SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics)
Welcome to the Official SE Politics Thread. The aim here is for high quality political discussion and debate. The concom
Hank Green spoke to a local food bank administrator recently and asked if this government shutdown felt different than others, she said "Yes, this one feels cruel".
So yeah, I'd say youre right
Also, speaking of cruel I know we can always make more, but it's always something when an old war criminal bites the dust
Kamala campainged using cheney's endorsement... and Bernie endorsed her. and AOC. they are ALL war criminals
Seemingly huge DEM turnout in VA, so we might get a sweep. Similar in NYC, so Mamdani is looking good.
NJ is kinda odd. Some republican strongholds showing up heavy.
VA Polls closed at 7pm
At 7:19pm
Dems in VA outrunning Biden. NJ already called for Dem.
This would be an almost unprecedented ass stomping
he really missed out on a golden opportunity: campaigning with the slogan
Spoiler
"Don't Mess with the Zohran"
maybe he can use it for his presidential run in the future
I keeping thinking of him as Zoltan Rob-Zombie after seeing the SNL open on youtube.
he's probably going to be president in a few terms, with AOC as his VP
okay flip Zohran and AOC then.

lol apparently schumer and jeffries didn't attend mamdani's victory party, also basically didn't endorse him. probably voted for cuomo too. love how blue party isn't even trying to hide the fact that their entire job is to ensure it doesn't move 1 inch to the left

You’re telling me the guy who coined the classic joke about Kentucky fried French fries is out of touch with the modern day?
I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you
The whole appealing to the Supreme Court to be allowed to refuse to fund snap is ****ing wild
There is no bottom
then there's the other party, who also aren't even trying to hide who and whatthey are anymore. i mean they even went and wrote it down.
"A data analysis by the Project 2025 Tracker shows that in just nine months, the Trump administration has already completed 48 percent of the goals outlined"-oct., 2025
what % of yanks have read that thing?
Never in history has there been a picture that sums this administration better
Someone is suffering
Not only does Trump not care but he is outright annoyed
i guess they take it from the best
there is something really funny about it though, i gotta give him credit for that. man honestly dgaf about anyone else lmao
They spent 4 years on Sleepy Joe and we've got real time footage and pictures of Trump sleeping during press conferences. Feels like this should be a better story, but I guess when you own the media you can kinda do whatever. I'm sure Jake Tapper's book in 5 years or whatever will be a banger tho
I would march on Washington right now to demand Schumer's resignation.
I'm curious if the House GOP will pass it. Per CNN:
The deal — which would finally end the longest shutdown in US history — would include a new stopgap measure to extend government funding until January and be tied to a larger package to fully fund several key agencies.
This has gone on so long, are they really going to want to do this again in 6 weeks?
maybe they like the attention
Dems got their asses absolutely handed to them on this
This is an indisputable win for GOP
Schumer can suck cock in hell
Dems got SNAP/WIC funded and federal employee reductions-in-force rescinded per reports.
This just kicks the can for 10 weeks, but at that time, the GOP will have either reneged on their ACA vote or held it and voted "lol no", and premiums will have jumped for everyone enrolled.
This feels like a huge waste of time. It's like saying "This kinda sucks, let's just do it again in two months". What is the point of that?
