Abbott being Abbott
Does JohnnySack have a mental or emotional disorder? I just received more than 12 neg reps from him in short order, going back from posts of mine from more than half a year ago. Some of those posts were commiserating about the loss of a loved one or pet. Seems stable

Abbott being Abbott
I hear you and though I haven't had the experience you've had, I also feel like I'm just barely hanging on. I'm so sorry for your loss. And I agree wholeheartedly with your analogy. Similarly, I've felt for a while now that Texans are in an abusive, domestic violence type relationship with the elected leadership. Some love the drama, don't really understand the damage, and keep going back for more, some are under a Stockholm Syndrome type delusion, and many more are just desperate to escape but can't.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
If there's any one lesson to take from the Trump Administration, it's that obstruction works. Especially now that the R's are so entrenched in team play and so advantaged by the systems they exploit. And they weren't particularly savvy or organized about it. It's just that our institutions are not equipped to stand up to that level of blatant stonewalling.

Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
So more transmissible variants are starting down the road to becoming dominant strains and experts have advised to double-mask in more high-risk situations. Abbott: Hurr durrr must be time to UNMASK

Abbott being Abbott
He essentially just canceled our spring break trip, because we are not going to any fun public places when there will be maskless fucking goons everywhere taking their "freedom" legs out for a spin. He also just consigned my extremely high-risk dad who only now got the first shot to more time being homebound. Heckuva job, Greggie

Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body in Congress? Oh you mean Marjorie!

Texas deep freeze carnage thread
So tankless exterior water heater seems like a fucking bad idea. Anyone else out for hot water for who knows how many weeks? Tech came by and said it's just the inlet t- pipe that's cracked, but getting that part will take longer than getting a whole new unit. At several thousand $, a new unit doesn't even meet the deductible, so guess it'll be cold showers and no dishwasher for what will seem like forever. FML

Well, Shiny Cat has weeks to live....
I'm really sorry, Brisket. I've been through this with four cats. It's much better to let them go in a humane, controlled way than to wait too long and have them go in a traumatic way. Do you have a vet that can do it at your home? We had the best vet who would come out on short notice and we felt much better about the whole thing that way. As in still truly sad, but also relieved. You've given Shiny Cat a lot of care and a good long life, and a loving end is the best, last gift you all can give him.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
Someone please tell me not to believe this article...can't take much more doom and gloom. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/covid-19-variant-found-in-uk-spreads-like-wildfire-british-experts-fear-what-will-happen-if-us-won-t-lock-down/ar-BB1dPZgc excerpts: Simon Clarke, a professor in cellular microbiology at the University of Reading, said there is an emerging body of evidence suggesting that the B.1.1.7 variant is not only more contagious but also more lethal, a possibility initially raised by British scientists. He said there is anecdotal evidence from hospitals, not confirmed by studies, that the B.1.1.7 variant could harm more younger people. He cautioned it was too early to drawn firm conclusions. He expressed concern about how the United States would deal with B.1.1.7 if, as expected,it becomes entrenched as the dominant variant by the spring. "U.S. coronavirus waves have been based on slower-moving variants," Clarke said. "If a faster-moving one such as B.1.1.7 starts to take off, then you are going to have yourself a problem if you're not prepared to do a strict, broad-based national lockdown," Clarke said, noting that the United States doesn't seem willing to do this. ... Pagel cautioned that if the variant first detected in Britain is allowed to circulate too freely in the USA, it could lead to an even more aggressive variation that could evade vaccines or better target younger people. She said that cases of an older variant could fall rapidly enough that it might look like everything was OK even while a new variant spread. "Effectively, you have two epidemics going on at the same time where one is shrinking, and one is growing," she said. "That's exactly what happened in the U.K. and seems likely for the U.S."

How Fox News works
God Hawley is projecting so hard in that interview that he might have a hernia. He's also adopted Tucker's feigned outrage look, complete with an aura of stupefied constipation.

Trump Impeachment 2: Insurrection Boogaloo
This fuck will ensure we don't get any break from Trumpism whatsofuckingever and Trump will stay in the game https://www.newsweek.com/lindsey-graham-donald-trump-senate-house-without-you-1569096 Senator Lindsey Graham has said he will ask former president Donald Trump to lend his political weight to the Republicans' quest to take back the House and the Senate in 2022. The South Carolina lawmaker said that after the impeachment process, he would meet Trump to try to persuade him that the former president holds the key to the GOP's future electoral chances. "I'm going to try and convince him that we can't get there without you, but you can't keep the Trump movement going without the GOP united," he told reporters, according to Politico.

Is Manhattan DA's office or the SDNY ever going to work their magic? They've only had years now to get their probable cause in tip-top shape.

Pressure should be applied. Start doing the shit on the Dem side that Mitch does to keep his minions in line. FFS if they want to hold on in the mid-terms the DINOs need to get a clue.

Trump Impeachment 2: Insurrection Boogaloo
If ANY federal indictments come down on Trump, the "criminal justice system is the place for consequences to a former Pres" Repubs will howl at the top of their lungs about it being a political witch hunt and Biden should be impeached etc. etc. Watch.

Trump Impeachment 2: Insurrection Boogaloo
They already litigated the issue of impeaching while out of office and lost. It's bullshit. They should also be estopped from arguing it since they were the ones who delayed trial. Disingenuous thy name is Mitch

Do the Dems think voters will reward them for this? That the R's will be all "thanks, let's get to work on bipartisan solutions!" ? But MUH VACATION

Trump Impeachment 2: Insurrection Boogaloo
Why would Dems need to agree to "drag it out" for 2 weeks plus in order to call witnesses? This isn't a fucking criminal trial. Jesus. Get it done. Stand some fucking ground. My god. Witness testimony is badly needed to make the R's look as bad as they actually fucking are...for near-term and long-term. R's gave them all a smooth buttfucking on SCOTUS, mass obstruction, and supporting a traitor in office. Dems have the White House plus both branches of congress (with tiny margins, true)....fucking take a stand.

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.
