You could paint all of these facts on the back of every righties eyelids, and they still will not admit it. They are unreachable, having been thoroughly groomed by Rush Limbaugh and right wing media, and the comfort of having their Congress people parroting the crap that emanates from right wing media. Add to that their churches preaching that god only approves of Republicans, and you have the perfect storm of ignorance.
It’s okay, Darr. I thought you were using a WAPO/NYT generic “Congress”, when it’s clear that the reason for failure is owing to the obduracy of one political party, the GOP. Obviously, that’s not what you meant. Sorry.

No worries at all. I am happy to help if I can. I have seen many times where media will say “Congress” when they mean The House only. And that makes it very confusing. But if I (for myself) say “Congress” I mean both chambers. It is clear to me the GOP is the offending party with respect to our national idiocy around guns. They are fine will mass death as long as their reelection is not threatened.
Forgive my bitterness around this subject please. It offends me deeply that our government refuses to protect the citizenry. Assault rifles were specifically designed to kill people. They belong in the hands of the military for whom they were intended, not average Joe Citizen who needs to compensate for his tiny reproductive member.

Yes but HOAs don’t have the same structural bias for the minority. hahahaha This is a problem in the constitution.
It would depend on how openly someone was swindling an HOA because just everybody in one can’t get ahold of the financials. I know, I was a member of an HOA and tried to get ours.

Any idea that posits Cronyn as a “rational” anything is automatically void of any credibility.

I think you should all know that I gritted my teeth, swallowed my worst propensities, and avoided any further comment.

If it’s any consolation, the J6 Opens up Hearings in 10 days.
The GOP is better at chaos than we are at policy. Not because we are terrible at policy, but because chaos brings outrage** on the one hand and derp*** on the other.
BOTH are money-makers
** for us
*** for them

I’m going to miss a fair portion of the live broadcasts - leaving on Sunday the 5th for the Dominican Republic for work until the 10th. Highly unlikely anyone there is going to do the broadcast.
Hoping for a live blog here…

No, that’s not what I meant, and I sorely doubt it answered @ralph_vonholst’s query, either.
Would you expect legislators of both parties to act in congress in Congress? If not, just what would you expect from them?

Turtle figures he can slow-walk it do death, and if lo and behold the polls show the GOP will be punished, then he can tell Cornhole to go ahead and make a small concession to spin as meaningful action.

Rational decision making requiring compromise would be necessary in my view. Compromise to an agreement being the lubrication that allows a two party system to work. Without compromise absolutely nothing gets accomplished in the House for one. The Senate is different as they have a minority roadblock, the filibuster requiring 60 votes, that must be satisfied before any debate or compromise is possible on a bill and before that bill can be voted on. But still compromise is necessary in that chamber as well. when one side or the other refuses to compromise then the whole thing becomes useless time spent getting pissed at each other.

I almost wish I was going to be around when she has all that breast surgery reversed because she’s 60 and it’s killing her to carry around. She will have it taken back out - maybe sooner than that.

Only the Republicans are guilty of that.
