Washington Post: Oh No! Republicans Who Control The House Due to a Majority of the Nation Voting For Them Are Excercising the Power the Citizens Want Them to Have!

And can you believe it?! They're using the power the majority of voters gave them to do what the majority of voters want them to do, which is defunding the left's drunken-sailor spending on woke totalitarianism!

crymoargroomers.jpg

Since last year's elections, Republican lawmakers increasingly have seized on the power of the federal purse, coupling their crusade for austerity with a fierce push to advance a conservative social agenda. At the height of the annual appropriations process -- as members of Congress race to fund the government and avert a shutdown -- the GOP's far-right flank has scrubbed spending bills to eliminate money that would protect LGBTQ rights, ensure gender equality and promote racial justice.

Cry moar, groomer scum.

We'll see if that actually happens, though. You know FJB will just order the Treasury department to spin up the printers into overdrive so that all those groups get their funding. Oh, and The Big Guy gets 10%. Or else.

Sadly, this momentous occasion appeared to go unmarked here at the AoSHQ.

Fortunately, perennial Horde favorite Mitt "Delecto" Romney (R-UT) was there for us.

“Well, as you all know, today is National Hot Dog Day, and perhaps you also know that hot dog is my favorite meat. I love hot dogs.

I love them in buns. I love them outside of buns. I love them with baked beans. I just like hot dogs. It’s the best, you know, best meat there is, without question.

So to all of you like me who are celebrating National Hot Dog Day, congratulations to you, and may there be many, many more hot dogs served in our wonderful land.”

84 I didn't get here in time to comment on the post about the pedo writing for Bloomberg, but I would like to get my two cents in here.

We on the Right tend to think that the truth will set us free. That once we reveal the true vileness of the Left, that people will reject them.

That's a load of horseshit. Once pedophilia is normalized, most people will accept it.

So what needs to happen now is for governors to give pardons for people who kill pedophiles. Preferably those like Noah Berlatsky or Scott Weiner who support it as well.

Note that the pardon would only be for murdering the.pedophiles. Kill a pedophile while you are robbing a bank, you are still going to prison for bank robbery.

Ron DeSantis might even be able to help his stalling campaign. Greg Abbott would probably follow suit. And we could probably make the pardons popular enough that Democrat governors would be on the defensive for not giving them.

102 The Davis-Bacon Act:

The Depression-era Davis-Bacon Act requires companies contracting with the federal government to pay "prevailing wages" -- meaning union-scale -- to their workers. Meant to protect unionized contractors from lower-cost competitors, the Act's ulterior motive was to discriminate against contractors using non-union workers -- frequently minorities. Ending this competition-stifling measure would save taxpayers nearly $9 billion over five years.

I'm sure they also bitch, constantly, about how they can't hire great craftsmen at the price they prefer, rather than the price the general market demands. My old man always makes the same bitch, in reverse, because Ford won't sell him the truck he wants at the price he prefers.

Here's the ugly truth about public projects. There is a shit pot of graft and waste involved. Usually around 1/3 to 1/2 more than a comparable commercial project. But get this - it's not because of that evil Union guy driving nails or fitting pipes. And it's not entirely because of bribes either, although bribes are involved.

There is a cost - a huge compliance cost - in doing any municipal project. Extra inspectors. Extra regulators. Just more extra.

166 "Son = God

By the transitive property and the Trinity, that means
Son = Father"

The "pedestrian understanding" is what makes you drop a turd on someone's faith and act like you're clever for it.

It is, though, ultimately, something you either accept or don't. There are a million ways of arguing one way or another, and two millenia worth of assholes have used it as an excuse to kill each other. But you'll never "prove" the Trinity any more than you'll prove your own existence.

If Calvary was an atonement of Adam's sin, then all of adequate worth that could be sacrificed is The Lord Himself. If He is Immortal and Eternal, that can't be done. So if you were going to come up with a state of affairs where God could give Himself as a sacrifice, something like this Three-but-Still-One-but-Also-Three deal is probably what the solution would have to look like. And it's native to expect it to make sense within the framework and logic of this goofy four-ball energy field we got shoved into.

I did come out a bit hot. I apologize.

I have been more than a bit put out by people here claiming my belief in Jesus Christ's divinity and sacrifice and attempting to follow Jesus' example don't make me Christian and the fact I don't believe the Son and the Father are exactly the same being means I'm something completely unworthy of the name of Christ.

232 Now, given that the Son and the Father are the same being, how can the Father know something the Son does not?

My understanding is that the Triune God (one entity) exists in three distinct Persons (all equally God).

If you are serious about this question - a study of the Trinity should help answer your question.

We are told that Jesus grew in wisdom, which indicates that when He became man, He chose to understand and grow as a man.

234 Now, given that the Son and the Father are the same being, how can the Father know something the Son does not? How does a non-pedestrian understanding of the Trinity resolve this conundrum?

I believe that it is foolish to try to rationalize that Christ would never know being that He is eternal and omniscient. Being outside time, He sees the end from the beginning.

The temporalness of the situation would be that the office appointed to Him by the Father also made knowing that time to not belong to Him. He did not say that it is not in His power, but He had not been sent by the Father with this commission, so long as he dwelled among mortals. Jesus' gig was to be Mediator until He discharged His office that information was not given to Him. It was after the resurrection where He expressedly declared that power (Matthew 28:1

You really can't enforce it now though. Davis Bacon is a labor cartelization scheme and like all such schemes, it strives to produce the least quality product for the greatest profit to the investors. Sorry about your building falling apart in a decade, too bad. It is repairable under the same Davis Bacon rules.

240 I'd agree with you but I've seen how fucked up most public building projects come out. SO NO. It is a very bad process. What construction union are you in?

None. Self-employed technician. Self-reformed former project manager and engineer. I chose to make less money to make a more honest living.

It still boggles my mind, Union or not, that more bridges do not fall, schools catch on fire, or roofs leak. Because Union or Non-Union, it's the wild west when it comes to any construction project.

So again, given all that, do you want the guy actually pouring the concrete to make more or less ? I assure you, the cost at the end is going to be the same either way. Savvy firms - which are all of them - know the budget ahead of time and bid right up to the line. As they should.

I think both sides were wrong because they were using their own understanding and not soliciting Divine Revelation.

I have bid and won government contracts to make machines for the government from NASA to DOD. They don't work the way Davis-Beacon does. No, you make sure you comply with all of the specifications in your bid or take exception (which might lose the bid but rarely) and they pick the lower priced option. Then if you fail to deliver to specification you are on the hook for fixing it. But I guess construction projects are different because.... well Because!

It makes no difference. In 2008 I was working to resolve wage claims by contract labor that realized they were getting stiffed on a construction project. They finished the work but over time and what they got as a flat payment was not sufficient even for minimum wage. They were Mexicans who had their own tools and one of the guys could read blueprints. When sorted out, the prime contractor had hired a subcontractor, who was so busy he hired a subcontractor, who was busy so he hired a sub contractor got the gaggle of minimum talent Mexicans as 1099 employees.

Granted when we got through to the Prime he solved it in a day and I bet those asschewings were impressive.

Hell, no I didn't. I had mouths to feed.

But that doesn't make it a smart law. As you pointed out, my boss had to quote those city jobs at a third higher, because of all the insane regulations and wage distortions. His daughter basically had a full-time job, figuring which dudes were on city jobs, inside or outside, what season of the year, etc.

It really was a ripoff for him. At some point, a lot of guys just stop taking the city jobs. He really couldn't, because he was running a different scam involving the city, and couldn't say no.

But that's how it works. Scammers get the city biz. And I still like this guy. No gripes about how he treated me. But he was running a game.

Sure have.

I strongly believe God the Son and God the Father are distinct beings as to the flesh and one in the same in purpose, direction, opinion, etc. One in spirit, so to speak.

The usual fast retort to this is to claim that makes me a polytheist. I don't agree. I worship God. I pray to God in Jesus' name. Jesus prayed to God that the Apostles be made one the way Son and Father are one. I don't believe He was asking God to make the Apostles "consubstantial" with each other. I believe He was asking for them to be spiritually one as Son and Father are.

And therein lies at least part of the problem. A public job is not going to be efficient, by definition. Because the customers are pretty close to infinite. It's not a one to one negotiation.

I'm not arguing that Davis-Bacon is great. I'm arguing that the problem is Public Projects. Public Projects won't suddenly get efficient just from eliminating Davis-Bacon.

But labor will be cheaper. And that's a constant cry from certain Rock Ribbed Republicans. The same folks, like Nurse, that just can't figure out why more working class folks won't pull the R lever on election day. It's a real mystery, for sure.
