  1. House vacancies are filled by special elections.
  2. He’s squeezed his rubes for so much attorney money, that well is running dry. One can only imagine what he’s spending on the lawyers fortunate enough to get paid.
  3. Odessa Bouffant Curls and Hoop Skirts.
  4. It’s true. Everything Trump touches goes broke.
  5. For its part, Code Pink said there "has been some confusion about an image that was taken w/ CODEPINK volunteers & Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green." "MTG opportunistically approached our volunteers in a parking lot on the Hill and she requested they take a photo together," she said Wednesday. "Our volunteers weren’t sure how to respond & immediately reached out to us about what happened after the fact. This picture was not initiated by our organization," the group clarified.
  6. All true. And as i have said d before old folks should not have to take out a loan to pay for critical dental work.
  7. Normally, MTG and Boebert would be mugging for the cameras and making fools of themselves. Why have they been so quiet?
  8. He blames McCarthy for his ethics investigation and he’s out for blood. Gaetz is a vengeful little imp.
  9. Remember this? In a 2016 conversation with fellow members of House leadership, the majority leader, Kevin McCarthy, suggested that Donald Trump was on Vladimir Putin’s payroll. In an exchange first reported by the Washington Post, McCarthy said: “There’s …there’s two people, I think, Putin pays: [California Representative Dana] Rohrabacher and Trump … [laughter] … swear to God.” According to the transcript, speaker Paul Ryan immediately responded: “This is an off-the-record … [laughter] … NO LEAKS … [laughter] … alright?!
  10. Why are there no guns present?
  11. Looks like Musk acquired Twitter to destroy it and save America from the Left: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/was-elon-musks-strategy-twitter-rcna118490 On the day that public records revealed that Elon Musk had become Twitter’s biggest shareholder, an unknown sender texted the billionaire and recommended an article imploring him to acquire the social network outright. Musk’s purchase of Twitter, the 3,000-word anonymous article said, would amount to a “declaration of war against the Globalist American Empire.” The sender of the texts was offering Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, a playbook for the takeover and transformation of Twitter. As the anniversary of Musk's purchase approaches, the identity of the sender remains unknown. The three texts were sent on April 4, 2022. In the nearly 18 months since then, many of the decisions Musk made after he bought Twitter appear to have closely followed that road map, up to and including his ongoing attacks against the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit organization founded by Jewish Americans to counter discrimination. The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.” The messages from the unknown sender were revealed in a court filing last year as evidence in a lawsuit Twitter brought against Musk after he tried to back out of buying it. The redacted documents were unearthed by The Chancery Daily, an independent legal publication covering proceedings before the Delaware Court of Chancery. The wording of the texts matches the subtitles of the article, “The Battle of the Century: Here’s What Happens if Elon Musk Buys Twitter,” which had been published three days earlier on the right-wing website revolver.news. The article was published with no byline, a common practice on the site, where writers also appear to use pseudonyms, such as “Moxie Russo.” The site is run by the far-right blogger Darren Beattie, a former Trump White House speechwriter who was fired in 2018 for having spoken on a panel alongside white nationalists. After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, Beattie promoted the baseless claim that the FBI had planted agents in the crowd who incited it to storm the building.
  12. Fun fact: the United States has spent less than 3% of its annual military budget to aid Ukraine in its war against Russia., resulting in the Ukrainian Defense Forces " destroying half of the Russian army.” https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-used-3-us-defense-203500822.html#:~:text=At the press conference%2C Graham,half of the Russian army."
  13. Yep. She beat her Dem challenger, MIT trained scientist and Baptist preacher, like he stole something,
  14. She is said to have spent 20k of public money to fly a friend to France, then faked receipts & said the $20k was spent on a podium. When public demanded to see it, she bought a $700 one on Amazon.
  15. I don’t know. He’s known to be a pussy from time to time.
  16. She’s lesbian.
  17. Not sure if this choice is shrewdly political, Solomonic or both.
  18. AOC looked so hot when she was dragging Byron Donals to hell and back for his clumsy attempt to deceive.
  19. Went downstairs earlier this evening and encountered two family members who have not been able to ween themselves from watching Maher. While mixing my Uncle Nearest based cocktail, I heard the Maher audience applaud Desantis’ for the way he [mis]managed vaccines in Florida. Don’t tell me disinformation doesn’t work.
  20. We had a very real chance to overhaul our broken immigration system in 2013 when the Senate passed sweeping legislation that not only enjoyed bipartisan support in the upper chamber, but among rank and file liberal and conservative constituencies. It failed because House Republicans knew it would pass if held to a vote: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-real-reason-why-the-house-wont-pass-comprehensive-immigration-reform/ It’s been a year since the Senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill. George and Jeb Bush and Sens. John McCain and Lindsay Graham support it. Conservative public intellectuals such as David Brooks, Grover Norquist, and Karl Rove also support it, as well as more than 100 conservative economists, the Wall Street Journal and the CATO Institute. Comprehensive immigration reform enjoys a level of popularity that should make it a win-win for all involved. Still, House Republicans refuse to support it — even though the Senate recently passed a bipartisan bill with which many conservatives are satisfied. With every reason to pass comprehensive immigration reform, why are House Republicans standing in its way? Many claim that the Senate bill amounts to amnesty, a measure they suggest leaves us no better off than we are now. They stress securing the border and expelling the 11 to 12 million “illegal aliens” residing in the United States. House Republicans argue that the Senate bill amounts to nothing more than a breach of the rule of law – a foundational conservative tenet. But something beyond ideology drives House Republicans’ resistance to comprehensive immigration reform. Let’s review the case against comprehensive immigration reform from the House GOP’s perspective.
  21. There is a pretty silly poster who claims to be a Texas fan who has repped this site for its sports insights but dragged it for troglodyte political takes
  22. The TigerDroppings faithful disagree: https://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/politics/jasmine-crockett-d-tx/110037229/
  23. Watching Tuberville get away with this reminds me of the excuses offered in the face of inaction on unchecked gun violence. We’re told there’s nothing more that can be done. Likewise, we hear that the Senate custom that grants Tuberville the “courtesy” to wreak havoc within the military, is sacrosanct. Really? Why not suspend or do away with a harmful anachronism that does more harm than good?
