Democrats Are Going to Shut Down the Government at Midnight
Schumer bucked radical Democrats' demands to shut the government down in March. Now, under threat of a primary by the flat-faced peasant whore Alexandria Donkey-Chompers, he's going to stop all government funding to force Trump to fund free health care for illegals.
It's really amazing. This insane strategy is being pushed by the Soros-funded "No Kings" protest group"Indivisible," which is an odd name as they do nothing but divide and create strife and agitate for civil war.
As you probably know, Trump has already telegraphed his response to a shut down. Usually during a shut down, "non-vital" bureaucrats are furloughed. This is a scam. They get a few weeks off from working, and then get paid their lost wages when government re-opens. Trump has a different plan. He will use the opportunity of a shut down to fire thousands of unneeded bureaucrats including very senior and power left-wing bureaucrats making $100-200,000 per year. The top of the Deep State command structure. UK's Sharia-Compliant State Media: Trump threatens "irreversible layoffs" -- that is, firings -- when the government shut down. They will not be "furloughed" and then paid later for a paid vacation. They will just be shitcanned forever.
A left-wing activist group that received millions of dollars from the Soros family's organization is spearheading a pressure campaign to push Democratic senators to vote against funding the government and force a partial shutdown. Indivisible -- the organization behind many of the recent "No Kings" protests and other demonstrations part of the so-called "resistance" against President Donald Trump -- has embarked on a recent effort to goad Senate Democrats to not come to a bipartisan funding agreement with their Republican colleagues and the president. The group's website currently hosts a form enabling people to easily contact their Democratic senators by phone, complete with a script of what to say. The group's non-tax-deductible entity, Indivisible Project, has received a total of $7.6 million in grants from the Soros' Open Society Foundations (OSF) over the past eight years, according to Indivisible's website. OSF is a grantmaking network which left-wing billionaire George Soros founded in 1993 and his son, Alexander Soros, currently chairs. "Federal government funding runs out on September 30 -- and Republicans need Democratic votes to clear the filibuster and avoid a government shutdown," Indivisible's form states. "Democrats have a strong hand to play. They must use it to deny Donald Trump the blank check Republicans want to hand him!"

Once his party decided to play brinkmanship (and not just pass this quietly 2-3 weeks ago), he had no out.
If he caved, his political career is over. And seeing the recent string of shootings, his life might be over. No way he'd give in, even when he knows it's the right long term move. He needs to show his own side the idiocy of doing this, or at least get some part of his side to come to his aid and give him cover.
I can't blame him. And I don't blame Rs for FINALLY staying strong. Instead, it's time for the Rs to sit down and forget a CR and pass budget bills over the course of the next couple months to bring back Gov as Rs want (and any that get D stonewall, in a omnibus bill they can pass 51-49 if necessary - won't get all our changes, but sounds like Trump is starting them alone anyway)...

There is an overpass on I-395 that the 'No Kings' group hang out at. It's a veritable display of 'What's Happening Now' syndrome. It's kind of sad. I think last week they had a huge sign that said 'EPSTEIN'. I didn't know that 'Welcome Back Kotter' character was so popular.

Maybe run it through the president's office or DOGE so they could strip out the cruft.
Then Congress could just approve, deny, or modify.

This isn't like March. Trump has now hired some of his people who support us. Just keep that in mind.

So, no, ICE doesn't go without pay.

There are multiple things working in Democrats’ favor here. Expanded ACA subsidies expire at the end of 2025. The One Big Beautiful Bill is closing rural hospitals. Medicaid work requirements and Medicaid cuts are coming. We could also be in a recession or stagflation soon due to the tariffs.
The administration is basically the terrorist holding a gun to the hostage’s head and saying “if you don’t give me what I want, I’ll shoot!” How on earth do they think they’re the good guy in this?
Let's hope there are some balls left in the Democratic party and that they didn't leave with Nancy Pelosi.
The media will blame "both sides" as though they are equally valid. "With the Republicans in control of all three branches, how did the Democrats drop the ball?"
I’ll take shutdown over trans people losing their healthcare. If one group gets stripped of their basic rights, we're all at risk.

Yup. Although it's still hard during Dem administrations too. As I've said repeatedly here, the problem is wage scale compression. The low skilled are overcompensated, and the highly skilled are undercompensated. You might not like what they're hired to do, but if you want competence in whatever it is, you've got to pay for it.

"Not getting rich" != "is not grossly overpaid."
The ones getting rich do it through fraud and theft, not their W-2 income, but that is beside the point.
If they are working against the interests of the American people, behaving like tyrants, lumbering about incompetently while eating their paychecks, etc., then they are overpaid.
I have no clue if Trump is going to fire them strategically or just wildly swing the ax. I hope it's the former, but any good ones that get let go (and there are decent people in the FedGov. There statistically have to be in a population that large) can be rehired. That's the Musk way. I know he isn't there any more, but he did build the DOGE practices.

I can't believe I didn't think they'd go with the shutdown. Of course they're going to go with the shutdown.

What usually happens is that the dems start with unreasonable demands which excites the base of both sides (Ds to fight for more, Rs to shut it down). Then they fake like the Rs won but actually the Ds end up with *more* than the initial ask.
They do this because Rs load up the pork for their projects on a one to one basis above the initial D demand. But that part is done quietly since both sides benefit and do not want the public to know.
There is no winning when the Rs are not on our side. Trump has to work with the congress we have and it is corrupt.

I wonder if the Dems are so stupid they think their phony TACO (Trump always chickens out) thing is actually real. If so, they are even dumber than I thought. Trump doesn't "chicken out", he may occasionally change his mind or give up on a strategy that isn't working. He is flexible, constantly working toward what he wants. Goals are the same, details change.
And seriously - during a shut down there is nothing preventing trump for wholesale firing of federal employees, even those with civil service protection. When he does that, are those let go people going to hate trump, or the dems more? I can't even imagine what the Dems are thinking right now.

My father was a great civil war student, and he thought the same - and he made an extra point which tracks. McClellan loved his army too much to risk it, so he was terrible on offense; but whenever he was thrown on the defensive, and had to react to an attack, the same impulse led him to be brilliant. So he was a wonderful defensive fighter, but incapable of offensive actions.

On June 18, 2025, former President Barack Obama warned that the United States is "dangerously close" to normalizing behavior consistent with autocracies. Speaking at an event in Hartford, Connecticut, he issued a veiled criticism of the Trump administration and expressed concerns over the erosion of democratic principles.

As is well known, the response to John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry was led by Robert E. Lee, commanding Marines because they were the only troops he could lay his hands on in short order.
But, at the Marine Corps Museum, they say that the counterattack on Brown was led by a Marine (probably the highest-ranking one present under Lee, I'm guessing, I've not seen the exhibit). Because the Corps will never admit that they were ever led into battle by an Army officer, even one of the Lee's stature.
That is VERY Marine.

For most of my life, I have been against scales. I think they are usually counterproductive in that usually you know what you want to look and feel like and can see progress that way. Weight is a poor measure of that.
But, a few months ago Insty was shilling for a scale deal on Amazon for one of the ones that does a detailed body make up.
Now, I knew at the time that I was overweight (as high as I had ever gotten) felt like crap and looked like shit. I was about 40 lbs over target.
The scale, with its diagnostic routine said I was not only 'morbidly obese' but in a separate category said my body type was 'chubby.' I still laugh my ass off. Fuck you too scale!

Late in the afternoon President Buchanan called out a detachment of U.S. Marines from the Washington Navy Yard, the only federal troops in the immediate area: 81 privates, 11 sergeants, 13 corporals, and 1 bugler, armed with seven howitzers.[79] The Marines left for Harper's Ferry on the regular 3:30 train, arriving about 10 PM.[4]: 564 [74] Israel Greene was in charge.
To command them Buchanan ordered Brevet Colonel[73]: xv Robert E. Lee, conveniently on leave at his home, just across the Potomac in Arlington, Virginia, to "repair" to Harpers Ferry,[73][80] where he arrived about 10 PM, on a special train.[4]: 564 [81] Lee had no uniform readily available, and wore civilian clothes.[4]:567 [82]
Israel Green was a Marine Officer at the time. He went South when the war started.

I thought of her when Hegseth was giving his marching orders to his Generals and Admirals this morning. She must have passed out cold in horror at the thought of women who want to be in combat roles having to ....gulp...actually having to qualify to male standards to be in those roles...faint. She was the one who sounded drunk and stupid questioning Kash Patel on why female FBI agents had to do one pull up and he was trying to explain that they had to chase down bad guys and had to be physically fit. The Hawaiin retard.

There are no major countries in Europe anymore. Possibly Poland. The rest are too fucked up or too broke to be strategically relevant. Let them recognize the moon as a country. It doesn't affect anything. No one lives by France's say so anymore.

Although Germany and England are in worse economic shape and have totally screwed their energy supply systems, France looks to be the one in the most severe long term trouble. The right and the left are each strong enough to neutralize each other, and the center (signified by Macron) has collapsed, with maybe 20% support left. They're probably closer to an actual civil war than anyone else in Europe.

Sure. His big advantage later is he could send those in his army out West and not deal with them again.
Lee was a good general himself on the operational level. Strategically most of his offensive operations were "stunts" that could not shift the strategic needle and wasted good troops.

At DLI, our PT tests were run by a SEAL. The final event was a run, which we had to complete in a certain amount of time. He hated it when we'd ask him what the time was, so, of course, someone always did. His usual response was, "I bet if I put a [Hostess] Hoho on the finish line [or sometimes 'a Ding Dong'] you fat asses would run fast enough."
Dude was hilarious. And a very fun and nice guy to hang out with. Gave me some good dietary tips when I was seriously trying to lose weight and get fit.

Macron sabotaged his coalition to keep LePen out of government. That's like throwing yourself out of the sled to keep ahead of the pursuing wolves.

Updated: July 8, 2025
Note: KFF now has a clean summary of the health care provisions in the 2025 federal budget reconciliation law as well as a separate implementation timeline highlighting key dates in the law.
This side-by-side comparison tool compares the health care provisions in the House-passed and Senate-passed 2025 budget reconciliation law to each other and prior law. The Senate-passed bill ultimately passed the House on July 3 and was signed into law by President Trump on July 4. The comparison is divided into four categories: Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). It also compares the provisions to a earlier draft of the bill passed by the House on May 22.

And like Trump, Grant was spending a lot of that time weeding out the absolute no-hoper leadership in the AoP along the way, and having some decent commanders like Warren wilt under the pressure. He had done well in the Fall 1863 campaign.
