Pronounced per see ah

Can’t even burgle nonces anymore. Because of woke.

Called that wrong.

Breaking: Lewandowski to remain at DHS in same role. Ongoing discussions with Mullins about who is going to top.

All but assured DJT will just ignore it then.

Think of it as a green energy policy with the added benefit of making Trump unpopular.

Too bad it helps Russia, though.

So this is a right-wing outfit, is it? That's a shame.

Wouldn't the Iranians be able to see these large ships?

Broke: decapitation strike
Woke: third Gulf War
Bespoke: second Spanish-American War

Geopolitics! In the Persian Gulf!

May wish to consult lawyer before attempting sarcasm in sworn testimony.

The demonym is pilfer.

Binding Poland is in crucial. I've heard a lot of American defence analysts recently speculate about Polish nukes who don't seem to be aware of how Euratom has integrated much of the supply chain needed for that into a dispersed European level

[Looks up from diabolical plan to make Newsom the 2028 nominee] Wait, what?

It was a shit sandwich, damned either way. Which is why:

We are talking about the previous shutdown. This one seems to be going fine. Sustainable. Solid endgame.

Yeah, we talked about that before. It's something, but you also used to defend the promised ACA vote as something.

Now, it's more an object lesson in GOP faithlessness.

You're confusing descriptive statements for normative ones. The bluesky disease.

Fascists have outgroups for this purpose. People they are not burdened with caring about.

That vote was the big part of the deal that ended the long shutdown. Whether Dems got what they bargained for is on topic.

Right. But there is also this idea about not negotiating with terrorists. Do you understand the logic behind it?

You save these hostages while showing that taking hostages works and they should take more in the future.

Good point. Republicans learned that taking hostages works. You can give Democrats nothing as long as they are bargaining for hostages.

Think Republicans will find new hostages?

It's good to learn from one's mistakes, but they're still mistakes.

I have disagreed with you on this point because i disagree on this point.

On the larger point of certain people being exceptionally unfair to Dem leadership out of anger, we agree.

But its still possible for them to have fucked this up.

Im getting to it.

If there was no plausible way to get something real for it, you don't do the shutdown.

The shutdown went better than anyone had a right to expect from a PR standpoint. Republicans were taking the blame for it.

And still there was no path to anything resembling a win b4 the cave.

I think my interpretation was the more logical one.

I don't have anti-Dem anger. You're confusing me with the tankie dipshits you usually tangle with.

Generally, I think you're right in those cases, but here you may have overcorrected.

The long shutdown and cave was just bad. I'm sorry

Not now that you clarified that you meant only through the moment it achieved the status of longest shutdown ever rather than the end of the shutdown.

If only someone could have predicted it was worthless at the time.

I thought you meant through the end of the shutdown itself.
