bad thing since the are going to try to pin a shutdown on a Trump regime. Johnson is done IMO.

 

[sambowieshin]

So clearly the debt ceiling was raised under the bammer and under Biden also.
You do know the inflation explosion act is still in effect. Thus the debt will increase until further notice. This is just a formality.
I was responding primarily to the billionaire bullshit you were spouting.
That detail is moronic. (See particulars provided)

Facts are a tough thing for Cult 45/47ers. Biden produced half the debt Trump did.

U.S. Debt by President: Dollar and Percentage

Do you know what DOGE is for?

Too bad Trump didn't care about the debt last time and is already wanting to raise the debt ceiling for this next 4 years. He's a con man.

Almost sixty years ago, I spent 18 months in Muslim Turkey. Basically they liked whoever they made money off of. A friend of mine was seriously stabbed for simply talking to a Turkish girl ( in a nicer/American ish part of town). The Officers Club was bombed and because a friend of mine did something stupid, we had to run for our lives from a mob. I was in good shape and ran fast enough to catch a bus and got the Turkish bus driver to wait on my slower buddy who was just a little ahead of the mob.

I Was surrounded by 3 Turkish men in Frankfurt Germany late one night January 1978, and one had a straight razor and was smiling. I had stepped out of a bar I had been in because I had a little too much to drink and needed some air. I was standing against a wall outside the bar when they surrounded me. One with the straight razor in front and the other two on the sides. Now, we had already had some soldiers attacked in the past and some cut up. I knew I was in deep trouble and my mind was racing as I was looking for a way out. I was thinking about trying to just bull rush pass the one on my left and try to get back in the bar where I had buddies still drinking. Before I did, two men and two women came around the corner from my right headed towards the bar. As they approached, the guy with the razor folded it and hid it so, I decided to try and walk out with those people, and it worked. I got back in the bar and told my friends (other soldiers) and we all went out looking for these Turkish thugs. We saw them running way up the street and decided just to go back in the bar.

Never sobered up so fast in my life as I did that night.

This bitch reminds me of somebody & I’ve driven myself crazy for the last week trying to figure out who it is. And, I think I’ve settled on the timeless, ancillary character of Mork & Mindy fame, Exidor. Put a cpl purple streaks in his hair &, voila, he’s a weirdo, lesbian, septuagenarian pos.

I loved Exidor........... her, hell no!!!!!!!

 

[ukalum1988]

Local news reported this terrorist act, but no mention of the group that was responsible. Who is responsible for this reporting decision? Local or national decision?

I spent time in Izmir (large city) and time up in the mountains. They were growing opium right next to the base and smoking opium on the streets in some areas of the city. Most Turks were a little smaller than us, but I saw one guy who was the biggest guy I have ever seen. His hands were so big it looked like he could grab your head and squash it like a tomato.

Read again.... Read slow.... Or get someone to read it to you.
That's the same thing I always told my special ed kids.
"If there is a government shutdown after tonight the U.S. military’s military operations overseas and domestically will continue, but U.S. military service members won’t be paid during that time."
" Nearly 13,000 air traffic controllers would be expected to work without pay, and hiring and training new air traffic controllers would cease during a shutdown"
" It's worth noting that air traffic controllers played a part in ending the government shutdown in 2019, when several workers called in sick on the same day, snarling air traffic."
" An estimated 60,971 employees with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and 17,575 employees with Immigration and Customs Enforcement would be asked to work without pay during a shutdown"

What are the possible impacts of a government shutdown?

Based on past government estimates, some 3.5 million federal workers could go without paychecks this holiday season until an agreement is passed.

abcnews.go.com

Just so we’re clear. 10 air traffic controllers total called in sick. That it affected air travel points to the problems allowing the federal govt to run anything leads to. And these are people who will get back pay.

@sambowieshin if you're worried about the CR bill, why hasn't the actual president said anything? Where is he?

Like not staff generated press releases, why isn't he coming out to comment on it...its part of his job

The kid quickly jumps out of his lap and runs away, just f-cking gross to pat in front of your crotch like that for a random kid to hop up there.

This one isn't gross, it's really weird. Jimmy Kimmel sends Tim Walz a heroic action figure of Tim called 'Tiny Tim'. These people are weird.

The kid probably ran away bc Biden smells like death. He probably smells worse than the kids dirty diaper.

Kimmel, Walz...betas lmao.

Can you imagine being a man and supporting this woman?

I'll tell you something that's really missing. There are no crash test dummies of men that get pregnant.

You know, if her premise was that women have different body proportions (titties), and therefore we need to test male AND female bodies, I'd actually be ok with this. Might not be the best money spent, but it sort of has merit.

But no, you know this is just some gender equality thing, where she just wants whatever men have, which in thise case is being thrown through a windshield at 90mph in the name of "equality!"

So a Saudi Arabian doctor who lived in Germany for 18 years is the Muslim terrorist du jour?

So much for the fiction of “moderate Islam”. Or the fiction of assimilation.

The religion of peace murdering us during our holy season again, it seems.

Oh, I know. “We don’t know who did. What’s the motive?”

Never in history has a civilization murdered itself by importing en masse millions of its enemies.

Oh it wasn’t done organically. A very specific group was intentional about this agenda. Connect some dots and you’ll see a loooooong history of sabotage.

I'm sure they already do what she's suggesting.

Vivek on the bill: "But also laid bare the massive lift ahead next year"





Ultimately, we weren't going to go from decades of a shitty Washington to a good one very quickly. I don't think Vivek and Elon (DOGE) had any illusions about that. I suspect the bill in it's current form is ever so slightly better than the original one, and that was done without Trump being in power.

Trump takes the reins of power in a month....and then...and not until then were we ever going to be able to find out if any sort of true fiscal sanity can happen in Washington. It seems to me the Republicans in Congress are broken up into 3 factions, and it is always nearly impossible to get them truly united when it matters. I'm afraid ultimately any truly big things Trump can get done will have to be done by sidestepping Congress,

The good news is Congress has being giving away a lot of it's power to a massive unelected bureaucracy for decades. Go to work stripping that unelected bureaucracy of the power they aren't suppose to have which I think is a big plan of Vivek's and Elon's.

And yet Vivek and Elon are unelected and have no authority whatsoever (unlike the bureaucracy).

They aren't even in a real position yet, as 20 Jan still isn't here. Given that, they have done WONDERS.

They have no "authority" and Trump isn't even in office yet. Still they have had a bigger impact on a legislative effort, in a short time, than any i can recall. Because they utilized the real "power to the people..."
