MAGA is fawning over Erika Kirk right now, but there's no way she can keep Charlie's audience.
His bread and butter was sexualized humiliation of college girls — more "Girls Gone Wild" than doing politics the "right way."

I don't believe I've ever read that Strip Debate was Charlie thing.

Seriously though, this is the retardation you get from the Left when you treat college women and their views and opinions just as seriously as you would a man's and argue with them just as seriously and friendly as you would with a man.

121 The White House budget office has instructed federal agencies to prepare to fire a ton of people (aka 'reduction-in-force' plans) that could permanently eliminate jobs in the event of a government shutdown - the latest twist in the latest shutdown groundhog day - effectively challenging Democrats to a game of chicken.

This is exactly what you would expect a president to do if he wanted to cut the budget.

The Dems will be playing with fire if in fact they shut the government down because Trump 2.0 isn't Trump 1.0 let alone Shrub

Don't expect leftists ever to have a standard for their behavior other than expediency toward their will to power.

Nowadays, there are no principled leftists in any sort of power. Instead, they propose to create their utopia like Pol Pot, over the crushed bodies of their opponents.

And to that end, they will do or say anything, much like Muslims, to be able to execute that plan in the future.

Dems in office act like Ireland's Sinn Fein party denying any connection to direct violence while under the table collaborating with the Provo direct action folks (antifa among others).

From a memo from the OMB:

"With respect to those Federal programs whose funding would lapse and which are otherwise unfunded,
such programs are no longer statutorily required to be carried out. Therefore, consistent with
applicable law, including the requirements of 5 C.F.R. part 351, agencies are directed to use this
opportunity to consider Reduction in Force (RIF) notices for all employees in programs, projects, or
activities (PPAs) that satisfy all three of the following conditions: (1) discretionary funding lapses on
October 1, 2025; (2) another source of funding, such as H.R. 1 (Public Law 119-21) is not currently
available; and (3) the PPA is not consistent with the President’s priorities"

Schumer's staff can read that memo just as well as I can.

The shutdown won't happen.

He'll take a bad news cycle for himself rather than the federal government losing a few hundred thousand employees...which will be blamed on him.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, in a world of gods and monsters with James Whale at September 25, 2025 10:12 AM (GBKbO)

I think it happens - he'll call Trump's possible bluff and either win VA for Dems (which is looking iffier than expected) with a shutdown or get Trump to back down.

He doesn't care about anything but himself, so Schumer won't take the loss without a whole bunch of someones joining him...and that doesn't look likely yet.

Essentially they want to replicate the Russian and French Revolutions that started in urban areas it appears. But the weird Cellphone/Sim server combo in an abandoned apartment in NYC serves to tell us that they may have alternative comms in collaboration with a foreign power like Russia, China, or Iran.

Apparently Secret Service was investigating swatting attacks on MTG and others and stumbled across this as the means of which it was done.

Unknown how many other such cellular network timebombs and alternative server locations are around for leftist's and/or foreign nations' purposes.

Weird shit indeed.

It would be short term messaging, quickly forgotten because people care about job losses in DC as much as they care about job losses from a plant in a town they've never heard of in a state they've never visited, and long term tactical, strategic, and material loss in the ability to launder fed funds, through salaries, back into the Democrat Party.

The ex-Guv workers will vote Dim as always more than likely, because they'll want to have their jobs back if the Dims win.

But, I believe the Dims need to have something to support their portrait of Trump as a "danger to us all". This would be a big one that people wouldn't forget because the MSM would run sad stories every night until the election while ignoring the latest conservative shot by a Democrat.

Dahlov Ipcar, Nov. 1917 - Feb. 2017

My, that's a huge colt!

I had no idea who the artist was until I looked up her body of work. She was author and illustrator for a lot of children's books: I like Animals, 1960; Stripes and Spots, 1961, The Night of the Cat, 1969, etc. (They're still available!)

I remember spending a dollar or two in the early 1970's to order several of her wild setting prints by mail so I could put them into cheap, wall mounted picture frames. (I must check my Grandmother's cedar chest in the basement to see if they're still in storage.)

I don't think the additional motivation is worth as much as those $$$ they will lose.

Yes. The left started a war on a number of layers - including government taxing and spending power.

We need to respond in kind. All cuts should be targeted at money that goes towards left leaning groups along with all new taxes and fees.

That has got to be the dumbest assumed name ever. Two illiteracies in one name. The only thing that could make it worse is if she'd spelled "Megan" as "Meegunn" or something.

1) "Thee" is a completely different word. It has no relation to "the", even in cases where it's pronounced like "thee", which it isn't in this case. Given that "stallion" starts with a consonant, "the" is pronounced "thuh". Moron.

2) A stallion is an intact male horse, you stupid bint. You are a fat human female.

that's odd. when i first looked at the art, i thought of a book i read back in 1st grade or so. no longer remember much about it, but the illustrations were in a similar style. the bit of the book that still sticks in my mind involves a dog that spins round and round until he disappears.

I agree, regardless of Schumer's thoughts or plans.

This is the moment to kick them when they're down and keep kicking them.

Take away their access to easy money a go after the funders of violence, riots, etc with RICO and throw them in jail if convicted.

Also, find out who the foreign rich are supporting antifa, BLM and the like and go after them as terrorists.

This moment is unlikely to come again if it's wasted.

272 It also needs to be noted that the central thing that Schumer is arguing for is healthcare for illegals.

Not in some veiled way, but in an explicit way.

It's obviously designed to fail, Schumer's bluster. He's playing to the far left. There's no way the GOP undoes the one welfare reform in the last 20 years that happened in the OBBB through a temporary stopgap spending measure.

I spent a summer on a project reading extensively first person accounts of the dismal political history of the 1850's including the secession conventions. And I see the same deluded thinking that the fireeaters had in ramming through secession. But, where they had a weak Buchanan as president and an inexperienced Lincoln, the Dems have an experienced Trump as president.

Had someone like Andy Jackson been in place as president from 1856 to 1864, the ACW would probably not have happened.

The only reason people think the 2013 shutdown really hurt Republicans is because Obama made it as painful and visual as possible for the American public.
