A bit of scrutiny on that fund would be good. In fact it’s the senate doing the job we asked them to do.

Yet into the mix we throw a huge money pot with no published rules or guidelines for access. And we all know how well that goes when the government throws a find out there without some understanding of how it will be spent. Nobody in the senate understood the fund.

Oh, sure, KvC! Sure!

16 The Republicans, specifically the GOPe, still think that once Trump is gone they'll go back to the good old days of the uniparty . They'll work with their good friends across the aisle to get their cuts of everything they do.
Wrong. Your good friends are dying out or being pushed out by Marxists who want you and your families dead. Your only hope is try and cut the size of government along with Trump. That and hope the Dems immolate themselves

17 Now that the Senate is in recess, can’t Trump finger-fuck these cretins with all those recess appointments everyone was talking about a month or so ago? I don’t know the answer and too lazy to look it up.

18 @12 z Ace talked of physiognomy yesterday. I'm not a huge believer in it, but Platner just looks like he's not a good guy.

19 If senate is going into recess doesn't that mean that Trump can get a bunch of his candidates through as temporary appointments? I thought Thune refused to recess to spite Trump in that regard. It looks like to Thune friends are more important than party or country. Yep, he is pining to be primaried.

It will be nothing short of a miracle if I pack well and make the flight on Saturday. I plan a nap on the plane, and am not eating the breakfast they offer as that's the last thing I need to start a trip.

I am also behind in productivity. Even more behind than normal procrastination. My husband has said it does not matter so I will do the best I can.

It used to be when I went out of town the house was super clean in the event the plane crashed and my MIL had to help clean out our stuff. Now she's dead and I am slacking, but still like to come home to a clean house. Full of woe and the wrong day.

It went horribly because he was put into a position of explaining a program that exists only in title and a pot of allocated money. That’s untenable. There are usually weeks of discussion and something on paper that senators can look at and question. None of that is available. Zero. If I’m a senator I’m not signing off on that.

The personal information you have to provide to get your $75 is probably worth 10x that to the owners of the website when they sell your personal information to the highest bidder.

62 'Why is it that Dem Majority Leaders can grab their members by the balls and explain that there is no opposition and no contrary votes? And they all fall in line.'

Democrats want power. They vote in Politburo blocs to get and maintain it. Keeps cohesion.

GOPe Republicans want money. They cut deals to get it. Leads to fractioning.

63 There are usually weeks of discussion and something on paper that senators can look at and question. None of that is available. Zero. If I’m a senator I’m not signing off on that.

Members of Congress routinely sign off on massive bills which didn't see the light of day until 10 seconds before the vote. I'm not, for one shiny second, believing that they're just trying to be good stewards of the nation.

64 So he's tanking election integrity because he's a whiny little bitch?

Wow.

65 >>Why is it that Dem Majority Leaders can grab their members by the balls and explain that there is no opposition and no contrary votes? And they all fall in line.

They can. And you know what we got? Over a trillion in fraud in all the programs they rammed through.

Do we want to be in the position of defending any hijinx that happen with this fund? I wouldn’t. Especially if I just lobbed a vote over the wall to get home with no regulation or rules around disbursement.

66 What kind of brilliance does it take to come up with:

Now we're not going to pass the agenda that we were already not going to pass!

Oh gosh, you really stuck it to Trump with that, didn't you?

You went from "we're not going to pass it" to "we're really not going to pass it."

If Trump is so unpopular, how come every single one of his endorsements won yesterday?

Relative to Thune, I think I'd do an advertising deluge of the fact that he's never worked in the private sector in his life...and is your stereotypical polician who could care less about the average conservative. Everything Trump does includes a prep time acquiring leverage. I can't imagine he left Thune off that list.

My bro and I used to be very dramatic once we decided we'd live as GI bugs were rare. This is my 4th.

The one we had in 1976 was much more spectacular but brief. His updates for days were like this at our beach house for the Bicentennial: "I think I am better as I had one squirrel turd."

I'd laugh and tell him to shut up but he did this report for days.

I think this is why nothing Morons do here surprises me. I am immune due to my brother.

111 >> Sorry, not buying that anything in Congress has changed. The snakes are trying to wait out Trump, that's all.

I am unclear why this needed to be forced through now and included in this package.

Go away for a month. Develop rules and guidelines. At least allow the AAG the time to develop a response to the questions.

Trump had everything he wanted in the bill that was going to be passed. Take that big win. Move to the next.

I don’t oppose the fund btw. I oppose the way they are trying to stuff it through then making the senate the bad guy.

And they deserve it too. Just not on this one.

The constant 1g thrust trajectory is very passenger friendly. You've got earth gravity the whole time (until the midway turning point, where you have to shut off, turn around, and then decelerate at 1g). Makes things like space-toilets no problem (but have to be careful at that turning point).

The other little engineering and materials problem is on the journeys to the outer planets, like Uranus, your peak speed in between is going to get a bit high. Space dust and little particles are going to be problem colliding with you. Charged particles would be no problem. You've got a big ass EM field for your "pusher plate", so you can make your own magnetic shield. It's the neutral dust that would be a problem.

113 >>>Now that the Senate is in recess, can’t Trump finger-fuck these cretins with all those recess appointments everyone was talking about a month or so ago? I don’t know the answer and too lazy to look it up.

Not likely. They will hold pro forma sessions with the sole purpose of preventing President Trump from making recess appointments. They'll send someone to the chamber to gavel in and then 10 seconds later gavel out. McConnell did the same thing.

They went to arrest him and the left out the back door. 4th story or not, he did not jump 30 feet, but they try to make you think that so you don't ask -- who the fuck got paid to let this guy walk around and then leave before arrest?

127 A controversial game called Plantation Simulator has been released on Steam and is receiving huge backlash from people calling it a slavery simulator.

But the gameplay centers on a whipping mechanic applied to Black workers to increase productivity.

The developer has described it as:
“In this game, you will be whipping black people to keep your farm productive. If you whip your black person too much, they will die.”

In 6th grade we all had to run as fast as we could across the football field. I was the fastest with a boy I sort of liked. I was a dummy to let him win, but I did. Apparently not into women's lib.

After that I had crushes on various boys my diary said. No real boyfriends til college as my life was doomed (in reality I did not care as long as I had a book to read and it beat the drive in slobbering).

I can't believe I used to tell one guy who kept calling that I had to wash my hair. Poor dude. It did not help that my father gave him a nickname and would yell it up the stairs that he was on the phone. My life has been nothing but trauma.

I have sympathy for this position. But it requires I believe that Thune's reaction and the sudden concern about details is honestly arrived at.

Thune made a deal on the Save Act to save Cornyn. Thune broke the deal and figured Trump couldn't do anything about it
but accept it and see how the race in Texas played out. But despite a huge spending advantage Paxton appears to be in good shape there, so Trump decided its never a bad time to back a winner and also to stick it to Thune who broke his promise.

So now Thune is all butthurt and has decided we will feign fiscal concern, and give the Blanche a hard time.

For me to be with you I must believe that Thune is someone he is not. And I cannot do that. Thune would do well to realize what happened in Georgia Tuesday - Trump ripped the GOPe out of the Georgia GOP. The same can be done in South Dakota for a fraction of the cost.

178 Isn't Tuberville quitting?
He was a fine Senator and needs to be cloned.

I admit to not knowing who he was, but I once knew a lovely RN who died from a sinus infection.

Now they don't give you antibiotics til day 10 or wicked symptoms like high temps. They don't care what color it is. I know the current snot rules.

Age 19 I had sinus surgery from my roommate in college smoking cigs like a chimney. Leaving me chronically gross. I have "windows." So if I wanted to snort coke, which I never have, I reckon it would go straight to my brain.

I hope to never, ever, have to deal with that again and keep those windows clear of debris.

Nailed it. The hatred, animus, and genocidal death wish projected onto Trump is psychologically (and more and more overtly, see Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson for example) primarily aimed at us.

As MAE used to say: "They hate you and they want you dead."

200 Thune won his last Senate primary (2022) with 85K votes versus 24K votes for his opponent. A good, well-funded opponent could easily beat him in a primary in such a small state (population-wise). Door to door.

******************
I was simply naive in that dept by the time I met my bf/husband at 22yrs. I liked guys but there was nothing til college that struck me as mutual. I dated a few times & done. Four guys before my husband in college & for two of them once or twice.

One guy on our second date ended quickly because I blew up a gas oven trying to make dinner. That was no mystery as to why I never heard from him again.

I had great self-esteem but never liked anyone til a guy I met a year before my future husband. Lightning strike.

He unfortunately died of a rare cancer months later, before anything serious. I was working in the university health center. The FIRST time I felt like going out with someone and realizing I was not abnormal, and he felt ok when we met.

I knew whe he died but didn't see him after he was diagnosed. His decision,of which I am now thankful as I was starting nursing school in the middle of this.

There really is mutual chemistry sometimes. It hit me twice.

211 "You don't Trump immunizing himself and his family from IRS audits forever is a sign of corruption?! WTF else is it?! Most corrupt president in history. Including his entire family. Jesus."

Its not forever. Its for his tax returns in the past to the present. Who would sign an agreement where the next Dem president can re-open all your tax returns after a deal?

212 Would anyone here sign a "deal" with the government where the next Dem president could decide to go back over all your tax returns again?

J6 happened in 2021. 5 years ago. The outrageous prosecutions, denials of bail, and over-the-top sentences took place over the next 4 years, along with prosecutions and governmental slander and harassment of Trump, Flynn, Roger Stone, Carter Page, Rudy Guliani, and countless others. The McConnell/Thune Senate did nothing. Nothing at all. Now they bitch and moan because Trump figured out a way to go around them (using Obama legal precedent).
The Hell with Thune. I'm all in favor of Congress having power and control over the Executive. Use it for something other than feathering your own nests and stalling and I'm all in.
Also with AI they know exactly what is in the bill in minutes. Not an excuse anymore. (As if 4 years wasn't enough time).

Surprise! The DNC's "Autopsy" Is a Sham, a Deliberately Incomplete Document Left Unfinished Because Democrats Don't Dare Tell the Truth About Their Collapse

You don't need an autopsy to know why the Democrats lost in 2024. No one does.

The Democrats know as well. The problem is, they are beholden to their extreme left wing, and they're beholden to the extreme left wing because the extreme left wing in the majority of the Democrat Party.

Democrats now know -- if they didn't before -- that transgender "science" is a propaganda lie spun up by WPATH, an organization funded by J.B. Pritzker's transgender brother "Jennifer" Pritzker. It was never true that "gender affirming surgery" reduces suicide -- and multiple studies now prove that beyond doubt. It was never true that "gender affirming" "medicine" improves mental health or well-being.

And on top that: The politics of it are horrible. It's a 20-80 issue.

But the Democrats cannot admit this because the 20% that is gonzo for gay and transgender extremism is the core of the activist class.

Likewise, the Democrats know that Obama's and then Biden's open border policy is absolutely toxic political poison. It's another 20-80 issue.

But the Democrats cannot admit this because the 20% that supports the Great Replacement is the core of the most partisan Democrat voters.

And they know they foisted a brain-damaged demented fool and corrupt grafter on the country in the form of Joe Biden. But they can't admit that because most of the Democrat Party -- and the media -- is in legal jeopardy should the entirety of their massive conspiracy be revealed.

So the "autopsy" is a sham. They never bothered to complete it and left most the issues that actually caused the loss entirely unmentioned.

Not underplayed. Not under-analyzed.

Unmentioned entirely.

The only fake conclusion the sham "autopsy" is certain of...?

Democrats and their media allies didn't go negative enough on the man they claimed was Hitler on a mission to destroy America and resurrect the Third Reich.

Trump got off so easy you guys!

Live Updates: Democrats' Draft Report on 2024 Loss Reopens Political Wounds Ahead of Midterms

An incomplete examination of what went wrong for the Biden and Harris campaigns in 2024 was released after it had become an embarrassment for the Democratic National Committee.

The Democratic National Committee on Thursday released a draft of an autopsy of what went wrong in the 2024 presidential campaign, highlighting a series of failures and placing blame for Kamala Harris's defeat partly on former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s political operation.

...

The draft report, which is disorganized and leaves empty entire sections, blames both the Biden and Harris campaigns for failing to successfully drive a negative view of Mr. Trump. But it otherwise offers only vague or limited conclusions about the party's failings.

Mr. Martin had tapped a longtime ally, Paul Rivera, to oversee the creation of the autopsy. But Mr. Rivera's final product was "wasn't ready for prime time. Not even close," Mr. Martin wrote on Thursday. Atop each of the document's 192 pages is a bright red disclaimer that the D.N.C. "was not provided with the underlying sourcing, interviews, or supporting data for many of the assertions contained herein." (Mr. Rivera declined to comment.)

There is not a single mention of Mr. Biden's age, a regular concern of voters and Democratic officials throughout his presidency, nor of Israel and Gaza, an issue that dogged Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris in 2024 and has since fractured the party.

Still, it does include a number of revelations, including the conclusions of pollsters who found that a Trump ad attacking Ms. Harris for expressing support for taxpayer-funded surgery for transgender inmates had been highly effective.

So one single sub-issue regarding transgender extremism was mentioned. One specific issue about forcing taxpayers to pay for "transitions" of fucking criminals.

Limited conclusions: The draft report's findings were limited, often veering into political clichés and hard-to-follow explanations.

From 2020 to 2024, I documented Kamala Harris complaining a thousand times -- and leaking her complaint to the media anonymously -- that Biden had "failed to position her for success." This began, if I remember right, when he made her the Border Czar. He had failed to position her for success by giving her a tough assignment and not an easy one like making her the Black Women are Awesome Czar.

When she constantly embarrassed herself by being entirely unprepared at briefings and press appearances, she then blamed her staff for not adequately preparing her. Her staff, she complained to her media allies -- again as an anonymous source familiar with the Vice President's thoughts -- failed to position Kamala Harris for success.

Obviously she then complained throughout the campaign that Biden had Failed to Position Her for Success when he anointed her the new candidate.

I say all this because what key finding do you think made it into the sham autopsy?

But it argues that Mr. Biden's team failed to position Ms. Harris for success in the race after it became clear she would be the party's nominee and relied too heavily on an assumption that voters would reject Mr. Trump without making a sufficiently strong case for the vice president.

Biden called Trump Hitler in a nationally televised address, ranting while bathed in blood-red light.

Was that too subtle for the alcoholic and barren Coconut Kamala?

Again, we see that the sham autopsy refuses to find fault with Kamala Harris, too. She didn't lose. She just wasn't positioned for success by White Men.

This is her narrative, one that she's pissed into the media for four years.

And then it babbles about -- get this -- messaging.

Failed strategy: The Harris campaign's inability to diminish Mr. Trump's standing with voters was a "major failure," the report said. It suggested the Harris campaign should have been able to "remind voters of his incompetence," and found that a Trump campaign ad showing Ms. Harris expressing support for taxpayer-funded transition surgeries for transgender inmates had been particularly effective.

Midterm worries: Findings from the most recent New York Times/Siena poll underscore the concerns raised in the report that Democrats did not effectively make their case against Mr. Trump in 2024. Nearly 60 percent of Democratic supporters in the Times/Siena poll said they were not satisfied with how much the party was fighting back against Mr. Trump.

"This report is so stupid," say Democrats.

Democrats "have proven incapable of projecting strength, unity, and leadership, and voters have drifted away," Democratic strategist Paul Rivera, who authored the report but is not mentioned in the published version, writes. The autopsy was first released by CNN and shortly after published by the DNC.

The incomplete report doesn't mention a number of key issues that continue to dog the Democratic Party, including the issue of the war in Gaza. In 192 pages, it sparsely touches on former President Joe Biden's decision to drop out.

It also appears to lack any formal conclusions about what went wrong.

Both the report and the process drew immediate, scathing criticism from prominent Democrats.

...

"It feels like what the DNC is doing is cherry-picking the parts of it that it wants to actually release, that [are] less problematic for the party going forward, because most of the stuff that we're reading right now is ... not groundbreaking."

...

"The report's so stupid, it's hard to make sense why something's in there and why it's not," another senior Democratic operative close to the process who was granted anonymity to speak candidly told POLITICO in an interview.
