No point in even trying since halfway through she would change her mind.
This made me chuckle.
I listened to some of Biden's speech on the radio on my drive home from work, and he didn't sound as old as he usually does. It wasn't a bad speech, really, though I doubt it has any actual effect.
At least from the bits I heard he did sound quite ancient. Was wondering if I continue listening, who will fall asleep faster - me or him.

The Democrats here all drink the same cool aid.
So what will the Trump party do for people when they control Congress this year?

I don't think we are going to get an answer as he has expired.
nice
She's better off as the creepy emissary of a cult leader who greets people as they land on a remote island.
Or a Ghislaine Maxwell type
She gives me priti Patel vibes. Nope.
Did he say "person, woman, man, camera and tv"?
Very good
It was a very good speech, it’s just a shame that the idiots that need to hear it are going to dismiss it by default.

More madness from Wisconsin. Looks the WI GOP is just going to hold off confirming until they regain power.

Welcome to Wisconsin. We are the GOP's lab for testing out fun and fascistic policies. It's the only way a state could have voted for Biden and have Dems in every statewide position but still have a 66% state GOP legislature. When it comes to our legislature the whole thing is a joke and people are just tired of worrying about it. They have gerrymandered the state so thoroughly that there is literally no chance of ever flipping it.
Is it that gerrymandered, no real hope of ever reversing it?
How can redistricting by elected officials ever be allowed I will never understand.
It's actually less about gerrymandering and more about population concentration. There are essentially 2.5 major urban centers (GB gets a half point) in WI that are overwhelmingly blue. All the GOP needs to do is shrug their shoulders and pack all those voters in as few districts as they can and job done.
Just to highlight how bad things are here
If you look at the Voting Age population breakdown by the number of districts (Senate and Assembly) represented by Dems/Reps you can see that Republicans "Represent" > 60% MORE people than Dems.
Now look at the results of the last election cycles (2018 and 2020) for the major State wide races:

Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson have to be the most mismatched pair of senators from a state
Speaking of, this may be the greatest headline ever.

Ron Johnson Announces He’s Officially Back on His Bullshit
The senator hailed himself as a “truth teller,” but his embrace of Covid misinformation indicates otherwise

Maddow ran a segment on five states submitting fraudulent state voting certifications, and how the documents are near replicas of one another; Arizona submitted two separate faked documents. It is amazing actual elected officials would sign/certify a document and submit to the Fed. Surely, every person that signed will be prosecuted and removed from office.

Doubt it, though that would be the smart thing to do.
"Controlled opposition". Considering the democrats are funded by big business, and many of the same people and pacs who contribute to the Republicans also contribute to the Democrats, it's not really much of a stretch.
The story of thing you'd expect from an Oligarchy. Of course not everyone is in on it, but you get high enough and you find out its follow orders or get out on things that matter, like with Tulsi Gabbard.
