Have I traumatized any progressives out there showing this foreign, alien shape?

The progressives see a trans woman.

Personally I have my own theory involving societal madness; it involves micro-plastics on the brain.

I think many decades of Marketing and Political Propaganda have surreptitiously eroded the capabilities of critical thinking and have created a society of brainless consumers of junk food and iJunk, as well as political slogans and memes. Social Media is accelerating the process.

I agree with that, so why is Thune letting the democrats stop the Republican agenda instead of going nuclear?
CR after CR after CR is not what we voted for.

I'm not sure. Maybe every time congress is forced to go nuclear it comes back to haunt them when the power shifts? Maybe because he knows the democraps in the senate are doomed after the midterms and now their backs are against the wall, so why give them anything? Who knows. I do think that this shutdown is a Hail Mary for the democraps and will ultimately end up doing much more damage to them than the GOP. I actually think that Trump is not fully exploiting the situation to rid the government of worthless democrap employees who do nothing for the American people and are only there to help implement the democrap agenda. Every penny the democraps have spent in the last 30 years was to benefit, fortify, and/or enrich the democrap party. There is a lot of trash to be taken out. Why not use this shutdown to do it? That's my question.

Conservatives and Republicans should stop viewing Democrats as crazy, out of touch, or going through a phase before they find themselves. This is not a phase, and they are not crazy. They have a plan. As they lose more and more ground among ordinary Americans, Democrats remain committed to making socialism acceptable in America, whether through pretty words or hardcore violence.
Currently, Democrats are crouched in a defensive posture. They lost the last presidential race, dropping 2,559 counties out of 3,112. That’s the dagger at their throats. The Electoral College decides presidential races, and with continued population loss in Blue states, Red states gain ever more votes. (This is why Trump is pushing for an honest census, unlike the last one, which relied heavily on illegal aliens to boost Blue state numbers.)

Democrats want to win every national election, but, with the numbers against them in the real world, they’ve chosen to lie or use violence to have their way. The lies see Dems deceitfully proclaim they love the police and believe in the rule of law, all the while being…well, lawless!
Democrats would lose almost every national election if not for their successful strategy of courting socialists and communists with grandiose plans to bring down the wealthy in our country through effective redistribution. Harris received only 40% of the white vote. The last time a majority of white voters supported a Democratic presidential candidate was in 1964, when Lyndon B. Johnson won approximately 61% of the white vote.
To play to their base of non-whites, Dems now subtly encourage violent acts, pushback against lawful authority, illegal immigration, and literally banging drums to achieve relevance. But, they have a problem—those who seek all this wealth redistribution got wealthy in the capitalist system.


Commentary:
Democrats are increasingly relying on anti-Trump messaging, which has shown diminishing returns and failed to improve their public standing. To regain support, they're need to focus on a positive vision for the future has become clouded, rather than solely opposing Trump.
Simply, this is a Lack of a Clear Vision
The party's focus on opposing Trump has overshadowed the development of a positive vision for the future. Many voters are looking for long-term solutions and a clear plan that addresses their needs and aspirations.
We would like tot chalk this up to derangement syndrome, but somehow I feel that there is some underlying strategy. The DSA Marxist Left has been ruling a long time and it didn’t come around by accident.
Yet, Democrat/DSA actions are proving that they're beyond deranged. They've doubled down on issues they've no business, reason, or rationality doubling down on. These images fully display the mentally deficient mindset of Leftists, and why Americans increasingly view Leftists as unhinged:

The issue is the moral fabric of society. As it erodes, so will the politics of the said society.

They will then naturally gravitate toward the wrong end of every political issue as a result, which is what we as seeing with the DNC.

It starts off innocent enough, just eating some forbidden fruit, and the next thing you know you are unable to condemn genocidal acts like what happened on 10/7, you defend students at major universities singing, "Gas the Jews", and you endorse political candidates who openly fantasize about assassinating their political opponent and their children to boot.

Of course, who the hell cares about the unborn if they don't give a damn about those already born?

Once upon a time the moral fabric of society kept the politicians in check, but there were few who maintained it and they are now all dead. Now the politicians want to be seen as the leaders of morality, but they are all corrupt. We don't have leaders who help build and maintain the moral fabric anymore. Where are the heroes? I know where they are not, and that is on the TV and in films. It's looking bad, folks.

Where are the heroes? Charly Kirk to me is a hero. Here we have someone who walked the walk, someone who, despite being worth around $12 dollars, kept going out on that stage despite all the myriads of death threats. He did not have to keep doing that, but he did, and now he is a martyr for all eternity.

In other words, it takes courage. Without people continuing to be genuine and courageous, then it all falls apart.

This is why this picture terrorizes the Left in their dreams.

So, a Left wing mayor tells the police to stand down while their city goes up in flames during a Left wing protest, will ya?

Hell no!!

Courage terrifies them because they instinctively know that courage is the only thing that can slay them.

I don't remember ever seeing a major American party so completely paralyzed for so long.

The Republicans were in disarray after Obama won, but you could see signs of life after a couple of years.

When your only hope is that enough people vote against the opposition, maybe it's time to look in the mirror.

Like what? Tax cuts? Growing the economy?

Here are a questions worth thinking about. Generally speaking, what kind of economic conditions cause the Fed to cut interest rates? A strong economy or a weak economy?

AI Overview

Yes, the Fed is widely expected to cut interest rates at its upcoming meeting on
October 28–29, with analysts anticipating a quarter-point reduction. This expectation is fueled by recent inflation data that came in lower than anticipated (3%) and evidence of a slowing labor market.

Is it harder or easier to grow the economy by cutting taxes without regard for deficits?

AI Overview

Yes, tax cuts will likely result in deficits, especially if they are not balanced by immediate spending cuts. When tax revenue decreases and is not offset by lower government spending, the gap between what the government spends and what it collects increases, leading to a larger national debt. For example, analyses of recent tax plans, like the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) and a previous Republican tax bill, have projected trillions of dollars in increased deficits over a decade.

What is it called when a party is able to maintain political power while advocating for policies positions unpopular with a majority of Americans?

AI Overview

"Minority rule" can refer to two different concepts: a political structure where a minority holds power over the majority, often through anti-democratic means like gerrymandering or voter suppression, and a cultural theory where minority elites manipulate culture wars to distract and divide the majority, allowing them to maintain economic and political power. In the political context, this is often described as a perversion of constitutional democracy, where systems like the Electoral College and the Senate can allow a minority to outweigh the popular will of the majority. In the cultural theory, it refers to how perceived social issues are manufactured to hide the power of economic elites.

What I regret is that the teen did not sue the hell out of the media and Joe Biden for calling him a white supremacist, something they had zero evidence for.

The kid may not be that smart, but he had courage to try to defend a community from being terrorized and burned to the ground as the police were told to "stand down".

They have decided that power swings back and forth between the two parties depending on the economy, world affairs, etc. They are positioning themselves hoping that Trump fails and then voters will have no choice but to elect the socialists.

 

[berg80]

The kid may not be that smart, but he had courage to try to defend a community from being terrorized and burned to the ground as the police were told to "stand down".

Why do you equate being armed with a semi-automatic weapon as being courageous? The lie you told about the police being ordered to stand down........

AI Overview

No, the police were not told to stand down in Kenosha; instead, they actively engaged with protesters using riot control measures like tear gas and rubber bullets, although they did not enforce a curfew. Reports indicate that while officers initially gave warnings about the curfew, they did not physically push people out of the area to enforce it.

...........is that your way of justifying allowing an immature kid like Kyle to walk around with a lethal weapon?

1. There are limitations to what the president can do by EO. We may need congress to eliminate most agencies and departments.

2. Thune can go nuclear just for CRs, Appropriations, and Rescissions. That would prevent any more government shutdowns. If the dems take control in the future, its what votes want. Better to get Trump's agenda passed than to let democrats stop it.

The Fed was misled by the BLS who said Biden created a million jobs, when actually it was 22,000 jobs. So the Fed held rates steady instead of lowering them for too long. The "neutral rate" is about 1%, and the Fed rate is 4%, so there is room to cut without concern for inflation.

Is it harder or easier to grow the economy by cutting taxes without regard for deficits?

AI Overview
Yes, tax cuts will likely result in deficits, especially if they are not balanced by immediate spending cuts. When tax revenue decreases and is not offset by lower government spending, the gap between what the government spends and what it collects increases, leading to a larger national debt. For example, analyses of recent tax plans, like the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) and a previous Republican tax bill, have projected trillions of dollars in increased deficits over a decade.

Actually, the latest BBB deficit projection by the CBO is $2.4T over 10-years, or $240b a year. But interest rate cuts, higher GDP growth over 1.8%, tariff revenue, more spending cuts, and claw-backs could turn that deficit into a surplus.

What is it called when a party is able to maintain political power while advocating for policies positions unpopular with a majority of Americans?

AI Overview
"Minority rule" can refer to two different concepts: a political structure where a minority holds power over the majority, often through anti-democratic means like gerrymandering or voter suppression, and a cultural theory where minority elites manipulate culture wars to distract and divide the majority, allowing them to maintain economic and political power.

In the cultural theory, it refers to how perceived social issues are manufactured to hide the power of economic elites.

1. Biden had a 75% wrong track number, Trump has approvals in the high 40s.
2. Democrats have approvals of 19% to 23%, very unpopular

So thank you for your AI confirmation that Republicans are "the will of the majority" as seen by the 2024 popular vote as well as recent polling.

I guess we have to trust the process. The entire GOP knows what it is doing and knows how to deal with the democraps. Maybe they are thinking long term? The democraps already dug themselves a deep hole with the illegal immigration BS and their penchant for violent crime, that combined with this shutdown just forces them to dig a deeper hole. They will be forced to cave and look extremely weak among their remaining voters. Remember, the midterms usually go against the sitting POTUS, but the way things are going for the democraps I think the GOP will get many more seats in both houses next November. Maybe another week or two of the shutdown may be all that is necessary to guarantee GOP majorities in congress through 2036. Then Trump's AND Vance's agendas can be implemented with no resistance. Eyes on the prize!
