    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    When they're leftoids who've spent their government careers undermining their own country on the taxpayer dime, you kind of don't give a sh*t. For example: Immigrants in Chicago area live 'in absolute fear' as federal agents search for 'criminal aliens' - YouTube

    The city of Detroit has two congressional members: this plastic faced person and Rashida Tlaib.

    Your team and Miami look to have recent WR vacancies as well. That sucks for every team, especially for struggling ones, but congrats to both for absorbing the blow and pulling out wins regardless.

    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    Hopefully this shutdown means all the people DOGE identified for termination can be fired and told not to come into work anymore now that the Democrats haven't provided any money to pay them. Since it just happened yesterday and is still in the news cycle, I'd stare with letting the CEO of Voice of America run Voice of America, rather than the activist lower court judge who decided he had the authority to appoint himself as CEO of Voice of America. Sorry folks. There's no money. Bye.

    Who is Bad Bunny? SB Half Time Show Performer 2026

    God Bless having grown up in the 70s and 80s. Lady Gaga has a song called Pokerface that kids in China liked and sounds decent, Justin Beiber is Canadian. Taylor Swift hangs out with Travis Kelce. Eminem has a lytic in one of his songs about mom's spaghetti. I know he sings about 8 Mile, where we both grew up, but I don't know what he has to say about it. Its probably true. I do endorse every word that he says about Scott Mitchell's time as Lions quarterback in the 90s destroying Barry Sanders' career as God's honest truth. His version of events is exactly how I remember it. Ed Shirhan got a cameo on Game of Thrones because the chick who played Arya Stark is a fan. I think he'd threated to quit making music if he lost a lawsuit that he won. My sense is he is a decent talent. I've heard of Kendrick Lamar and Ariana Grand. I know Kanye West best of all of them because of him making an ass of himself in politics but I couldn't ID a single lyric. Beyonce has been around a long time and I know that I can be entertained by her. I may even like a song without knowing she's the one who sang it. Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls works for me. Is that her? That's about the extent I know about any of these acts until we get all the way down to Michael Jackson at 41.

    This is so exciting. I can't wait to see what Russell Vought chooses to defund first.

    Clearly, gutterboy is the only person who understands what's going on. Everybody else in the country, including his own allies, are all in the dark. It must be lonely being the one single person with his level of understanding to post here.

    Hopefully JustinCharge emerges out of his nuclear bunker tomorrow, I'm curious to know if he sees his shadow.

    I see that you think you have discovered something that you think will pass for a worthwhile talking point. It really encapsulates your level of understanding the situation.

    Who knows/cares what Shumer wants? Continue to ignore him completely, offer him zero concessions, provide him zero face saving measure, and just let Russell Vought handle things for a few months.

    baseball has it nerve racking moments for sure. Thrilled to see that boneheaded baserunning blunder. Detroit is a tough assignment in a three game series due to Skubal, but Cleveland almost stole it.

    Who is Bad Bunny? SB Half Time Show Performer 2026

    It seems he's a crossdresser too who he avoids performing in the US because he hates President Trump. He's a crossdressing Puerto Rican leftoid rapper who mixes politics with music. Maybe gutterboy is onto something after all. From knowing fock-all nothing about this person 12 hours ago, I could not be less impressed with this choice. I won't l be tuning in. I learned my lesson. I can only handle about two seconds of rap before the headache kicks in. You guys might recall, since I had been online chatting with you in real time during halftime of that Super Bowl sixteen or so years ago when it happened. I still remain traumatized to this day from those thirty desperate seconds I spent searching for the remote as Black Eyed Peas-generated screeching noise emanated from my TV. And they were only wearing wacky space suits, not dressing like women. Never again. My God, it pains me that the Lions might have to win their first Super Bowl with this guy around.

    Me too. Both for the chance of winning and for avoiding the ignominity associated with such a dreadful collapse, which'd be brought up as a point of comparison for all eternity whenever a hot team fades down the stretch and misses the playoffs.

    I still doubt anyone cares. Lots of entertainers are anti-Trump. We're use to it.
