I just think the looks-obsessed MAGAts with their Mar-a-Lago face, hair extensions, barbies everywhere are all overdosing on Ozempic to look slim and it has this odd effect on the face. John Donald Bowman is hitting the spike a lot now, even Bibi is claiming a beach body with his overuse of it.

It’s just weird and kind of creepy in that yet another prophecy of Gilliam’s Brazil is met.

Yeah she’s a proud fascist too but everybody else seemed to have that covered.

Wii was great too but yeah 7 missed all the marks.

Turns out it doesn’t usually work like that.

You can cut his tie off with scissors too, but that also won’t change things until midterms. Might be fun tho.

NoooOOOOooooo what happened to the shutdown?!? It was working great! The corporate news sewers barely mentioned Epstein at all! How did that disappear?!?!

Au contraire. It’s something to do with something.

Ozempic

Are you familiar with the virulent strain of ignorant racist chodery called Qanon?

Surely you’re haranguing your senators when the bill is introduced before the second week of December then.

“Bragging about killing” you. Come the fuck on, Diana.

This fight wasn’t about SNAP, it was about the fucking healthcare.

Yes

The fascists are going to show their asses on health care which - yeah no shit will fuck a bunch of people up, most of them in red states - and then in January they’ll shut it down again and no one will lose food benefits again.

There was literally a court battle in progress that would have forced Trump to pay the SNAP benefits regardless of the shutdown, and they couldn’t even wait for the outcome.

The outcome is that it would go to SCROTUS who would let him do what he wants again. What, you doubt?

Now, there are no extensions for ACA credits, and the Democrats have lost their single biggest point of leverage to force any other legislation.

1. there were not going to be any credits either way. 2) the leverage returns in Jan when the temp funding runs out. Except the Democrats have removed trump’s option to fire people, refuse to pay back wages, and starve people.

To repeat that, in essence, the Democrats just traded slightly sooner SNAP payments that would have already been required to happen in exchange for nothing. That is why people are so angry about this. Hope this helps.

If you think it would be settled in two weeks, you’re wrong. If you think thousands of federal workers would get their jobs back or get paid before the holidays, you’re wrong. If you think some of those workers aren’t ripe targets for espionage, you’re wrong. If you think ACA isn’t going to be a huge and damaging issue for the republiQans you’re wrong.

For bonus fun, all your MAGA relatives get to fight over Epstein during Thanksgiving which wasn’t going to happen.

This article specifically and intentionally downplays or ignores all of that so that it can cast the Democratic party in the worst light possible, which is ‘red meat’ to the leftists who weren’t going to support them in the first place and THAT is why people are so angry about this. It’s easier to presume the Dems have no clue or plan than to allow that they might. HTH.

Oh my, and her name is Midelfart.

I . . . I just can’t with this timeline.

If no lefty-backed politician is making waves like this - if it continues to be silence and sneering, then yeah. Probably.

So where are they? We got three years, but that’s like - two hours in political time. I hope someone’s making plans but everytime I ask, I get one of these answers:

• *crickets*
• oh, so now we have to have a plan?!
• we have a plan, but we’re not going to tell you about it.

Ok then.

Hey, we’ll have none of that talk here. People need go starve over the holidays so that nothing will happen. If you’re going to just, what, feed everyone, get fed jobs, and pay back from the fascists and make sure this specific cruelty won’t happen for another year to also let the premiums skyrocket?

No! Everyone must starve, not have jobs or back pay and premiums skyrocket! That’s why you’re getting downvotes - people want maximum pain for nothing not for something!

Oh also now everyone has no shutdown-travel-cancelled reason to not spend holidays with stupid MAGA family members. Boooooooo! Dems bad!

You fucking pinheads - SNAP is getting funded - for the whole fucking year!

The fascists are going to show their asses on health care which - yeah no shit will fuck a bunch of people up, most of them in red states - and then in January they’ll shut it down again and no one will lose food benefits again.

Plus the GQP will have burned the red states hard because of course they will, and presuming we all live til midterms everyone’s going to be really ready to be done with these incompetent fuckwits.

What the fuck is this bullshit?

Goddamn, just post to c/conservative or head in over to redstate.com for this take and lick it up directly ffs. Fucking Intercept here with all your hot takes and zero useful context. “Look! People being fucked over by politicians! Democrats evil! You can’t trust anybody! Surely the revolution will begin soon, yes comrade?” Garbage.

Assuming the bill gets passed in the House, it would still require approval by the Senate and to be signed into law by President Donald Trump. Senate GOP leaders have not guaranteed they would hold a vote in their chamber.

But Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), the co-sponsor of the bill with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), told reporters Wednesday he believed “40 to 50" Republicans would join Democrats in supporting the bill in the House.

“If we get that kind of overwhelming vote, that’s going to push the Senate, and it’s going to push for a release of the files from the Justice Department,” Khanna said.

Trump officials are still waging an intense pressure campaign to get at least one of three House Republican women to remove their name from the discharge effort, according to two people granted anonymity to share private conversations. If that push is successful, it would complicate efforts to get the measure on the floor in the first place, as Republicans are more likely to vote in favor of the legislation itself than they are to sign onto a discharge petition seen as an outwardly antagonistic gesture toward leadership.

It’s sort of like Pinocchio except instead of her nose growing it’s her lips getting thinner.

Hey the pile of shit who did it before became governor. Admittedly of Arkansas, but still. Any one of Hitler’s cabinet can live well on the grift for the rest of their lives.

The cult will never wake up. If they did, they’d have to kill themselves for being woke.

On Wednesday, US district judge Jeffrey Cummings ordered the justice department to produce a list showing which of the 615 possible class members are still in custody by 19 November, the Chicago Tribune reports.

According to Cummings, he would allow the members’ release on a $1,500 bond as long as they have no criminal history or prior removal order. The ACLU of Illinois said that the order will mean the immediate release of 13 people who have been detained by federal officials.

As part of Wednesday’s order, Cummings also prohibited the government from pressuring detainees to agree to voluntary deportation while their cases are pending, the Chicago Tribune added.

. . . “In addition, more than 600 additional individuals may be released in a week on bond or ankle monitoring, while the parties determine if their arrests violated the consent decree,” Garcia added, referencing a 2022 consent decree that had been previously established concerning warrantless arrests in the Chicago area.

Dems caved and got nothing. NOW LET’S SEE THOSE FILES.

“Shit.”

“What?”

“Mathematicians.”

“Shit.”

“Yeah.”

*sounds of weapons being checked, loaded*
