Altherion Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer gave a rather passionate speech about antisemitism in the US. The whole speech can be found at the Senate site. It's rather long, but in my opinion worth reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what his actual height is, but he's usually taller than most people around him. Or is that what he wants you to think? Most of the time Tom Cruise looks like he's 6'3" in his movies.

Martell Spy Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The 543 word editorial that may have just upended the presidential campaign The post by Trump calling for Obamacare’s replacement has lit a fire under Biden’s slow burn campaign. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/30/trump-obamacare-repeal-00129223 Quote Republicans thought they were done with their Obamacare nightmare. Then Donald Trump read a Wall Street Journal op-ed. It was an item by the paper’s editorial board that piqued the former president’s frustration — one focused on health care industry consolidation but touching enough on the Affordable Care Act to reignite grievances about failing to repeal the law. And so, he fired off a post on Truth Social saying he was “seriously looking at alternatives” and that 2017’s failed repeal and replace effort was “a low point for the Republican Party.” In a click of a button, a long-dormant campaign fault line was reopened. The post lit a fire under President Joe Biden’s slow burn campaign. Significant campaign resources were quickly mobilized in response. Groups began preparing new ads calling for Obamacare’s protection. GOP lawmakers on the Hill had to take cover from inquisitive reporters asking if they backed Trump’s call. Advocacy organizations dusted off old playbooks. “It’s a story that tells itself,” said Leslie Dach, the chair of Democrat-aligned group Protect Our Care. “He’s opening up a Pandora’s box of hurt.” kissdbyfire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywin et al. Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Gaetz's speech is fucking hilarious. And also terrible. Plus this: Quote Asked about the fact there are no Florida representatives in positions of leadership, McCarthy explained there's a "cross-section" of members from the Sunshine State. "You have Gaetz," he said, "who belongs in jail, and you have serious members." https://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-mccarthy-says-matt-gaetz-should-be-in-jail-2023-11 Fragile Bird, kissdbyfire, JGP and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Is seems… ^shockingly^… that one of the founders of Mom’s for Liberty has a girlfriend she shares with her husband… a Florida State Legislator. The Girlfriend is now accusing the husband of abuse and coercion (we’re all shocked I know). For the record: if people want to do this consentually it is none of my business and I say… go with God. However, when these same people want to use the power of the State to censor and shame LGBTQ people those seeking to censor and shame are fucking awful and should be publicly shamed for their unmitigated and incredible hypocrisy. https://flcga.org/florida-gop-chair-christian-ziegler-husband-of-a-moms-for-liberty-cofounder-accused-of-battery-by-alleged-menage-a-trois-lover/ Edited November 30, 2023 by Ser Scot A Ellison Prince of the North 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkerX Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Not going to bother with a link, but it seems a prominent republican gave an impassioned speech about 'lazy workers demanding undeserved overtime.' Had to do with Biden's efforts to extend overtime protections to salaried employees. Interestingly, even many of the conservative commenters on the article disagreed with the guy.
