“I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel.”

Surprised she has the self awareness to realize that her experiences still don't really compare to being sex trafficked.

They're not. It's absolutely something that should have been implemented, but there just isn't any mechanism for legally ousting sitting Senators other than them being indicted on criminal charges. Otherwise Fetterman would have been gone ages ago and would never have been able to participate in this farcical "deal".

I mean, did anyone really expect Masturbator Johnson to let the Trumpstein files vote happen?

Because there's basically two possibilities here, both bad:

1. He had nothing to do with it, which means he has no control over what his own caucus is doing. That's a failure of leadership, so he needs to go.
2. He was involved behind the scenes, but was too chickenshit to put his vote on record. Not only is that a betrayal of everyone who is about to get fucked by their medical premiums, it's also abject cowardice, so he still needs to go.

Of course, he reportedly was actually involved behind the scenes.

Masturbator Johnson already said, even before this "deal" went through, that he'll refuse to allow any vote on the Obamacare subsidies.

I mean, it's not like he's facing any consequences for it, so what does he care?

Did King really believe this, or were there other reasons why he caved? His son, Angus King III, is running for governor of Maine, and Senator King’s decision may have been a misguided attempt to help him. King is also not up for reelection until 2030, so perhaps he thought he could escape electoral consequences.

Isn't the election already over? How does caving now help? And if the gubernatorial election hasn't happened yet, well, vote for the other Democratic candidate, I guess?

But it's okay, because the GOP has promised to think about allowing a vote on extending the Obamacare subsidies!*

*Masturbator Johnson already said fuck that before the neolibs caved

You might be confusing Kaine with Walz? Kaine was Hilary's VP pick in 2016, Walz was Kamala's pick last year (holy fuck, has it only been that long?).

I was going to go for ZX3, but an Elf Wars game is an even better suggestion, which is why Capcom will never do it.

No, the shutdown is because Congress didn't pass a budget to allocate new federal funding. Which means that government agencies don't have any money to pay employees. For most, this means they're furloughed (essentially mandatory unpaid leave), because being forced to work without pay is also called slavery. Some positions, though (like ATC), are considered too vital to shut down so they do it anyway, and in the past provisions would be included in the budgets to give backpay as appropriate. There's some worry that El Taco isn't going to do that this time around, though.

Rural Americans have spent the last 50 years getting bombarded by pedo-con media, and GOP gutted education to make sure they don't have the tools to see past the lies.

What is this? Establishment Dems exercising basic pattern recognition for once?

Remember, every accusation is a confession.

Fucking thank you. I had to click a link in the OP article to another article which mentioned crypto in order figure out that they weren't actually talking about illegal slaughterhouses.

The rubes have already served their purpose. Now is the time to dismantle the mechanisms that would remove them from power, so they can just stay on and laugh at our impotence to do anything about it.

The rates are a lie....

That only works if you can afford to wait them out, and unfortunately far too many people are living paycheck to paycheck.

Neat. Always happy to see more stuff on GOG, even if it ends up just being a game that I still won't buy on yet another platform.
