House quashes Marjorie Taylor Greene motion to oust speaker Mike Johnson Far-right congresswoman booed on House floor before chamber votes 359-43 to kill proposal to remove fellow Republicand. They said “The Soup Nazi” is my first episode.” “Yeah, go start outlining!” It was really confusing. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/08/marjorie-taylor-greene-speaker-mike-johnson-motion-to-vacate

Might not be a UK thing, I'm an American and this was in the 1980's. I recall them coming in very large bricks, Don't think the program ended though, this article mentions it still going on in 2022. The flavor of government cheese has been compared as ranging from mild cheddar to Velveeta cheese due to variations in ingredients. Some people reminisce both good or bad opinions concerning the flavor of government cheese. Affinity for government cheese is correlated with low socioeconomic status; however, this correlation also overlaps with who was most likely to receive and consume it.

Government cheese. It wasn't that bad, not very good either, but it brings up all sorts of bad associations.

Yeah, I think that is indeed the overall goal of the anti-abortion movement. It's pretty rich given if you listen to any Republican moderate on abortion rights (Yes, they exist) is they point to abortion rights being protected in blue states as the reason no needs to worry too much about the issue and indeed it's completely safe to keep voting GOP. I'm not surprised by this, but I am shocked that this is moving so quickly as for as moving towards the slave catchers regime. As for this individual creep, I think the goal is to eventually sue the woman, doctors, or anyone that helped her. Bunch of harassments suits. I would not be surprised to see the Texas courts give full approval. These are the same courts that keep ruling to abolish the ACA immediately and other garbage. And of course he's already harassed the woman by taking these actions and causing news stories.

Why are billionaires scared of Brazil’s plan to hit them with a global tax? Because it makes perfect sense As the fortunes of the super-rich soar, a proposed annual levy of 2% could offer a corrective – and they will fight it tooth and nail https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/02/brazil-global-tax-billionaires-perfect-sense

Trump threatens to prosecute Bidens if he’s re-elected unless he gets immunity Time magazine called the ex-president’s plans ‘an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world’ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/30/trump-second-term-abortion-immigration

And she defends it with saying it's a very common practice on farms which I think some would disagree with. Don't worry, we're all a bunch of puppy killers out here! Can't have those lazy dogs not pulling their weight and trying to create a welfare state.

Or the immunity only lasts while in office. Which creates a real incentive to both commit crimes, but also to remain in office the rest of your life, by any means possible. Sounds like playing Grand Theft Auto, but the police don't come after you. If you knew you could steal anything in the country, but had a time limit of 4 to 8 years, you'd want to steal as much as possible to pass on to your heirs. Much better though to just become a Putin and ride your tiger.

Just catching up on X-Men '97. Pretty interesting MCU cross-overs going on. Also, apparently voice actors for MCU characters from "What If...?" are being used. I haven't watched that yet, but I might now.

Yeah, it was about a week ago, there was news stories. It happened before though, he's been having at least some amount of medical problems.

Clarence Thomas? He did miss arguments again the other day.

Yeah, I did berry picking at 8 years old. You have to be a tough kid to pull that off though for any length of time. I quit after day 1 and getting very sunburned. Also, they didn't pay an hourly wage, they paid based on amount picked.

Yeah, that damn game, Master of Orion, I couldn't stop playing it long after it was horribly outdated. It was my secondary game for decades. It took Stellaris to finally break the habit and that's replaced it. Sorely tempted to fire it up though and take over the galaxy with mass-producing eco-terrorist frog people.
