They’ve been planning this shit for literally 50 years, this is their moment.  Fucking ghouls...this is also a perfect encapsulation of “institutionalized” government and policy development.  Christianity is truly evil.  

He was only put in place for one thing. To use the law to hurt anyone that the republicans or “Christians” hate. That’s it and nothing else. It doesn’t matter what he does outside of that.

unfortunately this is all Completely Normal Republican Shit, by which I mean there’s plausible deniability w/r/t corruption for all of it. is there a pattern? sure, but you can’t use that in any attempt for accountability.

That’s what I thinking, too. Wiping out her prospects for re-election in a heavily-blue district? I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets a lucrative no-show “consulting” job for some conservative think tank after she retires.

LOL follow the money, who paid her :-)

He wasn’t any more qualified to be a senator than Herschel Walker was, but when it comes to red states, qualifications don’t matter.

I’d call him the stupidest man in the Senate, but there’s so much competition.

Are you suggesting Republicans don’t care about the troops any more than they care about children, and instead that they are just using both as props in a scheme to grab ever increasing levels of power?

Frankly, even seeing the “moderate” tag on a man’s profile is a turnoff for me at this point.

I continue to be flabbergasted that 60 million women did not vote out every Republican for the next two decades. What is going on?

I had to drive one of those because the rental car company said they were out of the car I reserved, and they “upgraded” me. What a gawdawful vehicle that is. I returned it the next day because it literally wouldn’t fit in the garage of my rental home.

Tesla.  You will never convince me that those cars are luxury.  Panel gaps I can see through, horrible interiors, “leather” that is just nasty, seats that suck, etc etc etc.

The “family values” and “pro-life” party!!

Oh, and the state should have gotten their head out of their asses and built these in the median so they could be accessed by both directions of traffic.  Sure, not enough room in all spaces, but plenty of areas where their is.

There were two types of rest stops in Germany when I was there this past summer:

You got the point that was missed in the article. The future of rest stops are EV charging stations, which means they need to provide actual comfort for humans for the time it takes an EV to recharge. 45 minutes to an hour maybe. A proper meal? Maybe a cup of decent coffee in a nice table? Absolutely not shoulder to…

Marjorie Taylor Greene says that Rep. Roger Williams’s wife had a stroke and was hospitalized but he didn’t travel to the hospital to be with her because he didn’t want to miss House Speaker votes

This underscores the fact that Republicans majority is so slim that with retirements, resignations, deaths, and even someone like Santos ending up in jail that it’s entirely possible we could have Speaker Jeffries at some point in the next two years. 

“I hope his mother’s ghost haunts him for the rest of his days”

Completely irrelevant when one has no moral fabric or soul to haunt. The dead don’t matter when one is dead to the world.

Are we really surprised anymore? The right wing has been all about power over principles for some time now. The whole Speaker fiasco was a perfect exhibit in that.
