[04:34] IsambardPrince Once again the State got us for almost 16 times more than the feds did. [04:39] IsambardPrince There's going to be hell to pay if Trump cuts off State grant money.

[04:40] IsambardPrince SALT is State and Local Tax. [04:40] IsambardPrince So if State income taxes have to go up to offset the loss of federal grants, then people can deduct those higher state taxes off their federal returns.

[22:37] IsambardPrince States like Illinois and New York tend not to get huge natural disasters and have more money to deal with one themselves. [22:38] IsambardPrince Without FEMA, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico States are going to be in deep shit during hurricane seasons where they can get hit 2-3 times in one go. [22:38] IsambardPrince They don't have the money to clean up. The insurance companies have either abandoned them or charge more than the mortgage. [22:39] MinceR and then florida's going to go underwater [22:40] MinceR though humanity will probably be extinct by then anyway [22:44] IsambardPrince I've always said we should abolish FEMA. [22:44] IsambardPrince So I agree with Trump on something. [22:45] IsambardPrince Let all of those States that voted for him, get another hurricane every week, and have no money suffer for it. [22:45] IsambardPrince Maybe when they get tired of being whacked upside the head with no help coming, they'll pay attention. [22:46] IsambardPrince Thatcher said eventually with Socialism you run out of other people's money, but that's actually what WILL happen to Florida under Trump if he abolishes FEMA. [22:47] MinceR it will always be other people's fault anyway [22:47] MinceR according to them [22:47] IsambardPrince People everywhere else have to pay taxes so these people can rebuild every month. [22:47] MinceR also, one of those hurricanes should wash mar-a-lago into the ocean [22:48] IsambardPrince MinceR, I also think we should rename FEMA if we keep it. The Last of Us called it FEDRA. I like that name. [22:48] nobody "eventually with Socialism you run out of other people's money" [22:48] nobody how's that different to capitalism? [22:48] IsambardPrince The government contingency plan for continuity of government called for evacuating survivors of the spore plague into safe zones and killing any infected who got near the Zone.

So in addition to renaming it "FEDRA", I think we should fire most people who work there and turn it into a block grant of money for State disaster response agencies, with conditions on how the money is used of course. So that Republicans don't get disaster money and use it to fund tax cuts on rich people, and football stadiums, like what happened with the COVID relief program. [22:58] -G-Hello folks!

[23:08] IsambardPrince The Republicans have more or less moved on from gay rights. They're definitely less supportive but they've mostly gotten over that. [23:09] IsambardPrince They're foaming at the mouth on transgenders, and if we don't get away from that, there's definitely going to be problems for us. [23:10] MinceR there are no republicans [23:10] MinceR also, once the nazis have killed all the transgenders, the gays are next [23:11] IsambardPrince Well, the trannies put themselves into databases. [23:11] IsambardPrince Like the "X" passports that are now being invalidated. [23:12] IsambardPrince Right now, nobody knows if you'll be able to travel on an "X" passport, and if you do, you may be trapped outside of the country as it gets canceled. [23:13] IsambardPrince The State Department said Stop Work on the applications in process where the person chose "X" for Gender. [23:13] IsambardPrince So you're going to lose the filing fee and hve your application canceled. [23:14] IsambardPrince They know who is transgender just by looking at anyone who picked "X" on government documents or changed the gender marker. [23:14] IsambardPrince They can also have the FDA revoke approval for drugs and hormones to be used for transgender stuff so they can't get those anymore. [23:15] IsambardPrince I can think of about a million ways the federal government can get into the lives of trannies and make them uniquely horrible. [23:15] MinceR nazis could find gays last century. what makes you think they won't be able to do it this century? [23:15] IsambardPrince Just by changing some regulations around. [23:15] IsambardPrince Sure they can. [23:15] IsambardPrince IBM helped them track which gays they murdered. [23:15] MinceR especially if the bugmen help them [23:16] IsambardPrince ICE apparently arrested 593 illegal immigrants yesterday. [23:16] IsambardPrince They're going about twice as fast as they were in September. [23:16] IsambardPrince And encounters with CBP at the southern border are half of what they were last month. [23:16] IsambardPrince It's going to get a lot harder to get in. [23:17] IsambardPrince There's a large military and CBP presence down there now, and the wall will continue being built. [23:17] IsambardPrince People know they won't be allowed to stay and they certainly won't be allowed to file for anything. [23:18] IsambardPrince Eventually almost nobody will be trying to get in, and the deportation ops will probably be upwards of 1,000 arrests per day. [23:19] IsambardPrince Immigration is not really that much of a stretch for ATF and DEA and US Marshals Office.

[23:20] IsambardPrince This border buildup is going to massively fuck up the flow of drugs. [23:20] IsambardPrince The easy route gets a lot harder. [23:21] IsambardPrince MinceR, It makes me laugh whenever someone says Trump will "call in the calvalry [sic]" to deal with something. [23:21] MinceR i bet the important people can just fly over the border(s) and buy drugs [23:21] MinceR or have someone do it for them [23:22] IsambardPrince I say something like "What does crucifying Christ have to do with this?" [23:22] MinceR lol [23:22] psydruid Spojen stty u nejsou pls spojen [23:23] psydruid Duolingo just taught me that [23:24] MinceR :) [23:24] MinceR might as well call it nazi america instead [23:26] psydruid indeed [23:26] TR News (NEW): Shotcut 25.01 Video Editor Adds Native Wayland Support on Flatpak for Linux https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/25/Shotcut_25_01_Video_Editor_Adds_Native_Wayland_Support_on_Flatp.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/01/25/Shotcut_25_01_Video_Editor_Adds_Native_Wayland_Support_on_Flatp.gmi [23:26] TR Bot Tux Machines Shotcut 25.01 Video Editor Adds Native Wayland Support on Flatpak for Linux [23:31] -G-OK Folks!

And we're done! Thank you for your patience. [23:38] MinceR there could be a blood transfusion or something [23:44] IsambardPrince MinceR, Symbolic though it is.... [23:44] IsambardPrince They put the State flag up for a vote. [23:45] IsambardPrince I voted to remove the Union Shield from our State flag and replace it with one star and three blue lines on a white canvas. [23:45] MinceR do they have an option with a swastika on yet? [23:45] IsambardPrince It's symbolism, MinceR [23:46] IsambardPrince There's no reference to the federal government or the other States on that flag. [23:46] IsambardPrince So that's the one I chose.
