  1. what's the schedule -- house managers get the opportunity to rebut, right? Still say it's fucking horseshit if they don't have any witnesses.
  2. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/how-republicans-could-rig-the-battle-for-control-of-congress/ar-BB1dBs34 this article is terrifying and 100% realistic now that there are no brakes on gerrymandering. TLDR: fuck the filibuster. If they don't torpedo it, Dems are toast. excerpt: Democrats face a daunting future of severe Republican gerrymandering that could flip control of the House in 2022 and suppress diverse younger generations’ political influence for years to come, according to a new study released today. Those findings underscore the stakes in Democrats’ efforts to pass national legislation combatting such electoral manipulation. The four big states to watch are Texas, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, where the GOP enjoys complete control over the redistricting process, says Michael Li, a senior counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice and the author of the new report on how congressional redistricting could unfold following the 2020 census. “Those four states, which are seat-rich and where Republicans control the process, could decide who controls the next Congress,” he told me. .... Given the likelihood that, absent federal intervention, red states will enact severe gerrymanders and new obstacles to voting, the decision about whether to end the Senate filibuster to pass these two bills could shape the future of American politics more than anything else Democrats do in the next two years. “If the filibuster remains in place, [H.R. 1] dies in the Senate,” Dan Pfeiffer, the former White House communications director for Barack Obama, wrote this week. If that happens, “the Republicans—who represent a shrinking minority of Americans—will likely return to power and control politics for the next decade or more.” “When Senate Democrats like Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and [Dianne] Feinstein oppose getting rid of the filibuster,” Pfeiffer added, “they are deciding to make it more likely that their time in the majority is ever so brief.”
  3. Naguse is a Big Gesturer. He good though, as is Raskin.
  4. Lester Holt's head is gonna float away if it gets any bigger....freakish balloon-head. Sorry, Les.
  5. So has it already been decided there are to be no witnesses in this thing? Because there absolutely should be. Makes a much more powerful case than just arguments of counsel. Get the officers who were brutalized up on the stand, for one thing.
  6. How the fuck was this guy only 78? Seems like I read about him dying 15-20 years ago.
  7. what would have been the excuse if Dems had been able to force trial before inauguration? total bullshit of their own making
  8. I thought they said the new video is security footage of the capitol attack
  9. yeah I'd like to look into that Bobbit argument the guy cited....smells like bullshit (I had Bobbit in law school as well)
  10. Dems should start with the fact that Trump was impeached while IN OFFICE. So, the other party can just stall trial as they did, and then say, too late, we win?
  11. what a cynical pack of lies and gross manipulation this guy spewed up
  12. ya ever licked a river?
  13. I got stories but they are 30+ year old stories....high school speech & drama class w/Tudyk
  14. holy shit a Siouxsie cover/sample?? was not expecting
  15. Dunno there. They kinda INVENTED the language. Que? Each of those words comes from other languages.
  16. Tucker will eat that up like he's at a pig trough and his viewers will gorge even bigger on the hate machine. It'll be grotesque but you have to remember....she's simply not human to them. She's the personification of all their grievances.
  17. This is an interesting point. Obv. anecdotal, but my british MIL makes the most ludicrous pronunciations ...I'm sure it's just what she learned. Passs-ta = pasta Tack-os = tacos yawgurt = yogurt and many more I don't care to remember. Nails on the chalkboard. At one point, I said no more meals together please.
  18. who added all the debt you fucking simp?
  19. ^^^ Yep. Mitch pulls the ball away once again. But let it be as embarrassing a debacle as possible for the R's to defend and tie their name to forever. Sadly, that's the best outcome the D's can muster now. There is no R party without Trump now, ever.
  20. I just have no idea why Rudy is still walking around free, FFS...could have been charged with some shit a year ago.
  21. Who makes the call on how much gets to each place? DSHS? Does Abbott have say? Obv. DSHS is based in Austin...some motherfucker w/authorization (or not) needs to get in there and adjust numbers so we're not languishing here forever.
  22. Can we call a moratorium on use of the term "gal?" Also, if we're already making requests, how about "hubby" goes away for a while.
  23. I mean more in the legal sense..for example, fleeing from a crime scene can be introduced as evidence that you know you're guilty. She isn't crazy enough not to realize right from wrong. She knows this shit is coming down on her so she scrubs it. Shows that on some level, she knows better and is just fucking evil rather than completely out of her mind.
  24. What it shows is consciousness of guilt.
  25. some oblivious motherfuckers on here.... everything that was once made from plant or animal material can go in. Even greasy pizza boxes. Food waste, etc. It goes to an actual commercial-grade composting site. Cuts down on landfill waste and makes......compost! But do not put poop in it -- yours or anyone else's. It poo-lutes.
