Failed nominations of House speakers, Benghazi panels run amok, just ticking down the days until the US economy implodes from partisan gridlock!

After all, it’s only the USPOL thread! 114th Congress Bingo Card House Speaker John Boehner is out, which means that House Speaker
Other News, featuring the Clinton Corner So Hillary may have been on a bender, fending off Benghazi, a Biden campaign, and other Democratic candidates, but did you know she could get 10 years in jail for not telling Obama? Obviously, you should definitely not vote for Hillary! In other news…

Related threads "US Politics" is an incredibly broad topic, as A) the country is freaking huge and B) given our role in international events pretty much everything impacts us. So there are other subthreads 2016 Presidential Primary 2016 US Senate Elections SCOTUS thread Right Wing Media There are also regional subthreads that are usually pretty slow, but sometimes cross-pollinate with this thread when something important is happening.

How to make a good sour mix for whiskey. For the times you remember the GOP will put up Ben loving Carson but know Hillary will mop his face from here to bumfuck Florida: Mix cup of sugar with cup of water and bring to boil so shits all mixed. Add it to one cup lime juice. Do shots of fireball while that bitch cools. Throw a splash in some bourbon, say gently caress YOU RAND, and drink.

And the EPA is still getting a black eye for that wastewater disaster in Colorado over the summer. Elsewhere, NOAA and Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology are gearing up for a fight over Smith’s planned fishing expedition to gin up another Climate-gate.

Klaus88 posted:After reading her wikipedia page, I retract my comment, as frankly it was extremely sexist of me. I don't believe it's sexist to state that women are attracted to money. Money is sexy to anyone, and it's our sexist culture that dictates men should be the ones earning and flaunting the money. Suggesting a young woman might be attracted to and get involved with an older man because he is a rich and famous TV star is neither a disparaging comment about her morals nor about the nature of "women, amirite." At the very least it couldn't have been his personality so this is really the only explanation that checks out for why anyone would hang out with Bill Maher short of blackmail or bribery.

I have to say, it's getting harder and harder to keep up with this thread. The Republican primary thread is one thing, but I had something like 2500 unread posts in the October thread after a few days.
