Well, Floriduh RepubliCon voters came through again. Obviously happy with electing people who will go to DC and do nothing for them. The fucking stupidity of some voters is still beyond astounding.
Florida District 1 wasn’t a gimme, either. Given that @gayforcongress MATCHED Josh Weil’s vote percentage in a district that the press practically ignored during this special election, I’d say just as many kudos should come her way as Mr. Weil is getting. More, since this District went for Trump by 7 more points than District 6.
After seeing nine of his cohort break and vote with Democrats, US Speaker of the House "MAGA" Mike Johnson threw a tantrum and sent everyone home for a week.
Today is municipal elections for my town -- city council, school board, etc. I already voted, by mail.
I Googled everyone on the ballot I could. A lot of times, the candidates' positions on issues were so close together that I resorted to vibes. "This incumbent has a reputation as a showboat who only cares about Black people. But this ex-military dude looks like a white meathead if I ever saw one. Black guy."
Hopefully I voted for everyone I should have. The city has been pretty well-run the last few years, in any case.
Folks remember to mount up and if it's time to vote for you, get out there. The more members of the unreconstructed party that you defeat, the more likely it is that we get even a modicum of a check on the Executive Branch.
Th Hill has the stats on Senate speeches. It’s about an hour old, Booker has already passed Cruz for fourth place. If he goes to 7:19 eastern it’s a new record.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free practice thereof" are words that are not hard to understand at all.

Ta, Marcie. No elections in NY yesterday; curious about how all this shakes out.

Mikey can go piss up a rope!

I can't believe that Elno shit- (not cheese) head is allowed to do this stuff.
Welcome to the group... of sane law abiding citizens

"I'm the Babby Stoat, and I approve this message."
Also I was wrong, Johnson cancelled ALL votes this week. No House votes til next week.
A bunch of Rebs bailed on him over the proxy vote issue. This is his mature, well-considered action. https://premium.boingboing.net/p/republican-coalition-in-congress
Like it would matter?
Does he not have the votes he needs?

Christian Nationalist Broadcaster Doug Billings Is Running For Governor In Kansas

His platform is to create a militia to attack "Satanists".
Serious rapist vibe on that guy.
Stranger danger BIGLY.
Wait til he finds out that the only people who actually believe in Satan are Christians. Never mind, he'll never know that.
That dour looking dude looks too damned much like the late, hateful Rush Limbaugh.
Maybe he's dead like Rush Limpballs?
Someone should hack that to 'Stalinists' on the website
Santa-ists
Umbrage, grumble, grumble.

That is fucking ridiculous and I hate that.
Seriously, are these people high as fuck?
