And yeah, you basically have to bend the legislative agenda around the loving idiot from West Virginia. That's life in a 50-50 Senate. Otherwise, you're bending the legislative agenda around Republicans. You'll get Manchin before you get Collins/Murkowski and there is literally zero that anyone can do about Manchin. He's up in 2024 in a beat-red state and he's literally the only Democrat that could win that race (if he even runs). The solution to the Manchin problem was to not have poo poo candidates in Maine and North Carolina in 2020.

How many people voted for the 50 Republican senators?

For those keeping score at home, it was millions fewer than voted for the 50 Dem senators.

From Vox:

quote:

If the two Georgia seats go to the Democrats, the Senate will be split 50-50, but the Democratic half will represent 41,549,808 more people than the Republican half. [184 million to 143 million]

Read earlier today that as it sits right now, Republicans have an inherent electoral-system advantage of 2% in the House, 3% in the Electoral College, and 5% in the Senate. It's kinda bad!

Can't say for sure, but I do know a guy who left his job as a wheeled vehicle mechanic MOS to change to whatever MOS works on the big generators that bases use for backup power. Apparently you go straight to doing literally the exact same job on the civilian side but making a minimum of six figures doing that.

Dang that's a good gig. A friend retired from the Coast Guard after years as a chief engineer (I think with a focus on engines) and went into working for telecoms keeping a data center (or data hub? whatever the buildings that keep cell networks going) running. If the place went down it could wipe out local communications so it requires a security clearance he already had, and I think they always have to have an engineer on site just in case. It's good work and not much happens each shift.

I'm always late to the party and so post very infrequently. Regarding the recent discussion of Texas and Texans I have an anecdote that leaves me red-faced-embarrassed at 3 in the morning right when I think I'm falling asleep. I don't mean to reignite or stoke coals, but think it's a meaningful addition for people to think about.

Late 2006, too young to legally drink, I was just about to pin on Corporal and had just met my new teammates all of whom were Staff NCO's. I was sitting down with an African American CI-guy and he mentioned Katrina. Thinking I could ingratiate myself to him and display I wasn't a bigot (remember the time frame, in the USMC open casual racism ESPECIALLY against higher ranks was the norm unfortunately) I said something to the effect of "Whelp, I suppose all of those racist slack jawed yokels invited it upon themselves in more ways than one. Maybe they'll appreciate they take more than they give to this country."

He reached over and C-clamped my arm, like a loving hydraulic press, without a hint of aggression. He spoke very evenly, "My father died in Katrina." We became friends and ran some pretty hairy missions together. To this day I am so thankful he didn't beat the gently caress out of me, which in that unit was a very real possibility. I would have deserved that rear end beating. Hopefully I'm a better person today.

They just got done gargling Trump's balls for five years, someone who is very well known for not liking dogs at all. What the gently caress would they know about how "presidential" a dog should look? How does a dog look "presidential" in the first place? It doesn't, everything is identity politics with these projecting mother fuckers.

quote:

US President Joe Biden is set to declare a major disaster for Texas, clearing the way for more federal funds to be spent on relief efforts.

Power is returning in the state and temperatures are set to rise but some 13 million people are still facing difficulties accessing clean water.

Mr Biden has said he will visit Texas as long as his presence is not a burden on relief efforts.

Nearly 60 deaths have been attributed to cold weather across the US.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki confirmed Mr Biden has asked his team to expedite Texas' request for a disaster declaration.

He has also been in touch with the mayors of some of Texas' biggest cities, such as Houston, Austin and Dallas, to ensure they have access to government resources, an administration official said.
