At least Trump broke the record though. It was the biggest shutdown. Huge.
The best!
Everyone is saying it was a beautiful shutdown.

Pennies are now collectables.
Will no one think of the penny press machine makers?
all coins are going to be collectibles as will all bills. Get a stash and put it in a time capsule for your grandchildren.
They are going to be collectibles the same way Confederate bills are collectibles. Value in collectibles is a function of rarity and the average US coin or bill is not even remotely rare. A tiny handful of specific ones may end up valuable. If you doubt this go look at the prices for common, non-precious metal, Roman coins.
(((Jarflax:
One difference with pennies, they’re already worth more than face value in metal. Even now, they’re worth more melted down than used as currency, so if the price of copper continues to rise, it’s possible they’ll be worth more in the future.
Modern pennies are like 97% zinc, so doubt the price of copper will effect my jars and jars of pennies.
pre 82 maybe, I suspect the post 82 ones would cost more than the copper value to separate it from the zinc
How dare you disrespect zinc!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWpPrWHBHcQ
As a long term investment commodities other than the precious metals tend to lose value over time. This is the lesson of the Ehrlich/Simon bet. Now, they lose value slower than the dollar does, so they might be a hedge, but there are better hedges than copper you have to re-refine to make usable.
Coins have an intrinsic metals value that paper money never will. I still look for 1964 and older coins (1969 for half and dollar coins, but never see those outside of Vegas) since dimes and up were still silver then.
Dumbest decision of this gov’t.
Throwing down the gauntlet?
Sure, why not.
Along with the video that NA post just down from this, it is the path of destroying physical currency, thus creating a necessary digital currency, with is the strongest, and most sure, path to totalitarianism.
We all bitched and moaned about debanking, and this is one more step toward our society being susceptible to such outside forces destroying the money supply, creating a social credit system, and disallowing our personal purchases if they become unacceptable to certain social classes.
Yes, they cost more to make than they are worth. So what? That is not the value of money with fiat currency. Should they be pegged to a gold or some such standard? Yes, and here we are, further devaluing the money supply in that wake.
Mandatory cashlessness might be avoidable, but even with physical currency, it’s now possible for a government to freeze badthinkful people out of the economy.
Dumbest decision of this gov’t.
Now that’s a take.
Yes, they can NA. But why give them even more incentives and methods?
And, CPA, the only thing dumber in my eyes would to be the removal of parking lots.

Base metal coin melt value calculator.
I’ve known nickels are worth more for their metal value than their face value. I’ve got a stash.
Interestingly I found a silver nickel in my change one day.
So all those pennies, nickels and dimes I tried to collect as a kid are now worthless in buying power. I remember well penny candy, nickle candy bars (which I rarely got ’cause I rarely had a nickle). Nut Goodies were a dime, forget that.

Those days are long gone but the memories linger on…
I had some silver nickles (and steel pennies) in my coin collection as a kid till Meth Nephew found them. So glad I bought him some meth at face value with them. He didn’t even share.
I distinguish silver coins more by clink than by sight.
“How I love that beautiful sound!”
Make nickels nickel again.
The penny should be solid copper so our currency has at least some basis in a commodity.
there was a time . . . .
I still have a silver certificate tucked away in a drawer.
I save Cu pennies. Don’t know if I should bother.

I do not believe it is even vaguely possible that there is anything in “The Epstein Files” that would embarrass OMB, let alone damage him in his second term.
I know that politicians can be surprisingly retarded. But even with that, I don’t understand why actual politicos are making a big deal about it (as opposed to the media(tm) which says whatever they’re told to. Seriously, NPRs coverage of “the emails” has been the most disgraceful thing I’ve witnessed form them.)
The only thing that makes sense is that there’s a new forgery going to be slipped into the document dump?
That’s a pretty high (or low) bar for NPR.
Srsly. They are all in on pretending this is brand-new, just-released scandalous information. They even brought on a (D) critter to get all weepy about bringing justice to the victims.
When propaganda drifts into the theatrical.
If Trump was in there diddling kids, it would have been released years ago.
There probably was all kinds of dirt on other powerful people and Intel assets.
The stupid shit Trump said the other day is far more damaging than anything in those files.
^
They are making big noise because they see a chance to grandstand.
Low risk, high reward.
What? You don’t believe there is a trove of evidence that Trump did the one thing that would immediately turn his supporters against him in the collection of documents that has been in the control of his political enemies for years, without such evidence being leaked? Unpossible! Surely there is a giant red folder marked Trump Rape Photos in there!
I was surprised that the unmasked person that the Dems re-redacted wasnt labeled TRUMP RAPE VICTIM in those emails…
re-redacted
I’m sensing a cartoon moment between redactions and unmaskings.
“I’m sensing a cartoon moment between redactions and unmaskings.”
So, what, we all run around with bags over our heads and assless chaps on?
No, it was more like Daffy and Bugs going back and forth on redacting something.
Are there another kind of chaps that aren’t assless? Aren’t those just leather pants at that point?
Zack knows how to partay!
“Are there another kind of chaps that aren’t assless? Aren’t those just leather pants at that point?”
Look who is an assless chaps expert!
I do think there is at least a small possibility of inserting a forgery because that’s something that aready happened. I don’t know if any of you were following it at the time, but there’s this AGW huckster named Peter Gleick, and he got a hold of some documents from… the Heritage Foundation? (IIRC). He leaked them to a friendly media outlet and somehow there was this red-hot damning document in that trove that just happened to be fraudulent.
Massie gave some interviews on the discharge petition.
He said in the interviews that he thinks there is nothing in there to implicate Trump in criminal activity. If there was, it would have been used already.
Massie said in those interviews that some very powerful people are names in the files and Trump, for reasons unknown, feels the need to protect them.
O’Keefe got, with O’Keefe’s usual honeyport/hidden camera trick, a DoJ guy saying that Trump isn’t implicated in crimes in the files. The DoJ denied the guy had worked for the DoJ at any point when he would have had access to the Epstein files. Usual disclaimers about O’Keefe.
I agree with previous thoughts that the shadow powers have threatened Trump, they allow him to do a few things but nothing that will seriously destabilize their grip on us. If congress releases it he is off the hook. Who knows? History may prove me wrong.

Federal Government Shutdown – The End
Well the time has come when the halting of governmental services in which no services were halted has come to an end.
While I missed out on an eight week vacation and took an approved leave, I was deemed unpatriotic and will most likely be flogged for daring to engage in normal life.
As the furloughed trickle back to work, telling stories as if they were Captain Nemo exploring the seas I wonder just what is it I do here.
So that is that. I cannot parody or provide any satirical comment to what the past 40 days or so.

I was able to watch Ian McCollum’s video on the Rideout Arsenal Dragon posted here (by Pie?) yesterday:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ7RdSgGeMA
The thing about this that make me happy starts at 13:39 — the granularity to which it can be broken down. The thing that made the AR platform so successful is that it’s a set of specs that lets designers play to their heart’s content and as long as the part’s interface is within tolerances, you’ll have a functioning firearm. This seems like that, only even moreso.
The Epstein files are a dud. There is nothing there that implicates Trump but not doubt a lot of powerful people are.
I only half paid attention: Is congress going to hold some kind of vote to release/not release the whole file?
I bet the dems kill it…if it all comes out they cant use it anymore.
Alright, so the House votes to the release the files. Then what happens? Anything at all? Or is this just more Congress evading its actual responsibilities?
Yes
I didnt know congress could do that. I have no idea what bullshit is going on but I do know that if there was anything in there it would have been released already by the Biden puppet.
My guess? There is a lot of damning info in there but so much that if it all came out so many people would be damned that the govt would stop functioning. We will never see the full files or videos.
The House vote is, I think, scheduled for after Thanksgiving.
It goes over to the Senate.
It is a resolution. It allows for limited redactions. Being a resolution, it does not require the president’s signature. Poking around, I see no enforcement in the resolution.
My guess is, it dies in the Senate.
I didnt know congress could do that.
Congress has oversight over the Executive. Congress writes the rules.
Congress is going to have to be willing to impeach and remove people from office. But I think that won’t matter as I think it will die in the Senate.
‘limited’
‘no enforcement in the resolution’
‘willing to impeach and remove’. *looks at federal bench*
‘dies in the sentate’
My wildass guess is that a good many people involved in this ‘resolution’ are in those file and it is more dems than R’s but mostly people who donate to the people voting on the resolution.
We are never going to see it.
Remember the double armloads of boxes taken from Epstein island by the FBI? Where are those videos?
This stinks worse than the warehouse with several million frozen chickens a month after Katrina.
limited redactions
Narrator: The pages will be half blacked out.
Congress has oversight over the Executive.
That is not included in Article 1. The three branches are in fact co-equal.
It has oversight in impeachment and advice and consent….
So yes, it does.
The power of impeachment is oversight, Congress is the initiating branch in terms of legislation and funding. The Executive is supposed to be the practical day to day government, but it is intended to govern by implementing the laws Congress passes, using funds Congress appropriates. The Courts are the most limited, their primary power of being the final arbiter of Constitutionality is self awarded not contained in the Constitution, they were primarily intended to mediate disputes among the States. The Founders were not primarily concerned with making the branches co-equal but with preventing overreach by any of them, hence the most powerful branch Congress, had deliberate internal checks not present in the other branches.
I see OBE and Jarflax beat me to it.
Im with Jarflax on this. One failure of civics education was teaching everyone that the branches were equal in power. They arent.
Impeachment and advise and consent for cabinet positions does not equal being able to order the executive to do things, or conduct day to day management or control of executive functions. Unless they think they can impeach and convict based on refusal of the president to follow orders, which is not a case of “high crimes and misdemeanors”.
I thought maybe I missed something, so I went back and re-read Article 1. Nope, nothing in there about oversight of the executive.
What is your definition of oversight then?
Congress exercises oversight all the time over Executive level agencies when they go before Congress to report on their business.
Oversite is not, in this context, power over as in the control, but, rather, the power to check overreaching impulses. Thus Congress gets a check on who is deemed appropriate for the judiciary (advise and consent), and whether or not a presidents actions are an over-stepping of is powers (impeachment). The president gets to make the final decision on whether a law is passed (veto power) but cannot create a law. And the judiciary cannot choose its own members, but they must be put forward by the president, and approved by congress. And in turn they can declare eithers actions illegal.
And as for the judiciary only being to arbitrate between states, it also has always been able to arbitrate the federal gov’t. The current set of powers, as far as federal judges go, may not be explicit in black letter, but are implicit in the reach provided by the constitution.
I am not a lawyer.
Oversight does not require the ability to dictate each action someone takes, we are not talking about a slaver’s overseer here. The ability to punish malfeasance, and the ability to advise and consent to appointments is absolutely within the definition of the word oversight. If any member of the other branches misbehaves Congress has the authority to remove them, that is oversight. The president has to have the Senate’s approval to appoint his chief officers, and judges, that is oversight.
You are playing a motte and bailey game here by switching to a very restrictive definition of oversight when the actual oversight mechanisms are listed for you.
Motte and bailey isn’t just for Progressives.
Powerful names? If I had to bet who is near the top of the list that Trump feels a need to protect, I’d be betting on the Andrew formerly known as Prince.
Ƭ̵̬̊
The whole thing is bullshit. All the people calling for “justice for the victims” want what exactly? You can’t punish the dead.
They are never going to release what they want, which is evidence that shows Epstein worked for Mossad.
So Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself, but he did kill Charlie Kirk.
There is a huge overlap there. The podcasters most concerned about Epstein are the same ones suggesting Israel was behind Kirk’s assassination.
The whole websearch thing sounds like bullshit. They wouldn’t use a VPN? I don’t even know if those graphs are real.
The Founding Fathers established a series of checks and balances to impede Government overreach. The same mechanisms provide easy ways for individuals in the Government to posture while avoiding the responsibility of taking action, which would be fine except that Congress has unconstitutionally delegated its power to the Executive branch, the Courts have approved that delegation, and gone further by denying the President the power to override the rules his own subordinates make under the delegated powers. This leaves us governed by bureaucrats, while the system of checks and balances the Constitution created performs theater to distract us.

We had just a bit of heavy cream left over this morning, so I am adding it to the morning coffee. I like it, but I feel that my Man Card is in jeopardy for not drinking coffee black.
As a kid, we bought milk directly from our neighbors. After a night in our fridge, the cream had risen to the top and we would scoop it out and into another container. I miss having cream around all the time.
I also remember being so embarrassed when a city kid would visit and ask about the small leftover clots of cream in the milk.
Heavy cream in coffee is wonderful. As for your man card, Winston Wolf took his coffee with lots of cream and sugar…
Sugar in coffee should be reserved for children and women only. If bitterness is a problem salt’s the way to go.
Salt in coffee?!
The gunner who ran our section in the Marines always added a pinch of salt to the coffee.
I never noticed any difference, but as a Lance Coolie, I wasn’t about to argue.
Salt in coffee was a Navy thing, wasn’t it?
Salt will cut the bitterness of cheap or poorly roasted coffee.
Heavy cream should be floated on top of coffee that’s already had some sugar and Irish whiskey added to it.
Heavy cream is good in coffee with or without booze.
We started using heavy cream in our coffee when we were eating Keto, and we’ve stuck to it. Way better than milk or half and half.
Coffee is black. Just like my lungs used to be, and my heart still is.

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history is officially over after President Trump signed a bill passed by Congress on Wednesday night.
The federal government is reopening. But after 43 days on pause, things may not return to business as usual right away. For instance, federal workers are still awaiting backpay and air travel disruptions are expected to linger.
Where is our magic reset button?
It dosent work unless you actually turn it all off.
I’m curious why federal workers would be getting back pay for a period in which no work was being done…

Roughly 1.4 million federal workers have gone without pay for six weeks. Roughly half of them were required to keep working without paychecks, while hundreds of thousands of others were furloughed.
Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, told agency heads to direct furloughed employees to return to work Thursday.
“Agencies should take all necessary steps to ensure that offices reopen in a prompt and orderly manner” on Thursday, Vought wrote in a Wednesday memo.
The timing of backpay is a different question.
They are the real victims. We must honor their noble sacrifice.
Six weeks is more than enough time to ding another job.

Shocking revelations
Epstein repeatedly ripped Trump’s business practices in the emails and called him “dirty.”
After attorney and former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler sent Epstein a link to a New York Times op-ed that referenced former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, Epstein responded, “you see, I know how dirty donald is. My guess is that non lawyers ny biz people have no idea. What it means to have your fixer flip.”
In another email, Epstein accused Trump of using financial shenanigans to outbid him on a property.
“He has no money when he buys the house,” he wrote in a February 2019 email to Wolff.
“His biz model is putting his name on a real estate development and gets a fee for using his name. The hotel biz is just that,” Epstein wrote.

In a February 2017 exchange with Epstein, Ruemmler called Trump “so gross.”
“Worse in real life and upclose,” Epstein responded.
In a separate 2017 exchange with an unidentified person, Epstein said of Trump, “your world does not understand how dumb he really is. he will blame everyone around him. for bad results.”
The same old shit people have been saying about him since the seventies. They’ve got him now.
In a Dec. 2018 text exchange with Epstein, someone whose name was redacted in the documents wrote, “It will all blow over! They’re really just trying to take down Trump and doing whatever they can to do that…!”
“yes thx. its wild. because i am the one able to take him down,” Epstein responded.
While the exchange provides no context, it occurred during Trump’s first term as president and roughly six months or so before FBI agents arrested Epstein in New Jersey on the federal sex trafficking charges.
We can all fill in the blanks.
Epstein had the tapes of the Russian hookers pissing?
Doesn’t necessarily pertain to pedo stuff though. Old Jeffrey was involved in all kinds of shady shit from arms dealing to money laundering and god only knows what else.
All starting to sound like a scorned lover
Two types of men:
1. Those who fear having to fight a home intruder naked

I think the .357 in my hand is more concern than my junk to a home invader.
One night I got woken up by a loud bang downstairs. I got up, got my pistol (a 9mm), and went downstairs. I was sleeping naked and didn’t put on any clothes.
The loud bang? Some stained glass decorations I had hanging on the glass of my back deck door came loose and fell onto the wood floor. I was a bit sad.
I’m technically not naked if I have my plate carrier on…
In 2011, Epstein forwarded an email to “the Duke” that had been sent on to him about a story the Mail on Sunday had been working on, with Giuffre coming forward with her claims about the prince.
“What? I don’t know any of this. How are you responding?” Epstein said he’d just gotten the request for comment and asked “g lawyers to send a letter.” “Im not sure how to respond, the only person she didn’t have sex with was Elvis,” Epstein said of Giuffre.
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny.

Damn, that brings back memories. One of my brothers had that exact car with the same gold paint. Wish he had kept it and restored it properly. He bought it back in the 90’s when such vehicles were cheap.
Guy tried to trade me one for my 59 Chevy panel years ago.
I thought the caddie was boring and said no.
My girlfriend has a ’67 deVille convertible. The thing is a beast and classy as hell.
I’d rather have the Jaguar.
Crazypants
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) went after Democrats “celebrating” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who has been at odds with her party in recent weeks, calling her “crazypants.”

Greene recently put most of the blame for rising health premiums on her party, claiming Republicans should have earlier reformed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and expiring tax credits.
Outrageous.
