When will the US shutdown end?

[Hanafuda]

Hopefully, it ends with a plan to overthrow the current administration, but that's just wishful thinking. Sadly, nothing ever happens.

Very democratic.

we talking about the shutdown wtf you on about lol

Right, and Adelita Grijalva was supposed to be sworn in to office a week before the shutdown began. Johnson and your pedo-loving party delayed that because they knew they'd intentionally be shutting down the government anyway. 50-50 as to whether the primary motivation is the P2025 playbook or keeping concrete evidence of Trump raping children from seeing the light of day.

What's with the project 2025 talk? Sonic Project 06 isn't even complete yet!

I'm still astounded that in the 2025th year of Our Lord, people still believe in the current state of "democracy".
"the people", the collective, isn't smart enough to rule itself.
Democracy as it is, is a mistake.

We need to think of some better solution.

I don't know which fake news outlet you heard that from, but Johnson used every trick he could to prevent the vote from happening in the first place. Congress went on scheduled recess for a month, and then they delayed swearing in the new congresswoman until they could shutdown the government.

Very democratic.

Is this to imply I am a democrat? Because I am not. Is this to say that I believe in democracy? I do, but our system isn’t a democracy

I get asked this a lot since the star wars prequels featured a democracy with an elected queen and a senator who wants democracy to resume in a republic . Bonus points that their senate can function economically in a war vs. the banking clan and trade federation that just left them entirely, alongside the techno union that can at least pretend to protect worker's compensation rights from abusive members of the republic ; there goes all of your funding.

I can hardly stop laughing. This is even funnier than those nineteen nineties pseudo-coding films talking about flexing the maximum teraflops to hybridize the maiximum adjacenator or whatever nonsense they had.

I'm sorry, but someone wages a civil war and they control all of the banks, all trade routes with amazon, the panama canal, etc. _and_ worker's rights alongside most weapon machinery and factories, the other side is likely done, lol!

"Mr _, is this country a democracy or a republic?"
Me: "And to the _republic_"
"Ah, I see. But what is the difference?"
Me: "Well, democracy can basically be mob rule, a republic has elected officials to represent us. Technically this is conisdered a democratic republic. Please disregard all governmental terms in star wars the same way you should ignore Disney's hercules for greek mythology lessons."

It's not all that far disconnected from our reality, Lucas wrote Star Wars as an allegory for the Vietnam war and the Nixon administration.

The terms he used though is reason enough to laugh! Former elected queen amidala, serving as a senator in a democracy where the trade federation, the banking clans, most factories, etc. all left them...it's just so funny!

"and here we have the hypothermase conducitivium that will be used to cure type III Y diabetes by means of the heinz maneuver, after we conglusemate the reciprocal of the triangular inverse. But the elite engineers must first build a home with a buzzsaw so that the archaeologists can go on a trip to mars."

Well he had to jazz it up with sci-fi stuff of course, but it does make sense that individual planets would also have their own forms of government in addition to whatever interplanetary alliances/groupings there might be. Amidala was queen of her own planet, not the universe or anything.

Yeah, but it was sio bibble that said "we are a democracy" when speaking about naboo. No wonder he's a philosopher type: just like thales who said blood-letting cures diseases.

who put that guy in charge? Sheesh no wonder Anakin was frustrated with the senate.

 

[Xzi]

Yeah, but it weas sio bibble that said "we are a democracy" when speaking about naboo.

Fair enough. The political dialogue was always the most boring part of Star Wars anyway, up until Andor at least. You could also justify it away by saying "queen/king" is just another name for president on their world, but yeah.
