Y’know:

The “Government Shutdown” is now starting to pinch people, Government workers are now actually missing paychecks. Some “Entitlements” are about to stop.

I am all for standing firm and getting change. If you actually get change.

Anyone wanna bet that the Republicans fold like they always do?  Thus making the “shutdown” a waste of time and need less pain go a lot of people with no real gain?

Were it legal, I’d put real cash on the line—9:2 that the Republicans give up before Thanksgiving and thus gain nothing for the pain they have already helped cause.

Put your dates as to when they fold in comments.

 

WwwWednesday werds of Wisdom fitty-six

 

“A person whose heart carries poison yet wears a mask of kindness is more dangerous than one who walks with a sword”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do”

“The best way to get ahead is to get started”

“Endeavour to live such that even the undertaker will feel sorrow”

“Don’t leave a lover or a friend to teach them a lesson…. rather, leave because you have learned yours”

“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters”

 

most very very interesting:

Seems that there is some evidence that Biden did not actually do the last minute pardons of folks like Anthony Fauci (why did he need a pardon???) and all the others..

Biden aides used autopen to pardon Fauci and president’s family without his approval, House report says

 

It would seem to me that the use of the autopen should be reserved for instances, rare instances, where the President is travelling and needs to sign emergency authorizations in instances like war or terrorism or sudden natural disasters.

 

The rest is like “normal” voting: do it in person  or it isn’t valid. Handwritten signatures.

 

 

Question for the Legal Beagles

Can George Zinn be charged with Murder?

He’s the idiot who falsely claimed that he was the one who shot Charlie Kirk…and admitted he did so to help the Real shooter.

 

This makes him as far as I can tell, “Accessory After the Fact”, which in most jurisdictions is the same as if he had committed the crime itself…

Just asking, ’cause if they can charge him, it would seem to me they SHOULD do so, if only to discourage such behavior in the future.

 

 

enquiring minds nd all that

 

Yours and mine??

“It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it,”

 

Odd, innit. The White House is “Our” house… Locked behind gates and a fence (but “fences don’t work”)..

Yet thousands of people were prosecuted and punished for entering the Capitol, also “The people’s House”.

So which is it? Does the White House and other government buildings actually belong to us, or not?

If so, why are we barred from entering it/them?

 

Please, pick one or the other, this constant changing of rules is giving me a headache…
