Just a repudiation of the Faggy Massie response to his no vote on the resolution, "they were removing the time to consider from future spending bills to just ram things through!"

In reality, it was suspending the rule until Friday so this could pass and push through to the Senate for pressure:

The fag's grasping at gaping holes that will provide him no pleasure with his jeet butt buddies.

I'm glad people are catching on to Faggy Massie's constant excuses, and he sounded like an emotional bitch today. It's a bad showing when you make me pick Bondi over you.

Massie is really a lazy faggot. He's seriously trying to say that he didn't vote for the SAVE act just because it would have made them vote on an entirely different resolution within 24 hours.
Way to nearly sabotage a good fucking bill just because you don't want to do your job 2 days in a fucking row

Even if this queer weren't lying his ass off, would 24 hours even be enough time to formulate a rebuttal that's gonna convince anyone? Most politicians don't even read the shit they vote on.

Many of those people worked throughout their working lives, have families, earned any benefits they get.

I see the same argument itt wrt the boomers and social security. They paid into the system throughout their working lives (and would have been better off had they been able to invest the same money in the market instead); why shouldn't they receive from the government what they were promised by the government?

Right you are. It was another of those foo fighter incursions.

Voting is not a right and should not ever be considered a right, it is a power. Name me a single other actual right that involves you having power over other people. You don't have the right to make other people listen to you because the 1st, you don't have the right to threaten people because the 2nd. But for some reason everyone should have the power to vote on who wields the monopolized threat of violence that is the state.

You could also just issue people a state voting ID at 18 for free. You could probably cover the cost with a couple of learing centers shut down.

Here's a question for USPG2: have any of you ever been contacted by pollsters? Green checkmark if yes, red X if no. I think I was contacted once but it was a long time ago.

I got a phone survey once and they take about 10-15 minutes.

I've been contacted by pollsters, but after one that was particularly long and repetitive, I tell them I am not interested in participating. After saying that to one pollster, they subsequently mailed me a letter expressing their wish I'd reconsider with a $1 bill presumably intended to sway me. It didn't.

To be fair, the VPL dataglove there runs on the same basic tech as the NES power glove, and contemporary VR gameplay from companies like Virtuality wasn't that much more primitive than what we've seen of the NASA demos.

When this technology was emerging in the mid-90s, a college professor took my classmates and me on a field trip to the nearby large university that had a VR lab. The technology was impressive for the time, but the VR visors and data gloves from what I remember still had lag/latency issues in that they reacted on a slight delay and led to disorientation when someone moved or turned too fast. Granted, technology has improved exponentially since then, but it's probably not as ideal or perfect as some people would like.

Disability fraud needs to be looked into as well, because of how common it is for certain people to doctor shop for a diagnosis. You see legal citizens doing it too, which is still sad, as it does effectively steal money from those who would actually need it (such as people with rare conditions that don’t allow for traditional employment options).

As much as disability fraud needs to be minimized, it will always exist as long as there are unethical health care professionals who shamelessly aid and abet the diagnosis shoppers. Any action against the people collecting benefits fraudulently need to include action against the health care pros behind it as well.

Notwithstanding the above, I agree it's frustrating when people who need benefits can't get them because fraudsters are getting them instead.
