They’ll get back pay after the government re-opens. They just can’t get paid during the shutdown.

Congressional pay, and all federal positions, should be a function of the minimum wage. The job pays the minimum wage times some number. If they want a raise, the only way to get it is to raise the minimum wage.

Hey, at least they’re trying and not some sovcit dipshit.

Just call the US. I’m sure we have some kid sized prison equipment.

Listen here buddy, I’m not your friend.

It very much depends which gate you’re looking at. There are a whole lot of people flying through Denver to get somewhere else; not everyone in DIA is from Colorado. As someone from Denver, I can say for sure that the airport has a whole lot more fat people than you see out and about.

I think they’re setting this up to be a whole bunch of nothing. Their current plan is to just tell the states to deport everyone. States don’t do shit on behalf of the federal government for free. If the fed doesn’t pay, the states say no way. So a few red states will deport some people but then he’ll go start to blaming dem states for cock blocking him.

Don’t get me wrong, this will destroy the lives of thousands of people and be a stain on our nation. But no way they’re deporting 20,000,000.

It’s totally possible! I live in CO and Comcast had a legal monopoly per state law. Nobody else is allowed to compete with their cable service. But you know what isn’t cable? Fiber! A local broadband company just installed fiber in my neighborhood this spring. I signed up for $89/mo gigabit service, no data cap, no installation fees at all. Between when I signed up and when they turned on service, they upgraded my service to 1.2 gigabit, same monthly price, no cap, no commitment, no upsell (their only other service is rural satellite Internet).

I talked to the technician installing it and he said they aren’t getting any subsidies from anyone. Not the city, state, or fed. It’s simply economically viable to run new gigabit fiber for $89/mo. All it takes is a company that can make the initial infrastructure investment.

Yep, that’s on track! My house has almost tripled in price since I bought it 12 years ago. Denver metro. No way I could afford it if I had to buy it today.

NOW ALWAYS CLOSED OPEN-BUT MINDED

What were soldiers doing in hospitals and schools? It’s almost like they wanted to get themselves blown up!

Oh, my bad. Wrong place. I got it confused with this one:

“A Major Massacre” in Jabaliya; Israeli Forces Raid Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza, Killing Patients

Or maybe it was this one:

Israel strike on Gaza school-turned-shelter kills 17, hospital says

Damn, maybe it was this one:

Israeli attack closes last functioning hospital in north Gaza

Found it! I was thinking of this one:

Israeli shelling of Gaza school kills at least 22

Well, it’s at least one of those.

Heh, don’t take my perspective as being supportive of it.

We have let the world know there are no rules

Quite the opposite. The US is demonstrating that it is above any international law and will do what it wants regardless of any standing agreements. It’s demonstrating that the only rules that matter are the ones it makes. Israel is our dog on our leash and we’re letting it bite someone. But if anyone hurts our dog, we’ll go full John Wick on their country. That’s why Israel bombs schools and hospitals without warning and Iran gives a few days notice before they attack.

Because believers will listen to Christianity’s divinely inspired interpretation of the Bible that says that. Non-christians won’t listen to that. Therefore anyone who believes the earth is older has rejected Christianity. He did it to help identify the non-believers because he’s a petty bitch.

In the US, the penalties can be higher if you’re drunk and commit a crime. Being drunk is in and of itself a crime in the US (public intoxication) so you at least get that as an additional charge.

Hey you leave them out of this. Ocean Avenue is a treasure.

Yeah but hair metal had raw sex appeal. They’d fuck your girl, and maybe you too, and you were ok with it. Sure it’s musically lighter, but they went hard. On the other hand, you assume 5FDP is on tour again because they’re behind on child support payments.

Giving someone a pile of cash is not mental healthcare.

The “genius” was the IN state Congress that made it law that 37.5 and under must be considered part time, even for minors. I was working exactly that every week while also going to high school when I was 16.
