Fucking, THANK YOU!!! Political polling has been the most bullshit practice for my entire life, and I’m more than happy to tell CNN and every other outlet in the world to shove it. Also, Republicans are notoriously tribalistic, and will always shout out the expected refrain when asked. However, most of the time, what…

What are the odds that he uses any fine as an excuse to squeeze more money out of his cult of followers? He will cover the fine and pocket the rest.

My favorite line:

I totally trust Republicans when they say they don’t want a total ban on abortion. Or that they want to get rid of no-fault divorce. Or that they won’t go after birth control or IVF.

The whole thing boils down to “don’t be an asshole” and everyone gets along just fine.

“Hard to think of much more American than[...]”

Hard to think of much more American than someone facing a censure vote for coming out strongly against slaughtering children and other innocent people. 

The math alone is telling.

Fair point, but do we always have to sound like the Shaker Heights Decency Society? How did we get to sound like self-righteous scolds around people’s love lives? Of course they’re disorderly; as the French say, whose personal life isn’t? I just wonder why we reflexively fly to indignant moralism. In some ways, we’re…

Glad to hear this. Newman and Woodward were red hot in an era of serious superstar-couples competition: Taylor and Burton, McQueen and McGraw, etc. As someone old enough to remember these folks in their prime, I’ll never get the fluttering around the Ben and Jens and Brad and Angelinas of today. They feel like the…

What is your deal? Newman and Woodward went on to be married for 50 years. And this is about a book written by their daughter.

It’s almost as if it’s none of our business, really.

Might I suggest Hakeem Jeffries? Anyone? Five anyones?

That Bacon guy is on CNN right now and says that Jordan is pissing people off and he will lose even more votes the next time.  He is telling Jordan that he needs to give it up, not going to happen lol.  

The bullying is absolutely backfiring. You don’t lose votes when that stuff is working. The three reps from Texas are apparently getting threatened by the nutcases in the TXGOP as well, and all three dug in their heels.

LOVED when Ultra-MAGA Stefanik, during her introduction of Gym Jordan, commented that he has always been a great leader all the way back to his days as a wrestling coach and the ENTIRE democratic side of the aisle broke into great laughter. Fantastic unexpected comedy.

The fact that he lost votes between ballots means a lot. That they’re not holding a second vote later in the day means a lot. Jordan doesn’t have the support & has no idea where to get it.

I definitely share the joy of seeing him in flames, but the idea of him NEVER getting the chair depends on the spines of a non-zero number of Congressional Republicans, which is not something I’d ever feel good about betting upon.  

That list

I certainly wouldn’t oppose a bipartisan solution, but the Democrats shouldn’t just agree for free.
