Quote from: Pergamos on January 16, 2025, 05:28:56 PMI honestly hope they deny aid to California, because Newsom has suggested that doing so would lead to California denying the fed payment of taxes.  I'd definitely like to see California keep that money and use it to fight fires.

How would that work?

Does the state government of California pay taxes to the federal government?

There's no way they could make the citizens of the state pay their federal income tax to the state and then... I'm not even sure what the next stage of that plan would be. Arresting federal agents attempting to collect taxes?

I learned a new word this morning.

'It's horrible': Hooters plots British 'breastaurant' expansion via Newcastle

Having never heard the word before, out of curiosity, I googled "breastaurant" to see if it was a documented and recognized part of the 'Merican vocabulary. Now, I did not find any dictionary entries, but I did find one on Wikipedia. My biggest surprise, however, was seeing a map appear as part of my search results that clearly marked five (5) "breastaurants" within a few minutes drive of my house.

I really did need a good laugh this morning.

This is something I sincerely hope the Resistance 2.0 quickly organizes around, and rises up against:

Trump to create religious office in White House, target 'anti-Christian bias'

I, and I believe most of you here, want freedom from their hypocritical religion, not a Christofascist theocracy running this country's government. (Obviously, I wouldn't be here on this forum if I did.)

This intrusion on my life makes my blood boil. Needless to say, my elected representatives will be receiving some of my more blunt emails concerning this particular outrage.

Speaking about that, you see Musk's thing on USAID?

Food and medical aid to Gaza is now zero (0) dollars.

How'd that protest work out, Sparky?   :lulz:

Please provide a link to a quotation from Ken Martin about these "good billionaires," if it is your intention to initiate a discussion about his speech.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't believe even this MSM news will outrage someone as greedy as the TSS enough for him to order the USCEO to hit the road:

New Time Cover Shows Elon Musk Sitting Behind Trump's Resolute Desk

For what it's worth, I think we're going to have to get much, much closer to the 2026 midterm elections, and their probable bad polling numbers for the Disloyal Opposition Party, before the TSS's sense of self-preservation outweighs his massive greed. Again, I hope I'm wrong about this.
