The mark of a great leader!

It’s a completely understandable mistake, the DMV lady switched context from person information to vehicle information without letting the customer know.

Not before global famine, ecological collapse and resource wars happen, unfortunately.

What most people don’t understand is that the filibuster is an abomination that was created by accident. Once it was discovered, it was used for a century to undermine all civil rights legislation. The Senate loved this because the secretly racist Senators could rely on the openly racist ones to target bills they didn’t really want to support anyway.

Over time they strengthened the filibuster while also making it easier to deploy. At this point all that is needed to have a filibuster is for a staffer to email intent of the filibuster in order for it to be in effect. What typically happens is the filibustering party will email the intent to filibuster on a Friday and then everyone who doesn’t support the bill goes home for the weekend and the bill dies.

A super majority requirement in the Senate was never the founders intent. They had tried the super majority requirement in the articles of confederation and it was an abysmal failure.

The filibuster is a tool of oppression and gridlock, and should be abolished.

I’ve had friends in the Old Guard, the unit that provides the sentinels. It’s my understanding you’d never be able to live it down if you left on the rare occasions when it was allowed.

One made me feel sick

The atomoxetine? I get sick if I don’t take it with food. Best results for me are a big meal and taking it in the middle of the meal.

I wanted to try qelbree but my doctor said it would be very difficult to get approved and it’s really expensive.

Two members of Donald Trump’s campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned.

A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60.

When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source.

…

At a campaign event Wednesday, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance dismissed the story, saying, “The altercation at Arlington Cemetery is the media creating a story where I really don’t think that there is one.” Vance went on to add that, “Apparently somebody at Arlington cemetery, some staff member, had a little disagreement with somebody, and they have turned, the media has turned this, into a national news story.”

IIRC, the last time something like this happened, they tried to smear the sentinel and it didn’t work out very well for them.

And yet Kat Abughazaleh was able to do this for her campaign.

It’s right less than half of the year since daylight savings time lasts 34 weeks.

fiscally conservative

It is my experience that one party claims to be fiscally conservative while the other one actually is.

I wonder what he gave Kushner and what he got in return.

You’d think a prospective Speaker of the House would be able to come up with a better lie than “We met about affordability”.

“Un Fuck it!!! I want DO!!!”

More like, criminal administrations always see investigations as a personal attack. Because that’s how they use them.

Indeed. A hit dog hollers.

But more importantly, do they still sing songs of the great tribble hunt?

The friendly handling of Haley Stevens by the Democratic leadership was a real eye opener for me.

My media diet was mainly MSNBC, Sunday talk shows, the times and the post and magazines like the Atlantic and Harper’s. I’d also read Jacobin on occasion and watch Amy Goodman. When we dropped cable (because of Fox News) we started watching youtube and went through a bunch of different channels before settling on Majority Report, Hasan, Breaking Points, Secular Talk, TYT, and a bunch of others.

My SO really liked Secular Talk and I found Kyle Kulinski to be crass and obnoxious but when I fact checked him, I found that he was never wrong. And then he made me laugh really hard one day and I think that broke my Kyle dislike.

A few years ago a family member recommended the IHIP podcast and we immediately loved it. They weren’t too into politics yet but once they did, they really caught fire.

Not a fan of TYT anymore because of Cenk and what’s her name selling out. We’ve recently started to realize that the people we enjoy and trust the most are the ones who take no corporate money. Imagine that.

As far as missing AIPAC is concerned, I was aware of them, but I bought into the propaganda. I would probably still be buying it if Israel hadn’t lost their minds and gone full mask off.

One big problem is that no other senator wants the job.

Senators used to have a lot more power than they do now. They have ceded much of their individual power to leadership over the last 3 decades and I’m afraid this has made them too comfortable in their jobs.
