ThinkerX Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Be interesting to see how many House congress critters the GOP loses in 2023 through death, resignation, and criminal convictions. Think I'll go with five. Anybody else care to pick a number? And how many deaths/resignations/convictions before the GOP House leadership start to panic?

I always pretend I'm proficient in "r" as a statistical software. Which I'm not -- at least not proficient. Then again, I'm not sure anyone really is.

It would be an interesting test of subpoena powers. Trying to think of a precedent and the only possible one I can think of is (Joe) McCarthy, but I don't think he targeted any House members. Such a dispute would almost certainly end up with SCOTUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on My advice to D would be to chill baby. Just unplug it! Head to a Skii Lodge... and... and maybe a friend from college? Just... just books and vodka? Or- or was it Blu Rays and Two Betrayals?? Wait! Wait! I've been here before. D! (onald) Needs E! (lon) And they both just need to fucking go away and chill. What if they did it together? Is The Eagles Nest still a thing? They'd both jizz at the thought. Can B(ezos) get going with a midlife crisis so I can Cleopatra the fuck outta this triumverate already or are all our masters just gonna stand around like assholes growing their hordes forever? Eta: I really should have gone with Doritos and Delta Halos, there on the bolded. Not only is the alliteration stronger, but you can eat doritos and play Halo2 at the same time. BluRays and Halo playing at the time would be counter-productive. Waddaya gonna do? Live and learn. Eta2: Eagles Nest, not Wolf's Head. Oops.

Martell Spy Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The best, worst, and just plain dumb of American politics in 2022 From dinner with Kanye West to orating about werewolves, 2022 was strange. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23520592/politics-year-rewind-review-2022-worst-moments Quote In comparison to these, his oratory wasn’t his biggest issue. But Walker encapsulated all his political challenges in a speech he gave in November during the Senate runoff, where he discussed the various merits of vampires versus those of werewolves in combat. The Republican Senate hopeful and former college football star proclaimed to a crowd, “I don’t know if you know, but vampires are some cool people, are they not? But let me tell you something that I found out: A werewolf can kill a vampire. Did you know that? I never knew that.” Walker continued, “So I don’t want to be a vampire anymore. I want to be a werewolf.” The clip was used in a closing ad by Warnock, mocked by Barack Obama when he stumped in the Peach State, and became a lasting part of Walker’s political legacy.

Martell Spy Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Trump’s tax returns released, launching fresh scrutiny of his finances The documents, covering 2015 to 2020, could provide new insight into Trump’s wealth, the performance of his business empire and how he was able to reduce his tax liability. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/30/trumps-tax-returns-released-launching-fresh-scrutiny-of-his-finances-00075851 Quote House Democrats released several years’ worth of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns on Friday, launching what is sure to be another round of intense scrutiny of his finances. The drop marks an extraordinary step by the House’s top tax writer, Ways and Means Chair Richard Neal (D-Mass.), who had been engaged in a three-and-a-half-year legal battle over the release of Trump’s taxes until the Supreme Court ruled in his favor in November. It also adds to a growing list of political and legal challenges for Trump as he mounts his 2024 campaign for president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
