The 15th time was a charm for Kevin Mc-Qanon-rthy. If you are a republican and you are not embarrassed by the actions of the folks who represent your party over the past week, you have not been paying attention. How are they going conduct the people's business if they can't even get their own s*** together?
While the GOP reps were auditioning to join the MMA, Hakeem Jefferies and the democrats were just enjoying the moment and savoring in the obvious difference between the two parties. No one is surprised. This is tfg's party, and we all know that chaos follows everything that he is associated with like a paparazzi follows the Kardashians.
You have to wonder what's in store for this Congress over the next two years. My prediction is that it will be one big mess, and the group in power will get nothing done. They have a feckless and weak leader who seemed to have wanted the speaker's gavel at all cost. A leader without a spine is not a leader, as we have seen from Kevin McQanon-arthy, he is simply a person who will go with the wind to suit his own purpose. This is who the new GOP Speaker is, and as we live out the next two years Americans will get to watch the train wreck that's coming play itself out before our eyes.
Congresswoman, Katherine Clark, said it best:
“Years of blindly pursuing power, currying the favor of special interests and bowing to election deniers has left the GOP in shambles,”....Kevin McCarthy is now being held hostage to his own ambitions by the dangerous members that he’s enabled.”

I can’t really break out the popcorn and enjoy it. The country needs a functioning Congress. It’s not okay to have one party use one of the houses as an extended election campaign vehicle. But that’s what we’re going to experience for the rest of this congressional term.

We just somehow have to get them to raise the debt ceiling, pass the farm bill, and fund the government for fiscal 24.
And that's the rub isn't it? We have to make the government work even when they have the majority, then we have to fix all of the damage they did while they were there, while they fight us for doing so.
Indivisible has a plan to get the trifecta back and pass a democracy bill in 24, because as long as we have all of these gerrymandered districts, the carefully selected electorates will keep electing these feral children to congress.

The problem will, of course be, the endless, disingenuous and superfluous investigations. Speaker for the MAGAts, McCarthy has already threatened the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Mayorkis, with impeachment if he does not step down immediately. They intend to investigate any and all actions by the Biden administration. The laughable, but dangerous investigations of the J6 investigation alone will waste millions of dollars and create legal jeopardy. With a complicit Supreme Court, we are so fucked.

‘Baked Alaska’ Gets 60 Days In Prison

Hey, have you noticed how passive conservatism is? What to do about covid? Or school shootings? Or climate chaos? Their response: deny that those problems exist. Their solution to those problems is for everyone to sit and take it. Conservatism is weak.
“Their solution to those problems is for everyone to sit and take it. Conservatism is weak.”
Not weak. Evil or stupid.
Solving the problems would require making sacrifices that some conservatives don’t want to make. For example, significantly reducing crime would require reducing economic inequality and paying for mental health treatment. To do these things, rich people would have to become less rich. Rich people don’t want to be less rich; they love money. It would also require restricting gun ownership. But rednecks don’t want to give up their guns; they love guns. Rather than making these sacrifices, conservatives would prefer to not solve any of these problems.
So there you go — major problems cannot be solved because of garden-variety selfishness. I’d call that evil.
The second group of conservatives listen to the first group, who are lying and telling them social problems can’t be solved, and even trying to solve them will cause civilization to collapse faster. So it’s better to do nothing and let the country go to hell in a handbasket.
They believe this because they are stupid.
Exactly. Also:
"Rather than making these sacrifices, conservatives would prefer to not solve any of these problems."
A pillar of the southern strategy was enacting things that might hurt poor white people, but were seen as hurting Black people more, so racism figures in there too.

"A pillar of the southern strategy was enacting things that might hurt poor white people, but were seen as hurting Black people more, so racism figures in there too."
I'd actually say that falls under what I said about the second group, regarding the attitude that "social problems can’t be solved, and even trying to solve them will cause civilization to collapse faster."
This is basically the pro-racism argument that has been made throughout history, predicated on the idea that black people (and other POCs) have low intelligence and low character, and therefore can't be accorded basic human rights because they can't be trusted and must be controlled.
From "we need to maintain slavery or else black people will run amok" to "cops need the right to shoot black people with impunity or else crime rates will skyrocket," these are just different iterations of the same argument.
Unscrupulous politicians scaremonger in lots of ways, including by implying that racism is necessary to prevent the collapse of civilization.
Really, anything that left-leaning people want to do is presented as doomed.
Cut global warming?
Civilization will collapse.
Make the economy fairer?
Civilization will collapse.
Make the justice system fairer?
Civilization will collapse.
Reduce various types of discrimination?

Better to just do nothing and live with injustices, rather than try to fix them and risk armageddon.

“NEW YORK, Jan 13 (Reuters) - A New York judge on Friday sentenced Donald Trump's namesake real estate company to pay a $1.61 million criminal penalty after it was convicted of scheming to defraud tax authorities for 15 years.”
The conviction is good, but the penalty is a joke.
17 felonies, 15 years of tax dodging, and the max fine that can be levied against the business is $1.6 million?
Think of what that amounts to as a share of Trump Org’s profits over that period. Now imagine how badly an individual would get hammered for engaging in equivalent chicanery on their tax returns.

Actually, no. Rittenhouse has a Twitter account, on which he spews whatever nonsense he likes, courtesy of Elon.
What he’s mad at is the brewery owner, who has withdrawn the right to hold an event featuring Rittenhouse on his premises.
I’m not sure if that’s because the owner woke up one morning and suddenly realized that it’s wrong to help an ignorant doofus make money off of the infamy he acquired by killing two people and maiming another. Or because it became clear that should the event go forward, there was the potential for an angry mob to burn the brewery down.

I grew up in a house with accessible guns, and my siblings and I never had any problems with that. I'd like to be able to point out my parents' methods for keeping us safe around the guns, but as the youngest child, I never witnessed it in use after it was used on me.
Got my first gun for Christmas when I was 9, if you don't count the BB gun I got when I was 6.
That's pretty young, but we lived on enough acreage that shooting was a safe and normal activity. In fact, we had a 100 yard shooting range right off of the deck.

"George Santos, while calling himself Anthony Devolder, stole $3,000 from a go fund me set up to get a disabled veteran's service dog surgery. The dog died.

House Republicans and Democrats could simply work together and expel him, triggering a special election to fill his seat.
Republicans' majority isn't big, but it wouldn't be in jeopardy even if Santos happened to be replaced by a Democrat. It's hard to see why McCarthy isn't willing to do this, and has even decided to put this clown on committees! He is a walking embarrassment for the GOP; as long as that two-bit conman is in office, the bad PR he generates will never end.
All I can figure is that McCarthy doesn't want to reinforce the precedent that congressmen can be expelled for having bad character because ... well, have you seen the state of his fucking party? It's absolutely teeming with scumbags.
He's also a good distraction from the absolute chaos they are trying to perpetrate.
So you know how Republicans are always whining about being "shadow banned" and discriminated against on social media? From WaPo:
"Congressional investigators found evidence that tech platforms — especially Twitter — failed to heed their own employees’ warnings about violent rhetoric on their platforms and bent their rules to avoid penalizing conservatives, particularly then-president Trump, out of fear of reprisals. The draft report details how most platforms did not take “dramatic” steps to rein in extremist content until after the attack on the Capitol, despite clear red flags across the internet."
Which would go a long way toward explaining how it is possible that DHS had no idea that an insurrection was being planned despite those plans being all over the damn internet for weeks. (Giving them the benefit of the doubt that they actually didn't know and weren't just letting it happen)

"Which would go a long way toward explaining how it is possible that DHS had no idea that an insurrection was being planned despite those plans being all over the damn internet for weeks. (Giving them the benefit of the doubt that they actually didn't know and weren't just letting it happen)"
I don't know how NOT banning crazy talk on social media would make it harder to know what was being planned. It should have made it easier.
So much of the January 6th planning was right out in the open. We'll probably never find out why there wasn't adequate security to protect the Capitol, but something definitely went very wrong there. It's hard not to be suspicious that they either knew and were ordered to do nothing by someone close to Trump. Or that they knew and were simply too cowardly to risk being held responsible in the unlikely even that the riot went ahead even in the presence of lots of armed military personnel, and the soldiers were then forced to gun down a large number of white conservatives on live TV.
*unlikely event
"It's hard not to be suspicious that they either knew and were ordered to do nothing by someone close to Trump."
It was all over the internet for weeks. The way I look at it, if I knew, they had to know. It's their damn jobs.
The other thing that may have played into it is the fact that we didn't show up, on purpose. They should have known that also, but it was a little iffy until the actual riot. That live TV footage would have been a whole different animal had it been a massive clash between MAGA and what they would have called antifa.
Not showing up was a goddamn brilliant tactical move on our part, and if we ever get any of the real planners, it will be because we were able to pull it off.

That's a bummer. If you're a left-leaning person, Ardern is the person you only wish you had running your country. Competent, effective, charismatic, and a profoundly decent person.
Still, it's easy to see why she wants to quit. She's a young mom, the job of prime minister involves extreme time demands and stress, and her party is facing difficult re-election prospects in the fall (largely because voters everywhere often have a stupid tendency to blame politicians for things they have minimal control over, like inflation).

Mrs. Junior and I have been listening to songs like Southern Cross and a few of the classic male 3-part harmonies from Crosby, Stills and Nash. It really was a brand new style of singing. They rolled it out and it sounded so natural, yet never before heard.
She was telling me how he joined up with those Londoners to join the Byrds. I had to picture to myself a young David Crosby travelling to London to seek his fortune and fame. From what I know it was a really crazy music scene for most of the late 60s and into the early 70s. Hendrix, the Who, Beatles, Tull...
I saw John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers in the Spring of 1972 at the Royal Festival Hall. That was a good concert. I was tearing up Room to Move before the show from my seat, echoing throughout the hall. For the last few songs, I got up from my seat and grabbed a seat in the choir loft which was an open pit in front of the stage. About one hundred and twenty English hippies followed me in and the whole place filled up. Good times.
Fergus goes full fascist, again. Perhaps they might not like the answer they are after. Perhaps they already know said answer:
Trump Calls for Journalists to Be Jailed
January 19, 2023 at 5:05 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 164 Comments
Donald Trump called for authorities to arrest the journalists who leaked the draft of the almost-finalized Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision.
Said Trump: “So, go to the reporter and ask him or her who it was. If not given the answer, put whoever in jail until the answer is given. You might add the publisher and editor to the list. Stop playing games, this leaking cannot be allowed to happen. It won’t take long before the name of this slime is revealed!”
A few minutes later he added: “Arrest the reporter, publisher, editor – you’ll get your answer fast. Stop playing games and wasting time!”

“A SCOTUS investigation examined all clerks and low level employees and failed to uncover the source of the Dobbs leak.”
Possibly because maybe it was not a clerk or low-level employee but rather a justice, and they didn’t investigate any of them? Could it be that the one who leaked Alito’s opinion was … Alito?
As DeSantis' War On Woke marches on, Florida has banned the teaching of AP African-American History classes on the grounds of "lacking educational value."
Dude is morphing into Trump 2.0, as fast as he possibly can. Watch out for DeSantis sporting an orange spray tan, weird combover, and ties long enough to reach his knees. I fully expect it to happen in the near future.
A federal judge has fined Trump a million dollars for wasting the court’s time with his baseless, frivolous Stop the Steal lawsuits after the 2020 election.
Yay!
Crosby had a bit part in the early 90's movie "Thunderheart" starring Val Kilmer and Sam Sheperd. The movie was about Indian uprisings on reservations in the 70's and Crosby was a bartender in the "Badlands". Someone threw a molotov cocktail through a window. Crosby and another bar patron ran outside shooting at the getaway car. Crosby then uttered his main line, "God damn prairie Ni##ers."
Judge Middlebrooks: Your lawsuit against Clinton was bogus and an abuse of the legal system. You and your lead counsel owe $937,989.
Fergus: So about that suit against Tish James? Just never mind.
Now for the other judges in the other bogus actions to come together and label Fergus a vexatious litigant.

I think he's trying to be the "smart" trump. He doesn't have the personality or theatrics to be able to do trump. Maybe trump lite?

Another Republican arrested for voter fraud. I guess requiring ID didn't prevent this.

“drumpf's lousy 4 years as Putin's US puppet accounted for nearly 25% of total national debt.”
Just Trump’s tax cuts for rich people will add a couple trillion to over a decade, assuming Congress doesn’t cancel them.
“iowa magats pass bill blocking SNAP users from buying edible food with SNAP cards.”
And this is what Republicans’ fake obsession with the debt is about (obviously fake, since they apparently didn’t care if they increased the debt when they cut rich people’s taxes). The shrieking about the debt is just a pretext to starve the poor, whom they hate.
I used to believe that Republicans only wanted to cut social programs for the poor in order to fund tax cuts for the rich. That it was only a means to an end.
Now I think they actively hate the poor as much as they love and worship the rich. To borrow from Adam Serwer, “the cruelty is the point.”
The GOP is filled with vile people.
Best way for Boy George to get anyone to believe he is not a drag queen is to claim he is a drag queen.
Another new year and pigs are still killing POC for minor traffic offenses and lying about it.
This could be very interesting and informative...

Murderous pig grifting off of the murder exposes diners to video of the murder:
Diners at a Greek restaurant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on Tuesday night were subjected to police body camera footage from the night Breonna Taylor was shot and killed in her Louisville apartment in 2020, according to the local NAACP and restaurant patrons.
The Republican Women’s Club of South Central Kentucky scrambled to find a new venue for an event featuring former-Louisville-police-officer-turned-conservative-author-and-pundit John Mattingly after the initial location for its dinner, the Bowling Green Country Club, said it would no longer host the group. Additionally, gubernatorial candidate and Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles backed out of the event because of the mounting controversy around Mattingly’s attendance, according to Spectrum News in Louisville.
