US Politics

[The United]

A two-thirds majority vote in the House is required to expel one of its members, according to Article 1, Section 5 of the Constitution.

But who would initiate the process, and will there be enough Rs to vote Santos out? Lot of questions. It wouldn't surprise me if he stayed till 2024 since Rs simply don't care, especially since a D might fill up that space.

Do some people have a fetish for calling Jews Jew-haters?

My understanding is that he legislated to give pharmaceuticals more freedom against medical autoritarism aka laws that regulates medical/medicine/ethical research/regulations etc?

I might be wrong

It sounds completely whacko and is but basically it is resorting anti-vaxxers to normal society by ensuring they can't be discriminated against for their lack of vaccine status, vaccine passport etc.

Also doctors with nutjob churchy views can't be discriminated against for those nutjob views.

Sounds about right for my home state. Thanks.

Refuge of sanity with 7.5M cases of covid and 86k dead. #12 out of 50 states for highest death rate during the pandemic. Serenity now.

She's a real mess. There is no way she should be a sitting US Senator.

Looking at the picture above that appears to be what she's doing - sitting!

The crypt keeper returns to sustain herself on the power fountain. Genuinely disgusting that she's allowed to hold a senate seat.

I immediately thought back to HBO's 'Tales from the Crypt' when I saw that tweet.

It's absolutely gobsmacking unbelievable to me that an entire state, with millions of people in it, has literally banned high schools from discussing even the concept of social justice.

Federalism was a mistake.

What a complete wet fart that turned out to be. Hilariously bad.

Who could possibly have seen this coming. Was CNN expecting the right to suddenly start watching? Obviously they were, since that's their CEOs new plan, but this was never going to do anything but push other people away.

 

[Morty_]

Was such a moronic decision, a one-time high viewership with Trump just to tank your own brand in the long term, well, we will see about that, but its quite possible.
Many people won't forget they hosted what was essentially a Trump-rally, and the right-wingers? They hate CNN anyway so they won't gain anything there, besides, CNN will never be right-wing enough for that group of people.

Well done, CNN.

It startled me, but listening to Pod Save America podcast, the hosts pointed out like twice as many people will have listened to their episode covering the townhall as actually tuned into watch on CNN. The network only averages 350k viewers in prime time. Crazy small.

A state can pass laws on how federal funding is used? I can see a batshit state like FL creating laws to reject federal money based on how it would be used. But they can accept the money and then stop how it's used? Surely that is an instant lawsuit?

Fantastic podcast. Strict scrutiny on their channel is great too.

Agreed. And Hacks On Tap is even better, I think.

It's like they just don't retain the fact Trump was helping his daughter do deals in China and his son-in-law doing stuff with Saudi think it was.

That would surely be an ADA violation to use federally appropriated funds sanctioned for X program and then used to Y program, assuming the ADA extends to states using federal funds.

Correct be if I'm wrong but wasn't it the FBI's Republican boss that told them to investigate?

Think it was Barr.

I thought it was Rod Rosenstein after Jeff Sessions recused himself

Barr appointed him as SC in 2020 (thought it was earlier than that)…

But he was says the FBI had no evidence to investigate, I was pointing out that the FBI were told to investigate by Rosenstein, the FBI didn't instigate it, a Republican Deputy AG did

I’m thoroughly confused now.
