Retired professor of social work and sociology. Left teaching a bit earlier than anticipated due to constant funding cuts that made program direction impossible. I have been a proud liberal since the 1980s due to Ronald Reagan.
I’ve seen drunks at the far end of the bar talk more coherently.

This is a crucial distinction! There is a difference between being anonymous and being confidential. What is taking place here is that the donors are confidential to the public, not anonymous.

Johnson ceases to be Speaker when the new Congress convenes in 2027. The first thing that takes place is the election of the Speaker. If the Dems are in the majority they will of course elect a new Speaker. The new Speaker is sworn in by the clerk. After that the Speaker swears in the other members.

If the Dems win all of the elections, Johnson would no longer be Speaker.

Of great historical interest, Hitler had the same attraction to this type of architectural design. Albert Speer created designs highlighting this type of monolithic structures. Hitler loved it.

Watch the video again. They did have a man in the end zone but the ball went beyond the end zone hitting the backboard. Once the ball hits the backboard it’s a dead ball.

With the rule that 1 point is awarded when the other team fails to return the ball out of the endzone, the strategy in a case like this is to just kick the hell out of the football, not caring if it goes between the goal posts.

She, like her boss, is a joke. Nothing else needs to be said.

As our economy tanks, he does this. But no surprise, a malignant narcissist is his own worst enemy. And, they don't read the room well.

When a narcissistic autocrat knows things aren't going the way he had planned, he doesn't learn from this and reverse course; he doubles down and makes things worse as he attempts to seize more power. This is not going to end well!

Totally agree! I posted something similar. Great minds think alike! 😀

I think it's more of an issue of there being a one-year-old being supervised by a 10-year-old. That being said, what is accomplished by arresting this man? Bring in Child Protective Services to do a family assessment to assess overall risk, and then setup services to help this guy!

The total lack of understanding that the judicial branch acting as a check on power as expressed by the other two branches uses an appellate process is mind boggling.

I will assume this is satire.

Look at this way, if you want someone to leave a cult you don't shame them. It reinforces what the cult told them - you have no family except for our family. You will be ostracized and demonized if you leave. So what does one accomplish by doing this? Typically, they return to the cult.

Informed voters are the ones who tend to vote in off-year, special elections - and they also tend to vote more progressively. Those are ominous signs for the MAGA crowd.

Maybe SNL could do a skit!
