Always wondered what all those people were. Never heard of this position.

Also learned that the VP can override them?
Yeah, I know people are irritated at Nothing Matters type posts but this is absolutely not something the Republicans will hesitate to steamroll on. The Parliamentarian having authority over this stuff is a norm, not a law, and norm is a fat guy who drinks at a bar.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

Also, The Guardian has a good, informative video on the Montana election. At first, I thought it might be by the same guy that just got assaulted, but it's worth a watch anyway:

some small portion of die hards will be all macho about kicking the reporters rear end but generally people who aren't crazy favor civil discourse and assaulting a journalist for asking an innocent question is an extremely bad look

Montana isn't a total GOP lockdown like in states like Alabama or Arkansas though. They've had a Democrat as Governor since 2005 and Jon Tester has been serving as a Democrat in the Senate since 2007. Sure, it's easy to be cynical but the GOP is scrambling right now and had to send Pence and a whole slew of big name GOPers to Montana to get people to like that asshat Gianforte.

We put a harness on them and let them wander around wherever they wanna go. It's loving impossible to direct the little fuckers, 60% of the time they just lay down on a random patch of dirt and roll around or look up at me questioningly. But they go absolutely bat poo poo insane anytime we so much as look at the leashes, and they meow at the door like we're torturing them when it's 3-4 PM.

A fair amount of the people I interact with on a daily basis would say that liberal reporter deserved it, and the rest don't give a poo poo one way or the other. There is nothing nihilistic about confronting the truth. Most Americans either don't care or approve of the creeping fascism.
