Okay apparently Chuckie was in NYC instead of DC.

If Mike Johnson is right about Chuck's motivations for keeping the shutdown going this time around (wanting to be seen by his constituents as Doing Something, in order to hold off a primary challenge by AOC), I guess this makes sense.
Schumer has been in politics since 1975. If he hates kings so much maybe he should fuck off.

Seeing patterns and conspiracies where there aren't any is a very common symptom of schizophrenia, you might want to get tested.
Yeah, but the inability to recognize patterns is also synonymous with low IQ. You might want to get tested.
 
Anyone who takes him seriously after this is shouldn't be allowed to decide what clothing to wear in the morning much less anything important.

No one takes him seriously anymore.

It's too early for that. Those burnout losers haven't crawled out of bed yet.
Did anyone ever take him seriously? He’s only famous for being the star of a boring Disney show that was created as an excuse for teacher to show their content in school so they could get out of having to teach science. He has no credentials whatsoever and wasn’t even entertaining when he was supposed to be
 
Also look at this guy
That dude is clearly mentally disabled. It is pretty fucked up for someone to abuse him like this but...the left.

I like that Schumer is out there holding a "Fix the Health Care Crisis" like his party did not create it and their only suggested solution is giving illegals infinite health bucks which will only have the effect of making everything worse.
 
That's the thing that, while I'm glad that it is the case, it makes me want to ask them: "Ok, so now what?".

There is never a plan of action with these people. It's just endless variations of "do better".
It’s the same problem as the previous march and the women’s march. The whole plan is march on a weekend day and….that’s it.

If you genuinely can't see the difference between "hmm most violent crime seems to be committed by a particular race"

And

"This man's tie is a certain color thefore Russian spies must be hiding in my toilet tank as part of the international bolshevik conspiracy to steal my penis."

Then you are beyond all hope and need to be placed in a group home before you start eating glass or playing in traffic.

Cyclists also pay zero of the fees the rest of us do to fund upkeep of the roads and their precious bike lanes (vehicle registration fees, fuel taxes, etc).
What? They pay state, local (if any), and fed income taxes (assuming they earn enough to be taxed) and sales tax. They also pay property taxes if a homeowner. Also, most cyclists also own cars, and therefore are subject to registration and other car-buying fees like anyone else. Same for gas. They just maybe - if they cycle for their commute, errands, etc. - use the major roads that their taxes pay for less than car commuters. In addition, in many states the registration/ title/ license/ plates fees go primarily to pay for the DMV organization itself; some states also use it for road/ infrastructure upkeep - so in many places not paying purchase/ registration fees doesn't impact the roads, anyway.

Further, if you have trails, which improve community QOL in general, if they are open to bikes, they are almost always multi-use - for cyclists, walkers, joggers, Rollerbladers/ rollerskaters (if paved), and in some places, skiers in the winter (unpaved). None of whom pay per use (in most areas).

BIKE MAN BAD
 
Funny thing is you still have bikers on the streets even when these markings aren't there. It's not just adults too, its kids that don't even stay on a straight line, they swerve all over the place. It's like they all think they own the road and forgot cars exist
I had a cyclist swerve all over in front of me when I tried to pass him up to be out of his way, and I always suspected it was deliberate because he tried to road rage me at the next red light. I was far enough back at that moment to simply turn away from him and take a different way home.

It grinds my gears when cyclists claim drivers don't respect them (a legitimate gripe) but ride their bicycles in a manner inconsistent with the rules of the road. It's ironic that the chevrons (») in roads without bike lanes are called sharrows but it's usually the cyclists that don't ride like they want to share the road.

At the risk of stepping on @The Last Stand's toes, I don't get it. (I know about "grab them by the pussy," I don't know what a "neussy" refers to.)
I think it's a bad attempt at punnery with Trump's "Grab them by the pussy," quote. Men's neckties are sometimes referred to as nooses, so "neussy" seems to a hybrid of "noose + pussy" to suggest Trump should be hung by his necktie.

cause he knew even before being sworn in again that every move he makes to break the deep state and the Soros left's machine was going to be scrutinized for ways to stop him, and fought to the limit where there is no legitimate way to stop it.
Trump seemed to be prepared for the legal shenanigans even during the 2024 campaign. From what was reported here and in the media, he had a team of lawyers filing stuff across the country in lead-up to the election to cut down on the amount of Election Day chicanery that might take place. He seems more methodic this term and more willing to try to do things that will better withstand the expected lawfare from opponents.

My local paid protest is pretty sad. About 10-15 dumpy retirees in a parking lot, slowly milling aimlessly around some parked cars. Getting all soggy in the rain with their pre-made signs.

Hilariously they're right next to Burger King.
Although, I didn't pass by any protests while running today's errands, the local radio station reported how the protests in surrounding cities apparently staggered their start and finish times to make it easier for people to go from one protest to another. A persona being interviewed by the station boasted about his intention to protest at three different sites today.

I suspect the protests in this area - and possibly others across the country - aren't attracting enough people for organizers, so they've staggered the times in surrounding communities to allow the serial protestors to attend multiple sites in an effort to artificially inflate their numbers and make it look like more people dislike Trump than what's really the case. It's easy to say there were 500 protestors each at sites A, B, and C while not disclosing some people protested in more than one site which would make the number of distinct protestors significantly less. I also suspect this is why we aren't seeing any wide-angle or overhead shots of these protests.
 
He has a Bachelor's in mechanical engineering. And a bunch of honorary doctorates he never earned, just for pretending to be a scientist on a kids' show.
not just _A_ kids' show
he pretended to be one for the science segments of the Back To The Future cartoon, and as a street performer at EPCOT Center too

I’ll never understand the point of honorary degrees. They can’t be used as a real credential and the people who are presented them nearly never flex them.
I get that they’re mainly just there to get a celebrity to endorse the school, but it’s seriously a dumb practice
