Rammed through is the Patriot Act in 2001, six weeks from proposed to the President signing it. Rammed through is Trump's Big Ugly Bill. You don't ram through something that is debated on for a year.

Rammed through is the Patriot Act in 2001, six weeks from proposed to the President signing it. Rammed through is Trump's Big Ugly Bill. You don't ram through something that is debated on for a year.
to get here. Then add in Obama winning the Presidency in 2008 then was reelected in 2012. I was hearing slave owner talk from Senators the former CSA. Saying they wanted to 'break' Obama over the health care debate. Which lasted over a year, but was rammed through.
Conservatives in the US have been doing this slow coup since Reagan uttered on 20 January 1981 that the government is the problem, not the solution. Since then, conservatives have been doing their best to make the government ineffective. They've done a wonderful job of it. Took them 40+ years...
GOP are in too deep for things to go back to normal. Or what seemed normal. Either you're too young or didn't pay attention. The overt racism started again when Obama was President. Him winning in 2008 is why Trump is in office now destroying everything Obama did.
I love watching pro cycling three grand tours, but man, getting up earlier than normal on rest days sucks though. Nothing to watch. Where's my racing? Even the Tour of Britain doesn't start until tomorrow.
This is one of the dumbest fucking hills to die on for the GOP of FL.
I have tots and pears, is that good enough? Anyone hungry? I'll make more tots.
As a Packers shareholder, I'm not sold on the Parsons trade. I've said this already. But hot damn, I am enjoying watching Cowboys fans lose their shit over this trade.
That's why I don't want to hear a peep about shit from her or any other GOP fuckwad who voted YEA to confirm someone who has no business being head of the HHS.
Curly and Vince both have statues outside the stadium. I think that's bigger than the number 1 being worn by Parsons. We could be hearing stories about how much Reed got paid by Parsons for 11. We're not. He was okay with changing numbers.
Maybe she shouldn't have voted to confirm RFK, Jr then. www.senate.gov/legislative/...
5(Paul Hornung) isn't retired either.
The waste of my tax dollars fighting against painted sidewalks.
While I'm not sold on the Micah Parson trade the Packers did with Dallas two days ago. What I have been enjoying it watching the talking heads and podcasters reaction to it. Jerrah broke Scooter Magruder. I felt the "I hate you Jerry Jones. I hate you. I'm done." #GPG youtu.be/SE8ULHwfDiI?...
Not on this, nope. Junior is sullying his family's name. I'm glad his mother died before the election so she didn't see this shit.
No.
Does Jerrah understand that means the player's agent too?
RFK died in 1968.
The one thing I hate about sport media now days. Now inaccurate it is. Packers traded Kenny Clark to Dallas, not someone named Kenny Smith. Fucking Yahoo Sports
Saying beyond the 2nd is assuming they care about the 1st and they don't. Only part of the 1st they care about is after the or "prohibiting the free exercise thereof" That's the only part of the 1st they care about.
I decided to go find one with the ones on the roof. More than a dozen on it.
If I'm a one-issue voter, that's the issue. I know who was in the US Senate at that time and I know it passed the US Senate 98-1. The non-voting Senator was Mary Landrieu(D-LA) and the no vote was Russ Feingold(D-WI) and I cried when he lost to Ron Johnson in 2010. Even though I don't live in WI
And yet I was supposed to vote for people like Hillary and Biden for President knowing they're willing to strip Americans of their rights with a stroke of a pen. One major reason why I vote against the duopoly parties.
Maria Cantwell(D-WA) Patty Murphy(D-WA)
Sad is 24 years later there are still 10 Senators left in the US Senate. 4-GOP 6-Dem, including both from Washington. List is as follows: Mike Carpo(R-ID) Dick Durbin(D-IL) Chuck Grassley(R-IA) Mitch McConnell(R-KY) Susan Collins(R-ME) Chuck Schumer(D-NY) Ron Wyden(D-OR) Jack Reed(D-RI)
Funny thing, I heard people saying that after the Patriot Act and 9/11. The country is worse off today than we were then. Too many white conservative Americans are willing to give up their rights to fuck over minorities.
like this and we're worse now than we were 20 years ago. Something to ponder.
Not those who stole food and basic shit for their family's needs. One family was on the roof of their home when it floated away. The mandatory evacuation was called too late, no one cared about the poor, elderly, or infirmed. They were just left on their own. A civilized country doesn't act
fact the Gov of LA was willing to shoot her own people because they were needing basic shit and was taking it. after days of nothing, people need to survive and what went on in NO days after Katrina hit was survival mode for many. The looters were the fucks taking TVs and that type of stuff.
more local stuff than I got in Florida is really pissing me off more. Bush and his admin fucked up in a major way and I know if another storm hits the US and does a shit-tonne of damage Katrina did, Trump's team would be worse than W's. W's was bad. Lets pray for the storm to not be bad to the...
I've been slowly watching the Netflix docu-series about Hurricane Katrina. The reaction to what went on in New Orleans pissed me off 20 years ago. I have to keep pausing it, in episode 2 of 3, because I get so pissed off I need to stop watching for a bit. I remember a lot of this, but showing...
Most shootings, especially here lately, have been done by right-wing. Which is a lot more violent the Dems have ever been this century. Nice deflection there.
That picture crops out the ones on the roof of the home. No way in hell are all those weapons safely kept.
All I have now days it tots and pears
The US started falling behind the rest of the world in the 1860s.
Being this happened in Texas and football is king in Texas. He'll get a slap on the wrist because he's in the NFL.
He can appeal.
RFK died in 1968.
They both work and I do live in this fucking hellhole of stupid. Lucky I found a group of people to hang with who are anything but...
Since when is 8.8 half of 16.5? 8.8 is half of 17.6.
When shipping him to South America doesn't work, just send him to Africa.
I keep looking over week 1 games trying to not only make my weekly picks, but also...urgh...make a survival pick. The thing with survival pick'em is, you can only use that team once. The few games I see who should win, I don't want to use week 1, but little later in the season.
Conservatives would rather just lock them away, out of sight, out of mind. Never mind what it does to county jails.
That is what we were told, there was even a breakfast meal named after him.
As someone who worked for them for 10 years between 1998-2009, that is the founder's uncle. His name was Herschel. I get removing him and the barrel. I don't get changing the logo itself. The new one is boring and ugly as sin.
I get removing Uncle Herschel, yes, that the name of the guy sitting next to the barrel, it was the founder's uncle. The new logo is not only boring as hell, it's ugly as sin. I know this because I worked for them for 10 years between 1998-2009. I left before the founder died in 2012.
The new logo is ugly as hell and boring. The company has done a lot of questionable things since the founder of the company died. First they started serving alcohol now they're removing Uncle Herschel, who was the founder's uncle, for a boring ass logo.
I'm more pissed off and infuriated with Congress and the GOP which has washed their hands of actually upholding the oath they all took back in January than I am over what Trump's doing. Between Congress and the Supreme Court, the US is never going to fulfill the promises of the Constitution.
Same could be said about Jenkins in 1.
I hate MLB's Injury List. They have 10 day, 15 day, 30 day, 60 day IL One of my relivers is on 15 day IL. Now I'm reading he could be out for three more weeks. That will end up being about a 30 days IL trip they want to call 15 days.
Well, some do when they first start as a teen. I've seen some pictures of rough looking starts to some people's career in drag.
funny comic crying about today's young adults don't find him funny. I've never found Seinfeld funny, even his show sucked.
Like conservative comedians have been whining about because today's young adults don't find people in their 50s/60s/70s to be funny. Because most of those guys aren't funny and haven't been funny in decades. If they were actually funny to start with. Jerry Seinfeld is another old ass shitty non-
bitch once he hit his mid-50s. Which is when I stopped watching/paying any attention to him. That was 15 years ago. He turns 70 next year. He's the classic, semi-liberal more libertarian views as a young man to go more conservative as they age. He's been whining about younger age groups ...
He has changed though I used to be a huge fan, Now I can't stand the guy I've seen him twice live. 2nd time was a clusterfuck mess of bad sound to go w/being trolled His routine was always revolved politics & at one point, he was actually funny. He stopped being funny and turned into a whiny...
I've not watched his show in 15 years. Molly being on it won't get my view. People like Bernie Sanders being on it won't get my view either.
Remember, Maher was fired from his show in ABC because of what he said about 9/11. That's when he took the show to HBO.
Even with you on it, I won't give Maher my view. He's not worth it. There is no good messages coming from that show and there hasn't been good messages, just whining about shit for over 15 years. Deep down, I'm surprised it hasn't been canceled.
Bill Maher actually became very irrelevant when he was in his 50s when he stopped being funny and started giving bad actors(politically) a platform on his show. I quit watching it back in 2010 when I dumped my cable TV. I have HBO/MAX streaming service, but still won't watch his show.
He really stopped being funny after he reached his 50s, he'll be 70 next year. I've not paid a lick of attention to his show in 15 years. It stopped being funny a long time ago.
Maher was never a liberal/progressive. He's always been a libertarian in his views. Some of those anti-government views can seem liberal in nature. He is a huge pothead. Making that legal was a major thing for him. Which gave off liberal vibes, he's always had more libertarian views.
How about 2026 instead? He's a member of the House, their terms are two years.
I loved how the woman coach for men/women fencing kept her people away from Dr. Strauss. I've never been a fan of OSU, but man, that documentary made me really hate the school. They want to be free of responsibility. At least Penn St & Michigan St took responsibility for Sandusky & Nasser.
As a teen, I was working at that time. WTF?
I grow really tired of going to Twitch and seeing DJs on their front page. I'm also tired of seeing Just Chatting on the front page. Why are they promoting this type of content? The DJs act like they're at a rave.
Over 60% of the nation's GDP comes from blue states/counties. That leaves under 40% for conservative areas. Destroying blue cities. blue states will crater the GDP. CA's GDP is greater than France's. But if you listen to a Con, it's a shit hole state.
She does have the qualifications for the job.
She has the qualifications to be AG being she used to be one at the state level. No one else in the administration has even that, most don't even work in the field they were posted to. RFK, Jr comes to mind for SecHHS Having qualifications does not equal being good at the job. Which she is not.
I think being an AG of a state for eight years is the qualification. Being Florida voted for her sorry ass twice. According to cons, Harris being AG of CA wasn't good enough for her to be VP or even President. You Dem voters are doing the same thing now. It's not a good look.
She married/divorced the same loser twice.
Fuck that thrice divorced bitch.
That is incorrect. One person had experience at their job at the state level. That one person is Pam Bondi. Granted, she was a shitty AG, same with Ashley Moody who is now my US Senator. But she was AG of Florida. She is the only one with any experience at being Attorney General.
White woman has no business curating anything when it comes to African American history.
The only unprecedented thing Trump's team has done is detain elected officials for asking questions. Everything else has some precedent some where. They've been digging through old laws from the late 1700s to early 1800s to use.
I'm not sure the country actually devolved into this. This has been lurking under the surface for decades. People were never paying attention. Reagan said on 20 Jan 1981 that the government was the problem not the solution. Since the GOP has made it a problem.
That woman shouldn't be anywhere near children
I've looked up the first five so far, all Dems with only one white male. Three are black men with one black woman.
The VP basically has one job. That is to break ties in the US Senate. Other than that, it's a do nothing job.
VP really has nothing to do but sit around waiting to break ties in the US Senate.
Or Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. I've pointed out the excessive amount of EOs by Trump back in March to my Rep and got back a fuck all of how the President is setting policy and America First bullshit. My Rep is my former Sheriff. I'm livid this asshat backs a fucking 34x felon from NY.
I don't think many Americans fully understand the US is immune to anything. They set up the international courts/UN/NATO to be above it all.
Which corporate Dems won't get behind.
Two and four are also incompatible.
GOP of Florida knew Rick Scott committed one of the biggest Medicare fraud cases and they still voted for him to be Governor, twice. US Senator, twice. Republicans have been working since 20 January 1981 to make the government ineffective.
Should have been watching Deadwood. Mr Wu's pigs were well fed.
I'd love for him to explain how AI solves hunger? AI isn't growing food.
She was actually lucky there was no ITT being she's not good on that. That is her weakness on the bike.
They can and will. No one is stopping them. GOP hasn't actually governed for the good of the entire country in my lifetime. I'll be 60 in 2 years. Last half-way honorable GOP President was Ike and he was President during coups in Iran and Operation Wetback.
Cross the border isn't a criminal offense, it's a civil one. They don't get locked up, they get sent back to where they came from. Trump and the GOP have been violating the Constitution without any pushback from the moment he retook his oath, which he violates daily.
Lack of laws/regulation = free for all. In other words anarchy.
Conservatives are hell bent on punishing the country for Obama's two terms. Black men have no business running the country, neither do women(white or POC). If the US is the true leader of the "free world" why hasn't it had a women as head of state? Muslim countries have had women as PM.
He's lucky he lives in Missouri. The show me state. Show me how to do everything because they're plain fucking stupid there and I have family living there. Not the brightest of the bunch.
Biden didn't even mention fixing the Rose Garden.
There was a time, I used to at minimum respect this man. That was decades ago and last century.
Iowans, do better than Grassley and Ernst.
I started school in the early to mid 1970s. For me, it was Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, the Electric Company, and School House Rock.
Those awesome Christian values.
