  1. Definitely not on a work computer. Maybe also have Safe Search on if you are in public. Or don't, if you are a freak.
  2. This is the best reason for getting ride of it. It removes the "But, But... the other guys" arrow from your local lump of shit congress critter's quiver. It's a lot easier to say "Bullshit, we control the Senate, GTFO here with your "if only they didn't stop us" titty baby rhetoric."
  3. The talking filibuster is in some ways worse. It doesn't end the filibuster, it just means the senate literally can not do anything at all. RN, the minority objects to moving the previous question, and everyone agrees to set the issue aside and do something else. With a talking filibuster, you literally can not move on. It's not Jimmie Stewart talking for 30 hours, its that the senate stays stuck on one piece of business and until everyone agrees, no other issue can be brought up. Think about a committee meeting where you can't move on to the first order of business until you've approved the minutes. It's like that.
  4. My problem with the filibuster is it's all upside for the Republicans, all downside for the Democrats. 1. It functionally protects the American electorate from their terrible decision making. Elect a bunch of neo-fascists? Don't worry, the democrats will keep them from re-establishing segregation. Fuck that. Elections should have consequences in this country. And don't whinge to me about protecting the vulnerable. The Supreme Court has been hammering them with a lexington steele dildo for years. 2. The main exception to it allows for the cutting of taxes. Which benefits the Republicans. Think about it. Whenever they grabe the President, House, Senate trifecta, we all get a giant tax cut. Sure, I guess Biden passed an infrastructure bill, but it took so long, was so incompetent in it's PR, that his administration failed to implement the fucking thing and the progressive priorities in it have been repealed or suspended. But elect Republicans to Congress, and you will always get your taxes cut. Nothing in our government works because we are drifting in the fumes of the Great Society. Imagine if Congress could actually fucking fix shit instead of just cut taxes and nothing else? Might change the perception of Democrats as pathetic limp dicks? 3. It's and accident of history. Aaron Burr didn't understand Robert's Rules and eliminated the motion to move the previous question. The VP who eventually attempted to start another fucking country and killed Alexander Hamilton. Everything about that piece of shit anachronism is bad.
  5. No. It's a pinky promise to hold a vote. Without a commitment from Thune to guarantee it's part in a future mini or omnibus and to try and jam the House in a must pass bill, it's meaningless.
  6. As an aside, it's why I prefer calling the democrats pathetic ineffectual limp dicks who definitely do not fuck. Vaginas are actually strong AF. Even by aggressive internalize mysogyny standards, equating vaginas with the weak sauce that is the Democratic party is a low blow.
  7. If the house changes anything it goes back to the Senate for a revote. The Senate is, in beltway parlance, "jamming" the house, in that Thune will say if you change this deal, it won't pass the Senate, the shutdown will continue, so take it or leave it.
  8. Like a broken clock you are occasionally correct. The failure to deschedule was one of 1000 things the Biden administration fucked up through shear bureaucratic incompetence.
  9. The democrats were playing Holdem, pulled two kings. Then a third on the flop and a fourth on the River. There’s no chance of a flush. The GOP pushed all in after the election, and despite the fact the Dems knew they had the nuts, they folded.
  10. Bunch of ineffectual limp dicks. The democrats couldn’t get laid in a whore house on pay day.
  11. Kinda feels like the party might be over. It’s been a hell of a run, but at some point economic fundamentals have to come into play.
  12. That's immediately where my mind went as well. Gotdamn I love cabrito. As anyone who has played high school baseball will tell you, the relationship between arm strength and IQ tends to be inverse.
  13. Kinda. But the reason you get back with your crazy ex is because the sex is fucking insane (ask NMAS). I mean, with Trump, other than the first term stock market, its all Friday night missionary.
  14. Hit that copium, Little Mike.
  15. https://nypost.com/2025/11/05/us-news/brawl-breaks-out-at-texas-bass-pro-shop-grand-opening-over-bathroom-dispute/ Don't be shy now. Own that shit.
  16. That is uncut pure copium.
  17. It’s going to be interesting to see what new ways Susie Wiles comes up with to keep that batshit throat goat out of the side room to the Oval Office.
  18. One of the weirder Trump moments was after Parasite won Best Picture and he was bitching about it and lamented about what happened to all the great movies like Gone With the Wind and Sunset Boulevard. I get his reference to Gone, there is zero chance he’s seen Sunset. 1. It’s too slow of a burn for his dipshit addled brain, but 2. The man is a walking Norma Desmond.
  19. I’m an Art Nouveau man myself, but either way that fat fuck wouldn’t know style if it bit him in his huge ass. Also, that bathroom prolly had an industrial toilet so LBJ could drop giant turds while passing the Great Society.
  20. There’s a funny story about Clinton playing one of his first post presidency rounds and suddenly his friends shaved 10 strokes off their game and werent missing putts anymore.
  21. The consensus seems to be he’s long off the tee, but has no other game, plays absurdly fast, and cheats at a level that is farcical.
  22. I like Paint It, Black and Fortunate Son as much as the next guy, but I'd prefer not to have another failed US war to get their successors.
