I’m not certain the US can survive another Republican government shutdown in the face of a writers strike, no CBS on Xfinity and no ESPN on Spectrum. The only hope we have is that the UPS guys settled their potential strike.
Patd the good news on Lee is that the models all have it tracking due north and missing the East coast, but Nova Scotia better get ready if it survives the colder water up that way.
pogo, yeah about projection that we’ll be on Lee’s lee-ward side but the bad news is there most likely will be some mighty waves and unusually high surges hitting populous shores.
FloriDuh can’t afford another hurricane. DuhSantis has made the state even more hostile to those who do a lot of the really hard clean up and rebuilding work. DuhSantis was too fragile to show up when President Biden went to the state to see the damage and commit support.
Inflated ego. Lack of humility. Lack of humanity. Racist. Misogynistic. Christo-fascist. Anti-education. Anti-science. Anti-public health. DuhSantis. Also, every other Republican. The ex-half-Governor of Alaska walked so that tRUMPsky could run, and every other awful person could follow.
Is there any chance that Republicans who are tired of the free-dumb caucus MAGAts would vote with Dems and make Jamie Harrison the SOTH? Obviously, that would be a stretch, but is that even possible? Who would replace McCarthy? Every Republican seems to either be backing the orange, fascist fatass, or, they are out only for themselves.
BiD, i think you mean hakeem jeffries, the current dem leader in house who would certainly get all the D votes and it’s feasible but not likely to get R votes from Rs in purple-blue (heliotrope? violet?) districts.
Persuadable voters who might lean toward Trump really need to be told what they would be voting for. They don’t have to guess, he has put it in writing:
Salon: Written by right wing think tanks, Trump’s Agenda ’47 “would consist of an end to birthright citizenship, further criminalizing transgender people and the LGBTQI community more broadly, expanding the thought crime and other censorship laws to end the teaching of “critical race theory” and to defeat “Woke” and “Black Lives Matter”, attacking academic freedom and replacing it with “patriot education”, implementing a national stop and frisk law, pardoning the Jan. 6 terrorists, putting homeless people in camps or some other designated area under threat of arrest, building high tech “freedom cities”, ending the professional civil service and replacing it with right-wing political appointees and other such partisan agents, gutting the Department of Justice and other parts of the government that opposed Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law, executing drug dealers, starting a trade war with China, and making “peace” with Vladimir Putin by withdrawing support for the Ukrainian people and their freedom struggle.”
“Nearly a dozen stocks appeared on Sen. Tim Scott’s 2022 financial disclosure that weren’t there in 2021. But the South Carolina Republican, the only member of Congress running for president, never reported buying the shares, raising questions about whether he followed a mandate Congress imposed on itself more than a decade ago.”
“Scott’s Senate office referred questions to his campaign, which did not provide details about the transactions but denied any violation of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, which was enacted in 2012. The law prohibits insider trading and requires added financial disclosures, including timely reports on the sale or acquisition of stocks worth more than $1,000.”
“Everyone has a gun?” asked Cuomo, once a prominent figure in Democratic Party politics. “Everyone has an assault weapon? A former felon? No background check? Concealed carry?”
“Has the right to,” Ramaswamy responded. “And I do think concealed carry is important, constitutional carry is important.”
“In March, the Team Vivek War Room account tweeted that the candidate “personally cannot travel in China because of the tough positions he publicly adopted.”
“But when asked about the suggestion Ramaswamy was formally barred, Tricia McLaughlin, Ramaswamy’s communications director, dialed back what the candidate has said. She said he “has received counsel that he should not travel to China based on his public criticism of the regime.”
“There may be a lot of our MAGA friends that do not WANT to go to China by choice, but he literally can’t travel to China,” the tweet read.
Vivek: tech bro, fascist, attention whore, liar.
“Yet Ramaswamy’s views on China mark a shift from his earlier business career. The former biotech executive’s company, Roivant Sciences, expanded into the Chinese market in 2018. That same year, Ramaswamy appeared in Shanghai for a pharmaceutical conference.”
Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery. Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote. -Nancy
The White House Situation Room, the 5,500-square-foot high-security complex of conference rooms and office on the ground floor of the West Wing, has undergone a makeover for the first time in 15 years.
Hi Y’all, back from an extended sea voyage in the North Atlantic and week-long sojourn with family in the wine country of Long Island’s North Fork. It was surprising and wonderful. I don’t think I missed anything important, did I? Just maybe news of the closure of the bar in Margaritaville. Totally sad about that, connections and memories because you know, people, places, and things.
The Columbus post Dispatch is a crappy no news newspaper. There has been NO coverage on of
Gym Jordan’s letter from Fani Willis. They probably didn’t cover his cowardly work during the sexual abuse scandal of the players he coached. I always wondered how he could stay in office –it’s because his voters have no idea of what a creep he is. People all over the country wonder why people in Columbus are so stupid
I quit reading the local newspaper (one of the oldest in the country) a couple of decades ago because of their slobbering right wing editorial page, and I sincerely hope that contributes to their demise.
I don’Tt mind the editorials – it’s the lack of news. Jim Jordan is a moron and yet stays in office.
The local media does not cover him especially nothing critical. I haven’t looked but I doubt the abuse scandle at Ohio State never mentioned Gym Jordon
Thank you, Miss Cracker, it’s nice to be missed and nicer to be welcomed home. Will be picking up the dog from his staycation, that will be a joyful reunion.
On second thought, in defense of the air traffic controllers at LaGuardia, there was a massive line of storms yesterday, north to south. Keeping us on the tarmac for the better part of 8 hours may have saved our lives.
