• Government Re-opened

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Wed Nov 12 21:23:26 2025
    Thanks to the help of 6 house Democrats, the federal government has re-opened.

    This whole time I was blaming Democrats for the shutdown, but they're only partly to blame. What's up with the RINOs in the Senate?

    Rand Paul voted against re-opening it just a few days ago because he said it didn't do enough for hemp production. That miserable POS/SOB/RINO let military families starve because of f'n hemp? That's despicable. There's only 1 thing left for him to do; resign in disgrace.

    It's great that the government is back on track, but is it really back on track? With these slimy aholes in office? What great thing are they gonna do next?

    Rand has a bit of a point: The Dems snuck in something extra in the spending bill that basically puts hemp farmers out of business.

    Why? I have no idea. That item should never have been in the bill.

    Of course it's back on track. On the same track it's been on for decades.

    I didn't know that but I see what you mean by "a bit of a point."

    But still, he's only doing half the job if he doesn't explain himself and the situation more. The public needs to know why Democrats had "reefer madness" just a couple years ago and why they now want to sabotage the growers.

    Why? I have no idea. That item should never have been in the bill.

    It's interesting. Usually they create a problem then offer a solution, but this time they're doing it backwards. Anthropologists should be studying it.

    Rand was correct to call out that this wasn't a "clean spending bill" because of the couple of things that the Dems put in. He was correct to call out that those things would hurt some Americans.

    But he wasn't correct in that we should continue to hurt thousands of people for the sake of a few - which can be corrected later.

    So only a "bit" of a point.

    Correct. Rand seems to be slipping. Could he be compromised now?

    It's interesting. Usually they create a problem then offer a solution,
    but this time they're doing it backwards. Anthropologists should be studying it.

    It's more a job for psychaitrists.

    But we already know why they do these things: Power.

    If I understand correctly, the hemp ban was still ultimately included, so Rand's half-assed-hero move was still for nothing.

    I've noticed the RINO in him coming out more and more. He's probably the biggest faker of all the senate RINOs. I hope he doesn't run for president.

    Yes. The left is into experimentation, and they're experimenting with all kinds of things lately.

    The labor unions in my state are telling their members that "The socialist Democrats are the enemy" and that they "have to support the regular Democrats."

    Nice experiment. It will play out great for them as long as nobody asks any questions.

    You might end up with homeless sleeping and whatnot on the bus because it's free.

    I think because you have to pay to get on it you won't be subject to all the extra stuff that goes with it.

    SOLVE the problem, find work and good paying jobs rather than having a free for all to get votes.

    In 2030 the voters in NYC can consider that as an option, but it's ultimately up to the uniparty. Maybe they'll want to "fix problems they created." (They must be familiar with that by now.)

    Yup. But the old Democrats knew that they needed to strike a balance. Create some problems. Then create some solutions to "fix" those problems - but really it was to "contain" those problems. If they let the problems grow, people will quickly realize that they aren't fixing them and elect someone else.

    The new Democrats...er... Socialists just break stuff and tell you that they are going to fix them using Socialism - which has never fixed anything in history.

    In the case of Starbucks, the homeless were basically living there, smelling the place up, doing drugs in the bathrooms, and generally making the paying customers not go their for their fruu fruu coffee drinks.

    Same here. I think it was mainly because we were hitting puberty soon and needed to be told what was coming up. Surprisinly, I knew some families who thought that they could keep this all a secret from their kids.

    My parents gave us a set of books made for us to explain things further and then we had the talk about anything else. Ex: "You get a girl pregnant before you're married and we will kill you and bury your body in the backyard."

    But, due to our food, kids are hitting puberty much earlier.

    I think things have morphed from sex ed to some kind of gender ed.
    Where they aren't covering topics on reproduction but rather
    woke-gender stuff.

    Ya. It started with "your body is changing", then morphed to "here's the ways you can have safe sex", then "here's all the kinky things you can do". Now it's just messed up even worse.

    But that's always been their playbook: Small shifts toward their goal and by the time people notice, it's too late.

    The woke gender stuff starts even earlier here, and it's even embedded in our healthcare system.

    And, sorry to say this... Amanda goes to a Catholic School, can you imagine what's going on at the Public Schools.

    You can add the Roman Catholic Church to the list of woke organizations. I go to Catholic mass every week and it's getting worse and worse.

    They're trying to teach the parishioners to welcome illegal immigrants, to appreciate universities, and to donate to non-profit organizations. Church is not what it used to be, either.

    In the case of Starbucks, the homeless were basically living there, smelling the place up, doing drugs in the bathrooms, and generally
    making the paying customers not go their for their fruu fruu coffee drinks.

    You can add the Roman Catholic Church to the list of woke organizations.
    I go to Catholic mass every week and it's getting worse and worse.

    They're trying to teach the parishioners to welcome illegal immigrants,
    to appreciate universities, and to donate to non-profit organizations. Church is not what it used to be, either.


    If I recall the pope recently poked his head into the Transgender stuff.

    I understand sometimes the pope, and other religious leaders do ... The Bible came before the constitution.

    I understand if a church wasn't to feed people and what not. They need to stay the eph out of politics.

    If they are preaching the existence of God they'd be better off just telling their congregation to pray.

    Because, according to Christian belief, God answers prayers.

    Speaking of which, we actually need to let them break stuff sometimes.
    Let them close down all the grocery stores so that they can dictate
    what people will eat for breakfast.

    And I think that's why no one is stopping people like Mamdani. Let people see what the reality is.
    Some will always deny Reality - but they are mentally ill and will be ignored after a while anyway.

    I just saw another mayor who put out an illegal dictate that says that grocery stores are no longer allowed to close in her city. These people need to get a reality check and understand that they are NOT our rulers. But those kinds of people can never accept reality.

    I was agreeing with Joe that churches need to stay out of politics. In my case it's the Catholic church. They get a large group of us together for mass, and they con us into praying for illegal immigrants.

    This is in addition to them taking our donations and spending some of the money on attorneys for illegal immigrants.

    Pope Leo likes illegal immigrants so much, that we should deport them to the Vatican. The Apostolic Palace is 1.7 million sqft. We can pack a lot of sardines in there.

    That wasn't the "close" I was referring to.

    It's closer to:
    Imagine investing your life savings to open a grocery store. Only to be robbed every day by "customers" and employees. The paying customers stay away because of the crime. So you reach a point where the store is now a money pit and you are going to close the business and move elsewhere, only to have the mayor dictate that you can't do that and you have to keep the store open and keep losing money.

    Leftoids cannot comprehend Reality.

    Not allow them to permanently close their store? That's even more awful. It always seemed like a smart idea to run a business in a big city, but not anymore.

    You can still pray... Pray that the ILLEGALS accept the $1,000.00 and the ticket to go home.

    When they go home their family can bring them in to the country legally...

    BTW, TODAY I helped an other Canadian file to bring their son into the US. I love Legal Immigration.

    Pray that the Illegal thugs get caught before they rape any more women and children.

    Pray that the Illegal thugs that bring in and sell Fentanyl that kills 100s or thousands of Americans each year get arrested and are forced to have anal sex with other inmates in prison get caught...

    Pray that ICE finds these thugs and deports them all without any of the Agents getting hurt.

    Pray that these Illegals go home and fight for the right to have a wonderful and free government like we have in the west.

    I can go on and on... Pray for President Trump!!!

    @Aarron, the Catholic Church has been kept alive for decades and decades. They went from preaching ideas that you could find helpful in life to opening NGOs that helped Illegal Immigration activities to a nice fat check from the federal government for Billions and Billions.

    And blatently illegal. But the Elitists never thought that they were bound by the law.

    Nope. A long time ago it was a smart idea. All that traffic. If only 10% buys something from your
    store, you are going to do good.

    But now cities are Blue crime areas. If you sell alcohol, you'll have an islam yelling at you. You have to keep everything locked down or you'll be robbed. And now the Elitists want to control your business (which, interesting, is the very definition of "fascism" that they like to labels others with).

    Let's not get too comfortable! We need to pack our cars full of smart people every election.

    More. We need to train our kids on how to recognize the infiltration and stop it before it starts.

    They are corralling them into "sanctuary cities" where the good people can leave and it makes it easier for ICE to round them up.

    The Catholic Church was always about power. They are one of the founding Elitist groups.

    But they knew that pushing too hard would cause people to rise up against them, so they did the longer term, softly pushing.

    But then other Elitist groups came up, took away their flocks, and the Church had to start playing the game too. In some cases, working with the other Elitist groups.

    Organized religion is the creation of Man for controlling Man.
    Churches get away with it for the most part, because many in the church actually do want to help others selflessly. But the church itself exists to control others.

    There was someone from the Vatican complaining about Trump's
    Immigration policies... He should Shut the FU ... keep their nose out

    I do pray for all that when I pray for President Trump. I pray for him to be able to complete his agenda, and for his health, and the same for Melania, Don Jr, Eric, Tiffany, Ivanka, and Barron, JD, Usha, and now Elise Stefanik too.

    Yea, they are nuts. If they have enough money to pay the electric bill, the water bill, and the priest's salary, then any surplus should be returned to the parishioners; not wasted on things that are hazardous to our health like illegal immigrant attorneys.

    Anyone can talk to the priests but they don't seek our input. They get some money from us, but I think most of their money comes from the Vatican, and officials from the Vatican tell the priest to spend it however he sees fit, which is part of the ridiculousness. (Have you ever had a job like that?)

    Praying is excellent, praying in groups is great too, but pooling money without a clear expectation of where it's going is bad.
