That summer was Lit. Remember when the folks attacked the white house fence at Lafyette square forcing that orange dude into a bunker. While also providing legal aid to get the rioters released in hours. When K Harris was in the crowd calling the orange dude a Russian asset, while the DEMS danced to the tune of crossfire hurricane. good times.

the face of modern politics. I got my 51%. eff the other 49%. Franklin's “a republic, if you can keep it” line sure is coming to fruition. “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. “Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!”

Though the Lincoln Project has an unusually high rate of small donors, many of its large funders are wealthy donors to Democratic candidates and PACs, including billionaire hedge fund manager Stephen Mandel, Silicon Valley billionaire Ron Conway, and Walmart heir Christy Walton. https://www.influencewatch.org/political-party/lincoln-project/#:~:text=Though the Lincoln Project has an unusually high,billionaire Ron Conway%2C and Walmart heir Christy Walton. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2020/10/lincoln-project-1020-funds https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/the-lincoln-project/C00725820/donors/2022 LMAO..

I thought the post was about Hockel. Not the trees and good folks of this state. The weather canned reply gets blown away by the fact Cali is second in net domestic migration losses.

LMAO. Net domestic migration shows NY, Cali and Ill as leading the nation, in people fleeing from it. while that state you called out. is right near the bottom, cause people are not fleeing it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_net_migration#:~:text=U.S. states by net domestic migration (From June, 8.40 47 more rows https://www.census.gov/dataviz/visualizations/028/ And most of that is from pre 2020 data. https://www.northamerican.com/migration-map And explains the drive for federal power. the large blue states keep losing electoral to the growing red states every census. NY used to have like 45 electoral. https://www.northamerican.com/migration-map

LOL. I did find it funny reading people asking how to recall her and brown after the blizzard debacle. She has proven to be nothing but a tool of special interest and her donors. she got that 51% and said eff the other 49%. while actually screwing much of her supporters with insane spending and incompetence.
-
The corporatist on both sides of the isle are outing themselves right now. Never want to hear another peep about recalling politicians, term limits or insane pork in omni bills killing the budget out of any of them. as right now they are choosing to support the status quo over progress on the very issues they claim to support

Some people get so upset about strong women. ugh. Its telling that these two are in that little group of people fighting to make the house work as it should and create the term limits so many want. So the face of the GDP is about separate spending bills and term limits in the house? And thats an insult?

Before the 116th Congress that began in 2019, any member could, in theory, bring forward the motion at any time and force a vote on it. This changed to requiring the approval of the majority of the party bringing forward the motion. Though the option was available, it was only used twice — once in 1910 against Speaker Joseph Cannon (R-IL) and in 2015 when then-Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) tried to use it against Speaker John Boehner (R-OH). Neither of the previous motions was successful in ousting the speaker but did weaken their political power. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/what-is-motion-to-vacate-kevin-mccarthy And if the parts about wanting term limits and 12 separate appropriation bills is factual, that has a lot of support outside DC.

Fox News becomes even less recognizable as "News"
Tommy Callahan replied to WideNine's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Meh. Fox is on par with MSNBC or CNN anymore. just playing the contrarian role to hold the two-party facade. -
OMG these rebels want extreme concessions. Per Politico: *A one-member “motion to vacate”: The GOP leader appears to have finally acquiesced to a demand to lower the threshold needed to force a vote ousting a speaker to just one member. While McCarthy originally indicated that restoring the one-member “motion to vacate” was a red line, his allies now argue that there’s not a huge practical difference between this and his previous offer of requiring five members to trigger the vote. Rules Committee seats for the Freedom Caucus: McCarthy is prepared to give the House Freedom Caucus two seats on the powerful House Rules Committee, which oversees the amendment process for the floor. (Some conservatives are still holding out for four seats on the panel.) There are also talks about giving a third seat to a conservative close to the Freedom Caucus but not in it — someone like Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky. Who would pick those members is still under discussion. Typically, it’s the speaker’s prerogative, but conservatives want to choose their own members for these jobs. *A vote on term limits: This is a key demand of Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), who has proposed a constitutional amendment limiting lawmakers to three terms in the House. *Major changes to the appropriations process: Fears of another trillion-plus-dollar omnibus spending bill have been a major driver of the conservative backlash to McCarthy. The brewing deal includes a promise for standalone votes on each of the 12 annual appropriations bills, which would be considered under what is known as an “open rule,” allowing floor amendments to be offered by any lawmaker. All three are things I hear both righties and lefties demanding. term limits, actual appropriation bills vs omnibus. that has a lot of support outside that building. seems like needed reform.
