The Targets around here are quite a distance away. I've always been able to get pretty fast appointments, except for the first one, when the vaccines were in relatively short supply and you had to sit in an online line waiting and then finding out they ran out. I finally found one at a Sam's Club about 45 minutes away.
Have to say I still don't get the thing where the minority party (Democrats) are morally prohibited from voting to bring the bill to the floor FOR DEBATE. Where amendments can be offered and various rhetorical points made. Why not? It's just another step in the process, the bullshit border/abortion/whatnot stuff is never going to survive, not this term anyway. Any tiny little step away from Immoveable Object politics seems like a good thought to me.
In a nutshell, advancing to the floor is one step closer to a passable bipartisan solution, which we need for the good of the country, see the OP.
But my more general point is that the reflexive nature of this is ... very ugly. Agreeing to debate something isn't the same as either approving or opposing it, it's rather better. It's not as if the floor time is being consumed with anything useful at the moment. lBring the donkeys out and let them bray in public. If that really does advance their cause when all done, then God help us anyway.
Restored regular order? wtf is that boy smoking? I want to know so I can avoid it. It's only been 2-3 months since there were pictures of a guy's actual, in living color, penis being used as evidence for ????? which definitely equaled Something. They swear.
Maybe if Republicans stop having temper tantrums and damaging the government, people will stop blaming them for having temper tantrums that damage the government. Just a thought.
I can't in my wildest imaginings picture a member of the House Democratic conference telling Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she had to come into "full compliance" or else. Of course, Nancy was savvy enough not to need fifteen votes to become Speaker and didn't have to sell her soul to do it either. They hate her cause they ain't her.
Good luck, Kev. You bought this ticket, so enjoy the ride.
Chip Roy seems to think that a CR that contains "a 30-day, 8% cut to the non-defense, non-veteran federal government with the best border security bill we've ever had attached to it," will pass the Senate, he's even more isolated in his goddamn Freedom Caucus bubble than any of those shitheads.
As it is, just the limiting of the CR to 30 days should be a non-starter - and it's clear that Roy needs to "bash" himself if he's "bashing stupid"
points to the freedom caucus, the howler monkeys and the magats and drawls in adam savage: "well there's your basic problem"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, shit, Marty!
“Why after I murder people does everyone blame the stacks of dead bodies on me?!?”

“Name one time that we’ve shut the government down and we haven’t got the blame.”
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
As I posted elsewhere,
"I never do nuthin' wrong, but I always get the blame!"

That's my shitty Rep. and he's not wrong here...
See? They don’t even hear what they’re saying, yet this’ll be a talking point you eventually hear regurgitated by your Faux-addicted brother-in-law.
And now, intransigent House (R)s will just dick around waiting to see what happens to Menendez and our (D) “majority” in the Senate.
Just lock 'em in until they do their jobs. No four-day weekends until you work this out, assholes.

But I am not a politician so fuck me.
Naw...we need to let them FAFO

One who voted against Qevin's Rules Vote was Marjorie Traitor Greene. Wasn't she Qevin's biggest ally just a few short months ago? I believe she was.
LESSON: Never turn your back on Marjorie Traitor Greene because that's where she's most likely to stab you.
Excellent tpyo!
Jimmy McNulty wasn't always at at fault for things. There were occasionally times he was innocent of blame.
McNulty's Riding the Boat!
Yeah but then he'd screw that up, too.
aww, poor babby golden, lol

I believe "intense fellowship behind the curtain" is a new-age term for circle jerk.
Matt Gaetz will have you know that he routinely finishes first, third and seventh in circle jerks.
With McCarthy as the pivot man?

If I may paraphrase a quote from HBO's unappreciated 1990 western, El Diablo:
He wanted to be Speaker real bad. So now he's Speaker. Real bad.
She would have laughed, then unhinged her jaw and swallowed them whole.
Two thumbs up for the puppy gif over seeing Kevin's face! That's the kind of decision making that makes this place great.
i can't stop watching it.
