Yarp, and when you are cutting jalapenos and accidentally touch your eyes it doubles as an emergency eye wash. /s

I do love my bidet though

Earlobe to bellybutton depth ratio. If the number is odd, you get tacos. If it’s even, you get tacos. Other options also available.

I think I get what you mean. You’re saying that lying to people saying you are going to help them, them assuming it is true, and then you not doing so doesn’t include the part that it is supposed to hurt others if I understand correctly, right?

So this is just a standard lie of not helping people who thought their community would be safer with this pedophile ring exposed and off the streets.

I mean I hope/wish it was a joke

“Matt Gaetz would be the best,” former Trump strategist Steve Bannon said on stage with conservative activist Charlie Kirk at this weekend’s Turning Point USA summit.

“Matt Gaetz would be a no brainer, right?” Kirk added to rapturous applause by the crowd.

Remember when Pete Hegseth paused arms to Ukraine and didn’t even bother telling Trump (supposedly)? That was 2 weeks ago. If what shipments going in and out of this country aren’t controlled by Trump, what’s to say when Trump says something will go out it will

Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon are pitching a special prosecutor to look into the Epstein stuff… who do they support to do it? Matt Gaetz. You know, the guy who also traffics underage women for sex. Why would you want something like that one would ask? Child rapists investigating child rapists? Simple… If Gaetz doesn’t manipulate the investigation in a manner that goes the way Trump wants it too, the DOJ can charge and convict him of trafficking and having sex with an underage girl for money, because they never formally charged him previously… It’s not much of a reach to say it was just blackmail they were putting aside to ensure his full cooperation after swearing him in Attorney General. (Thankfully he wasn’t)

It never said to ignore posture did it? It’s a clip that’s about a minute long telling people to keep moving and stay flexible.

Stand dead still at a desk for 8 hours, bad. Sit at a desk for 8 hours, bad.

All it is doing is encouraging people to not get complacent with being still.

I don’t like short video format for stuff like this, but so long as people aren’t idiots and go jump off a roof after sitting at a desk for 10 years it’s a decent message. Climbing, cartwheels, push ups seem to be the quick examples he gives that are better.

Aka, take yoga or some shit, “stay flexi” he says. The title is probably misleading for ragebait

The goal was to shift the majority of all costs to the States and reduce flood insurance coming from the federal government. Remove near all grants to get rid of disaster readiness. How do we know this, it was ALL written in Project 2025.

“These opportunities include privatizing TSA screening and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program, reforming FEMA emergency spending to shift the majority of preparedness and response costs to states and localities instead of the federal government, eliminating most of DHS’s grant pro- grams, and removing all unions in the department for national security purposes.”

“Replacement of the Entire Homeland Security Advisory Committee. The Secretary should plan to quickly remove all current members of the Homeland Security Advisory Committee and replace them as quickly as is feasible.”

“Under the Stafford Act, FEMA has the authority to adjust the per capita indi- cator for damages, which creates a threshold under which states and localities are not eligible for public assistance. FEMA should raise the threshold because the per capita indicator has not kept pace with inflation, and this over time has effectively lowered the threshold for public assistance and caused FEMA’s resources to be stretched perilously thin. Alternatively, applying a deductible could accomplish a similar outcome while also incentivizing states to take a more proactive role in their own preparedness and response capabilities. In addition, Congress should change the cost-share arrangement so that the federal government covers 25 per- cent of the costs for small disasters with the cost share reaching a maximum of 75 percent for truly catastrophic disasters.”

“FEMA is also responsible for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), nearly all of which is issued by the federal government. Washington provides insurance at prices lower than the actuarially fair rate, thereby subsidizing flood insurance. Then, when flood costs exceed NFIP’s revenue, FEMA seeks taxpay- er-funded bailouts. Current NFIP debt is $20.5 billion, and in 2017, Congress canceled $16 billion in debt when FEMA reached its borrowing authority limit. These subsidies and bailouts only encourage more development in flood zones, increasing the potential losses to both NFIP and the taxpayer. The NFIP should be wound down and replaced with private insurance starting with the least risky areas currently identified by the program.”

^^^Note, in November 2017 this $16 billion in debt was bailed out with a Republican Majority in the Senate, the House, and President was Donald Trump. Bill: H.R. 2874

So they used their own acts as the reason why the government was “misusing” funds for federal relief to try to highly shift all recovery efforts to the states.

What does this mean effectively?

The plans for the current administration not only blame Texas’s flooding recovery misfortunes on Texas’s misuse of federal funds that the Republicans “should not have incentivized them to do.”. Then when disaster struck they didn’t answer 2/3rds of the calls, and spent 3 days waiting to deploy relief because their new policy on $100,000+ efforts must all be signed off on prior by DHS (Kristi Noem), yet she effectively didn’t pick up the phone when the emergency occured, nor used any tools/resources to act prior to the event to ensure resources would be available in a scenario of such likeness.

Gotta hope that appeal actually holds up. Otherwise I can only imagine if he’s allowed to shut down the department of education, how long the EPA will last after

Vacancies made it less as I discussed in the other comment, but I think you can win this discussion for the gender affirming care one.

The majority of Republicans voted for it, but they wouldn’t have toppled 217

There are currently 4 vacancies in Congress, half a point a piece per vacancy means 216 to pass, granted it may have been 217 at the time, may have only been 3 out. Hence why they had 217 votes.

Edit: It may have been 3 at the time, either way 216.5 votes

Which I just put elsewhere: 217 Republican votes. (Impossible block, even if the Democrats all hated it which clearly they didn’t)

Also there were 217 votes by Senate Republicans for it, and there are only 212 democrats in the house, so once again, impossible

Yes, remember when you gave me the information to look up the Senate? How would I know to fact check a link you didn’t send

And why do you think Democrats stopping a budget in North Carolina has anything to do with stopping Trump.

For example 52 Republican senators voted for the Laken Riley Act. - that means it is impossible to block

Nope, I looked up the vote numbers by party. Both federal bills outside of the crypto required no Democrats support. It’s just reported that way in those articles because they want to point out that their are shit Democrats.

The North Carolina budget I know nothing about, what they spend money on in their state really has nothing to do with the federal governments agenda.

Also for your breakdown:

Lake Riley act Democrats couldn’t have blocked

The North Carolina budget (not federal) has a Republican Senate and Congress as well, can’t verify what the party line votes even were

crypto bill: Democrats helped pass bill to put “guardrails” on crypto currencys.

Gender affirming care, Democrats couldnt have blocked

So what we see from your examples is that Democrats are worried about Crypto as much as Republicans are.

You have no idea what I believe in, you just don’t like that I pointed out that the Democrats can’t block any of this without Republican support.
