HERE WE GO! Texas Democrats Launch MASSIVE Assault on Second Amendment Just DAYS After Historic Election Sweep — Nearly 20 Gun Control Bills Filed on FIRST DAY, Including Firearm Bans, Red Flag Orders, and Private Sale Restrictions!
But muh Iran War and gas prices. Honestly though, I’m going to enjoy cramming this shite sandwich down bitch arse repubs throats. I want them to taste every inch of shite they voted for.
The height required to cast a shadow 4,000 feet away depends on the angle of the sun above the horizon.

Assuming both objects are on level ground, here are the approximate heights needed for the shadow to reach 4,000 feet:

Sun’s angle above horizon

Required object height

5° 350 feet

10° 705 feet

15° 1,072 feet

20° 1,456 feet

30° 2,309 feet

45° 4,000 feet

60° 6,928 feet

Essentially the shadow cast if any would be very briefly early in the morning. That doesn’t account for differences in land elevation and other objects such as trees

According to the Washington Post’s shadow analysis,

18 days annually: The shadow would briefly cross JFK’s eternal flame.
50 days annually: The shadow would touch portions of the Kennedy Memorial.
284 days annually: The shadow would reach some portion of Arlington National Cemetery.

Whatever the case may be, we are talking mere minutes not a permanent shadow.

The more I look at a map the more I’m convinced the Kennedy’s haven’t been to the memorial in quite a while. In front of the memorial is the women’s military memorial, and then on up the street is the proposed site of the Arch. My estimate of a couple miles high to cast a shadow on the Kennedy memorial may have been too conservative:lol:
Here’s a link to the map.

No, I believe they are referring to the graves and the eternal flame at JFK's grave. They are all in-ground graves.


I just went and looked. Trumps arch would need to be 2 miles high to cast a shadow on it. :lol:

saying the giant structure would cast a shadow over the Kennedy family’s memorial at Arlington


Of no, not a shadow. :lol:

Just curious but does the Kennedy monument also cast a shadow?
There is no filibuster in the constitution. The framers did not design a system that handcuffed the party in power in perpetuity. The senate is allowed to set its own rules including rules to close debate, but there is nothing in the constitution that declares you need anything more than a simple majority to pass legislation. It is asinine that Repubs have hid behind a procedural rule for 2 years. They have the power to change it.

Lol, the GOP didn't learn a fricking thing from last week.


Why would they? There’s a multitude of moronic repubs that took the bait they laid out for two years and then kneecapped Trump last week.

Why would you keep rewarding the people spitting in your face?


Let’s see, probably because the alternative of getting bent over and long dicked by the crazy Dems is a lot less appealing. :dunno:

You might want to pay attention. Dems are bricked up on gas station dick hard pills, and they’re letting you know they’re fresh out of lube.

People like you always expect everyone else to change. frick you.


As per usual this is why great conservative ideas go nowhere. It’s always your way or the highway and a frick you when you don’t get your way. There’s a reason why the usual suspects are always yapping but never accomplish anything. Burning bridges politically, socially or professionally is not the principled negotiating tactic you think it is.

I mean wtf have these ppl been doing the last 24mnths


Coming up with daily excuses as why the filibuster rule is more important than doing the work of the people
You have a better chance of getting an ice cold beer in hell than John Thune actually doing some work.

This is hilarious coming from someone openly bragging about knifing the party and gladly doing it again. This is why many “conservatives” can’t build coalitions around otherwise good ideas. You alienate the very people you need to advance your agenda forward because the moment you don’t get YOUR way you throw in with Dems. You dumbasses have never figured out how to eat an elephant one bite at a time. You demand your colleagues eat the entire elephant at once, and when they refuse you set the kitchen on fire so no one can eat. Then you have the nerve to lecture them that it’s their fault you burned the damn building down.
And when repubs sue her to stop it, Dems will campaign on repubs wanting to raise your energy prices

Great job republican voters. This is how you stick it to Trump for Iran

The George Bush wing sold you out. There were plenty of Bush loyal repubs campaigning for Dems or endorsing Dems in the run up to the election.

No tricks needed. The yellow wing of the Republican Party takes their ball and goes home at the slightest bit of adversity.

This isn't new. They did this in 2020 when they stayed home for the GA runoff, giving up 2 crucial seats to the dems


And they have never stopped whining about Georgia turning blue. I think we need to start calling the white flag republicans

At what point in the last 9 months did you say to yourself, Boy that Trump guy is making all the right moves and is doing everything he can, above board and in good faith, to ensure at least the Senate stays red and he doesn't become a 2-yr lame duck?


You know what I didn’t do? Bend over and offer up my arse to Dems. You coward arse repubs did.

Let’s see, you fricked Trump and repubs at the ballot box, opened up the gates to numerous red states and it’s all Trump’s fault? You wanted this, and you will eat every last crumb of this shite sandwich.
