#1  Axios reports that Democrats Communists are pushing to force out Senator John Fetterman

FIFY

#2  They will force him in to independent status but still expect his vote. I think that they will be disappointed in the result of this move. Fetterman absolutely does not care about being socially isolated from anyone anywhere and most especially from the Washington crowd. He won’t become a Republican because he despises Lindsey Graham and the slimy RINO corporatists. We agree with him in that point but not on his his liberal policies. Fetterman will effectively become Joe Rogan’s personal Senator.

#3  Could be Fetterman playing a game to switch parties. Being forced out gives him edge to beat a republican contender. PA is a republican state.

#4  Dems get what they deserve with Fetterman. He should have never been put into this position in the first place.

The longer the Senator Chuck Schumer’s shutdown lasts, the more downsizing the Trump administration can accomplish.

#1  Ok No Gov, No pay.
Layoff their staff.
Posted by: NN2N1 || 10/17/2025 3:52 Comments || Top||

#2  The TRO blocks the RIF. There will be an emergency appeal of the TRO. The TRO will be negated. The RIF becomes the negotiation to end the shutdown. The medical coverage for illegals issue is surrenders by the Dems. That is my expectation of how this plays out.
Paying for free medical for illegals as is in sanctuary states like California will crush the state budget because of the quantity of low income illegals those states have collected.

How about a simple law?
ONLY US CITIZENS and VISA workers paying taxes may partake of US TAXPAYER funded services.

In the case of Life or Death situations, prohibiting immediate deportation . ER Treatment yes. Followed by immediate deportation, followed by a BILL or deduction of any Foreign aid given to that country incurred for caring for THEIR Citizen.

Illinois U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis (appointed by Barack Obama) has ordered all federal agents involved in Operation Midway Blitz to wear body cameras
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
… issued a temporary restraining order last week prohibiting federal agents from targeting journalists, not interfering with law enforcement, and barring the use of tear gas or less-lethal munitions against anyone not posing an “immediate threat to safety.”

The Obama appointed judge said today: “I’m a little startled frankly, that since Thursday when I entered the (temporary restraining order) last week, I’m getting images and seeing images on the news, in the paper, reading reports, where at least from what I’m seeing, I’m having serious concerns that my order’s being followed.”

In response, “I am adding that all agents who are operating in Operation Midway Blitz are to wear body-worn cameras, and they are to be on.”

#1  Just like Hezbollah's pagers? Like anybody should obey her and expect to live?

#2  She certainly has an inflated opinion of her powers and authority. Smack her down
Posted by: Frank G || 10/17/2025 3:26 Comments || Top||

#3  This would not work in ANTIFA’s favor. They already have adequate camera footage and can suppress the footage they don’t like. It may be a move to limit the number of agents based on available cameras.

Judges have rules about communication from one side of a suit without the knowledge and presence of lawyers from the other side. These suits seem highly coordinated. In many of them it appears as if the plaintiffs know that the judge is in their side and will grant the TRO before the case is brought. If illegal communication is found regarding all these cases, real impeachment cases ought to be brought.

#4  Kings sit for life and are not accountable to the people. Kings issue fiats and decrees without restrictions. The 'No Kings' protestors are targeting the wrong people. They really do like kings.

#5  "Real impeachment cases"? Since Congress has abdicated its basic function, that's not going to happen.
Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 || 10/17/2025 9:04 Comments || Top||

#6  Congress could, after all, simply abolish the current Ilinois Federal District Court and establish a new one without Judge Sara Ellis. No impeachment necessary. I can dream, can't I?

#7  Wouldn't it be something if the construction crews at The Dork Tower were illegals?

Super Hose is right. Ellis is playing up the crowed by dunking on her own goal.

#8  Frank -

Her power and authority are literally unlimited. She can issue whatever ruling she likes, and there are no consequences. Perhaps she'll be overturned now and then. So what? They can't appeal everything.

#9  She said they need to be worn and on. But she didn’t say recording.

#10  Cameras are great (hen they work).

Storage is a beast.

#4  Sal is worth following.

#5  Make every other country pay an existence tax to the US. Don't pay, stop existing in less than an hour.
Posted by: Silentbrick || 10/17/2025 12:52 Comments || Top||

#6  Might check in with Great Britain about trying to tax Americans without their consent.

Time to introduce the maritime community to the free ride they get from the US Navy protecting the seaways.
