and where was Kinzinger's chickenshit ass yesterday? tweeting that he was on baby duty and couldn't be there? you fucking serious, Clark? you couldn't get away for a few minutes and pretend to want to save democracy?

I agree with whomever said it above. they know something. more than 0 R's besides Cheney would have been there yesterday based off the comments the few days after J6 from the likes of McConnell and Graham (yes I know they're senators). this is a circling of wagons the like of which we probably haven't see since the start of the civil war. the rat king is forming

Dude, his wife is about to have a baby.

That looks like a watch Trump would wear golfing or to play tennis.  You know?...a real sportsman's timepiece.

I guess it's more that I don't take him at his word. His tweet came off more like someone rooting their team on, not the super fucking serious thing it is. he's already announced retirement, so he doesn't lose anything by being a no show.

and yeah, I probably am being a little callous and if she gives birth in the next few days it'll just reinforce what I already know - I'm an asshole.

but yeah, it just seemed a little too convenient, but guess time will tell

no, please draw me a diagram

Well, you start with the seating chart of the southern endzone at DKR.  And then where the team runs out?....that's where baby is gonna come out.  

Only natural labor can be finicky.  Starts and stops, or doesn't start and stop as it were, on its own time.  My wife's second labor was all over the board.  

Probably a good thing the Kinzinger baby's birthdate isn't January 6th for myriad reasons.

that makes it even worse imo.

Not if he and his wife are quarantining in order to be as safe as possible when they get admitted to the hospital.

We’re recommending soon to deliver parents to test and quarantine for 72 hours prior to a scheduled induction or C-section. If they can’t then they both have to be masked up at all times.

Sucks but we’re already critically short staffed and have 100+ employees out sick.

Some of the Senators were attending the funeral of a colleague in Georgia--McConnell was one of them.

However, that doesn't mean that the wagons are not circling. The Democratic Party organized the events, but then, they do have the majority and also the Oval Office. This overt absence was a statement and pretty galling. It was a moment of silence and the GOP couldn't be bothered. Heck, they could've shown up and instead of thinking about the officers defending them, been thinking about how it almost succeeded and we would've been none the wiser, but they are the most fragile of beings and LIz Cheney, not my favorite representative, at least had the backbone to do what was right even if it was not what was easy. I hope those men don't use the term 'balls' to represent courage because theirs sure as hell shrivel in fear.

Quote

Gabby Giffords, a Democrat, represented Arizona’s 8th Congressional District in the U.S. House from 2007 to 2012.

I’ve been thinking a lot about anniversaries this week.

This Saturday, Jan. 8, marks the 11th anniversary of the day I was shot. And Thursday marked one year since violent insurrectionists assaulted the U.S. Capitol.

Two commemorations, two days apart: the day my community and I were attacked, and the day our country and our democracy were.

Most people think of anniversaries as things worth celebrating — a wedding, perhaps. And while I certainly value these types of anniversaries — my husband, Sen. Mark Kelly, and I recently celebrated 14 years — I also see the worth in honoring the difficult reminders, which give us the opportunity not only to look back but to look ahead.

 

In the gun violence prevention movement, we recognize far too many solemn anniversaries. In February, it’s Parkland. In June, it’s Pulse. In October, it’s Vegas. In December, it’s Sandy Hook. And so many more our country doesn’t mark. But that does not make them any less worthy of remembrance. The work my organization, Giffords, does is meant to prevent these unmarked tragedies every bit as much as it’s meant to prevent mass shootings such as the one that upended my life in 2011.

 

Last year was my shooting’s 10th anniversary, a major milestone. This year is quieter and leaves more time for reflection; I don’t mind that at all. I hold space for both the pain of the tragedy and the loss of six beautiful people, as well as gratitude for the path my life has taken since.

 

I choose to look at this anniversary as one of overcoming, not just one of tragedy. As with the marking of a new year, I ask myself: How have I changed and grown in the past 12 months?

 

For one thing, I’m surer now than ever that life is a gift. I sometimes feel I must live largely and boldly enough to make the people who lost their lives on Jan. 8, 2011, proud. Like Christina-Taylor Green, who would be 20 years old now, perhaps in college, her future bright and unspoken for.

But it’s not only reflecting on my own attack that has led me here. On Jan. 8, 2011, my life was in grave danger. On Jan. 6, 2021, my husband’s was, along with the lives of so many of our lawmakers. With a year’s distance, I see more and more parallels between the attacks. Both turned grievance into violence.

 

The insurrection attempt is a stain on our democracy. One year later, we must take stock and ask whether we have done enough to condemn violent rhetoric and prohibit guns at state capitols and polling places, where they can be used to harass and intimidate.

 

I fear the answer is no.

Our country must reject this dangerous, antidemocratic threat. From the anti-Asian hate crimes we’ve seen during the pandemic, to the intimidation of public health officials, even to the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, we know all too well that when bitterness and divisiveness grow and then arm themselves, tragedy ensues.

We must rise above this if we wish to avoid more bloodshed. There are simple steps we can take: Individuals convicted of hate crimes should not have access to guns. Language invoking violence should be condemned, not celebrated. Weapons should be barred from state legislatures and voting booths alike.

 
 

It’s true we can’t always control the outcome of our efforts, and wishing won’t take us back to how things were before — before armed intimidation became commonplace, before the pandemic, before Jan. 6. But if the effort is not there, we are destined to stay stuck, frozen in place as time moves ahead without us. I know well that the path of reflection and action is harder and bumpier. But I believe it’s worth it.

 

So I play the French horn, study the Torah and bike the Tour de Tucson. I do my part to build a future free from gun violence. Even when it’s hard for me to learn a new speech or master a new skill — or fight for our democracy — I focus not on what could have been, but what can be.

i believe the “plan” was to have those contested states not have their votes tabulated, which would’ve left both candidates short of 270. in theory, this would’ve triggered a series of events ending with the house deciding, and eventually each state getting one vote.  

if you squint hard, it almost makes sense. 

Yeah, but objecting to them and having it seconded only sends it to the separate chambers for debate and vote.  This happened.  Both Houses voted to overrule the objection and accept the votes.  I guess the part that they were really counting on was that Pence would ignore the votes to overrule the objection and sustain it from the podium. Something he does not have the power to do.

Sounds like something Peter Navarro would concoct.

In case y’all haven’t noticed it’s way past time to give a single fuck what trump supporters want or desire.

Just imagine you’re the newly appointed AD at Texas named Stevie P and the secretary buzzes you to say a UT fan is here and wants to talk. You reply how much money does he have and she says not much. You reply I don’t give no fucks and tell her to send him on his way.

That’s how you should treat trump supporters from now on.

for him to be the guy that shows up to support his daughter, and the only R that shows up, is beyond surreal

i believe in eternal opportunity for repentance, and the Christian value of forgiveness

he earned it today

can't believe i said that

but he did

Fuck Dick Cheney and his baboon heart.

It's been this way for a long ass time.  The objective problem is that anyone who still supports dotard and the republicans are not persuadable voters.  They are cult members.  The goal for the next few years isn't to try and flip people back from the cult, it's to a) make sure people who voted against dotard continue to vote against him and his ilk and b) persuade people who don't normally vote to vote.

Yeah except it's a whole caravan of them with jacked trucks and flags, Lakeway realtors with wrapped Suvs. Packing heat, maybe some pipe bombs. And that's just a whole bunch of UT fans, not the sec sec crowd looking to bring back Jim Crow for non football players.

What kind of proof do you need, a picture of the placenta?

You know, we don't combined enough social media with birthing events these days.  Just workshopping this, but would people be interested in attending a Placenta-Eating party over Zoom?  Strongly For/For/Neutral/Against/Strongly Against?

Good Lord man, the *gender reveal parties have been bad enough. What do you want now, a vertically held phone in the birth canal followed by some sort of incendiary device that burns down the hospital?

 

*I am so glad we elected to call immediate family with the news of the impending birth and waited until the actual birth to send out small announcements. Poor kids, they were so deprived. 🙄

Isn't the placenta incendiary by nature?  I dunno, I was just mixing the idea of the placenta photo as suggested by @TexasEd with the tweet demand from @Longhorn_Fan68    whatever money we make from the zoom/social media version of the placenta eating ritual... it will go to either the wreath fund or the Chola Canteen Fund at the Bryan Federal Correction Facility that I've already started pumping money into.  

My plan after our first born was to do what my father did, go into the lobby with a cigarette and whiskey and call the new grandparents from a payphone with the good news.  Apparently none of those things are possible anymore...so I called wife's parents first since it was their first grandchild and then my mother second.  And at the birth of the second baby, I called mom first since our youngest carries mom's first name as her middle name, and then her parents second.  Sadly, no whiskey, no Lucky Strikes.  But between both babies, we sent out a grand total of zero tweets, zero facebook posts, zero instagram pics, but somebody did bring me a jigger of cocktails on day 3 to discretely enjoy in the little dad's lounge area.  So that kinda harkened back to a different time, felt my dad around me while I enjoyed one and then went to the hospital chapel to pray.

With one of my children, the placenta was abrupting but I wouldn't call that incendiary. You know those hospital folks can really move fast if they need to and for that I am grateful.

He acknowledged Trump lost the election, he voted to impeach Trump, he’s on the Jan. 6 committee, but you think he’s afraid to attend a memorial service? Do you think he’s just making up the story that his wife is expecting?

I have absolutely no reason to doubt him.

It should rank decently up there. You have US intelligence agencies coercing nave citizens into a photo op riot. Add in Antifa and other known leftest groups as additional actors to create the image the left wants. This is all used to attack the right unjustly.

I know I’m a page behind and it’s a Chicago movie, but does About Last night have a model in a one piece with a Mets hat in the movie playing softball? I have been trying to find the source on that for a couple months and my dick is getting real tired

Like a one-piece bathing suit?  Just out there on the diamond?  I'd like to think I'd remember that.  Maybe.  I do remember their softball team was affiliated after their pub hangout Mother Malone's so it had a big "M" on the cap and jersey.  Not really Mets, but kinda.  It was all dudes, I think that was the premise.  A bunch of the guy's girlfriends were watching the "Big Game" and Demi joined them and met Rob Lowe.  I just remember, as a yute, that Demi Moore was just peak smoke.  And she was either in partially nude/faux lovemaking scenes or they had in her in the most unflattering outfits you could ever possibly imagine.  The big romantic finale at Grant Park...and she's biking in a baggy flannel shirt and worse overalls.  But that's 80's rom-com for you.  

Lemme know when you find out that Mets model movie.  It's fun to go back and remember what passed as soft-porn to us in the 80.s.
