Wow, Boebert got worked up. Wonder what that was about.



Maybe because of this? House votes to punish Gosar for video depicting killing of AOC?

Or was it something local? FBI raids homes of Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters and Lauren Boebert’s former campaign manager.

Who needs soap operas when you have Congress? :roll:

McCarthy filibusters, even though there is no filibuster in the house.
AOC allegedly interrupts McCarthy to say she voted for Biden to be a new FDR
Fox

"Just a few weeks ago, Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger said, ‘Nobody elected Joe Biden to be FDR,’" House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said in a blustering speech against Biden's Build Back Better legislation on Thursday.

Right at that moment, a female voice shouted out, "I did."

CNN
McCarthy was able to hold the floor indefinitely under the procedures of the House, which say the majority leader and the minority leader get what's called a "Magic Minute" at the end of floor debate, meaning they can speak for as long as they want. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi used a similar tactic as minority leader in 2018, speaking for more than eight hours on the House floor in a speech about young undocumented immigrants, the previous record for a floor speech.
Once the legislation passes the House, it will face key hurdles in the Senate, with a fight looming over a controversial tax provision and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia still not on board.

States fighting to be the most Trumpian
zealous officials seem to be trying to outdo one another in outraging liberals, known as “owning the libs”.
‘Owning the libs’
Republican state parties’ rightward spiral has included promotion of Trump’s “big lie” about electoral fraud, white nationalism and QAnon, an antisemitic conspiracy theory involving Satan-worshipping cannibals and a child sex-trafficking ring. It can find bizarre and disturbing expression.

Arizona staged a sham “audit” of the 2020 presidential election that only confirmed Biden’s victory in the state. Last month in Idaho, when Governor Brad Little was out of the state, his lieutenant, Janice McGeachin, issued an executive order to prevent employers requiring employees be vaccinated against Covid-19. Little rescinded it on his return.

The Wyoming state party central committee this week voted to no longer recognise the congresswoman Liz Cheney – daughter of the former vice-president Dick Cheney and a hardline conservative – as a Republican, its second formal rebuke for her criticism of Trump and vote to impeach him for his role in the US Capitol attack.

Nina Hebert, communications director of the state Democratic party, said: “Wyoming is not exempt from the extremism that Trump has intentionally cultivated and fuelled and continues to court today.

“He was a popular figure in Wyoming in the 2016 election and he retains that popularity amongst voters in the state, which I think is the most red in the nation.”

Gerrymandering is a longstanding problem, Hebert said, but Trump’s gleeful celebration of the 6 January riot has opened floodgates.

“They have created situations where Republican-controlled state legislatures have no reason to pretend even that they’re not just trying to hold on to power. This has become something that is acceptable within the Republican party.”

The shift has also been evident in policy in Florida, Texas and other states where Republicans have taken aim at abortion access, gun safety, trans and voting rights. Often, zealous officials seem to be trying to outdo one another in outraging liberals, known as “owning the libs”.

The trouble with the dead is that once they start voting, they just can't stop.
ELLEN SAUERBREY says dead people voted in Maryland last year. Why does she have to make it sound so dirty? The cemetery vote is as American as cherry pie. Cemetery voters (also known as the tombstone bloc) have been responsible for the victories of some of our best-known Americans, and the defeat of some well-known ones, too.

For example, in 1960 John F. Kennedy ran against Richard Nixon for the presidency. As returns began to come in election night it appeared a single state could make a difference. Kennedy called Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley to find out how things looked.

"With a little bit of luck and the help of a few friends, you're going to carry Illinois," Daley promised.

Daley's Cook County machine held back reporting the Chicago vote till the rest of the state was in, then gave Kennedy the margin of victory -- a mere 8,858 out of nearly 5 million cast. How many were dead, no one will ever know.

It has become part of American political lore that those graveyard precincts alone made Kennedy president. It's a myth. He was elected with 303 electoral votes to Nixon's 219. Switch Illinois' 27 and Kennedy still wins, 276-246.

But in Texas, the home state of Kennedy's running mate, Lyndon Johnson, the dead also did their civic duty; in one county with 4,895 registration, turnout was 6,138, overwhelmingly Democratic. Switch Texas and Illinois and Nixon wins, 270-252.
