Oh boy. I hope someone in the progressive leftie media declares it a conspiracy theory which will then make sure it is absolute fact. The only "crazy" thing about it is that whomever might have taken bribes for the autopen probably charged less than the Biden crime family charges for bribes.

RV is absolutely correct. Waste, fraud, fat, etc. is round off error. Eliminate it all and the problem is not solved. Not even close. So we should STFU about it as a means of balancing the budget. It is absolutely appropriate to go after it on the basis of corruption and individual culpability for lying, cheating, etc. But it has nothing to do with Moody's decision. Until we get back to the government doing only what it is authorized to do and nothing else we have no chance of balancing anything. RV is absolutely wrong about cutting the military budget as being anything useful in the big picture of federal budgeting. I do not see the federal government being authorized to fund a retirement scheme in the Constitution. I do not see the federal government taking money from one person and giving it to another person in the Constitution. I do not see the federal government being the main provider of medical services in the country in the Constitution. The politicians are expertly executing game theory here. Everyone knows (except true socialists who are innumerate) that this house of cards will tumble down. However, both sides also know that to do anything about it will result in political and electoral disaster for their side. So both are bluffing until the end. And it makes perfect sense from the incentive systems in place right now. The behavior is very rational - if you have a short term perspective of 5 - 10 years to worry about.

The most damning part of that headline is that there is such a thing as "Conservative Media". Jakey boy tacitly admits that he is, therefore, in the leftist biased media. How about we just have . . . facts? Perhaps it is too much to ask that we don't have to know the bias of the source in order to understand and analyze (i.e. trust) the information of PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS?!? Isn't that the purpose of professional "Schools of Journalism" and degrees, etc.? Leftist Journalist professors ruined their profession and now we have heaping piles (and growing) of evidence that we don't hate the media enough. This post should probably be in that other thread also. https://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/jake-tapper-admits-conservative-media-was-right-about-biden-during-frank-megyn-kelly-interview/?cfp

What they don't realize is that no one is talking about Biden being at fault. The "talking" is about the behavior of the media and the Democrats. It is not claiming that Biden did anything wrong - or out of character - by being serially incoherent.

Dudes, this is not on the politicians. It is on the population. Until we pass a balanced budget amendment and punish politicians on both sides of the aisle for deficits then we cannot blame them for doing exactly what we gave them the authority to do and allow them to do. WE MUST REMOVE THEIR AUTHORITY TO SPEND IN DEFICIT. PERIOD.

The climateering hoax and the recycling hoax go hand-in-hand. And they are crashing against each other with the end-of-life realities of the hallowed solar panels and windmill blades. This article is a long read. https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2025/05/15/wasting_away_in_wind-and-solarville_1110296.html?mc_cid=9c25da5168&mc_eid=ac81c0c239 I don't mind if any individual wants to use his/her precious time and life energy sorting garbage. It reminds me of stamp or bug collectors and makes me smile at kindly eccentrics. The problem is when the eccentrics become totalitarians and say that any eccentricity they can imagine must be mandated on the non-believers. Then we have eco-Torquemadas. On a business trip to Germany I had to stay over the weekend. I decided to drive through the countryside on Saturday morning and came upon a huge traffic jam on a two lane rural road. As I inched forward in the jam that lasted about 30 minutes I came to the cause: Everyone in town was going to the recycling center to drop off their sorted garbage at a very designated time and place. The "climate damage" from the cars idling there must have been incredible!! And think of the cost at about $8 per gallon of gas. At least the government got about $6 in taxes on that $8 of gas. Imagine how a whole society can get caught up in self-perpetuated delusions. Good thing nothing like that ever happens here.

All of the best conspiracy theories get ruined by ending up being true.

Inverse tanking is a form of tanking. Why are you guys so constrained that you think tanking means something negative? Be diverse and inclusive in your understanding of tanking.

Strawmen.

Valedictorians, surely.

I second the hugeness of surprise. I had an African pope on my FanDuel.

Must Read Wrestling Forum Content I feel like I just got Rick Rolled. Well done, WKN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling

Let's see if the get J6 style due process. Solitary confinement. Charging enhancements. Deep dives into all of their social and familial contacts. Swat style interactions for those who were outside the building but did not actually walk in. If not VAK is going to be very upset. Strawmen everywhere will be upset.

Channeling my inner RV: "Maybe Garcia was a trafficker but no one has proven those were humans. Prove it. Did you take DNA and do you have it in jars in your refrigerator? ANSWER MY QUESTION! Strawmen are tanking."

I like big busts and I cannot lie.

Bio-DEI. Cows finally getting their equity and inclusion in the woke-world. I woulda thunk cows would get more love from the greenies anyway - they are vegan for goodness sake. And organic, donchaknow.

I am enjoying reading the discussion and perspectives going back and forth. The lines become blurrier and blurrier when we take away the life/death aspect. Lying - does your 89 year old aunt really look good? Obeying traffic laws - never goes 3 over the speed limit even to pass? Following procedures at work - just go in a hallway when the person you are walking with swipes her badge? Utilitarian prevails in nearly all the cases except the really biggies. Hence - 10 commandments being deontological. The rest is up for negotiation. There is also a cultural aspect involved. There is a story - perhaps urban myth - of a German army storeroom clerk who would not hand out winter weather gear to troops nearby because he did not have the proper authorization. The troops froze to death with coats on racks mere meters away. The deontological nature of his culture - follow der rhules! - made him do something unthinkable nearly everywhere else in the world. The quality, morality, rightness, etc of the rules or procedures is never under question so long as it comes from the perceived proper authority.

Who'd a thunk physics matters? Mandate it and it must happen. That's the law!

Strawmen were tanking. That was firmly hypothesized, established, and proven by the Strawmen Declaration Club of this forum. EDIT: HA!! I wrote the above before I read the very next comment. Which was RV declaring . . . "Indefinitely?" Strawan Definitely Strawmen tanking indefinitely.

What is said does not matter. Who says it is all that matters. And, if it is mean or not. Democrats are incapable of being mean so they can actually kill people without it being bad. Republicans are incapable of being nice so anything they do is bad. Does that help you understand? If it weren't for double standards the left and the press and - it is now obvious; the judiciary - would have no standards at all.
