I just want to see someone punch Ted Cruz in the face.

I'm not kidding. Once Trump is removed from office, he needs to face charges for inciting a riot.

Rudy, your 15 minutes was up long ago.

On the one hand, he's shown himself to be really fucking stupid.

On the other hand, he has way too many voicemail "accidents" that make me wonder if he's deliberately putting this out there, for whatever reason.

The House is more conservative bc of gerrymandering. MTG or Boebert couldn’t win a senate seat, but they can easily win an R+15 house seat 

Yes, that was my point. The house reps are way easier to pressure because Trump has more sway in gerrymandered districts. If he tells an R+15 district not to vote for someone, they are toast.

It's not that he can't read the room.  He wants to be the heir apparent.  He wants Trump's army of dickbags as his own.  This is the motherfucker that everyone needs to keep an eye on.

McConnell may have gotten Hawley to back off.  Apparently, he got Cruz to agree to stop with Arizona.  

If Hawley does not agree, he REALLY doesn't know how to read a room.

Trump, Cruz, and Hawley have cost Mitch his majority.

Hawley and Cruz should be doing everything they can to please Mitch, because Mitch will still be around on January 21st, still running the GOP side of the Senate, while Donnie will be raging from Mar-a-Lago.

Hawley and Cruz though, have other priorities - they give no shits about the party or Congress, this is about 2024.  The Senate was a stepping stone for them, whereas for Turtle, it is what he always wanted, and they have fucked with it.

Be interesting to see what committees they end up on.

Would Cruz and Hawley even care about committee appointments?  All they would want is to get attention with clips of them badgering libs testifying before Congress.   It doesn’t matter what it’s for or whether they’re doing something prestigious or impactful.  Any committee will do.  They’d probably welcome not having real work or responsibility.

If they’re on shit committees they won’t be on TV where there is any kind of testimonials.

They are both on Judiciary which is the highest profile committee. Kamala Harris parlayed her Judiciary appointment into viral clips badgering Sessions/Barr/Kavanaugh into a 2020 presidential run and a VP slot. 

It matters.

Well before today, it was like 140 House Rs who were going to vote against. They lost about 15% of their numbers after today’s coup attempt. 

That's a weird metric.  You can swing 15% of a Congressional vote based on a Capitol raid.  Good to know for my next O&G refinery bill.  I sure as shit know I get a few hundred oilmen to raid that place if I promise enough hookers, blow, and bail money.  Plus, didn't even look like that many people got arrested.  What a dangerous mathematical precedent.

I want to stay up drinking until the Senate finishes the job, but I'm afraid of having a repeat of New Years Day with my head in the toilet....

CNN says they will object to PA and immediately yield to a vote. No talking allegedly

just caught the end of what Pelosi was telling the floor. 11 D reps, 11 R reps, 11 D Sens and 11 R Sens are allowed into the joint session. Is it always that way or is that a resultant of today's failed coup?

 They did it earlier also due to Covid-19

good god, I hope Qanon doesn't get ahold of that information.  11+11+11+11=44!  Oh shit, it's about the 44 previous presidents conspiring to put the 45th president into office for the second time!  AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
