    Official Gavin Newsom Thread

    I’m still not understanding you. You’re arguing that it was undemocratic to put the issue up for a vote a second time? The voters decided one way; then they changed their minds and decided another way. How is this undemocratic?

    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    So this article is filled with MAGA folks upset with Trump because they’re not getting SNAP benefits. One woman in a MAGA sweatshirt went beserk at a store because there was no money on her EBT card: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/f-king-warned-maga-supporters-164108482.html The second half of the article is filled with non-MAGA responses which are not exactly sympathetic: “We focking warned you, this is what you voted for.” I don’t share that sentiment. So what if these folks voted for Trump and continue to support him? They don’t deserve to suffer or go hungry. Nobody does. I despise people who take pleasure out of the suffering of others.

    And this is the third mention of trannies in this thread.

    So the voters of California just overwhelmingly voted to overturn the will of the voters?

    Why is it a relevant fact? Please explain.

    I would just like to know why this particular fact is relevant.

    My fantasy opponent has Jonathan Taylor this week. I have barely any points up yet and I’m already down 50-0. Lol

    If the driver had been Caucasian, would this thread be titled “White street racer”? Just curious.

    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    New poll: 50% of the public blame Republicans for the shutdown, 42% blame Democrats: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/11/09/trump-approval-rating-falls-in-new-poll-democrats-2026-stock-rises/87181915007/ According to @jerryskids this is only because the MSM, under the control of the DNC, tells the public what to think. That’s one explanation I suppose. Another might be that the public is watching what is happening and making up their own minds based on what they’re seeing and experiencing.

    Trump called Schumer's BLUFF

    This proposal has been offered by Lindsey Graham for several years. The main result is that it would allow insurance companies to jack up rates for pre-existing conditions.

    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    My new 3 part solution to ending the shutdown: 1. The Nobel committee announces immediately that Trump will be the recipient of next year’s peace prize; it’s already been decided, and that it was a unanimous decision, first time ever. 2. The Washington Commanders announce that the new stadium will be named Trump stadium. 3. The SNAP program will be renamed the “Trump SNAP Program”. If we can get these all done the shutdown will be over in a matter of minutes.

    They are using the mention of Argentina to avoid having to defend the real issue here: that Trump is purposefully withholding SNAP funds because he believes it will punish Democrats and force them to surrender on the shutdown.

    US Federal Government Shutdown Thread

    I would like one of the many Trump supporters in this forum to offer a serious defense of what the administration is doing, right now, in real time, to hold back on sending SNAP payments. Not only are the optics terrible (perhaps the worst ever optics for a President in my lifetime) it seems morally wrong to withhold funds for this program so long as the money remains available. But go ahead please defend this if you can.

    Thanks. But they don’t bother me. Hopefully some of these guys will get bored and go away eventually if I don’t respond to them here.

    I think Indiana, Alabama, or Georgia could beat them. Thats about it though.

    I love both. I think the Stones are slightly better but probably enjoy the Beatles a little more. So it’s a toss up.

    Nuremberg was very good but not great. I feel like the courtroom scenes could have been more dramatic than they were. Overall I give the movie a B. Russell Crowe, however. , gave an Oscar worthy performance IMO.

    The average life span for US males is 75 years. This means I have probably lived 80% of my life already. I can’t afford to waste one second of the remaining 20% on anything to do with Ewoks (and for that matter, Star Wars.)

    Actually I stand corrected: the song is from 1976; the boat sank in 1975.

    That song is not only 50 years old; it’s 50 years long.
