Remember when Cruz declared that GOP is the party of the blue collar (idiots with guns and propensity to fuck themselves economically in the ass).

Just look how desperate they are to go after striking union members. REALLY blue collar.

GOPs new pathetic attack in the Merrick Garland hearing; STATRU OF LEMMITATION MAN...

GOPs guy, David Weiss, apparently let some of it expire. Something the AG let David Weiss control himself. You know the guy GOP tried to turn into the hero of the day but it turns out he sucked so bad that GOP turned that moment into another dud.

GoP did get their special council, but now they're moving the goal posts again because this was never an honest look into wrongdoings. Just a pathetic smear campaign. And here's the thing; if you are going to smear something. Keep it vague, keep it muddled and move fast. So no one understand the scope of what the fuck is going on and vaguely think something might be wrong.

Here instead we have GOPs BS and incompetence on full display. They ADMIT they got nothing, but that you should ignore that they got NOTHING and instead IMAGINE if there WAS something. Thats right. What IF they were right eventho they have no evidence. Some corporate media has fallen for it since they're not interested in reporting facts. It is more about the appearance of impropriety. You know, in the servitude of the intellectually lazy 'both sides'. Like a drug addicted president spawn that threw away a gun after owning the empty gun for 11 days. OR a family of spawns that either stole from or defrauded their own charities and a son in law that got 2 billion from a Middle East country under super fishy conditions (and leaked intelligence to said Middle East countries). I mean...yeah, the troubled guy that is now being investigated to death about shit that GOP doesn't even want to regulate (guns) or the clearly fishy conditions of getting a shit ton of money going to a family of grifters.

But anyways. Both sides. And thanks to GOP strong stance on law and order and family values, they are clearly doing all of this for the right reason. And not because they suck so hard that they're losing entire generations of voters.

Americans are nine days away from experiencing yet another government shutdown. Former President Donald Trump, who led a 35-day shutdown in 2019, is suggesting Republicans should let it happen again.

On Wednesday night, Trump took to his social media site Truth Social to offer advice to Republican lawmakers. If Congress doesn't reach an agreement on funding before September 30, the federal government will shut down — and with that deadline just nine days away, the GOP has yet to find a viable solution to keep the government funded.

Trump, who was responsible for the longest government shutdown in US history, urged Republicans to make the most of the "very important deadline" to keep the government funded.

"Republicans in Congress can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden's weaponized Government that refuses to close the Border, and treats half the Country as Enemies of the State," Trump posted on his site. "This is also the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other Patriots. They failed on the debt limit, but they must not fail now. Use the power of the purse and defend the Country!"

BTW, the result of that shutdown? No changes - BUT

The federal government shutdown cost the economy $11 billion, according to a new analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Although most of the damage to the economy will be reversed as federal workers return to their jobs, the CBO estimated $3 billion in economic activity is permanently lost.Jan 28, 2019

That's right. The idiot right wasted 11 billion dollar and 3 permanently lost. Great work.

And this shut down? Will be similar. Lost economic growth, wasted money and little will change.

You gotta be a fucking idiot to do the same shit over and over...but that is GOP for you. No ideas, just the same stupid shit they've tried before and failed. And the idiots voting for them gives them 3 thumbs up.

India suspends visa services in Canada

amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/09/21/india/india-canada-travel-advisory-assassination-row-intl-hnk/index.html

Let's review.
Canada:
- accuses India of an assassination
- evicts one diplomat believed to be the head of Indian Intel operations in Canada

India:
- denies accusation
- accuses Canada of harboring terrorists
- evicts one diplomat
- demands reduction of Canadian mission
- issues travel advisory
- suspends visa services

Proportional...

Someone in the congressional office of Rep. Angie Craig is having fun with acronyms.

On Wednesday, the Minnesota Democrat unveiled a bill taking aim at House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as the federal government nears a shutdown at the end of the month. Party in-fighting has left the Republican leader struggling to pass a spending plan to fund government services.

Craig’s bill would block members of Congress from receiving their scheduled pay if the government shuts down and federal workers are furloughed. She is calling the legislation the My Constituents Cannot Afford Rebellious Tantrums, Handle Your Shutdown Act, or the MCCARTHY Shutdown Act for short.

The Democrat said her tribute to the House speaker, if passed, would make sure lawmakers experience the same lost paychecks as regular Americans.

“Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans are ready to shut down the federal government and put the livelihoods of working families at risk — while still collecting a paycheck,” Craig said in a statement. “t’s ridiculous that we still get paid while folks like TSA workers are asked to work without a paycheck.”

According to the bill text, lawmakers’ pay during the shutdown period would be held in escrow until the final day of the session, when it would be released for payment so as not to violate the law prescribing congressional salaries.

I agree. If they keep shutting down government it should hit our reps and their staff first.

If you can't legislate without the usual nonsense you don't deserve pay.
