There goes Alabama, trying to leave the Union again.

I would add that if any cops disrespect him as mayor, order their supervisor to fire them for insubordination. They can grieve it but if cops want to make believe they are soldiers, they should be subject to military discipline.

I mean this WAS my first worried thought.

There are democratic blue dogs who may be willing to do this. Like Rep. Marcy Kaptur who signaled she would support McCarthy or any GOP speaker. Democrats can’t get out of their own way so I expect they will eventually fuck this up. The leadership including Joe Biden have a fantasy of the old GOP that has never been…

Making a deal would’ve required thinking that the Republicans would’ve held up their end. I’m certain they wouldn’t have.

Voter intimidation. A VERY FEDERAL OFFENSE.

Defense called for a mistrial on the grounds that all the testimony was making their client look guilty.

I nominate old school BOF passenger vans and Uhauls made from them. Uncomfortable seats, surprisingly cramped leg room, zero amenities or features, and a bumpy, jostling delivery truck like ride.

I’ve seen rumors that Sanders is leaving to join Stacey Abrams campaign. Which would 1.) make sense and 2.) be awesome.

Just because Step 1 doesn’t solve the entire problem doesn’t mean you don’t take Step 1.
