No, I mean there will definitely be GOP Senators who vote against Trump’s picks, if for no other reason that they have 3 votes to spare, and some will get Hall Passes. Thats how the Senate works. Their careers will not be ruined, by Tuberville or anyone else.
He might not be able to deliver on that threat. And once it fails once, it loses it’s power and it will never work again.
No need to misgender him, though, we should just start calling him Trump’s sugar daddy
He can date whichever man he wants, whether it’s Elon or Vladimir, and no one should judge him for it.
It’s from Dr. horrible. Did the link work for you? It didn’t for me, so I edited it out
Anyone have a “The hammer is my penis” meme handy from Dr. Horrible?
Foreign countries realize that the easiest way to get inside info on the inner workings of the Trump Whitehouse is to stage a spy at Mar-a-Lago. It looks like the media has caught on.
I wonder if Trump will now get super paranoid about his one safe space…
It has never happened before, so we don’t really know. What I think would happen is that Vance would just get immediately sworn in as the President on Jan 20 if God exercises His Ultimate Veto on Trump’s second term.
But the Presidential Succession Act only covers vacancies for the Presidency. Once the office of the President is filled again, nothing else happens. It’s not like everyone else “moves up” a slot. Mike Johnson would probably see the VP position as a demotion honestly.
The Office of the VP would remain vacant until President Vance nominates a candidate, and then it must be approved by both houses of Congress in order for the position to be filled.
I’m kind of hopeful, actually, that the fact that they are publically whining so much about escalating to a world war is an indication that they don’t have the means to do so, short of going Nuclear, and I think even Putin realizes how that will end up.
I mean, he is already bringing in foreign fighters. isn’t that a concession that Russian fighters can’t do the job in Ukraine themselves? If they had the means to escalate while still fighting in Ukraine, they wouldn’t whine about it, they would just do it.
You are making the mistaken assumption that the brute squad will bother to differentiate between them. How many second+ generation immigrants carry around proof of citizenship, anyway? They can be detained just like anyone else who doesn’t look right.
(And it’s super easy to carry that now, the passport card is cheap, fits in your wallet, and is a good first line of defense against being disappeared.)
Hegseth also has deep connections with the so-called TheoBros, a collection of ultra-conservative and extremely online millennial Christian men who follow an Idaho pastor named Douglas Wilson. Some of Wilson’s followers believe that the United States should, as Mother Jones’ Kiera Butler has written, “be subject to Biblical law.”
Interesting. The only difference between these guys and Islamic Fundamentalists who are in charge in places like Afghanistan are which book they want to use as the basis of their laws, and the color of their hats.
No, Newsom has a chance to win, because he doesn’t have a vagina. Apparently having one is a disqualifying factor for many voters.
All my shit is in the Google ecosystem. I am fairly confident that Gmail is not going away anytime soon. However, I am more afraid that some obscure ToS violation will forcibly disconnect me from their ecosystem, and I will have to scramble to make sure all my contacts have my alternate info. I am doubly screwed, as a Google Fi customer. If we all get suddenly degoogled, I lose a phone number that I have had for over 20 years.
As good a deal that Fi is for me (I normally don’t use bandwidth unless I travel internationally), I may switch soon just to reduce my exposure to Google.
The Democratic Party resembles the horse, or at least part of it.
For those not paying attention, this race has already been settled and is still part of the 47 Senate seats that most major media report Democrats hold. The only seat that is technically not settled yet is in PA, where the Republican is ahead, but couldn’t clear the .5% margin needed to avoid a mandatory recount.
But it is extremely unlikely that a recount would find enough votes that weren’t counted in the first place to matter, and most media counts that seat as Republican now, leading to the final 53-47 count. Chuck has even invited the Republican to things for new Senators, even though his victory is still not technically final.
Right, I think without the Open Internet, we would still be getting fast broadband, but likely tied to your Cable or Telco provider’s network, and things that are currently websites would have to arrange for a presence on each network they want to do business on. And they would probably meter access, just like they do with your electric bill, or your cable company does with a basic tier but then paid access to anything important.
Hey it’s not just a meme, it’s DeCeNtRaliZeD fInAnCe. I bought some DOGE as a joke several years ago, now it is worth real money. I sold some the last time it was at $0.69, because of course I did.
I have some left, the price is currently $0.36 but maybe Elon can meme it up to $4.20 and I can retire early.
The other races are close, also. There are two others where the Republican is ahead by less than .2% , and they are still counting. And the last race is in Alaska, the Republican is currently up by 2% but they haven’t done the Ranked Choice voting calculations and there may be enough people who picked the Democrat 2nd to put her over the top.
While it’s unlikely that Democrats could manage to win all 4 of the remaining seats, if they do then Republicans would hold a slim 1-seat majority, which Beavis already resigned away. So unless Florida could schedule the special election quickly, the House could be evenly divided, even before a few GOP’ers leave for Trump’s cabinet
