The GOP didn't have the votes for many years but that didn't stop them from pulling out every procedural trick possible while screaming at Dems on TV. And now they're in charge.
Lot of people yelling recently "but we don't have the votes!" True! That doesn't mean "immediately quit." (Also not what propter is saying here, to be clear.) It means create a spectacle, make things cause celebres, make the Republican position untenable.
Create bargaining position and force votes.

I lost my grip on my saline spray and sent the nozzle rocketing up my right nostril. Gave me the most severe nosebleed I’ve ever had. I mean it was RUNNING out of there. My wife was ready to take me to the emergency room.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

A couple of astrology accounts followed me recently, and boy, have I never been more sure that somebody didn’t bother to check out my vibe first.

Lotta reasons we’re where we are, but considering the point of political office to be personal fulfillment rather than policy outcomes is sure one of them.

It is very depressing to watch my age cohort get old and pretend we’re badasses for growing up when we did. We had indoor plumbing and air conditioning. We watched TV and played video games. We had microwave burritos. Get a hold of yourselves.

There are two very big music stars of the eighties—one of whom gets a lot of love from the 38-year-olds of Bluesky—I will never be able to tolerate because I worked in a restaurant whose in-store music was these two stars’ greatest hits on a loop.

Fellow guitarists, I am begging you to get your guitar’s neck and/or fret issues fixed instead of just cranking the action up to the ceiling and then selling or giving away the damn thing.

There are multiple national political commentators who earnestly predicted that Eric Adams would be a legitimate presidential candidate and a national figurehead of the Democratic party by now and those commentators still have careers somehow.

The weird truth is that rugged individualism breeds conformity because it tolerates only one kind of person: the rugged individualist.
they’re going to want to kill him for this but he’s so right, individualism as an ideology needs to end

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.
