Splitting the spoiler vote?
Robert Kennedy Jr. Hints Strongly at Third-Party Presidential Bid – The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Cornel West needs to look out.
Looks like a shutdown may be averted but we are defunding the War in Ukraine:
Shutdown Live Updates: House Passes Spending Bill, With Senate Vote Next – The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Since the House immediately adjourned until Monday, we shall see what happens in the other chamber.
The House vote of the Colorado delegation:
Supports: Jason Crow, Yadira Caraveo, Diana DeGette, Doug Lamborn, Joe Neguse, Brittany Pettersen Colo.
Opposes: Lauren Boebert & Ken Buck
WAPO says the Senate vote happens after no more than 2 hours of debate, around 6:30 pm Eastern,
I wonder how much Russian money our traitorous
“patriots” took to further Russian interests by trying to undermine Joe Biden and shut down the government.
They wanted nothing else; they had no policy agenda. Only this….Putin’s priority.
Either cash or Putin has a video of Margorie Taylor Green fellating Bill Clinton which he threatened to release.
Ewwww. I would think even “Easy Zipper” Bill had his standards.
As far as MTG, her big turn-ons are apparentlypower and attention.
and spitroasting.
I remember hearing her say the reason she ran for congress was she was tired of being ignored. She reckoned that as a congresswoman, people would have to listen to her.
MSNBC says that Michael Bennet is holding up the funding bill because of the cutoff of money to Ukraine.
I’m glad!
The short-term CR passed, so no shutdown. They can continue wrangling over the budget for another 45 days. The money for Ukraine will have to be in a separate bill TBD.
And we get to go through this all over again in six weeks!
FWIW, McConnell committed to getting Ukraine funding through the Senate (I believe that is what Sen. Bennet was aiming for).
However, the puss-filled tail of the GOP dog will continue wagging the House with their reign of chaos. Until McCarthy grows a pair and amputates that diseased, unneeded member, we will be subjected to pointless drama and uncertainty for the next 6 weeks.
And along the way to mid-November, Jeffries and his caucus will need to decide how to respond to this:
Gaetz says he will seek to oust McCarthy as speaker this week. 'Bring it on,' McCarthy says (msn.com)
My suggestion: ask each of the 211 Democrats to write down their most fervent wish on a piece of paper and then put together the 25 most popular to present as the price to keep him as speaker.
Apparently, they came up 10% short of enough witless nincompoops willing to disenfranchise almost 1 million Republican voters. But they are optimistic they'll eventually round up enough one day!
Chuck Bonniwell is the same crackbrain who lost his job by wishing for “a nice school shooting”.
Colorado GOP, keep tottering down the road to oblivion, guided by your brain trust of blithering idiots.
This time they got 65%. They seem to be getting closer to the magic number of 75%.
Was this the last chance they had to vote on this before the primary takes place?
Article has a fascinating theme: ""The reason we continue to lose at the ballot box is we allow watered-down candidates to infiltrate our ballot. That is why Republicans don’t vote.""
"The opposition used a statewide initiative to overwhelm our majority by using unaffiliate votes and Democrat votes to overwhelm to handcuff us," he said. "We need to get these handcuffs off. I ask this body to stop complying with our enslavement."
Meanwhile, in the real world of election returns, the 2022 general election showed voting participation by Republicans was above Democrats or Unaffiliated.
Democrats 72.32% Republicans 75.50% Unaffiliated 59.10% All Voters: 66.61%
"The reason we continue to lose at the ballot box is we allow watered-down candidates to infiltrate our ballot."
Watered down? Is that how they describe Heidi Ganahl?
I think, LB, if you're polite, though addled, don't open carry, and are not outraged and obsessed by public urination (right, I didn't forget about litter boxes in schools) you are watered down. The implied threat of violence is the thing. Her very first commercial, that I saw, was a direct personal threat and assault of Nancy Pelosi. For our girl, "in your face!" is the only delivery she has.
“The reason we continue to lose at the ballot box is we allow watered-down candidates to infiltrate our ballot”.
Errr…Umm…. How about because your policies suck, and in order to get elected you have to lie your ass off, and disguise your agenda or the voting public won’t let you get within artillery range of the capital.
Melania Trump 'quietly' renegotiated Donald Trump prenup (pagesix.com)
But what they are ignoring is the fact that if he is transferring anything to her now, those transfer may be declared fraudulent if they leave him unable to satisfy any civil judgments (e.g., Jean Carroll, Leticia James).
Melania may end up as a civil defendant in the collections cases.
Claw back is a wonderous thing.
