How dare those workers who didn't come to work because we didn't want to pay them didn't want to work for free for over a month:

Besset came out afterwards to say that it wouldn't be literal checks but...."money returned through savings elsewhere".

So basically bullshit lmao.

like one of those coupon books people sell you for fundraisers

Theres a lot of chatter about the $2000. When people hear that they think itll be something they can deposit into their account but may not even be in the form of a check.

Those emails are maintained by interns and if youre lucky one might open one up and if theres a compelling storyline in there theres a slight chance they might pass it up the chain to their supervisor who then might pass it to their supervisor who will likely then forget about it.

my wife was an intern and that was her role

Reporting I've seen said Shaheen and King were leading it, yeah.

"Deal" appears to be:

CR through January 30
Dems get to put an ACA bill up for a vote by/in December (which will obviously be voted down)
The shutdown RIFs are reversed and backpay guaranteed
SNAP funded through FY26

Which is like literally nothing. Like the entire shutdown accomplished absolutely nothing with this result except that I rather doubt the administration will faithfully follow the RIF language here so maybe people will have gotten screwed for nothing. Absolutely worthless cave.

there was never going to be any win and there never will be until after the midterms in the best case scenario. The GOP is fine with starvation. These arent even the republicans of 10 years ago and the republicans of 10 years ago were godawful people.

It is the right thing to do but the reality is there arent any enough republicans with even a sliver of decency in the senate.

The narrative being spun in right wing circles is that Bidens SC pick is the one who took SNAP away btw

The thing about elections is that none of whats going on now matters. The midterms just like the general is basically the jet bike race from Chrono Trigger.

They have boxed themselves into a corner on SNAP, because the court order makes them own it. Complying with it now puts a spotlight on the fact they couldve always done it. Keeping it in litigation allows them to blame the courts and hope the Dems cave and get them off the hook.

I mean on that side of it you have MTG. Like still a huge POS but they start breaking the MAGA line like it's nothing once that's what they think will keep them afloat. And you're gonna start seeing more people act like her over the next year.

just wait to see how many of claim they were never really big supporters of Trump

Wouldnt be surprised if Trump said that because hes never personally bought groceries or gas in his entire life

Ive heard that quote before I believe its from his first term

The Roberts court ceded a bit of their power to the executive theyre in no position to then complain about he executive having too much. They stopped with checks and balances a long time ago.

Just call it a day of the dead costume

I still think the Democrats will cave, because unfortunately enough of them caring if people starve or not gives the GOP the leverage.

Shouldnt be too surprising considering where the polls have placed the average age of gamefaqs users these days

well be sharing obits before we know it

had one done over the summer. Unfortunately it wasnt routine but diagnostic. I did the sulflave prep which just basically gets it all over with quicker, although it tastes awful after so many swigs. I had trouble not puking it was making me gag so much. I remember being worried about my first BM post procedure because it took almost 5 days probably due to me being so empty. At least the first one was normal.

But turns out I have ulcerative colitis for sure. Crohns disease hasnt been diagnosed yet, he wants to wait until the follow up in January to see if the medication is making any progress.

There are definitely some positions where if he takes them his base has turned on him and each time he backpedals but what those lines are are weird and I'm not sure if I can comprehend them. Vaccines was one, Epstein seems to be another, I think there's a chance that foreign aid to Argentina, etc. might be but idk because somehow no one seems to be talking about it so maybe not.

Argentina is also the country undercutting American soybean farmers and sending them into bankruptcy. The worse part is we can be glib about the fate of the people who will always support him despite suffering from it, but this will take us all down in the end.

Watching Sliwa on CNN.

Over the last couple months I've gone from "hell yeah idiot, stay the fuck in" to "yeah man, stay the fuck in". As much as the guy goes against everything I would ever want, at least he's being a 100% honest straight arrow. It's not even for the sake of Mamdani, who at this point probably still beat Cuomo is a 1-on-1, Sliwa earned his place on the ballot and he should stay on the fucking ballot! Glad to see he's not budging at all.

....He stick sucks ass though, to be clear.

people would unironically say this about Trump during the 2016 election, too.

I wonder what changed for Israel to actually release all their hostages too. Details on ceasefire here. It's a lot of ideas Netanyahu hates, so it probably won't go through.

its a long game. Get more control over the Trump Admin. Recoup some PR on the home front. The hostages dont really matter to Israel. And when there even a minor skirmish in the coming months that can be used for escalation.

Hostages freed!!!

Yeah, good news for the wrong reasons is still good news. We all know this wont last but well take it for now

Man this about Israel-Hamas is wild. Bibi is openly fellating Trump lol

1 November 100% tariff on top of existing tariffs on China my ass, lmao. Basically every hobby will evaporate if that goes through.

it wont. Theres likely already a deal in place they just want to make it seem like this threat meant something.

These tariffs are lose-lose. The admin is rightfully catching heat from farmers because of china completely halting soybean sales. But china is in a losing position as well. They have just as much incentive to come to the table as we do. The struggle is not coming out looking like you caved.

This isn't even the first time I've seen the Weezer comparison for this album lmao

i assure my take is organic lol. Im just a weezer fan whose wife listens to Taylor swift

Wifes been listening to it all morning. I dont know , kinda getting into Weezer territory with the every song sounding the same and following formula

Technically theyre a nut, and I think theyre delicious

Plot twist: they made it past the grand jury.

Comey was indicted.

I mean, I dont feel bad for Comey. The guy has always been dirty and a creep.

How many shots do you think Travis Kelce has given her

Love black&white cookies.

missed opportunity but my wife once ate one and then complained it wasnt mixing well in her stomach. Unfortunately she didnt watch Seinfeld so my joke didnt land

Lets get to work

If Im standing up when I order and pick it up Im not tipping. I wish the prep cooks get paid more but they get paid different than the serve staff.

with that said, I tipped on carry out during Covid

They know theyre on their way out and cant bring in new support.. Theyre just trying to sop up as much money as they can from the brand loyalists.
