You’re worrying about parliamentary procedure when we are literally in danger of losing the republic. They don’t care about the rules. They ignore court orders and subpoenas. And when they finish taking control of voting and tabulating,it’s game over. While you’re saying, “not much we can do!”
If you honestly think that letter-writing is all that can be done, this is why we are lost. I am not taking about rules. The other side does not care about rules. It is time for true leadership. And the Dems have none.
To be fair, she is unbelievably dumb as well as sycophantic.
We are unable to move forward as a country because of all the assholes who insist on clinging to their “heritage.”
If only you were part of a political party whose leaders would, you know, do something other than write strongly worded letters.
It’s just hilarious that conservatives think we can all vote on paper ballots on the same day and they can all be hand-counted by midnight on Election Day. Like, math is not your strong suit, is it?
Right, but red states will just do it, won’t they? And say they have authority because their guy said it. And then someone files suit and then it gets to SCOTUS and we’re screwed.
“Yes. Because our brain-dead voters care about the former and not the latter. Also, they don’t know what ‘former’ and ‘latter’ mean.”
Why is this guy so fucking stupid
If you were vocal about the Cracker Barrel rebrand and silent on the church shooting, you are why we are where we are.
Mike makes some good points here, so be sure to read to the end.
But wait until you read the letter Chuck Schumer is going to write.
The sandwich may still face charges, but it had enough lettuce to hire a good attorney.
Yeah, I was intrigued by the premise but it’s craptacular.
Not only is saying a team “punched their ticket” not physically correct anymore, IT’S COMPLETELY HACKNEYED AND YOU ARE A LAZY HACK IF YOU WRITE IT.
And yet…here we are. Those people’s opinion, sadly, carried the day last November. It would have been exponentially easier to have stopped all this then. And we did not. Precisely because there are a lot of those people. They may not count. But their votes did. Unfortunately.
If they did, they would not have been chosen. This whole administration is a GPS that reveals the worst people ever.
“And that’s all I have to say about that.”
“Yes, but as long as people who don’t look like me suffer, I am okay with all that,” said 77 million people.
In his defense, Ron is not bright.
Still as funny as nine years ago today.
It worked, sadly.

The Hill is a POS.
They are going to need a lot of windows for all these people to fall out of.
We were all supposed to have full-blown AIDS by now, according to That Other Crackpot POS.
They want paper ballots cast the day of and all counted by midnight that night. Because they can’t do math very well.
In their minds, it is a pejorative that means “weak.” And when you have a faux strong man at the top of your party, it is an insult. An insult from sixth grade, but an insult nonetheless. Culture wars are all these people care about. Seriously.
All three of these people are insanely dumb. Now imagine how dumb you have to be to vote for any of them.
“I know you already paid for ESPN+, and we SAID you could watch games on that, but THIS game is only on ESPN Unlimited.” GFY, ESPN.
“Currently in use” is a fine and appropriate caveat, but your story does not say that.
Given Rickwood Field opened five years before Bosse, no, Bosse is not the third-oldest pro ballpark. (If you include one, you have to include the other.) Warren Ballpark in Bisbee, Arizona actually opened before any of them but its pro history has been spotty. So, whatever. But Rickwood is older.
On this date in 1940, the sports editor of the New York Daily News suggested the Yankees had been infected with polio by Lou Gehrig, which explained why they were then in fifth place in the American League, 10 games back, after winning the World Series in 1939.
It’s not the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social, it is real.
Yes but it was specifically referring to the skirmishes between musicians and their soda ads. Putting just “rock and roll” at the end of a chronological song that spans 1949-1989 makes no sense. And the CD’s liner notes literally say “Rock and Roller Cola Wars.”
“Rock and roller cola wars,” one thing, not two.
Hence the idea that we have exactly the government we deserve.
I hope so, else someone should have told him to stop running somewhere around attempt 180. (FWIW, the record is 42 by one Rickey Henderson in 1982.)
“Realised” was the tell there.
“Let me tell you what, I like goals,” says the analyst on USL’s Phoenix/Tampa Bay game on ESPN2, as if that is a controversial position.
“On Saturday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly dismissed the papers as a ‘multi-page lunch menu’ and suggested leaving the information on a public printer was not a security breach.” Nah, once you have discussed military strikes on non-secure phone apps, nothing is a security breach.
The objective has always been to de-stabilize NATO and install an easily manipulated POTUS who would look the other way as Russia takes whatever it wants. Objective almost accomplished. And certainly will be.
It rains maybe 7 inches a year here in a good year. Tonight there are flood warnings.
Then don’t put them on ESPN, either.
And now it is canon, like Obama not being available during Katrina.
That was TOTAL bs.
Y’all get that all the social media posts in the world didn’t keep the 2024 election from going the way it did, right? Why TF do you insist it will work now?
Today’s Wordle can eff off, and that’s all I have to say about that.
Not even in the top 10% of crazy in Florida.
Good thing they won’t just ignore the ruling.
Wait, press conferences can stop crime? We have been doing things way wrong all this time.
It was never about how you got here.
A very different type of post-nut clarity.
Ooh, maybe a chance for blacksmithing to come back?
It’s so hot in Arizona, Jehovah’s Witnesses are just tagging people on social media and calling it a day.
All I know is…the next jobs report will be the best in US history.
“Yeah. And we are going to keep doing all that stuff, too.” If the leaders of the theoretical opposition party would realize they can’t Sunday Show us out of this, they might make some progress?
If you want to watch college kids play soccer, go watch college soccer. Making their summer gigs into some morality play about “the national championship we deserve” or some such nonsense is navel-gazing hyperbolic schlock.
Unpossible, right?
God, the #Argos suck. #pulltogether
I know many European players came this way in Stark’s day but wonder how many US-born players went that way.
Archie Stark never played in Europe, did he?
Great reset by the D-Man from C-Town. Rack him.
Would have been exponentially easier last November. But despite a billion dollars, some folks could not beat the worst candidate in history, who telegraphed exactly what he was going to do.
Baseball did not nearly collapse in the wake of the 1919 World Series. By the time the trial happened, Babe Ruth had 34 home runs and the game was not in danger of collapse. Reform was needed to restore public trust, obviously. But it did not get near the point of collapse. That’s hyperbole.
Trump could be all over the files and Fox would lead with the best-known Dem who is in them and milk that for a week and Trump would claim the files totally exonerate him.
The opposition party has had several seemingly easy messages over the last 10 years. How come we’re here?
Flannigan?
Because they know for certain their base is illiterate and have a strong suspicion enough of the rest of the country is that they can just dismiss anyone who says otherwise. Do you all get that this has been this administration’s MO forever? Keep saying complete lies, double down. Win elections.
How come this has not happened yet?
Just not certain religions, right?
I think I had that one back in the day. Who was the artist on that?
You’d think, right? Now let’s see it. Because from here it looks like they are going to just keep on doing whatever they want and ignoring anyone who tells them they can’t, and just overturning any 2026 election result that might impede that.
I will believe there are consequences when I start seeing, you know, consequences.
It’s almost like we have been saying that for months and months. My gosh, these people.
To be fair, it’s only like 80 million people, tops.
And absolutely nothing will happen to him, most likely. We are past the point where shameful behavior actually has consequences.
Oklahoma might be the answer to both.
Or, shoulda had better lobbyists. One.
You know why? Because there are no consequences. They don’t have to hide anything. Their base will never desert them and the opposition party is spineless.
You could literally write the conclusions of this committee today, it is that obvious what they will be.
The weird part is that QAnon is based largely on the idea that there is this large ring of pedophiles that has to be stopped. They are not prepared for that ring to be led by their people. Not at all.
And yet…they will just continue to do whatever he wants. Because his base will never desert him, and Congress is afraid of the violence his supporters will bring upon them if they attempt to rein him in.
If only James Comer believed in the power of the subpoena.
Absolutely true. And predictable. This was obviously going to happen. And half the electorate said that was fine with them.
There is no bottom. You might think there is. But we are six months into this thing.
It’s cute and quaint that anyone believes there will be elections in 2026.
And everyone says, “Yeah, that tracks.”
He’s not going to go on any show that would do that. Nicolle Wallace might do that. But it feels like he would not take that chance or he would just walk off. But, again, it would have been exponentially easier to stop the bill last November than now. Dems are not blameless.
Newsweek sucks royal ass.
That would require leadership. We are all going to be toes-up because they couldn’t beat the worst candidate in America history with a billion dollars.
Look who suddenly believes in courts of law.
And Chuck Schumer will send a strongly worded letter.
Because that’s Fox. (That’s Mark Levin, isn’t it? He has no soul.)
Well, I mean…same reason as now.
Just once I would like to step off an airplane and have someone hand me a hamburger.
Had to happen eventually, I imagine. This is legit my Uber PIN right now. Nice.
Hey remember when high ranking people discussed war plans on an unsecured phone app? That wasn’t that long ago. Anything ever happen with that?
So the guy who has never faced repercussions for anything in his entire life is suddenly going to be taken down by this? Okay, got it.
Well, yeah. But 25 years ago he was just a lying dipshit racist with limited negative impact on the world.
