• Government Re-opened

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Wed Nov 12 21:23:26 2025
    Thanks to the help of 6 house Democrats, the federal government has re-opened.

    This whole time I was blaming Democrats for the shutdown, but they're only partly to blame. What's up with the RINOs in the Senate?

    Rand Paul voted against re-opening it just a few days ago because he said it didn't do enough for hemp production. That miserable POS/SOB/RINO let military families starve because of f'n hemp? That's despicable. There's only 1 thing left for him to do; resign in disgrace.

    It's great that the government is back on track, but is it really back on track? With these slimy aholes in office? What great thing are they gonna do next?

    Rand has a bit of a point: The Dems snuck in something extra in the spending bill that basically puts hemp farmers out of business.

    Why? I have no idea. That item should never have been in the bill.

    Of course it's back on track. On the same track it's been on for decades.

    I didn't know that but I see what you mean by "a bit of a point."

    But still, he's only doing half the job if he doesn't explain himself and the situation more. The public needs to know why Democrats had "reefer madness" just a couple years ago and why they now want to sabotage the growers.

    Why? I have no idea. That item should never have been in the bill.

    It's interesting. Usually they create a problem then offer a solution, but this time they're doing it backwards. Anthropologists should be studying it.

    But he wasn't correct in that we should continue to hurt thousands of people for the sake of a few - which can be corrected later.

    So only a "bit" of a point.

    If I understand correctly, the hemp ban was still ultimately included, so Rand's half-assed-hero move was still for nothing.

    I've noticed the RINO in him coming out more and more. He's probably the biggest faker of all the senate RINOs. I hope he doesn't run for president.

    Yes. The left is into experimentation, and they're experimenting with all kinds of things lately.

    The labor unions in my state are telling their members that "The socialist Democrats are the enemy" and that they "have to support the regular Democrats."

    Nice experiment. It will play out great for them as long as nobody asks any questions.

    You might end up with homeless sleeping and whatnot on the bus because it's free.

    I think because you have to pay to get on it you won't be subject to all the extra stuff that goes with it.

    SOLVE the problem, find work and good paying jobs rather than having a free for all to get votes.

    In 2030 the voters in NYC can consider that as an option, but it's ultimately up to the uniparty. Maybe they'll want to "fix problems they created." (They must be familiar with that by now.)

    I had to sign off, again, for a sex education class... I reveled some of my frustrations about this in front of Amanda...

    When I was in school sex ed was 1 period in grade 6... That pretty much covered it... you found out how babies are conceived and what you weren't told you could extrapolate the complete story.

    I think things have morphed from sex ed to some kind of gender ed. Where they aren't covering topics on reproduction but rather woke-gender stuff.

    Yup. But the old Democrats knew that they needed to strike a balance. Create some problems. Then create some solutions to "fix" those problems - but really it was to "contain" those problems. If they let the problems grow, people will quickly realize that they aren't fixing them and elect someone else.

    The new Democrats...er... Socialists just break stuff and tell you that they are going to fix them using Socialism - which has never fixed anything in history.

    In the case of Starbucks, the homeless were basically living there, smelling the place up, doing drugs in the bathrooms, and generally making the paying customers not go their for their fruu fruu coffee drinks.

    Same here. I think it was mainly because we were hitting puberty soon and needed to be told what was coming up. Surprisinly, I knew some families who thought that they could keep this all a secret from their kids.

    My parents gave us a set of books made for us to explain things further and then we had the talk about anything else. Ex: "You get a girl pregnant before you're married and we will kill you and bury your body in the backyard."

    But, due to our food, kids are hitting puberty much earlier.

    I think things have morphed from sex ed to some kind of gender ed.
    Where they aren't covering topics on reproduction but rather
    woke-gender stuff.

    Ya. It started with "your body is changing", then morphed to "here's the ways you can have safe sex", then "here's all the kinky things you can do". Now it's just messed up even worse.

    But that's always been their playbook: Small shifts toward their goal and by the time people notice, it's too late.

    The woke gender stuff starts even earlier here, and it's even embedded in our healthcare system.

    You can add the Roman Catholic Church to the list of woke organizations. I go to Catholic mass every week and it's getting worse and worse.

    They're trying to teach the parishioners to welcome illegal immigrants, to appreciate universities, and to donate to non-profit organizations. Church is not what it used to be, either.

    Speaking of which, we actually need to let them break stuff sometimes. Let them close down all the grocery stores so that they can dictate what people will eat for breakfast.

    Word travels fast throughout the USA (I think I am the original inventor of the Asian slanted vagina joke) and people will find out fast what it's like to have grocery stores with 3 or 4 different items for sale.

    If I recall the pope recently poked his head into the Transgender stuff.

    I understand sometimes the pope, and other religious leaders do ... The Bible came before the constitution.

    I understand if a church wasn't to feed people and what not. They need to stay the eph out of politics.

    If they are preaching the existence of God they'd be better off just telling their congregation to pray.

    Because, according to Christian belief, God answers prayers.
