That is a cute assumption.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/senate-payouts-unnerve-some-in-house-gop-ahead-of-shutdown-vote/ar-AA1QimZO Ted Cruz is about to get a lot of taxpayer funded trips to Cancun! The GOP just doesn't give a damn. Amazing.

2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
We are terrible, Georgia should win convincingly. Doomed.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Yep. Instead they are going out saying "opposing Donald Trump failed so we are trying surrendering" like Angus King basically said. How are these octegenarian politicians so bad at politics? Haven't they been doing this for decades?

They are bipartisan now. That is just a fact. How it will be perceived is something else, I know everything is more about vibes than reality these days.

That would have been great. It would have made cutting the ACA a Republican and not bipartisan effort. And it would have created the precedent for the future.

Poland dumped it long after it was too late so...yeah probably the same situation.

Ok so if there was no possibility to win then why did they win? That doesn't make any sense.

2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
Ok but we aren't making a deal with magical fairies. Losing to Georgia doesn't make it more likely we beat A&M. Besides the best way to get a close loss to Georgia is to try really hard to beat Georgia. Ok. We disagree. Big deal. But we could easily get destroyed by Georgia so even if you have decided this doesn't make a shit if we win it still matters a fuck of a lot. Got to play well at least. So even if we lose I disagree it doesn't matter. If we lose it has to be respectable. If we get blown out then all three games have very little significance.

Yeah I was curious how wanting to force all women wear burkas squared with the fact his wife doesn't even wear a head covering of any kind.

Yes and yes. They would rather people lose their health care than put themselves in the embarrasing position of having to legislate and govern.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
That is also what I wanted to happen.

They chose poorly.

The Dems have been playing this designated villain technique for years. They got 8 volunteers and covered the rest of their asses. If it wasn't these 8, it would have been 8 others.

We could have had short term pain for long term gain. Instead we get both short term pain and long term pain.

2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
There is an enormous amount of significance to this game. Texas wins and suddenly everything becomes very possible. If we lose are we doomed? No but now we pretty much have to beat A&M to even have a shot. But think of what a win might mean.
-
Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Well I can't do anything. None of those Senators come from my state.
-
2025 Week 12: Texas @ Georgia
The whole season can turn on this one game. If Texas wins it, everything opens up for them. Not optimistic but at least we got this deep in the season with this kind of opportunity.

You are bringing up bad memories of the last time the Democrats had a filibuster proof majority. They just designated villains from their own party to undermine their own legislation. There may not be any way out of this in our current system of corruption. Well I am going back to resigned depression. We had almost a week of cautious optimism to the point I was worried people might start to become complacent. Well...no chance of that now.

It is very possible that once flights started getting disrupted that the money people called in their favors.
-
Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Right. So nothing ever gets done. Even when the minority party likes the legislation because it would give the majority party a win and hurt them politically. The filibuster is turning us into an executive autocracy with elections every four years. The legislature cannot do needed things so power and responsibility just accumulates with the President. The Constitution needs the filibuster gone.
-
Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
Yeah that is what it seems like but...I will wait and see.
-
Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
The continued existance of the filibuster continues the eroding of our legislative branch. It needs to go like Poland needed to dump the Liberum Veto. I am baffled why these old Senators think it does anything but completely paralyze a vital branch of our government.

Were they promised Republican votes?
