Joe Biden is President. Dianne Feinstein is dominating the news cycle. Police just arrested a guy for Tupac's murder. It's like a rift in the space-time continuum opened up and we've been exposed to an alternate version of the late 1990s.

gently caress me running, they're so bad at this. The playbook is written for you assholes, it has been for decades at this point, just follow it. Release some poo poo-smeared laughable "mulch all the poors to pave the mansion of a rich person" bill that nobody anywhere takes seriously so you can pass it off to the senate then throw up your hands and say "Well golly gee the perfidious Democrats shut down the government why won't they just negotiate to give me everything I want?"

Instead we get.....this.

If I recall correctly, this House CR would've came with instructions that the House Clerk was to *not* send it to the Senate until all the appropriations bills were done. Schumer is getting around that by taking the pending Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act bill he got from the House and modifying it into a CR bill. Congress!

This general thing is why Pelosi was so underrated as a House Speaker. There's all the usual and valid complaints about her and her politics in general, but she always delivered votes. She'd make 4-vote majorities functional and McCarthy just can't :v:

For real. I couldn't care less how butt hurt some mouth breathing yokel is about their fascist party no longer existing. Actively making the country worse for everyone because they're furious that people that aren't white, straight, and christian want to be treated like human beings.

Dissolve Fox News and conservative talk radio while we're at it. Just a toxic cesspool that these people are marinating in.

There is no such thing as a "moderate GOP congressman" but there are quite a few in Biden-voting districts that are sick of the Biggs/Gaetz faction currently running things. And so, there are lots of trial balloons about democrats keeping McCarthy as speaker in exchange for some kind of power-sharing deal. The way things are trending, either McCarthy stays as speaker unchallenged or the government stays open, but not both.

Note that this is still theorycraft wishmaking at this point, but everyone involved knows this poo poo isn't sustainable.

One of the co-conspirators in GA pleaded guilty today and is certainly going to be a state's witness. Scott Hall pleaded guilty to five counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference in the election. He did not plead to the RICO charge and one other. He was sentenced to 12 months probation for each count set to run concurrently.

There are a several Southern state flags that are a variation of that. Also, a lot of other organizations that use that flag.

Stars and Stripes is the US flag. Stars and bars is the traitor's rag.

Yeah, that was by design.

Regular JRE consumers will tune in regardless of topic and 'expert'. It's then cut into bite size bits and spread through YT shorts and TikTok, where the algorithm will start with something like "Here's what my Uncle really planned" and a few minutes later, you are past "WiFi breaks the Blood Brain Barrier" and leaning into Protocols of Zion type poo poo.

It's a media scrum version of boiling a Frog.

I can't believe anyway is taking the guy serious based off of JRE alone, but the timeline is whack.
