Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
“The narrative” that will change literally zero votes. Yes. Democrats are pussies. Not news. But they’ve wrung about all the political value out of this shutdown they can. Republicans lost the shutdown because it made them less popular. Democrats were already at their floor. Maybe the real shutdown was the friends we made along the way. Dude. Opposition parties can’t usually get anything. But they can throw sand in the gears and they did. They left a little on the table this time but basically accomplished what they could here. If I was Schumer I would have held them together until the week of thanksgiving but all in all this wasn’t badly played.

No. This is the way people keep voting, despite everything. There are basically three ways that people make and find meaning: to improve people’s lives, to right a wrong, or to prevent the end of something good. None of those things involve actually buying into the idea that some jive ass 115er student government type is going to do what you wish they would. Saving the Republic and punishing the GOP is my why. What’s yours? No, this pack of sad bitches on here are just really easily demoralized.

I’m not trying to make anything better. Our system works a lot better if voters are guided by voting against elected officials who don’t *earn* their personal vote. Stop looking for things to vote for and be proud to vote against. And in the unlikely event you have the opportunity to vote *for* someone (which has only been the case twice in my entire life), realize that’s a rare and wonderful thing, like a double rainbow or a threesome you don’t wind up regretting.

You don’t. You have to vote against the Republicans. Once you get over that, things make a lot more sense.

I think the Senate Ds have played this situation about as strategically as it can be played, but Schumer needs to be bounced for a very simple reason: he’s not a good leader, and his caucus can’t trust him. Klobuchar, Warner and Tammy Baldwin would all be better choices at this moment.

He should, but not because of this.

Nah. Democrats will be unhappy but normies have already made their minds up and the damage is done politically from the shutdown. It would have been great to get the subsidies restored but honestly them expiring hurts Republicans a lot worse politically than it hurts Democrats. We can always do this again in February.

People who were born or have lived in Austin the majority of your life..what is your opinion on the "Rogansphere" influx & comedy scene?
Tony Hinchcliffe, basically. These guys are so safe they make Joey Bishop look like Lenny Bruce.

Fair enough. I still can’t imagine how this person would think their point of view has more impact as a private citizen than as a senior federal judge.

He’s so mad at Donald Trump that he’s going to give Trump and FedSoc ANOTHER lifetime appointment so he can “speak out.” Only a lawyer with a titanic ego would overestimate the impact of their own opinion by that much. What a deluded person.

I have a very specific reason for needing to carry occasionally and I would rather do it with a revolver but my Governor is too big and showy. @Armybrat what’s your favorite snubnose these days? I’m trying to make up my mind between a Ruger LCR in 327 Magnum, a 357 King Cobra 3” (not exactly snub), and a Taurus 605. Don’t limit yourself to the above. I’m only gonna get one snubnose, what would you pick and why?- People who were born or have lived in Austin the majority of your life..what is your opinion on the "Rogansphere" influx & comedy scene?
The influence is terrible. Comics and culture in Austin used to punch up- especially the libertarian types. Now they kiss up and kick down. Nowadays it’s the equivalent of comics like Jerry Lewis in the 1950’s doing ching chong Chinese laundry routines. Talented people playing it safe, hanging out with big shots and drawing no blood. Rogan did that.- 2025 Random Games thread
- The Democratic Party
Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the hero of Little Round Top, whose heroic leadership and gallantry secured the union flank at Gettysburg was a graduate and later president of Bowdoin.- The Democratic Party
Nobody takes brave stands in safe spaces like progressive maxis. Demanding Halloween justice at Bowdoin is almost as brave as the Free Palestine protesters who very briefly disrupted the weekly pétanque game at the Mueller Farmers Market last month to take a group photo on the terrain.- The Democratic Party
No need for the reassurance. Nobody would pretend to be a socialist nepobaby who was involved in student government at a small liberal arts college. I realize that he represents wonderful things to some people (like my kids) and terrible things to others (many of my colleagues). Those two groups are equally silly and unrealistic. The risk with Zohran Mamdani is that he won’t be competent bureaucrat, which is required to succeed in that job. Hopefully he will surround himself with career public sector technocrats and not staff senior jobs from the ranks of activism. - Trump’s America
