We were supposed to go see a live rendition of The Music Man for Mrs. Fish’s birthday last year. That went out the window very quickly when the pandemic set in. It’s supposed to come back to that place this summer, and we have a voucher to exchange for fresh tickets.
Reps @AOC & @RepMaxineWaters asked if a person who has called for the deaths of their colleagues should be a member of congress.
In response, @newtgingrich compared those actions to that of a lynch mob.

Top Trump officials actively lobbied Congress to deny state governments any extra funding for the Covid-19 vaccine rollout last fall — despite frantic warnings from state officials that they didn’t have the money they needed to ramp up a massive vaccination operation,” Stat News reports.
Wanna bet they took a couple of months to evaluate who the virus was killing, and they concluded it was mostly the takers, and that the makers were pretty safe.
Then, they decided on a herd immunity strategy without telling the rest of us. cause it was easiest and cheapest to implement. No real “work”
Not incompetent, but simply unmoored from any sense of what most would call “responsibility.”
Trump wants to use his impeachment defense to keep spreading the big lie because it helps him raise money, rile supporters & cause division. He’s not actually interested in truth, facts or real legal defenses. That’s why even his lawyers had to quit.

Yeah, we’ve been here before. Remember when the Obama admin and Congressional Dems spent weeks jamming tax cuts into the Recovery Act, only to get tepid Repub support and a whole lot of screeching about how it wasn’t “bipartisan”?
Or the months spent trying to appease Repubs in order to get their votes for the ACA, only to pass it on a party-line vote when every single one refused to support it after Scott Brown won?
This isn’t a serious proposal, it’s getting something on the table so they can whine later that they were ready to “compromise” but Dems rejected their “offer” and thus spoiled the “unity.”

Abolishing the “Byrd Rule” would be easier to push than going nuclear on the filibuster. It’s an obscure rule that can only be applied to a single bill in a calendar year. Yet it’s also a rule that the Repubs will abuse to its fullest in the hopes of gutting the CV Relief bill.

If he’s not talking out his ass, thank fucking God. My take is that the filibuster is and has always been the tool of the Confederate Party, which used to be bipartisan but is now exclusively GOP. And hopefully this is a stepping stone to outright killing it.
If anybody’s worried about what the GOP would do without the filibuster, we’ve already seen it. The filibuster doesn’t exist for judicial appointments and reconciliation (for them, tax cuts). Beyond that, they don’t care about governing. If it had ever benefitted them to get rid of the filibuster entirely, McConnell would have done it without a second thought.

re: #86 No Malarkey!
Exactly. The only legislation that McConnell wants to pass is tax cuts, and he can do that through reconciliation.
Maybe the rest of the Dem Senate got through to Sinema and Manchin: if you want anything at all done, besides cut taxes, the filibuster has to be killed or neutralized. If you kill the Byrd rule, the Senate (or more correctly, the House) can call basically anything a reconciliation bill.
re: #69 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
It is a good sign, but don’t forget: DT got more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.
And the only reason he did not win was because of record Democratic turnout and the fact that GOP officials in several contested states had some shreds of decency and fairness remaining.
He got more votes in 2020 because turnout was much higher. So did Biden (than Hillary) — and the increase was greater than DT’s. IMHO, all those democrats would have turned out anyway.
And the GOP officials were honest because they knew they were being watched.

I don’t think these losses will happen: the criminal processes for the Trump administration and the Congressional traitors have barely started, the economy is going to surge, and most importantly the fascism voters won’t have a fascist to vote for for President. The data will take time to come out, but I’m pretty convinced that’s why the polls were off in 2016 and 2020 but not in 2018. There is a good 5-8% of the electorate that has no interest in small-d democratic politics, never voted before 2016, but want to vote for a dictator to preserve the white supremacist hierarchy.
But the big bills need to be passed now. The country needs them, and the voters have spoken. Anything the GOP says is in bad faith and should be ignored, then used as ammunition to hurt them in the elections. We won, they lost.

My belief remains that the red “swing state” governments stuck to the vote results rather than cooking the books because there as no conceivable way for Trump to win on their votes alone. Raffensperger was going to make himself no friends by bending the rules to give the win to Trump when GA’s EC votes alone would not have been enough to swing the election.

re: #184 lawhawk
Cuomo is a puzzlement sometimes. He talks a really good, persuasive game about letting science and the numbers guide his decisions, and when he sticks to that goal, he does OK. But then he goes off the rails without ever being willing to explain why (or worse, gets hyper-defensive about his bad decisions.)
It’s not just the wedding venue announcement - it’s not like the virus knows whether the gathering it’s at is a wedding, a bar mitzvah, a convention or a basketball game, after all, so why change the rules just for weddings?
He and his people made a huge deal out of the “zone system” that was going to do targeted shutdowns in specific areas where rates were spiking. OK, good - there were yellow zones and red zones tied to definite case positivity #s and hospital capacity. They threw most (but not all) of my county into an orange zone in November, which shut down indoor dining just in time to prevent an even worse spike.
And then… crickets. The zones were supposed to get updated every week. Instead, the boundaries that were put into effect in November just stayed there. Any time the question came up at one of his news conferences, it was always “we’ll get back to you.”
Then the orange zones were just eliminated last week. Everywhere. Why? They never really said.
It makes it very, very hard to defend the guy, even though I think he’s done more things right than wrong and I’d much prefer him to most other governors out there. And there I days I wonder if I’m being a fool to go along with every single change in the rules when I can’t even defend all of them. It’s frustrating as hell.

This evening is pissing me off.
I went to my local grocery store to buy a few things and there was a 20-something couple shopping and gabbing with no masks. I got my eggs and made a bee line to checkout where I told the clerk about the couple. When I got outside I realized that the guy in the couple parks his van on my street. I’m fighting the urge to put a fuck-you note on his windshield but too many people have cams. I don’t want to start anything with people who don’t wear masks so all I can do is call the store to tell them I won’t be coming in if they don’t enforce their masking rules.
I went from the grocery store to go curb-side-pickup a pizza. As I left with my pizza, I realized I’d forgotten to put MY mask on so I felt like an asshole to the girl who brought the pizza out. When I got home, I found out that my pepperoni/mushroom/black olive pizza didn’t have any pepperoni on it. I called the restaurant and they took $15 off the cost of a $22 pizza. That was more than generous of them, but mushroom/olive pizza is pretty boring.

I do not like to shovel more than once. And if we are to get the rain and snow mixture that will glaze over on the pavements. That will be a b* to get rid of.

I happen to agree with you on that. Just saying, I have seen some people do it that way and it works for them. Me, I shovel once, and if it’s too thick for me to bother shoveling (usually around 3-4”), or it’s the heavy wet snow we get mostly on the leading and trailing edges of the winter season, out comes the snowblower.

Yep. I’ve shoveled mid-storm before, but not since I got my snowblower.

If it’s fluffy you can shovel 12” easily, heck you can sweep it. If it’s wet and heavy if you don’t shovel every hour or so you’ll never get rid of it until spring. It becomes what we lovingly (or not so) plowcrete (what the city does to the end of our driveway every time they plow the streets). 😬😁

And then in my neck of the woods, what happens to that plowcrete - if left untouched - is that it gets compressed down into solid ice by the passage of vehicles, which makes it highly entertaining to get the mail and can’t be removed by any force known to man or God.
One time when I lived in the Chicago burbs, it wasn’t just snowing, it was blowing like mad and it was blowing directionally right into my front door. When I opened the door it was buried a good 5’ high and about 15” deep. Had I waited, I wouldn’t have gotten our the front door to do anything.

Yes. There was a snowstorm when I was a teenager that dumped over a foot of lake effect snow, with drifts that were 3-4’ high. I woke up that morning and couldn’t see out my second-story window. The snow had blown so hard that the entire west face of the house, and the garage door, was caked in a layer of snow.

Is the purpose of the bill supposed to be to help people or is the aim to be “bipartisan” even if people aren’t actually helped? That is how this should be reported.

So what they’re saying is, we can have a bill that will help a lot of people in a lot of ways, but only Democrats are interested in voting for that.

The late ’70s was a little ice age across the midwest and Great Lakes regions.
And in the East, as well. I was born and raised in Southern California: I had never lived anywhere else, til I moved to New York (City) in 1977.
It was some experience: the hottest summer since forever, swampish humidity: the Big Blackout of July 14, (not to mention the Son Of Sam potting away at random)- followed by the coldest winter since, again, forever: and the worst blizzard in decades, to boot.

— Martyn McLaughlin (@MartynMcL) January 31, 2021
“…Mr Harvie [co-convenor of the Scottish Greens] told The Scotsman: “The Scottish Government has tried to avoid the question of investigating Donald Trump’s wealth for far too long. There are serious concerns about how he financed the cash purchases of his Scottish golf courses, but no investigation has ever taken place.
“Nicola Sturgeon’s claims that it has nothing to do with her have been shown to be untrue. It’s long past time the government demonstrated that Scotland cannot be a country where anyone with the money can buy whatever land and property they want, no questions asked.
“That’s why I’m bringing this vote to Parliament. The government must seek an unexplained wealth order to shine a light on Trump’s shadowy dealings.”

I read that 1975 was a bear of a year here in Minnesota (before my time, personally). Mid-January saw a tremendous blizzard with 2’ of snow and drifts up to 20’ high; roads were closed for up to 4 days. November brought the infamous winter storm on Lake Superior that sank the SS Edmund Fitzgerald.

Horrible and un-precedented though it was, the Capitol insurrection did have some results that I find encouaging. The op failed primarily because the Capitol police managed to defeat the Trumpite savages in hand-to-hand combat despite being massively out-numbered and further hamstrung by traitors who left them unprepared and hostile agents who provided the attackers with tactical intelligence. I don’t think the coup plotters anticipated this possibility at all. It was their mistake to take the posturing cosplay “militia’ terrorists at their word. I’m sure Putin and the GRU have taken note.
Still pissed that Publix turned out to be a long-term cash cow for nutcase Republicans. It’s important to see past the 300K that funded the Trump riot rally—that heiress was isolated from the company in their lame disavowal of the “tragedy”.
Publix has been at this, with corporate money, for a long time.
Campaign contributions from Publix have proven polarizing in recent years.
In 2018, Publix responded to boycott threats and “die-in” protests organized by Parkland students, because of its donations to Adam Putnam, a Republican with National Rifle Association membership running for governor. The chain said it was halting its corporate political contributions but that came after donating $670,000 in a three-year period to Putnam.
That figure was the most Publix had ever donated to a single political campaign.
