NC’s Hudson pulls Alabama congressman away from Gaetz confrontation on House floor

@LucyLoohoo Normally you just ask to join, as long as they don't reject you, you're in. The more members a caucus has, the more sway it has. most members are members of several caucuses.

House speaker breakthrough: McCarthy picks up 14 GOP votes in 12th round of voting

glennlab replies on Jan 6, 2023:

@silverotter11 It is the responsibility of the majority party to provide a candidate that has enough support to get elected, this was a failure of leadership. The Republicans have known since November that McCarthy did not have enough support within the caucus to win. He may get the office that he wanted, but he has so gutted it that all he gets is the office space and stationery, and the good seat for 2 State of the Union speeches.

glennlab replies on Jan 5, 2023:

@Lizard_of_Ahaz Once elected speaker, he will void any agreement he made with democrats, he has proven that in the past, there is no way the democratic party should help him, let the majority fight it out. There is no enforcement mechanism that can be enforced by the courts and no punishment that can be enforced by the house by less than a majority vote or a 2/3 vote to expel. The reality is Kevin may have to give away the farm to get enough votes and still may not get there. They know if they go for a plurality candidate, it will probably be Jeffries.

glennlab replies on Jan 4, 2023:

@dkp93, @Julie808 Democrats best bet is to remain voting for Jeffries and let the Republicans look like incompetent idiots. We have seen from their past actions that the republican caucus is not to be trusted to keep their words, even Kevin can't get them to keep their word from caucus to floor, so what chance would democrats have of holding them to their word. If someone wants to switch parties, that would be welcome, but unless they are willing to put an I or D in party affiliation, don't trust them.

It's 11:37 AM CST, once again McCarthy has lost enough of his caucus to lose.

Redheadedgammy comments on Jan 4, 2023:

I hope this goes on for months. No one will be assigned to any committee's until a speaker is elected. This will prevent the crazies from starting their shit.

We have some conservatives here and some Clinton neo-cons as well....

glennlab replies on Dec 31, 2022:

We have some progressives and liberals that might break their arms patting themselves on the back too.

Interesting choices.

Trumpty Dumpty's reputation as a businessman has just been totally trashed by the IRS: [abc.

He's all the rage today.

glennlab replies on Dec 31, 2022:

@LucyLoohoo, like @zeuser said, it is hyperbole. Technically the chairman of Ways and means could request anyone's tax return, but the 50 year tradition of presidents voluntarily releasing their returns to insure that they are not cheating on their taxes was carefully weighed against any negative actions. The Supreme court has no rule or law demanding that they be audited each year, or have any history of justices voluntarily releasing their tax returns, so tradition would not be precedent nor is their an audit requirement in law, though there probably should be.

China's Rover Finds Traces of Never-Before-Seen Basalt on The Moon: [sciencealert.com]

puff comments on Dec 30, 2022:

Basalt means water doesn't it? So the moon had water once?

glennlab replies on Dec 31, 2022:

@puff both are igneous rocks, neither requires water to form, basalt is low in silica and rapid;ly cools, granite is high in silica and cools slowly, you were the one that assumed it had to have water. Basic 7th grade earth science.

Basalt is fine grained igneous rock, not fucking water. The moon has water in the form of ice and some of minerals, not in its lava flows.

Correct reactions.

It looks like Mr. Tate has beaten out Elon for biggest dumb ass move of the year.

Lizard_of_Ahaz comments on Dec 30, 2022:

Actually Tate was arrested for forming an organized crime group which involved human trafficking and rape along with his brother and another suspect if I am reading the report correctly.... Seems he was also running a scam school for crypto-currencies... ...

glennlab replies on Dec 30, 2022:

But they didn't know where he was until he posted his picture to troll Greta.

That would be the FAA Buff, the orange paint is the giveaway., The Vulcans looked like a manta ray in the sky from the underside.

@Beowulfsfriend I spent 5 years with the big ugly flying fuckers, We had D,E, and Fs parked that were too shot up to fly peacetime and a full wing of Gs. The D,E, &Fs were all retired under SALT where we "gave up" nuclear delivery systems in exchange for a similar reduction in Soviet weapons.

@OldGoat43 And they are hard to capture the exact thing you are looking for. I still refuse to embellish my photos except to crop or enlarge. Mainly because I lack the artistic talent to make it work.
