Not going to lie — I’ve built some consensus for an idea before by providing free pizza and making co-workers come to me for it. Smart move, McCarthy.

well it would also effect staffers as well
and there was the whole story about Maxwell Frost who was having a hard time finding an apartment in DC due to bad credit even with his future earnings

I believe I read it also effects the page's student loan relief/tuition assistance or something like that.

all aboard the GOP clown-car:
ROUND 1:
Jeffries (D) 212 votes
McCarthy (R) 203
Andy Biggs (R) 10 (nominated by Gosar)
Nine lawmakers supported none of the three hats in the ring
ROUND 2:
Jeffries (D) 212 (no change)
McCarthy (R) 203 (no change)
Jordan (R) 19 (new candidate)
ROUND 3:
Jeffries (D) 212 (no change)
McCarthy (R) 202 (-1)
Jordan (R) 20 (+1)
voting suspended for today. rumors that scalise will throw his hat in for R4.
Dems are in a rock-solid array (crystalline?).
this morning, trump made a plea for repubs to support mccarthy. result:
FOURTH round:
Jeffries (D) - 212
McCarthy (R) - 201
Donalds (R) - 20
Present - 1
FIFTH round:
identical to fourth round. IDENTICAL. hey kevin, maybe this isn't working? time for something else?
boobert just called for trump to tell mccarthy to step aside... honey, i need to talk to you about unka donald... he's not who he claims to be (anymore)
sixth round incoming.
heard a GOP'er on NPR this morning saying he didn't care that this infighting makes them look bad, because he saw the damage as temporary. voters will have forgotten all of this by 2024, "and they'll remember all our upcoming legislative successes". awfully optimistic of him thinking this group can agree on legislation.

a right-winger claiming to have evidence that supports their accusations, and threatening to release it "soon"? so this means it's totally going to happen, right??

McCarthy has given away all the power of the speakership - why is he still fighting for a pile of nothing? can anyone explain how the following isn't going to happen within a month:
1. GOP puts forth some legislation that the ultraMAGA wing doesn't like (ex: a budget that isn't extreme enough for them)
2. per McCarthy's giveaway, any 1 member can call for a vote of no-confidence in the Speaker
3. all 212 Dems, plus at least 6 MAGAts, vote "NEXT!"
4. we're right back where we are now, except no Kevin. eventually someone emerges with the gavel.
5. go back to step 1.
is being speaker for a week worth all this, kevin?

Galen Metzger @GalenMetzger1 (https://twitter.com/GalenMetzger1/status/1611450218893172742)
Remember that after the Speaker vote, the House has to approve a rules package - and moderate Rs have talked about teaming with dems to shoot down affirmative action for the Freedom Caucus.
Quite possible that the fight over rules goes on much longer than the fight over speaker
"affirmative action" in this case refers to guaranteed membership on certain committees, i.e. what McCarthy had to give to the MAGAts to get their votes. so, new scenario:
1. Enough MAGAts get on board with McCarthy and he's elected speaker.
2. House moves on to voting on the rules, which contain clauses by the non-MAGAt GOPers and the Dems to exclude some/all MAGAts from committees.
3. per McCarthy's giveaway, a/some/all MAGAts call for a vote of no-confidence in the Speaker
3. all 212 Dems, plus at least 6 MAGAts, vote "NEXT!"
4. we're right back where we are now, except no Kevin. eventually someone emerges with the gavel.
5. go back to step 1.

At not point we’re they within 7 feet of each other nor did it look like anyone was going to hit someone. Rogers said something he shouldn’t and someone literally covered his mouth and redirected him away. He wasn’t advancing on Gaetz menacingly or anything. This is so overblown.

They are not stupid at all but they are unethical and counting on the American people being largely stupid equating this with what Trump did. It’s the new thing - well since Trump - throw a lot of shit out there and see what sticks and if it doesn’t at least it creates misinformation, confusion and division.

I can't believe it's even a question if Diane should run again, she'll be 91 in 2024
In or around 2010 I was asked by my then boss if DiFi would run again in 2012....
"Sir, I just can't see it. She'll be turning 80 the year after she gets sworn in can anyone see her effectively doing her job at that age let alone at 86 when her term is up?"
He was also 78 and gave me a wry smile, looking down at me over his glasses. I couldn't get out of the room fast enough. But, to my credit, he announced his retirement the next year within a week or so of DiFi announcing her reelection.

Weird….I mean hadn’t Strom Thurmond continued into his 90s….And Byrd also? In fact Byrd died in office at 92 or 93!
And Byrd at least was far smarter and a far better senator than pretty much all half his age! His speech against the Iraq “War” on the eve of the colossal mistake is one of the finer senate moments of the past few decades.
-
Weird….I mean hadn’t Strom Thurmond continued into his 90s….
100 actually!
At the age of 93 years, 11 months and 3 days, Thurmond became the oldest person ever to be re-elected to the United States Senate. He eventually served out his full term, his last, and left the senate on January 3, 2003 at age 100.

GOP "logic":
1. adopt an extreme position on abortion
2. hold that position for years despite it representing fewer and fewer voters. do not care that only a minority still want it, because gawdammit they're not flip-floppers
3. pack the SCOTUS through any means necessary, damn the ethics
4. get SCOTUS to overturn Roe, despite point #2
5. be amazed when the 2022 "red wave" election fails to materialize, and watch the opposition prez do better in the midterms than any other in 60 years? more?
5. the kicker: with their new razor-thin majority, ensure that one of the first bills past is a ‘born alive’ abortion bill (https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/11/politics/house-abortion-bill/index.html) (that is unnecessary since it's already illegal to not save a baby born alive following an abortion)
RECAP: GOP was punished for a thing, so at the first opportunity they loudly signal their support for that thing. got it.

6. It dies in the senate, and we forget they even put it to a vote
will it just be more of this
The House has voted 54 times in four years on Obamacare.
but 2 years and it's mostly hunter
note from that link
Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican who has been a vocal critic of her party’s abortion messaging,
not sure what it is about Ms Mace, but she keeps getting my attention for her policy (and not her good looks)
jesus, she loves animals (https://carolinatails.org/rep-nancy-mace-speaks-out/) too!
not only puppies, but horses and sharks!
-
6. It dies in the senate, and we forget they even put it to a vote
right, which in my mind confirms my point: they knew it would go nowhere, so the only point of that bill was messaging... and that message was: they haven't learned a thing. strategery!
you'd think they'd want to move on from abortion, instead of beating a long-dead horse.
will it just be more of this
The House has voted 54 times in four years on Obamacare.
but 2 years and it's mostly hunter
i'd have to go back and check the polling, but i seem to remember a majority of right-leaning voters being opposed to obamacare, at least initially - so politically it made sense to bang that drum. eventually the GOP had to admit that obamacare was in fact popular, so they dropped it and moved on to the next thing, AKA the thing they really should do with abortion.

You can’t even begin to compare their track record and experience. They are not in the same league.
I get it though…liberals love her. She has funny pictures and memes.
Who cares though? It’s California. We don’t live there so we can’t vote and a liberal will be selected. By the way has Diane announced she is not running? Guess I missed the announcement.
Looking forward to to the hundred million dollars they will waste on the primary.
I doubt Schiff will win because being a white man these days is tantamount to being an evil person.

Failla: "They're trying to recruit your kids into climate politics at an earlier age"

Reading the Porter v Schiff responses on Twitter reminds me of one of the weirdest phenomenons around politics -- that no one seems able to process or acknowledge that their viewpoint (while possibly correct) may not be the majority viewpoint.
Someone who likes Japanese Pro Wrestling gets that its a niche thing. They understand it is not as popular in this country as the NFL and they readily admit and it doesn't decrease their enjoyment of it.
This doesn't happen in politics. Bernie Bros and Trump Stans literally cannot come up with a way their candidate lost an election outside of nefarious cheating. And you see the exact same thing here. The # of very online progressive people who legitimately think Porter will get 80+% of the vote over Schiff are legion. Its not that they think Porter should win; they live in such a bubble that they legitimately do not experience people who might like an actual politician with a history of measured successes (they call this "center-right liberalism") over a meme machine.

What does that have to do with what I'm talking about? I am not suggesting Katie Porter cannot win that primary; I am simply shaking my head in confusion at the young progressive online wing that cannot fathom any outcome other than her absolutely cakewalking to victory and who cannot so much as imagine a Democratic voter who would consider voting for any other candidate.

Good point…..I don’t remember if she formally announced but I read she was running….
If Schiff didn’t earn his bonafides during the Trump presidency I don’t know what to say! And many of the same liberals who wanted him to run for president three years ago when he was going on liberal outlets like Bill Maher are now going for Porter. Yes, I am looking at you Sidehatch.

Is this how Trump takes down DeSantis?
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-comments-about-ron-desantis-b2277724.html
Donald Trump has amplified a social media post suggesting Florida governor Ron DeSantis “groomed” teen girls and drank with his students while the Republican state leader was a high school teacher.
In a series of statements on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, Mr Trump responded to a post from a user showing a low-quality photo of a man with a resemblance to Mr DeSantis standing with a group of young women with blurred out faces, one of whom appears to be holding a beer bottle.
“Here is Ron DeSanctimonious grooming high school girls with alcohol as a teacher,” a caption on the user’s post reads.
Mr Trump, resharing the image multiple times, responded, “No way?” and, “That’s not Ron, is it?”
Mr DeSantis has yet to address the matter publicly as of Wednesday morning. The Independent has contacted his office for comment.

Holy shit. Texas republicans introduced a bill to give huge tax cuts to *straight* couples having children—with up to 100% cut in property taxes for TEN kids.
The bill’s author said “Get married, stay married, and be fruitful and multiply.”
This is handmaid’s tale shit.
https://twitter.com/SawyerHackett/status/1631293564293447685?s=20
and there is a clause in this bill that states
"Qualifying married couple means a man and a woman who are legally married to each other, neither of whom have ever been divorced."
and of course propety tax funds public schools, so lots of racisim here
-
neither of whom have ever been divorced
Holy shit, when was the last time they busted that one out on tour?

As someone pointed out there are upcoming Broadway productions of Mrs. Doubtfire and Hairspray that are now both illegal in TN.

I know the irony is not lost on this crowd, but the amount of divorces in the GOP is too damn high for the self proclaimed righteous

Punk rock singer testifies on Proud Boys' behalf at sedition trial (https://www.reuters.com/legal/punk-rock-singer-testifies-proud-boys-behalf-sedition-trial-2023-03-20/)
WASHINGTON, March 20 (Reuters) - A former singer for the punk rock band The Misfits testified on behalf of five far-right Proud Boys members on Monday that he was asked to perform for them on the afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021, evidence their lawyers said shows they had no intention to attack the Capitol that day.
Michale Graves, lead singer of the Misfits from 1995 to 2000, acknowledged that members of the Proud Boys may have been guilty of trespassing on Capitol grounds. But he said he did not believe they had any intention of targeting Congress.
"I know for a fact there was not some elaborate plan to take over the Capitol that day on Jan 6,” he told the 12-member jury at the Proud Boys trial.

selected quote from Republicans buckle down for what could be marathon blockade (https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4041383-republicans-buckle-down-marathon-blockade/):
- “Let’s face it, when we pass things around here that are messaging bills that don’t do anything, is it really a loss that we’re not passing anything?” Perry said. “And when we do pass things around here that actually hurt the American people, is it a loss that we’re not doing any of that?”
- “I don’t even know what the logjam’s about,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas.) said. “Just a bunch of crybabies.”
- Complicating McCarthy’s dilemma, the conservatives are airing their grievances without naming specific demands that might end the standoff.
“My idea is that he broke it, he’s gotta fix it, and that it’s not up to me to come up with a solution,” said Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), former head of the Freedom Caucus. “It’s up to him. So I’m waiting to see what he proposes.”

Reducing military spending?

This could be literally the worst time to reduce military spending in nearly 40 years.

We spend more on defense than the next like 10 countries combined and can't win a war. I think we could probably put that money to a better use, like literally anything.

But not now. China is a serious military threat. I wouldn’t take the spending numbers they offer seriously.
And Democrats should be extra wary of military spending cuts because anything goes haywire and is blamed on them and they won’t be elected dog catcher.

Paying for gender affirming care for everyone in the US that requires it would be more beneficial than funding the military. Hell, funding a training program EXCLUSIVELY for trans athletes so they actually do dominate in their sports like everyone pearl-clutches about would be more beneficial.

Cunnilingus, for example.

what if that doesn't work for the soldier?
what if they both want the guy to have an erection, but the stress of the job is getting in the way?
bottom line: it's a class of meds available to the general public. soldiers should have access to the same meds as civilians.

What a pathetic party...these Republicans.
-
Who brought the onion dip?
-
I'm surprised anyone is surprised Trump will likely run away with it. Outside of him dying, I don't know what stops him. Which I can't say I mind...Trump is an absolutely loathsome scumbag and deserves every bad thing that could happen to a person, but DeSantis is pure evil...that could would be so much worse, because he actually believes in the vile shit he does.
-
Not really surprised but still hard to accept
I said - on here- that Trump was going to crush Desantis but I did think someone would put up a token resistance
And that was dozens of indictments ago
I guess it’s still early
-
Trump is an absolutely loathsome scumbag and deserves every bad thing that could happen to a person, but DeSantis is pure evil...that could would be so much worse, because he actually believes in the vile shit he does.
the problem with desantis is that he has a plan (a horrible one) and he's competent. trump's lack of those two things is the only reason we got through his presidency.

Sure, he has a plan. But less Americans will vote for him then non-plan Trump.
-
Agree, sweetcell, though i will say the other benefit of Trump was he was hated because he really was a political outside, and it actually gave Dems a (slight) urgency to oppose him. DeSantis is at least a politician, and if there's one things Dems love, it's being ok with horrific policies from the other side of the aisle because, as bad as they might be, that's just how politics works! At least with Trump they could pretend he was some outlying force of bad.
And yeah, Space, I think DeSantis is just too focused on shit that only internet weirdos care about, and is making that his entire platform. Not to mention he's a really off-putting freak
-
Perhaps DeSantis is just (1) a one-issue candidate and (2) was the beneficiary of a disgustingly weak Democratic slate of candidates in the 2022 midterms.
People liked DeSantis’ COVID view. That issue is, for the most part, over.
-
It's also weird to have essentially ridden Trump's coat tails and spend years trying to be Trump and then making a case that you should be the nominee over Trump. Like, they can't even hit him for losing the last election, because they all went in on saying he didn't lol

Imagine serving in combat as I did, fighting for American ideals, and giving an oath that meant you might lose your life in defense of our Constitution, only to witness the complete subversion of that Constitution just a few years later by the very Administration now holding power.
Imagine witnessing a nation built on the promise of freedom trying to take that freedom away from a man who sacrificed everything to rebuild the United States we once knew.
Imagine knowing that the next election is a choice between re-electing an American President willing to give his freedom to save our nation or watching that man be imprisoned by a regime so corrupt we’ve run out of whistleblowers to describe the corruption.
The endless indictments of Trump are really an indictment of a free society, an indictment on the American spirit, an indictment of YOU.
Donald Trump is symbol of resistance for every man and woman who believe in a free society, a strong independent nation, secure borders, secure communities, a strong economy, and an America that resembles the nation we want our children to inherit.
This political war that Biden has waged by weaponizing the most powerful levers of justice is doing irreparable harm to the United States.
But fear not America, Trump will be our nominee.

Ah, man...I never thought of it like that before
an indictment of YOU.

I didn't know he was "very" anti-Trump but I assumed. He's speaking at The Atlantic festival down at the Wharf. The one thing campaign graphic I saw from him was like "We should be enemies of Putin, not the LGBT community."

I literally first saw his name yesterday. This is what he said about yesterday's indictment. Sounded very anti-Trump to me. Or at least jut calling it like it is.
"Let me be crystal clear: Trump's presidential bid is driven by an attempt to stay out of prison and scam his supporters into footing his legal bills. Furthermore, his denial of the 2020 election results and actions on Jan. 6 show he's unfit for office," Hurd said.
-

Oh, I wasn't suggesting he wasn't very anti-Trump; I just heard about him literally this week when he was announced at the Atlantic thing and the one sentence ad I transcribed is literally the only thing I know about him from my 20 seconds of googling.

Yesterday's win for democracy in Ohio signifies something: no matter how much MAGA wants you to think otherwise, everyday Americans reject their radical, autocratic views.
Republicans in disarray. Democrats in array. Great job, Ohio.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) accused Donald Trump‘s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, of breaching ethical boundaries over a Saudi investment deal.

so i guess i will refer to Jeff Duncan as deplorable lite, but dude has some brass balls for sure
after testifying in GA he is quoted as saying
As Republicans we’re gonna take our medicine and realize the election wasn’t rigged, Donald Trump is the worst candidate ever in the history of the party, even worse than Herschel Walker”
he is of course the one TFG strongly suggested not testify in Georgia... it's also amusing that TFG thinks "I barely knew him" is some sort of insult and they rattles off numerous facts about the person
guess he'll have a personal security detail for near future
and as usual the party of Law And Order is upset that actual Law And Order is happening... So do Michigan or Arizona step up to the plate now?
-
This factoid is of course the chef's kiss
Due to former Gov. (and KKK member) E.D. Rivers, the Georgia constitution was changed to prevent ANY Governor to ever give out pardons since Rivers used to sell them to the highest bidder.

So the TFG announced two and half years later he has a MAJOR report that proves the election was RIGGED AND STOLEN.. so wait that means J6 and all the fake state electors were really and truly false flag operations!!!!!! it's UTTERLY AMAZING what ANTIFA and the DEEP STATE can pull off when they combine forces.. crafty crafty BASTARDS all of them. even going as far as impersonating farting Rudy at a public hearing in Michigan... hats off gang!

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said that arrest warrants have been issued for all of the defendants and that each has until Aug. 25 to surrender voluntarily.
they really should have done that on 8/23. the split screen of him getting his fingerprints while the others were debating would have been off the hook

We kinda knew this, but now it’s official
Trump says he won't take part in Republican debates

From Trump’s perspective it totally makes sense.
From voters perspective I think we all know Trump by now.

Trump to be weighed on thursday
ok, I'll buy one beer at any IMP venue of your choosing for the person who is the closest guess to his weight

I think you guys are overestimating. Muscle weighs more than fat and he has zero muscle.

I don't think you understand how the Price is Right works.

I don’t get it. We have his official weight which has been confirmed repeatedly. Anyways that’s my guess.
244

287
288
I don't think you understand how the Price is Right works.
When someone bids a price that another contestant planned to bid, the second bidder will often bid one more dollar, thus keeping the bid pretty much the same but forcing the first bidder to get it exactly.
In this case, if the weight is 292 I would win because I was closer without going over. The only way for you to beat my bid is to be exact.
Did I get that right.

now my only window is 271-276 (guess someone could will rain on that parade)
-
I don’t get it. We have his official weight which has been confirmed repeatedly
has it? I thought there were lots of reports that it was clearly fudged...but what do I know
Also, he is doing his 'Atlanta check in' on Thursday morning...to steal any spotlight that might focus on the GOP debate
I don't think there isn't a person Trump wouldn't screw, including his kids

Oh you right. I clearly need to watch the Price is Right more often...

His medical records including weight are public information. As I recall his personal doctor was on TV. Then you hace his official White House doctor who I think is now a congressman. I also think he provided this information at his previous arraignment
-
The man is a serial liar and regardless of what they report he’ll claim the scale was defective and all those involved in the booking had tears in their eyes

He’s lost 25 pounds and gained an inch since his April arraignment
So I guess we are just celebrating dodge print on demand T-shirts companies day now
-
Under Price is Right rules there are no winners
I should have bid “1”!!
-
Correct that we have no winner but also FAKE NEWS.

Great great mug shot….
On brand!
He is angry at the rigged system where there is no justice and America is going down the tubes.
-
Trump already selling $47 t shirts with mugshot on them
-
And all the single ladies are getting money from the government not to have a man in the house
-
does anyone believe 215?
-
Look either they weighed him at the courthouse or he told them his weight.
It’s surprising he lost that much weight but he is under a lot of strain. Still it’s weird cause he had been holding steady at 244 for a few years.
-
does anyone believe 215?
That's about right. For electoral votes in 2024.

He was just professionally weighed and measured at the NFL Draft at 6'3" and 215lbs. I think do not think he's the exact same size as Donald Trump, so, no . . .

Yeah but that guy has full sized hands and a package, those things can weigh quite a bit
Trump's belly is actually hollow and that's where he stores documents and hamberders

as i've said before: there is no bottom, with trump.
trump's PAC has threatened to sue those profiting (https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/08/trump-threatens-fellow-unauthorized-mug-shot-merch-sellers.html) from his mug shot, claiming that non-PAC mug shot vendors are defrauding donors (because $$$ won't flow into trump's coffers, apparently he's already made over $7M on the image). however, trump PACs forgot to check up on GA copyright law: unlike federal mug shots which automatically fall into the public domain, state law enforcement agencies retain copyright over their mug shots. THEREFORE, technically, the fulton county sheriff's office is within their rights to sue trump (https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-mug-shot-georgia-t-shirt-cash-grab-rcna102825) for copyright infringement and seize all profits generated from the image. the seized moneys could then be used to offset the cost of trump's prosecution, or go towards fixing fulton county jail where he was booked. should they pursue this, the irony would be *chef's kiss*

Was there ever a band that fell as quickly as Jamiroquai?
i can think of a lot of bands that faded much faster than jay kay & co...
jamiroquai had a solid run from 1993-2001 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamiroquai_discography), with their 5 albums during that time hitting #1 or #2 in the UK and charting well in other countries - except the US where it seems to me that only their videos got any traction. since then they have faded, took some time off, and haven't toured much in the US. i saw them in SF a few years ago, still put on a great show (if you're into that kind of thing...)

This is the origin story we've been waiting for.

the hits keep piling up...
the reason there is no jury seated in the fraud trail starting today, is that TFG's crack team of lawyers didn't check a box/file the proper paperwork to get one...
of course that little tidbit won't ever be uttered by faux news outlets, TFG and his offspring.

they'll have numerous rounds of voting, no one including McCarthy will have the votes, then the Dems will offer to support McCarthy (or someone else they think they can work with) in exchange for a few demands (aid for Ukraine, no major cuts to social programs, etc.). new speaker takes the gavel, they pass a boring steady-state budget, and the House proceed to do exactly nothing* until the next congress is sworn in, in january 2025. the end.
* "nothing" here includes the Biden impeachment inquiry, which will lead to nothing (other than possibly embarrassment for the GOP...)

I would say Scalise has a much better chance than McCarthy. I doubt Democrats will help elect anyone.

If Democrats spent 1/100th of the energy they spend fearmongering -whether true or not- talking about what they aim to do to make Americans’ lives better…maybe they could win but if all you do is offer doomsday scenarios if Trump wins….well Trump will win!
Have we learned nothing from 2016 and all kinds of elections elsewhere? I mean Milei won in Argentina after the same fearmongering about how he is going to be a dictator…a guy with virtually zero experience and kind of crazy acting won 56-44! People want real solutions to problems not a bunch of “OMG if Trump wins it’s the end of the world!!” The more people say that the more turned off people get towards Biden.

Well I think immigration is a losing issue for the Dems, trans stuff is a losing issue, and the economy is whatever people are feeling personally. What else do they have to run on?

They should run on a platform of very specific ways of bringing back the American Dream. Too many Americans are stuck living paycheck to paycheck. They need to tack left (on the economy and education). Just saying “the other guys are crazy” isn’t going to cut it. Not only that, it leaves you poorly positioned to actually get anything done if you win. Democrats need new ideas!

I agree with you, but do most people have the bandwidth to pay attention anymore? I'm on social media enough to see that the country has been reduced to goobers hating on trans people and illegals and Dems hating on Trump. And that's politics to them.

We watched the series from beginning to near end as a family a few years ago..One of the few shows where I felt the whole family equally enjoyed the show. (Freaks and Geeks and My So Called Life were a couple of others.)

If Rizz goes dark we'll know why
"A New York man who is running for the congressional seat previously held by George Santos has been convicted of charges relating to the Jan. 6 riot after he testified at his trial that he didn't know Congress convened inside the Capitol."
Grillo in May filed as a candidate for New York’s 3rd Congressional District seat — the seat Santos, a Republican, held until his expulsion from the House last week following a scathing Ethics Committee report. The Justice Department noted that during his trial, Grillo testified that he had “no idea” that Congress convened inside the Capitol.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Grillo will also be a candidate in the Feb. 13 special election for the seat.

But declaring bankruptcy likely will not erase the $148 million in damages a jury awarded to the former Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea’ “Shaye” Moss. Bankruptcy law does not allow for the dissolution of debts that come from a “willful and malicious injury” inflicted on someone else.

What better way to protest a store than to repeatedly steal from it? I mean, she's protesting the lost jobs that the self-checkout creates by giving herself the savings rather than the coroporate behemoth getting the savings.

MTG filing a motion to vacate is at the behest of trump/putin. by removing the speaker, the GOP will go need to spend days or weeks finding a new speaker, until then any aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan will continue to go nowhere.
fantasy-land: the Dem recruit 4 or more non-MAGA Repubs and elect a speaker of their choosing (i suspect it would need to be a Repub, despite the majority of the votes coming from Dems), one that will among other things bring the Senate's foreign assistance bill up for a vote.

That's the same account as Rhett Miller, he just changed the name at some point. Unless I am mistaken?

I thought
Charlie Nakastetes pro golf ball=Rhett=Space Freely

Correct, but they were not three separate accounts.
Acct #1 started as Rhett Miller and then changed the name to Charlie Nakatestes at some point, and then he either got banned or retired it at like 17k posts.
Then his current account is Space Freely which is about to crest another 10k posts. (One of the two accounts had a James Ford-era as well but I'm tired and don't remember which.)
-
Ah ha!

Can't help but notice what thread this Space account discussion is taking place.

One way to stay relevant?!

Wow, Sebastian Stan has now played both Tommy Lee and DJT. What range.
Also interesting that Cohn was 19 years older than Trump but Strong is only four years older than Stan.

I read that one of the jurors only read Twitter and Truth Social for news. If that juror really wanted Trump to be acquitted, I think the jury would still be deliberating.

For 20 years, I couldn’t say what I watched the former president do on the set of the show that changed everything. Now I can.
