If only Nancy Pelosi could be Senate minority leader! This situation sucks, and so does Chuck Schumer.

My post was just wishful thinking, which is all that’s left from this debacle. So, you’re most certainly correct.

This is actually 3-dimensional chess: Senate Dems pass a package.
It gets sent over to the House.
Mike Johnson must convene the House in order to consider.
With the House in session, Johnson is forced to swear in Rep. Grijalva.
The vote to release the Epstein files passes.
Trump is impeached.

Umm… Steve Schmidt said it pretty damn eloquently. No need for further embellishment by me.

Why yes, yes they did vote for that. They just didn’t think the hatred would extend far enough to include themselves. FAFO

Well, none of these malcontents will like the wages they’ll find we pay in NC. Which is fine, we don’t need their blue-wall mentality down here.

“Justice Clarence Thomas, who… has called for erasing the same-sex marriage ruling.”

Thomas had better consider that it would be hard to justify this rule reversal without applying the same reasoning to interracial marriages.

Oopsie!

The Diplomat. Keri Russell, as always, is compelling, and some of the dialogue comes close to the level of The West Wing.

Tomi, Tomi, Tomi… you mean those “great” red parasite states that take more from the federal government than they contribute? If there were no blue states supporting you, you’d all be third world countries. You’re welcome.

Supreme Court weighs longshot appeal to overturn decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide A call to overturn the landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide is on the agenda Friday for the justices’ closed-door conference.

“Justice Clarence Thomas, who… has called for erasing the same-sex marriage ruling.”

Thomas had better consider that it would be hard to justify this rule reversal without applying the same reasoning to interracial marriages.

Oopsie!

Totally agree with you, Kamala! But also, I wonder how many of these new leaders joined with you in your unnecessary praise of Dick Cheney.

And THAT’s why a new generation of leaders is needed!

They’re euphemistically referred to as “low information” voters - but they’re actually just plain dumb, and ignorant by choice.

Yeah, I’m not forgetting she’s a committed conservative and supported trump back then. But she did prove herself a person of principles following J6.

RIP, Dick Cheney. It’s so revealing that the VP once called Darth Vader due to his Iraq war lies, his declarations of a unitary executive, and his usurping of power from his own President is now, by today’s standards, a revered “traditional” Republican.

Oh well, at least he gave us Liz.
