Not one of you presented an argument why the Parliamentarian was wrong.


About ruling a section on requiring ID when voting was not supposed to be in a reconciliation budget bill.

Am I the only one who noticed that he didn't single out or mention "Christians" in the posted clip? He was simply talking about believers in God.

It's a stupid point still, yes. I'm just saying.


Yeah, noticed that too.

But people on the internet want to be angry.

1) Here? This forum? One solution is people need to stop posting random, unproven, misinformation, and disinformation from sources like X.

2) Adults? Start looking inward instead of outward for answers. Doing so will lead to spirituality, which includes practices such as self-reflection, introspection, and hopefully a bit of self-awareness and humility.

3) Kids? See #2 above.

Just my opinion. No better than anyone else’s


Have to disagree.



That's better than a lot of opinions on this board.
Not commenting on whether mail voting or ID requirements are good or bad, but that table is misleading.

The US is a collection of states, each with its own laws. Some allow mail voting (in Oregon, I think, it's the only way to vote). Louisiana requires an ID to vote. But again, there are nuances and details for each state:

I have no problem with coal.

But why do we need to spend $700m of taxpayer dollars on it?

3) Trump endorsed her, but i doubt it was because of anything she did. He wanted Cassidy out, as did all of us, and like i said in 2, he didn't have a clue who Fleming is.


He was Deputy Chief of Staff for goodness sake!
Yeah, not the biggest fan of Trump but this is bad move policy wise.

Politically, I get it, but you should try to minimize the impact of politics on military decisions.

Abraham Lincoln fought a 4 year war with neither a declaration nor permission from Congress.


Misleading as hell.

If the south was not a foreign nation (as the Lincoln claimed) then the North could not declare war on them. If they did, that would have given the Confederacy's claims legitimacy as a separate sovereign entity.

Furthermore, Congress, while not declaring war for the reasons above, ratified all his actions such as passing the Conscription Acts to draft soldiers and approved his budgets that funded the war.

re: FL Reduction in Property Taxes

This is pure idiocy.

The two fastest growing states (in population and economy) are Texas and Florida. Neither of which has an income tax and both have high property taxes.

Yes, let's shift away from a tax structure and economy that has been the envy of the country.

More curious to see if Graves runs for his congressional seat.

Seems like the only entities that get what they “voted for” is the large corporations and elites. That’s because they invest though lobbying.

Caltech ditched testing during COVID and switched back in April 2024.
So you don’t think there have been any wars since World War Two?
