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.

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?

might not even last a week:

Quote
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.

how are those clowns going to pass anything over the next 2 years. other than gas?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They said he was taken to a hospital after an “agent-involved shooting.” (https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/04/03/roy-mcgrath-hogan-manhunt-fugitive-tennessee/)

I feel like the January 6 crowd are more anti-government than they are pro-Trump. So no, I don't think there will be riots in the streets of Manhattan today.

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.

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.

And that was dozens of indictments ago

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
I think you did, but maybe the 9:30 forum legal team will weigh in

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

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 . . .

This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

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*

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...)

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...)

My kid said he would have voted for him in 2016, but would have sat out 2020.

can't speak for space,
but TicTok is a pop culture cliff notes,

I am sometimes floored by the little pop culture gems my kids actually know (not from me introducing it to them and I have unsuccessfully tried)
Dolly Parton Songs and buddy Holly songs,  scenes from Sanford and Son or The Wonder Years, Carlin and Murphy monologs, Clockwork Orange and Godfather quotes....but there is no context or even a desire to know the origin of it

they can digest whole multi-season tv series, but only watch 1/20th of it

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.)

It was the first time through for it for all of us. I feel like my dad watched it when I was a little kid  but I was a tad too young to get it at the time.

We'll probably go back and watch a few episodes tonight or tomorrow in Norman's honour.

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.

standard right-wing fare, just like when trump tried pressuring the ukrainians to declare the start of an investigation into joe biden in 2019.  rudy said the quiet part out loud (again) - "we don't care if you actually investigate, we just need you to issue a statement that you will."  because only guilty people are investigated, right? </smear_campaign>

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.

no the wife of the person who 'scooped' this is also guilty of the same crime (but you don't see conservatives asking for her to be tarred and feathered)

Oklahoma just said hold my beer to Florida

it would appear they are trying to pass legislation that would allow animal control to remove kids identifying as animals(including furries) at school.

nothing like putting into a law something falsely spread by the worst of the worst right wing grifters... watch this shit spread to other red states...

and don't get me started on all the attempts to make it illegal to be unhoused in red states, all sponsored and put forth by good "Christians"

of course you know the real issues are the border, DEI and making sure rich people get more tax breaks

Also the dumpster fire’s leading Alpha Male claimed that Taylor was only keen to get her mitts on the 70k bonus earned from the sportsball.  Probably put out there to earn the sweet sweet blue check account payment, but then again not very self aware

So would TPFKAW date Ms. Swift? Wonder what the NDA is like…

complete disarray: the GOP's impeachment case against joe biden is founded on the testimony of an FBI informant.  everyone on the right was saying this guy, Alexander Smirnov, was the smoking gun that would take down ol' joe.  there's a great video of jim jordan making the rounds in which he says "the most corroborating evidence we have is (a statement) from this highly credible confidential human source"

well, that rooskiy was indicted last week for lying to the FBI.  he is charged with making up the bribery scheme that benefited the bidens.  and today some of the case docs were made public, and guess who has numerous contacts with russian intelligence? (https://twitter.com/search?q=%22Russian%20Intelligence%22&src=trend_click&vertical=trends)
