    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    Why would a 1 year extension be a non-starter? This would end the shutdown and kick the can down the road for another year. What am I missing here in Thune's thinking, outside of that the don't want to negotiate at all?

    Here is Townhall.Com, reacting to the Supreme Court stay on SNAP payments: “Good! SNAP is RIFE with fraud! Time for MASSIVE CHANGES to the program, and no more dessert cakes, sugary junk, luxury coffee, etc.” “Please sir,” said Oliver Twist, “May I have some more?” “MORE!” Mr. Bumble roared. “More, you ungrateful wretch!”

    Adams. Stafford looks for him in the red zone. Mills doesn’t have the arm to get it downfield to Collins so might see a lot more targets short to Schultz & Kirk

    I have game pass so get it for free. I did pay the extra $30 to get the deluxe version. I tend to prefer black ops to other renditions, so hoping this new one will be cool.

    So the original demand from the Democrats was to make the ACA subsidies permanent. Now they are compromising, asking for a 1 year extension only. Thune says it’s a non-starter. Why? Why keep the government shut down over 1 year of spending?
  9. Still waiting for @HellToupee to provide any link or proof that Disney is responsible for these 4 tragic deaths.

  12. The Song Here I Go Again by Whitesnake year was 1982 and dang sure I didn't listen to it till 87 when it was a hit. Was the song reissued in 87 ? I know it was not a big hit in 82!

    Correct on Taylor Swift. The 2nd is actually Paris Hilton, but close enough.
  14. I have a friend who's been on it a couple of years because he retired @ 58 & his employer doesn’t offer healthcare insurance post retirement. He's single, & his premiums averaged $150 a month in 2024 & 2025. The downside is that he has an annual deductible of $8000.00 & doesn't cover dental or vision even if the deductible has been met. His gross income is around 44K per year. I see these ACA commercials & wonder how it works for these people, or if these are even real examples ? The 1st family (man/woman/one child 3) gets healthcare for $57 per month *with financial help* Next is a single woman who gets coverage for $0.00 per month *with financial help* Next is a single mom with one son. She gets coverage for $16 a month *with financial help* Next is a single man who gets coverage for $0.00 per month *with financial help* Question 1: The financial help they're referring to is the enhanced subsidies ? The amount of subsidies you qualify for, are determined by your income. If the guy I know whose making 44K per year, has a premium of $150 per month, & the single man & woman featured on this ad get it for $0.00 per month, they must almost literally, have no income. Question 2: Does anyone here know someone in that situation ? Do they have a deductible ? If so, it certainly couldn't be anywhere near 8K per year like the guy I know.

    MW2 Multiplayer was the best COD of all time and Campaign was cool too. I play Black Opps 6 now and just average and just bought it to play with friends once or twice a week. I'm not much of a fan of COD when the new systems came out 10 years back. I might buy BO 7 if my friends do and if they don't then I'll pass. You getting the new 7?

    Of course Brahma is lying about it. Their playbook is to lie about something that they claim you said and when you ask for a link they say the thread was deleted but everyone remembers that you said it.

    Yeah I've been more disappointed than pleased with the most recent cod releases. Was thinking of going back to battlefield

    I don’t know what the thinking was. But it seems to me that what you’re suggesting would mean simply including the ACA extension within the current CR bill. Which I’m pretty sure the Dems would go for, don’t you think?

    Why a year? Shouldn't it only be until the full budget is passed? You know, when negotiation is supposed to actually happen?

  25. Listen you focking little fringe don’t overstep your boundaries with me., I’m not your Stepin Fetchit AI Overview. The phrase " I'm not your Stepin Fetchit" means "I am not your subservient, simple-minded servant". It is used to reject being treated as a lackey or someone who can be ordered around to "step and fetch it" (literally, to run errands).
