Oh so you're an anarchist? Thanks for letting me know your opinion is irrelevant.
wut, none of those things existed in the past and yet the federal state still existed. Not an anarchist

Most states have their own equivalents to every three letter agency as well

We have an army, national guard, a federal marshal service. Why does the country need a gazillion paramilitaries which are sometimes literally at odds with each other
 
You realize the shutdown is affecting servicemen, BOP officers and Federal LEO like ICE, CBP and DEA agents right?
"Just eat at the mess hall" - works if you're a single grunt like I was. You can't take your wife and kids to the mess hall (I believe you actually can but you have to pay for them) I literally never saw it.
That certainly sounds like a tragedy. One that could be avoided if the left weren't demanding government funds for Medicaid and other welfare for illegals.

DFAC is dirt cheap. You can save money by eating there and loading up on sides and use that extra cash for groceries or moving into the funny money account.
Broke barracks rats were always a site to behold but another one was just people popping out kids like crazy (to avoid deployments) with an E3-E4 salary.

Either way Democrats should stop holding everybody hostage over gibz me dats for illegals.

The next military and federal payday is October 15th. Literally nothing has happened.

It really is a 100% DNC blame shutdown at this point. The GOP even offered to extend the already extended healthcare bullshit to keep things moving but Count Jewcula and Temu Obama refused.

This is all on the DNC.

@Stupor Mario He has really turned into a tremendous faggot and needs to be primaried.
 
Man oh man, it is exceptional scrolling through this thread now; don't have to scroll through endless pages to get to US News. I understand why Null likes to curate his Twitter feed now. The DNC are going to dig their heels in and try to "filibuster" this shut down; drag it out as long as possible at the expense of the disposable American Population. Well Disposable in the eyes of an Establishment Democrat.

Edit:
Establishment Politicians.

It's even funnier watching what happens when they get caught pawning equipment thinking they won't get caught before next payroll. Regardless, safety critical jobs like the BoP aren't getting these bennies and aren't getting paid.
 
Massie and his late wife did go to MIT, but they went there decades ago back when it was actually possible for a smart kid from middle America to attend.

MIT has been mediocre for decades at this point because they’ve been rejecting actual smart kids, which Trump’s consent decree (that the school rejected) is trying to fix. I still remember the MIT recruiter bragging to high-school me about them rejecting a kid who built a nuclear reactor. She was trying to say that “you don’t have to be that smart to get in, we rejected him and admitted plenty of stupider people”, but it came across as “we don’t want the best and the brightest”.

We don’t have any truly elite universities anymore. The smart kids are scattered across hundreds of different state schools, not concentrated in one spot.
 
So, I think this qualifies as US politics related, but I am not a finance/markets guy. Everybody's been screaming on X.com about yesterday's crypto currency bloodbath. Some are saying that some accounts opened yesterday, swooped in and made a killing. Anybody here have any light to shed on the subject?

I thought it was the Chinese sperging out and liquidating because of the trade war escalation.
I guess someone else with inside knowledge of something decided to make money on the way down.
 
Interesting study, but are they females or "females" in it?
I have anecdotal evidence to support the study with actual women gamers. One instance was even a tranny losing his shit at the wife of the guy who was running our modded Deep Rock Galactic game night because things were getting difficult. All she was doing was tunelessly humming while doing Gunner things to bugs and between her being damned good and charmingly, effortlessly ladylike the tranny lost his goddamned mind.

All i know is literally every single exchange went down at the exact same time the height of the crash for like an hour so normal plebs conveniently couldn't buy the dip.
 
I'm fine with them doing this, but they better not try to beg for visas or federal dollars after doing it. Title IX ties public federal, state, and local funding for schools to compliance. The real reason they're doing this is probably the Foreign Student Clause. I imagine they're at at around 35% to 50% foreign students, and it's evenly split between China and India. Their enrolment profits would probably be cut in half if they were only permitted to have 5% of their school be Scamming Jeets and another 5% be CCP spies.
Trump should just issue them zero student visas next year.
