don’t forget the greatest accomplishment of GOP-which is, being successful in portraying Democrats as soft on crime, labeling them as party of high taxes, welfare, and supporting illegal immigration and illegal drugs, being loose on virtues and morality, and pursuing anti-Christian and anti-business agenda.
Sure seems like there's a stinky method in this madness. No joke! I'm fin' to hunker in for a long seige. Or mebbe a long trip to a Steady part of the world.
"The courts offer a way for Republicans to get the policies they want without having to legislate — from partisan gerrymandering to abortion bans to gutting environmental regulations."
This phrase says everything you need to know about the Republican Party and their "agenda."
Expertise, integrity and honesty has been dispatched for fame, cheating and lies. This is the end result, congress members who have no agenda, no policy, just hunger for fame and money.
We’re seeing in real time the results of the GOP selling their souls to trump, power and greed. They’re all turning on each other and hopefully will self destruct. This is the nature of dictators and coups.
Did it start in daycare? Using the wrong childcare model for conflict resolution and treating our cubby buddy with care and respect?
So well stated.
“Because when you stand for nothing other than the raw exercise of power, the only thing you’re voting on is power itself. And who wants to give that up”
Then if the Speaker is not a duly elected member of the House, they could direct the meetings but not vote on anything because they are not a duly elected member.
This debacle in the House of Representatives is so scary! Kevin McCarthy stands for nothing but power and is and has sold his soul to Trump and all of the other people who have forgotten what their job is supposed to entail. They are not there to serve themselves but to serve the people of the United States. This is shameful. I see kids in the chamber and how sad that they are seeing first hand how dysfunctional the GOP really is. I fear that the next two years will be just as unstable.
People are much like machines in that some are defective to various degrees. Our society breeds mental illness. We don't address the nature of the beast because we just don't want to be bothered. This 28-year-old criminology major who butchered the 4 students in Iowa. Bryan Christopher Kohberger to be exact. This guy housed repressed feelings that mimicked those of Ted Bundy and John Norman Collins. Being a student of horrific crimes he would have studied the cases of these two men and seen the reasons that led to their capture. Criminals always feel they are smarter than the law enforcement agencies devoted to our protection. Mr. Kohberger was an intelligent deeply troubled individual with repressed homicidal tendencies. With his education and understanding of the crimes he secretly wished to commit this guy was a ticking time bomb. If this was his first time, if left unchecked, it wouldn't have been his last. These killers develop a taste for death on an ever-increasing scale. They crave the feeling of power and the fear they create in their victims. This guy was in his infancy as a cereal killer, time and nerve were all that stood in his way of becoming the monster that lived with him. Arrogance spells the doom of every mass killer. They think they are smarter than the law, time will prove them wrong, it always does. The tragedy lies in their choice of their victims. Innocence seems to be a curse in our society.
Who May Serve Under rule I clause 8, the Speaker pro tempore must be a Member of the House. Manual Sec. 632. He usually is a member of the majority party (Deschler Ch 6 Sec. 10), such as the Majority Leader (Deschler Ch 3 Sec. 17.5) or the Majority Whip (Deschler Ch 3 Sec. 23.5).

Martin L., please brighten my evening and tell us some details about what the converging wise people are doing/saying. Thanks in advance.

Yup - missed all that - because he's lying. Too bad you're believing his lies, but there's nothing much I can do about that. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-nancy-pelosi-blame-jan-6-capitol-riot_n_620192b0e4b09170e9d4c846
This is a three-ring circus! And it will be interesting to see the final outcome.
Yes, I must admit I'm rather enjoying their little problem, that's what happens when you have so many self serving traitors in your party.
We’re seeing in real time the results of the GOP selling their souls to trump, power and greed. They’re all turning on each other and hopefully will self destruct. This is the nature of dictators and coups.
It’s O. Henry. Not O’Henry.
There is no shame?

Your translation corresponds to what he said shortly after he directly said, “I mean, I lie if I’m really cornered or something. I lie.” That portion of the interview video also appears at https://sports.yahoo.com/tucker-carlson-admits-lies-show-120821690.html, and the whole interview is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEiVCSyzfjA. Trying to never lie is different from not lying. So is saying other people lie too.
The Bundy effect.
