Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Brisketexan replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
An update just circulated by one of the Federal court districts in Texas: Federal Judiciary Limited Operations Beginning October 20 The federal judiciary nationally has exhausted all available non-appropriated and no-year funds and will move into a non-paid status effective Monday, October 20, because Congress has not passed a continuing resolution or appropriations bill to fund the Third Branch of government. We are required to abide by the terms of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341, et seq. We apologize for any inconvenience to you and to your clients. The district court will continue to hear and decide cases. The clerk’s office will accept and timely process all civil and criminal filings, continue regular administration of the jury and grand jury system (including payment of petit and grand jurors), and will collect and deposit fees and costs into the Treasury. The clerk’s office will also process registry fund transactions and restitution disbursements. Court reporters will continue to transcribe proceedings and produce transcripts. Court security services, including security screening at all courthouses, will continue as usual. Staff will generally not be available to respond to inquiries that are not related to case administration. Attorney admission work will continue, but certificates of good standing will not be issued. Oaths will be administered, but no new ceremonial events, tours, or training will be scheduled. The court’s website will not be updated unless necessitated by an emergency. The clerk’s office will not be able to issue Pay.gov refunds. IT staff will keep the judiciary’s systems functioning and perform work necessary to protect the systems against cyberattacks. IT staff will also provide courtroom assistance to ensure that all audio-visual equipment functions normally. Attorney wi-fi services in the courtrooms, which are funded with non-appropriated funds, will still be available. IT staff will not be able to troubleshoot or help with CM/ECF problems that are related to an external user’s IT system. CJA attorneys have not been paid or received expense reimbursements since July, but CJA vouchers have been audited and are in line for payment at the earliest opportunity. As of October 20, CJA attorneys should continue to submit vouchers for payment; however, the new vouchers cannot be reviewed or audited until the judiciary is funded. The vouchers will be maintained in order of receipt for immediate review and will be given priority once the judiciary receives funding. Contractors have been notified of our inability to pay. In the context of case administration, this could impact an interpreter’s willingness to work in federal court. We have one staff interpreter in the district, and we can also use telephonic interpreting services for some proceedings. With rare exception (for example, due to a life safety issue), we will not be able to obligate funds for repairs and alterations of our courtrooms or courthouses. Projects that were obligated in a previous fiscal year will proceed. Staff will not be paid for the duration of the shutdown and will, therefore, not be expected to respond to after-hours or weekend inquiries or requests. Any calls or messages received after 4:30 p.m. will have to wait until the following business day for a response. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we navigate this unfortunate situation. -
You think this. And you're kinda right. At least, as to how the families of the identified victims feel. But you have missed this truth: The rest of the team and the town are gonna blame the victim for "ruining Celina football," and "not keeping it in the family -- football is family!" That's how these things work.

Hey guys....remember back when we used to have those "you don't want to see what I wouldn't bang" conversations? Well, now you've seen it. She's fucking hideous in every possible way.
-
I mean.....have you met us? It's not an unreasonable conclusion.

Go ahead and engrave this post in stone, because that's absolutely going to be the majority take in Celina. It's a stone-cold lock.

Well being that there's a metric shitton of non-gay child molestation (yeah, check on your daughters and such....almost all of their molestation is by straight men). The most common denominator is "molesters are male" (notwithstanding the fun people have in posting hot female teachers who diddle their students). The problem - if you want to narrow it down to "one group" -- isn't gay men, it isn't straight men.....it's "men." Not that I support broad condemnation of men as predators, or any shit like that. A pedo is a pedo. I have been around kids a jillion times in my life, male and female. I have managed to molest zero kids. Not because I'm straight, or if I was gay, because I was gay, but because I'm not a pedo predator. Some men, however, are pedo predators. Deal with it on a case-by-case basis. Oh, and as for the instances of gay men committing sex crimes against boys, dig a little deeper. How often is the perpetrator a closet case who society, his family, etc., has forced to live a lie? Want to make it less likely that a gay dude will turn predator? Stop stigmatizing being gay. Let the dude live his life, have sex with other consenting dudes without being judged, hated, or ostracized, and I suspect you'd see the instances of abuse by gay men (which, again, is not materially statistically greater than their presence in society as a whole) drop. Shit, that's a big part of the molesting priest problem: society told gay men they can't be gay, the priesthood was a recommended "refuge" for them to be celibate, except they just got stuck there being super sexually frustrated. If Father Diddlepants had just been allowed to be Regular Gay Dude, he'd just be out there sipping chardonnay and having gay sex with other consenting gay guys, instead of feeling tempted by all the altar boys. Leave consenting adults alone. Stop stigmatizing consenting adults. And make anyone - of any sexual orientation - who has sex without consent (rape, pedophilia, etc.) pay a hefty price. Oh, and teach your kids about sex so they know that it's wrong when Uncle Grabbyhands grabs their peepee or their hooha.

Exactly. I mean, the fact that we've literally TRIED this brand of idiocy before, and every economist with two brain cells to rub together concluded "yeah, that was a massive fuckup," and now we're doing the "but it might work for us" routine is fucking maddening.

No, the problem is with predatory, monopolistic practices, which achieve their greatest success when backed with stacks of money. The money is just an enabler/accelerator. -
Well, I suspect it all comes back to the fact that "massive tariffs here there and everywhere" is the dumbest economic approach this country has taken in nearly 100 years. It is idiotic, has always been idiotic, has been proven to be idiotic, so of course....a cadre of idiots is JUST the group to give it another try. We are a nation that owes its existence to global trade: there'd be no "New World" (that is, a North America colonized by and then independent from European powers) without the GLOBAL quest for spices, gold, silver, cotton, tobacco, etc. the British Empire didn't ban the trade of tea, tobacco, cotton, precious metals from outside Great Britain in some idiotic quest to "make Britain great again." Trade MADE the British Empire. Trade MADE the US. And here we go, crushing the fuck out of it because we are run by a bunch of xenophobic, nativist fucking morons.

This. The idea of vast rings of pedophiles and such is wildly overstated. Pedophilia is almost surely occurring at something close to its historical rate, with 95% or more of it being committed by the usual suspects: family members and people in a position of trust (coach, scoutmaster, youth pastor, etc.) Drag queens and Epstein aren't coming for your kids. That sort of abuse is statistically insignificant. Your pastor, your brother-in-law, their coach, THAT'S who's coming for your kids.

See....y'all thought I was kidding when I said I was angling for a position in Doomlet's future presidential cabinet. I was not kidding. I am going to what it takes to be appointed Secretary of Deez Nutz, or somesuch. @Prepuce of Doom knows I'm right. Doomlet is future POTUS material, we're just waiting till he turns 35.

Pretty sure my old man saw Stella D'or strip in New Orleans back in '62. Said she was a stunner. But dad drank a lot back in those days, so who's to say.

Oh, absolutely point well-taken. I was posting with tunnel-vision, with the perspective being solely of developed economies. Because you're right, as economies develop and women have choices, birthrates go down. My point is that once you are a developed economy and women have choices....then that society needs to pivot to take an approach that makes the choice of having kids a more attractive one.

Bro seems happy. Good for him, live your best life. Or beast life. Whatever.

So….the last paragraph…literally the 180 degree opposite of our current system and approach. That’s 956’s point. Combine our VC culture with our economic system of complete oligarchical regulatory capture and government-enforced consolidation of economic power in those oligarchs (and strident anti-immigration, anti-trade, and such), and you get fuckery all the way down. “Growth” is an illusion created by a society that is consuming its consumers. It’s perfectly apt that AI outfits boost sales by buying their own products, really - fits perfectly with the zeitgeist. -
Young people aren’t getting married and starting families at the old rate. The #1 reason for such behavior, historically and globally at present, is economic. Give people hope, support, and an economically viable future, and you’ll get more babies. But our answer? Sorry, best we can do is a plan to subjugate women, be morality cops, create a massive secret police force to terrorize the public (particularly Latinos, who are 20% of the population and have one of our highest birthrates), set up a system made to make affordable housing very difficult, destroy what little healthcare system we have, and demonize and destroy every public health effort we can find. Yeah, I just can’t imagine why young folks aren’t super pumped about having 3 kids.

With my luck, I have something fucking useless in me, like a Diner's Club card.

Odd way to tell us you blew the dean of admissions, but way to be a go-getter.

Looks more like the Total Recall bar. See a chick with three tits? Wait....does 3 putt have three tits? That would make sense.

Who's that weird white chick? And where's her chimp? -
I mean, that's just good thinking.

The condition is satisfied if he parties any portion of the day. So that's an easy box to check. But then he's got the challenge of having Rock n Roll ALL night. Part of the night won't cut it.

Her cousin Shirine Boutella also makes the list. Just pretty people. -
I presume it's longhaired message board owners. That's the right answer, right?
