Seems like finally a deal in place. 14th try.

For real. I have been to Southfork. I had it wrong. The creator defended it against critics who said it’s “anti woke” and conservative.

He's asked how he can expect to govern given how long this is taking and he says "This is good thing about it, because it takes this long we learn how to govern". What an incredible bullshitty non answer. I've heard better crap in job interviews.

pathetic.... Although it would be hilarious if it doesn't work. Strike against both of them. Can't lose.
-
It's surreal watching this today and thinking about 2 years ago.... the cops pointing their guns at the door we are seeing quite often.

I don't watch Yellowstone, have no idea what it's about other than a western of some sort, but I saw tweets saying some people are upset that it's become "woke" because of a plot point. That made me laugh. We binged White Lotus over the break. It was entertaining but the whole "rich people suck" angle jumped out. I got past it though. I'm not looking for that when I watch TV shows.

Based on non votes McC needs 3 more votes. 431 voting members. But one of the D's that didn't vote is on their way back which will move his up to 217 required as there would be 432 voting members. So on a new vote he needs 4.

Gosar flipped to McCarthy. That guy looks weird.... his mannerisms. Almost like someone with Parkinson's or something like it. Mack will finish in the lead but will be short. Will they/can they change it to a plurality rather than majority? Are missing voters going to make the threshhold smaller to win? So that 218 isn't needed? Who isn't there?

Replies are funny. Although I do get a little put off when Hollywood tries to make fun of itself yet everyone involved in said production is still doing what they mock. It’s fine because the shows are entertaining and nobody forces me to watch. But don’t pretend to be making some big social commentary either.

For those reps considering... I wonder if they take into account what LBJ said about the difference between the House and Senate? If you know you know.

It’s safe to shop at Walgreens

At the end of the day I guess I blame McCarthy. He knows he doesn’t have the votes. Those 20 members, despite their motivations, are entitled to vote for the speaker they wish. He’s the one who is making this foolish now. They stood their ground. It’s time for the GOP to accept reality and come up with a solution.

Dingell won't run for Senate.
-
It would have be a lightning round type game though... you have 2-3 seconds to answer. Jody Reed? Mike Bordick? Bip Roberts? Luis Salazar? Chris Getz?

Making up a game called "Did they play for the Tigers" featuring washed up Middle Infielders would be fun.

I think a senate seat is a step down for Pete at this point.
-
You also have our Big 3 who are term limited in their current roles. Whitmer/Nessel/Benson.

"I seen that" in the Detroit News push alert. I remember when she upset Abraham in 2000. I think she would have beaten Engler in 1994 if Dems didn't nominate Wolpe. I think that was when the UAW still had some stronger sway in the party.
-
How soon, or has it started yet, does the Fox crowd start to blame democrats?
-
-
To elect Jefferies I assume. Otherwise what does the GOP have to offer the Dems? Assignments? Non Assignments? Jan 6 continues?
-
If someone else prevails does MK stay Majority Leader?

It's simply a game of chicken between the FC and McCarthy. Whoever flinches is wounded. FC doesn't care if nothing goes further. They can blame McCarthy and look like heroes to their voters. They win even if the country loses. If McCarthy or the GOP flinches then the nation knows the FC owns them.
