Get ready for a new government shutdown record. Senate Republicucks are voting with the Democrats to reject it Democrats primarily over DHS funding. Republicans probably have their own reasons except for the usual traitors like Turtle man, Alaska cunt, and the lolbert.
Vote failed 45-55

Mind you the democrats literally wrote that bill and have basically been given everything they want and more.

The wider context is about an unaging elf who is super autistic seeing the long term effects of her life on humans, and how small acts of heroism and bravery can reverberate through generations. It has, for the most part, a maturity of its view you don't find in popular shonen anime. As other mentioned, there are some episodes and points that focus more on action and adventure, but even those have some underlying angles and depth for the characters that might surprise you.

The primary antagonists are demons, and yeah, every time they show up they are irredeemably evil and manipulative.



Its pretty standard among most CC carriers now to have at least one magazine to spare. It all comes down to practicality, if you're a small person in summer you might not be able to conceal the extra magazine. For most people in most settings, though, an extra magazine or two is hardly an issue. Better to have more bullets than you need than the converse....

Maybe if you got a fancy holster, but from what i've seen the holster is just for the gun and that's it (possibly a mag holder with an expensive one)unless you mean stuffing one in a pocket.

I thought funding for DHS/ICE was already secured when the BBB passed?

ICE and Border Patrol have their money though I'm not sure about payroll. The other portions of DHS like the Coast Guard are going to starve.

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura suggests his state secede U.S., join Canada

Well, I now take back what I said about Ventura weeks ago. He's just as much of a feckless know-nothing as all the subsequent governors of that godforsaken state.

No, CR is set to expire for groups like DHS and ICE. They did receive a boost with the BBB for the year 2025 but it has to be voted on again. This makes the ICE ads on the front page of this forum doubly funny since it seems like ICE won't get the same amount it did last year.

I could have phrased that better. What I’m trying to say is that if Columbia occurred now, the left (and groypers I presume) would be happy that the Israeli on board died. I would not be happy nor would I think that being happy about it is morally correct.

There's an old Israeli cartoon called MK22 that I remember watching and on the very first episode they had an entire subplot about how Israeli kept on sending up astronauts and how they all keep dying in funny accidents. This was released in 2006, 3 years after the accident.

Is it s based as it sounds? Not an anime aficionado, but after several recent showings of "Immigrants just want a better life!" I just wanna see something that goes "These people are actively, unashamedly trying to break you with pictures of crying children"

No "Both sides are bad", no "...Some of them are good, though!" Just pure, outright "Fuck these people". If it's like that i'll watch it right away.

It is honestly, and just a good show in general. The demons are actually evil, no bullshit sob story, that is just how they are and they have to be destroyed

Again, did anyone have any problems from that ACA thing they shut things down for for a month or 2 and it ended up expiring anyway?

The gov could shut down entirely except defense and boomer SSA and I swear nobody would notice or care.

If Democrats want to be blamed for this other shutdown too, that's fine with me.

The bold headlines:



The less impressive details:





The safest of safe blue districts got a 12% margin increase with a 73% decrease in voters. Such amazing energy.



Truly the start of a blue wave there

Yes one time they 'aborted to orbit'. I don't think the abort back to pad would've worked. I think most knew that any abort with engines running was either orbit or nothing mostly. I know they had those europe strips and after SRB sep that would be the option.

I'm going to be holding my breath on this until SRB sep for sure. Those are always the iffy parts on these. But Orion has a good full backup from soon after launch until orbit.

After that the stressful part will be if they got the heat shield fully worked out now.

I remember they said the odds were around 1/100 per launch. Ended up breaking that a bit, 2 fails out of 135. Was a grinder, but pushed limits.

SLS probably has far better odds, but will never be over a dozen launches. Musk needs to put his fricking 500b into making Starship reliable and working right.

at least with the capsule they have the launch escape system that would pull it away from the stack if the SRBs detonate. The Challenger crew survived the explosion and were performing their emergency actions and so on all the way down to the ocean.

If the (D)s throw a fit and shut down the government, ICE has a chance to do something really funny.

Continue to work. Deport harder than you’ve ever deported before. Institute Total Bulbhead Deportation (TBD, if you will). Throw in a few street-shitting pajeets in for good measure.

Do it for zero pay and get on every social media platform and proudly declare that you’ll work for free as a patriotic American proudly doing your duty by rounding up every scamming illegal alien and drop kicking every crybully limousine liberal that tries to stop you.

Do it for your country. Do it for America. It also basically robs the Democratic Party of an opportunity to exploit the situation for political capital.

The government employs a lot of people, but I'm all for even more people being homeless so more awareness is brought to how corporate interests are strangling this country to death.

Does it end ICE? If no, then it does not give them what they want. Literally nothing else matters for them. They'll have to answer to their radical voters who will work like demons to dislodge them from power if they vote to fund ICE anymore than they have. It can never be overstated how damaging the killings of Good, and Pretti have been for the far left.

If you’re in a situation where you need a gun, a pair of Chuck Taylors won’t do shit to save your life!

Stephen Colbert: “Do not compare ICE or Border Patrol agents to the Nazis. That’s an unfair comparison. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.”

Exactly, despite the fact that Homan just confirmed all illegals are still eligible for deportation.

Ironic for a Frieren post.

Learn from /ourgirl/. Never attribute lib behavior to ideology (or any kind of ideas). They don't have any.

Chuds love Frieren and it's from Japan, chud-beloved land of the squint-chuds. It's human, so it's their enemy.

The Frieren demon quote of "Words are just a vehicle we use to manipulate humans" is genuinely how Marxists operate.

ICE didn't shut down during the last shutdown. What makes you think they will during this coming one?
