Travis from his porch 🌻

or tonight, farthest frontier

this makes it possible for me to to play no man’s sky, civilization, and factorio until 2 am while parked on my couch. it’s ideal

then route outside the wall over to the tv and a usb hub

it’s actually fairly neat. wires go into a hole in the floor behind the PC upstairs and come out in the tv room near the ceiling

wait, are you saying Terry is a total piece of shit? that can't be right, he's always seemed ... well, actually kind of like a total piece of shit

noam chompsky was born in 1928 was he really hanging out with epstein in his late 80s?

i bought a whole house just so i could run whatever damn cables i want

i solved this problem with HDMI and USB cables run from the computer in the office to the tv room

42, that's why

yes. 2 shows, that’s a reach. but 4? it would unreasonable NOT to

When the shutdown started, I did not expect them to last more than a week or two. But with polls increasingly showing the Republicans being blamed, the fact that red state voters are getting hammered by SNAP and ACA, and the voting last week, the decision to fold now feels particularly performative

he didn't vote for it, but he's not learned anything from this disaster. saying "oh well, we shot our shot!" after this capitulation is the same as saying "we never intended to really fight, this was all a performance." no thanks.

Senator, we aren't going to just *forget* that the Dems caved, AGAIN, getting nothing in exchange for the last 40 days of suffering. this is precisely why many americans don't trust Dems. we say we'll fight, and then ... just quit, for no gain. i've made my last donation to you cowards.

but but but we get to lose a vote in the Senate, so even if the House won't even hold a vote, we won the shutdown!!

"hard working americans"
"common sense solutions"
"bipartisan"
"state and federal partners"

these should all be stricken from Ds vocabulary entirely. i mean literally never say any of these things again. ever. everyone HATES these phrases, and they generally just mean "we're screwing you over"

no one is this credulous. stop the fucking gaslighting!!

my crystal ball has him, like Lieberman and Cuomo before him, running as an independent because they won’t accept that NO MEANS NO

my “I am a weakling” t-shirt has people asking me a lot of questions best answered by my t-shirt

JFC no one will care that the Rs voted for the 71st time to cut the ACA. everyone who cares to know ALREADY KNOWS their position

CALL YOUR MOM THEN

this is a lie. no one is saying this to her.

"so long as" is doing all the work here. why are you assuming they'll do something they've never done before, when all evidence is to the contrary? this is just wishcasting

shouldn't the senate minority leader generally have some impact on *shrugs and looks at America* and if not, isn't that kind of an indictment of him?

WE ALREADY KNOW THAT. what we need is the ACA subsidies.

that means 40 of them agreed to pretend that they aren't supporting the 7 who are named. it's simply not a coincidence that all 7 of them are not up for re-election. they were chosen among the caucus to offer their votes becuase they can't be voted out

"...however, despite this, i have decided not to, and that's all there is to say about that."

if by effective you mean accomplishes tasks the voters want, of course not. but if you mean accomplishes what his donors want, the man is legend

i'm missing something here. is king suggesting the best (only?) way to fight back is to capitulate entirely? WTF, MAINE?!?

because they don't want to solve the problem! they want the problem to exist, for campaign purposes. see also, immigration & the deficit.

nothing
