thread favorite - whats the over/under on MTG showing Hunter's Hog during the impeachment trial?

Common misconception. "hunter's hog" is a kenning, a poetic metaphor or turn of phrase. MTG is "Hunter's Hog" in the same way that Sétanta is Cu Chulainn (Culain's hound).

Where Marj goes, so goes Hunter's Hog

So the Dems will just openly mock her again today.

Also lmao at the people running that impeachment "trial"

So does that mean the Senate have to take it up now, and just say "this is stupid"

Or does the House have to present evidence now, and the Senate can just not even bother to hear it?

Pretty high. It's what the American people demand and she'd be a hero to many more people, maybe some even in this very thread I'd wager, if she did this. Pretty good chance it either goes through or it exposes the Great Fraud being perpetuated by the current American President of the United States of America. Win/win for the Red Wave.

Yeah MTG being speaker's pet is both not new (she did it under McCarthy at least once) and the practice is not noteworthy on its face. I'm not sure why this time it managed to make it into the conversation, I guess it's because it's also Valentine's Day? idk

The Speaker pro tempore has no power - it's just a formality if the speaker can't preside over the chamber. They just do what the parliamentarian tells them to

When it'd get real fun is if she ignores the parliamentarian

I dunno if I'd analogize the current (temporary) sitting President of the United States (Joe Biden) and his administration as a Tiger Pit. But I understand what you mean. There're a lot of subtle threats and intimidation tactics that the Democrats are known for (see Epstein, McAfee, etc) that could be used to silence MTG. I think she'll be fine though; she's smart and works out a lot.

The senate is required to hold "a trial", but there's no guideline in the Constitution for what that means. A smart move would be to ask for charges, go "There's no high crime or misdemeanor there," and then immediately go to a vote. It'll take an hour for the senate and Chief Justice Roberts to do this, and then give a rebuke to the idiots in the house.

We'll see what actually happens, but denying them the opportunity to grandstand and tell them they didn't meet the constitutional requirements is a way to shut this down fast. They want to spend a week spouting their nonsense with national media coverage, and you might as well deny them that.

I think it's mostly people who understand that they should vote, but need someone to tell them who to vote for. I recall a chef once tweeting that his restaurant has chicken tenders on the menu because "some people are hungry but they don't like the taste of food", and I think independent voters are the political equivalent.
