Still don't get that it's all nothing but a shit-show?

I come from a business background.

In business, we work as long as it takes to get the job done for our customers.

That’s exactly what the American people want to see us do.

If the government shuts down, so do our investigations into Joe Biden, and we can’t let that happen.

So the main US fighter can't fly in the rain...

While this is cute for a meme, it is not factually correct. Several news outlets have misrepresented that event. They have taken out of context the audio from the pilot, wingman, and ATC where the Marines stated that they could no longer see where the F35 went as they lost it in the weather. It had nothing to do with the pilot ejecting.

Their pay doesn't stop, banks don't close, many of their sources are not affected by a government shutdown. So the un-implied option should be for them to continue working on the investigation during the shutdown What other lame excuse do they have to pass a spending bill packed with who knows how much wasted spending and hidden legislature it holds. With that excuse, the ends definitely do not justify the means. Hold your ground, shut the government down unless the spending bill only includes the necessary funding, stopsCongress's pay during shutdowns, stops full backpay for non-essential government employees laid off during the shutdown, and puts term limits on elected federal officials for starters. I don't mean to sound harsh, but we are the company they work for. The company I worked for didn't pay me or others when a working agreement wasn't reached and they shut down, certainly not any back pay. The salaried people didn't quit getting paid but usually worked their butts off trying to half ass start up and run some of the plant.

From the article
"Trans people -- they exist in society, and they deserve inclusion, just like everyone else," said activist Celeste Trianon, who helped lead a counter-protest in downtown Montreal, where police inserted themselves between the two factions outside the offices of Premier Francois Legault.
Yes, so do murderers, robbers, rapists, and pedophiles. Do they need to be treated like everybody else?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted about the Canada-wide protests, saying "Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country -- you are valid and you are valued."

Organizers of the marches said they were protesting the "premature sexualization and potentially harmful indoctrination" of children, but that they aren't against LGBTQ2S+ people. The crowd that gathered in Ottawa suggested otherwise, with some signs held by protesters directly targeting members in that community as being groomers and pedophiles.

Others shouted that being LGBTQ2S+ is a sin, that children shouldn't be learning about those identities in schools, and that the "evilness" of the LGBTQ2S+ community will soon be eradicated.
I've only been to Canada once, but I'm with the crowd from Ottawa. FJT

Speaking of corrupt


Watch: Rand Paul Blasts "Corrupt" Zelensky "Begging For More Money" | ZeroHedge

It’s not even just going to armaments. You realize we’re funding the pension of their government workers and we complain about bloated government here. They’ve got bloated government and they’ve got corruption. And the American taxpayer, people are struggling in our country, are asked to fund it. I think it’s wrong. And I think most of the American people, frankly, are with me,” Paul said during a Fox Business interview.

Paul also noted that Zelensky has cancelled Democracy in the country.
“They’ve cancelled the elections. What kind of democracy has no election?” he noted, adding “next year, Zelensky said he’s not going to have an election because it would be inconvenient during the war and would be expensive.”

He continued, “if you don’t have elections, who in the world will be supporting a country that’s not a democracy? They’ve banned the political parties, they’ve invaded churches, they’ve arrested priests. So, no, it isn’t a democracy. It’s a corrupt regime.”

"Go To Hell": Brave EU Politician Delivers Damning Message To Global Tyrants
"Go To Hell": Brave EU Politician Delivers Damning Message To Global Tyrants | ZeroHedge


“We just need to find a way to wake the people up. Because the point is simply this: it comes down to a choice. It’s either freedom, democracy, and the rule of law — or enslavement.

“There is no such thing in between. There is no such thing as a little freedom, a little democracy, a little rule of law, just as there is no such thing as a little enslavement. So that’s the choice. It comes down to – it’s either the globalitarian misanthropists or the people. It comes down to – it’s either us or them. And that’s, I think, what this really is all about.

“Now, when my colleagues and I were elected to this parliament, there was no question about it. We were on the side of the people because the people actually pay us to act in their best interests. That’s our job. And once again, I will say to every single elected representative around the world, to every single member in every elected government around the world, if you do not unequivocally stand with the people and serve in their best interests, act in their best interests, you have no place in any parliament or in any government. You belong behind bars. You may even rot in hell for all I care at this point because that’s exactly what you deserve if you sell out the people.”

MEP Anderson continued. “Now, I would like to make a promise to the people, and I’m pretty sure I can speak or speak on behalf of my colleagues. We will continue to stand with you, the people. We will continue to fight for freedom, democracy, and the rule of law. We will not shut up, and we will not stop going after those despicable globalitarian misanthropists.

“But we would also like to have you make a promise to us. You may have heard it’s all coming back. The first country is already starting [to talk about] mask mandates in Israel. They’re already imposing it. I’ve heard of a few universities in the United States. They’re already bringing it all back. And I would really like for you, the people, to not go along. Simply say no! They want you to wear a mask; say no. They want you to put in another mRNA shot; say no. They want to impose a curfew on you; say no. That’s really all you have to do.

“And it might not be or might sound a little hard, but it’s actually not that hard. Because once you have made it clear to them that you will no longer go along, once you’ve let them know, they cannot scare you anymore. Because as long as you are afraid of what they might do if you don’t comply, they have power over you. Take the power away from them! Simply say no. Once you do that, they don’t have power over you anymore. You will feel so free. Simply say no.

“And considering what we’ve heard today, and considering what we’ve seen in the last three years. Considering what we know they want to implement, heck, you might even be well within your right to tell them to screw themselves and go to hell! That’s where they belong. What will you get out of that? I can tell you. Once you’ve done that, once you’ve told them to just go to hell, they no longer have power over you. You will have an incredible feeling — kind of like a sensation of freedom will swap through your body. I promise you will feel so relieved.

“And this is the state of mind that I would ask all of you to get to. Simply don’t let them grind you down anymore. You are worth it. You are deserving of just standing up for yourselves. And tell them all to go to hell. Thank you very much.”
