Has there ever been a candidate for speaker defeated on floor? It sounds like it would be messy.

I dont think any succeeded, but the threat of it got John Boehner to resign. There was also a failed floor revolt against Joe Cannon in 1910. He survived it, but then the Democrats won the House later that year.

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

NJ is all blue except for the 7th district, which is a huge turnaround in about six years. Staten Island going blue is a huge surprise since it's basically Blue Lives Matters' national stronghold

quote:

The Family Research Council’s “Washington D.C. Christian Heritage Tour & Summit” in March is the latest conservative confab scheduled to take place at the Trump International Hotel. The three-night jaunt includes accommodations at the hotel and the possibility of a briefing at the White House, plus a day at the Museum of the Bible and a private tour of Capitol Hill. Tickets start at $2,498 for a double-occupancy room.

“It stinks,” said Norm Eisen, chairman of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and a frequent critic of the president’s. “It’s bad enough when there’s a tacit quid-pro-quo and people using the Trump hotel or other Trump properties to curry favor with the president,” Eisen continued. “Here you have something that breaks new ground because it at least raises the question of whether there’s a direct sale of access.”

Pretty sure the timeline required for a reconciliation bill has already passed, unless I misunderstand the process (this is very possible). Didn't they need to start six to eight weeks ago if they were planning one?

They had until October. We're in a new fiscal year and a reconciliation bill can't be put forward until the budget is drawn up.

The GOP has already blown their chance at reconciliation during the lame duck, assuming they were ever going to consider it. There's simply not enough time to complete the full 2-step process before January.

Scarry is famous for being a weirdo.

quote:

Most notably, at parties that took place on the weekend of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last year, Mr. Scarry surreptitiously snapped two shots of women’s posteriors and posted the photos on FishbowlDC.

“The pink one is particularly bulbous,” Mr. Scarry wrote of one woman whose behind he secretly captured on camera. “But the lumpy gray one takes the cake (and eats it, too).”
