Are you a Star Wars fan? Or are you a Disney fan?

@GPCBackwards @FaultyMotivator Most likely insurance and liability reasons.

@FaultyMotivator That's a valid scenario. Was not aware / had not thought of that. It could very well be a requirement for taxes or something similar. Prevents liars defrauding the system.

I'd take the lot and combine as many good legs into whole chairs.

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

@ObsidianGoose I got a shotgun, rifle and a four wheel drive…

Why do you think the government wants to keep the airports under funded and understaffed. They need a distraction. Watch the skies

@DK_Able The parliamentarian who is Democrat

Thune never wanted to pass voter ID.

@Variety YouTubers are using AI to make better Star Wars than Disney that’s their issue.

OpenAI pulling the plug on Sora may have been a blessing in disguise for Disney: • While Bob Iger likely saw major upside, fans weren’t exactly eager to see the Avengers or “Frozen” characters filtered through a generative AI tool • Internally, some Disney execs feared the deal could risk its IP turned into AI-generated “slop,” per sources • Hollywood unions were already pushing back, with the WGA warning the partnership would “cede the value of what we create to a tech company” variety.com/2026/digital/n…

@LadyTano501st I believe many journalists were “fired” in order to infiltrate the podcast/influencer industry. The message and divide must not be ignored

Aligning with Tucker Carlson is one of the most retarded political strategies one could adopt in the U.S. Ordinary blue voters see Tucker as an antisemite. Ordinary red voters see Tucker as an Islamist (and therefore also an antisemite).

@MasteroftheTDS I’m tired. Just so tired of this whole thing

This image is cursed.

@TheMobRules73 I love the Monkees and their music

Today in music history: 1968--After 58 episodes, the final Monkees TV show aired on NBC in the United States. Since its initial run, almost every major cable network has aired re-runs of the show, including a popular stint on CBS from 1969-1972.

Perfect summation

@RyteSideUp You summed it up perfectly

This really blew up. I think this is where I’d plug a podcast or a substack if I had one? But y’all are awesome.

Star Trek through the years- TOS: “Hey, this really diverse group of people is really good at their jobs. It’s something to aspire to.” TNG/VOY/DS9: “Hey, this really diverse group of people, which even includes old enemies, is really good at their jobs. It’s something to aspire to.” ENT: “These people that are brand new at this job are good at it, and they’re good at getting a diverse group of people to work together to do it. It’s something to aspire to.” NuTrek: “This group of idiots is really diverse, and that’s okay, because they’re so diverse!” Can we please understand why one of these is being rejected by fans of the franchise?

@JanetFromAnoth9 lol. Islam…

@MasterBCW Disgusting!

How is a nine-year-old supposed to be consenting to something when she has no idea what any of it means answer that?

@ObsidianGoose They always seem to die of old age before it hits

Oh yeah consequences will hit any day now

@ChaiQuest1 @LadyTano501st I hate Hollywood with a passion. They seem to be incapable of making good choices

@MasterBCW @LadyTano501st Or maybe they have mermaids in it (kidding I’m not hoping for that)

@ObsidianGoose The left needs a global war

Ok I'll ask Why were our tax dollars EVER going to the Taliban in the first place?

@AzzurraS4 If I were to make movies. I think it would be movie 1 the founding of Gondolin. Movie 2 the glory of Gondolin with battles against Melkor. Movie 3 the fall of gondolin. Movie 4 the refugees and aftermath.

Sam's daughter?😏😏😏😏😏😏 wth?? Girl power again? NOOOOO #RespectForTolkien

@ObsidianGoose The goal is for you to not trust anything but what the news tells you

We're in a reality where either we have to believe Israel hired a freak boffing furvert to dome Charlie or that the furry did it himself and I'm not genuinely sure which is the correct answer anymore

@ObsidianGoose I’ll need to do more research

Gotta go with Yvonne
