now, let me explain this losing hand that Republicans are holding. this whole shutdown is over Affordable Care Act tax credits. yes, I know — I started drifting off to sleep while typing those words — but hear me out. the tax credits are a big part of keeping the Affordable Care Act, y’know, affordable. these tax credits, however, have been shitcanned as per the legislation known as Donny’s Big Fucked-Up Give-Away To Billionaires™, and they’re going fuckity-bye at the end of this year. Democrats were all ‘restore those credits, or we’ll allow the government to shut down,’ and Republicans were all ‘ha ha, Democrats, eat an entire bowl of fuck.’ so, here we are, in Day Seven of the Stupidest Shutdown Ever — a shutdown, but with morons.

MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING "THANK YOU JEFF TIEDRICH" (ME!), FOR EXPLAINING HOW REPUBLICANS ARE WALKING INTO A SHUTDOWN SHITBLIZZARD OF THEIR OWN MAKING. SPOILER ALERT: BECAUSE THEY ARE "DUMBFUCKS." THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO READING MY "TREMENDOUS" POST. HERE IS THE LINK: bit.ly/4q09r2I

The mother bird is clearly displeased with something said by the baby bird. What was it?

IOW, tariff costs were passed along to consumers, but if we keep it up, they'll get wise to us.

Yup. We dont have a health care crisis. We have an insurance crisis.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

Sorry. No lunch breaks in a war zone.

"Who the fuck turned off the waxer?"

After 35 years I hung it up and went into ecology.

100% agree. I go way back - first place I worked still had a Linotype machine. Ended up as a pre-press project and production manager in a high-end shop. I can't tell you how many times I had to explain to designers and digital types exactly what are the limits of lithography.

If the NFL sucks, why does the Department of Defense spend millions of dollars to advertise on football broadcasts?

Yeah - I typically don't pay any attention to the halftime show - other than to wonder why everyone got offended. I figure the halftime show is just to boost rating by getting a bunch of people that don't care about football to watch the broadcast.

"Well, I would do that, and we’re sitting down — you know, I was, uh, somebody, we had Sen. Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka, was so, uh, impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue." Donald J. Trump

A little quick math shows those states account for a slightly less than half of the country's GDP.

He was sad he hadn't been in the news for a while and Tesla sales were better than expected, so it must be time to stir up more shit.

So having the military responsible for the administration of justice. I think there's a name for that...

Asshole Trump.

In 2020, Biden won 509 counties and Trump won 2,500. But here’s the kicker: Biden’s counties generated 71% of America’s GDP. Trump won the dirt, Biden won the dollars.

He should do everyone a favor and just die in prison.

How could he have dementia? He circled the picture of the giraffe for bucks sake.

Priorities.

"Wanna share any soybean recipes?"

You are absolutely correct, and as my representative, I know you will hold the line.

If Trump calls them up the feds will pay for it. If Landry does, it's on the state to cover cost. Typical red state moocher.

This whole thing is mortifying. My fear is that these officers will be judged - rightly or wrongly - on their fealty to Trump, and will suffer if they aren't regarded as being sufficiently obsequious. Time will tell.

Got this in China - about time I can put it to use.

He'll get back to her after he's done bailing out Argentina.

Not to pick a nit but Louis the XIV, the Sun King, who indeed had a lavish palace at Versailles, wasn't the focus of ire. It was Louis the XVI who inspired the French to overthrow the monarchy. Everything I know about this I learned from Allan Sherman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep9f...

Agree. Probably Lutnick.

The truck had a couple of big American flags in the back ala MAGA types. Wonder if this is payback for what happened in Utah?
