    With so many resignations, has control of Congress ever changed in the middle of a session?

  2. 2

    Shouldn’t the term “reproductive rights” be replaced by “non-reproductive rights?” It seems that all the arguing is about abortion, not reproduction.

    Control of the Senate flipped in May of 2001 and it didn’t even require a resignation from Congress. Google Jim Jeffords.

    Rare event for an Iowa class BB to be moved these days, vutthe New Jersey left Camden for its birthplace yesterday for a once in a generation dry docking, for essential maintenance. I’ve seen on social media, a few would like to see it reactivated. That’s next to impossible, would need almost the entire weaponry replaced. 5”/38s are no longer in service. The Tomahawk launcher is also a design no longer in use.

    The last time Donald Trump took a company trading as DJT public it began trading at $35.
    Over the course of it’s brief history with Mr. Trump at the helm the company lost over a billion dollars.

    The new DJT begins trading at $37.

    Last time DJT went from $35 to $0.17 in just five years.

  10. 10

    By the end of 1996 DJT was spending all of its income on interest payments on the $1.7 billion dollars of Trump’s accumulated personal debt that he had shifted over to DJT as it’s Chairman and CEO. None of the company’s operating expenses other than Trump’s salary and bonuses were paid.

    Investors with inside information began to escape first. But soon a sellers panic set in and the price of shares in DJT began to collapse. Even as the share price went into freefall Trump approved a 70% increase in his own salary. And while the company was spending every cent of income servicing the enormous personal debts Trump had moved onto its accounts, Trump told the Wall Street Journal that “Other than the stock price, we’re doing great.”

    Over the next six years, as DJT’s share price fell too low to remain on a major exchange, Trump used the company and it’s operations to support, fund, and promote his other, privately held businesses, spending lavishly and running up huge expenses on DJT’s accounts with his privately owned golf courses, clubs, and his refurbished Boeing 757.

    Gasp.

    You mean that thing we all knew was happening happened?

    Maybe if we started a rumor Kroeger has a CEO from Singapore…

    Large grocery retailers took advantage of supply chain disruptions to beat out smaller rivals and protect their profits during the pandemic, according to a report released by the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday.

    The report found that some large firms “accelerated and distorted” the effects of supply chain snarls, including by pressuring suppliers to favor them over competitors. Food and beverage retailers also posted strong profits during the height of the pandemic and continue to do so today, casting doubt on assertions that higher grocery prices are simply moving in lock step with retailers’ own rising costs, the authors argued.

    “Some firms seem to have used rising costs as an opportunity to further hike prices to increase their profits, and profits remain elevated even as supply chain pressures have eased,” the report read.

    Speaking to a scrum of reporters on the Capitol steps, MTG said: “I’m not saying that it won’t happen in two weeks or it won’t happen in a month or who knows when. But I am saying the clock has started.”

    Having made it past the funding crisis, the Speaker is officially on notice.
    At any time this chubby, middle school hall monitor can destroy him. So now the Speaker must cater to her or else.

    Democrats say they would likely rescue Mike Johnson from ouster

    What they’re saying: “I think what Leader Jeffries has said is we’re not going to punish anyone for doing the right thing. Today, Johnson did the right thing by funding the government,” Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) told Axios.

    Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) told Axios he would vote to protect Johnson, while Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) said in a post on X: “I will never stand by and let MTG to take over the people’s House.”
    “I’m not going to let this go to a Congress shutdown, so if my vote mattered, I would vote against the MTV,” another House Democrat told Axios.

    Horrifying video shows man walking off with severed leg after lethal train accident in California: ‘He’s eating that’

    The Kern County Sheriff’s Office said that a train struck a woman at about 8:05 a.m. near G and 7th streets in the town of Wasco near Bakersfield.

    A witness told KGET-TV that they saw a man remove a severed leg from the scene near an Amtrak Station.
    …
    A voice can be heard on the video saying, “He’s eating that s**t!” in English and then in Spanish.

    Some of the news videos edit out the portions where it looks like he might be eating the leg.
    …
    Some reports say he was charged with mutilating the body, which supports the claim that he had devoured some of it.

    OK, who wants dark meat?

    Alternative exit to this spew:

    1 day ago — Moment that Maryland Senate representative David Trone uses racial slur ‘jiggaboo’ during House meeting.

    Man, that sure came off Trone’s tongue with familiarity, didn’t it?

  23. 23

    Now, I know you’re all doing your level best to ignore the incident of the racial slur so familiarly uttered by a Democrat candidate for US Senate during a House session, and I really don’t blame you.
    People just don’t say that word in an accidental manner unless they frequently use that word in an intentional manner. Do they.

    The real problem for Democrats is that Manchin’s seat is gone. Probably forever. And when Hogan flips the Maryland seat, come 2025 the Senate will be under Republican control with newly elected Majority Leader Rand PaulTed CruzJohn Thune. Freshly elected President Trump and a GOP-led Senate and a GOP-led House will right the listing Biden junk in a hurry.

    Republican Larry Hogan leads Maryland’s Senate race by a wide margin, but voters in the blue state clearly prefer Democratic control of the U.S. Senate, a new poll shows.

    The Washington Post-University of Maryland survey found Hogan beating both likely Democratic contenders by double digits in hypothetical general election matchups. The moderate Republican led Rep. David Trone, 49 percent to 37 percent, and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, 50 percent to 36 percent.

    Trone is the jigaboo dude, and Baltimore is in Maryland. Why is Jigaboo Dude still in the primary race, Democrats?

    “It’s hard to say exactly what that moment is, but there will come a point where no job is needed,” Musk told U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. “You can have a job if you want to have a job or sort of personal satisfaction, but the AI will be able to do everything.”..

    Musk’s concept of “universal high income” appears to be an evolution of the universal basic income (UBI) idea supported by other tech leaders like Sam Altman.

    “We won’t have universal basic income. We’ll have universal high income,” Musk said, though he did not explicitly define the difference. “In some sense, it’ll be somewhat of a leveler, an equalizer.” It’s worth noting this isn’t the first time Musk addressed the topic. In 2018, he posted on X: “Universal income will be necessary over time if AI takes over most human jobs.”

    Biden is betting that being a wartime president will get him re-elected. It wins work because we all see through that plot.

    If he wants to win in November, he should do two things:

    1. Recognize that a neutral Ukraine is good for all. After all, NATO is fairly large, even without Ukraine. Neutrality would work for them just as it does for Switzerland and Austria.

    2. Stop the overzealous support of Israel. They are NOT allies: just some people trying to control our government through AIPAC money. Stop the weapons flow, declare neutrality and stay out of Israeli/Palestinian affairs.

    That will work, but I doubt Joe’s handlers will even let him consider such good ideas. They, too, are controlled by the AIPAC lobby.

    LPT: All prosecution decisions are selective. All of them. Always.

    What kind of mouth breathing fuck stick does get this?

    Oh, I get it. A mouth breathing fuck stick who has been brainwashed by a 78-year-old bankrupted failed television celebrity.

    All prosecution is selective. All prosecutors discriminate even. That’s why we elect our prosecutors. That’s our system. The point is that it may not be unlawful discrimination.

    Trump is a boastful, fat, aggressive, lying, fraud. He’s a criminal and civil training wreck. There is absolutely nothing about him that is in any way the slightest bit disadvantaged. He’s been levered up by others his whole life, from the proctors his father paid to help him cheat his way through school, to the doctors his father paid to keep him out of Viet Nam, to the corrupt lawyers who are all going to jail for him.

    There is no credible reason any ethical prosecutor would ever find to show any leniency toward him or his crimes. He’s a complete piece of shit human being who has directly ruined the lives of thousands of New York citizens.

    Letitia James is doing the job the people of New York elected her to do. And she must be doing it very well. She’s managing to drive a lying idiot troll sweltering in a prepper cabin in the woods on Whidbey Island to fits of sobbing.

    Why keep a woman whose approval rating is in the 20s on the Democrat ticket?

    In the past, Biden’s team has quietly expressed reservations about Harris, but know they cannot replace her on the ticket without angering a significant part of his base.

    Thursday morning, Biden’s social media team extended a rare post on X warmly praising Harris and added, ‘We couldn’t do this without you, Kamala.’

    Harris’ approval ratings continue to slide as an NBC poll conducted in January revealed that 53% of voters view her negatively. Only 28 percent of voters view her positively.

    Know what will anger an even bigger part of the Biden base?

    President Donald J. Trump in 2025 will.

    Pharmaceutical companies worry the Supreme Court’s abortion pill ruling could have a wider effect on drugs and research

    Drug and biotech companies have been sounding the alarm, arguing that a decision restricting access to mifepristone will have implications for a wide array of medications and devices, including but not limited to intrauterine devices, HIV prevention pills, emergency contraception and vaccines.
    “A precedent’s been set,” said Dr. Amanda Banks, the managing director of Banks Advisory, which works with companies to develop therapeutics. “This can apply to any drug, any device, any diagnostic, any vaccine.”

    @89 “Viscous troll” is darn borderline, if you ask me, but I’m not a moderator here, so it’s not up to me.

    Near spellings appear to pass muster, but exact spellings do not. Thus, “Viscous troll” flies, but “Vicious troll” does not; “Roger Rarebit” flies, but “Roger Rabbit” does not. The test is whether readers can tell it’s not you (or me).

    So far as I’ve observed, this rule is firmly and uniformly enforced, with no exceptions. You are not being singled out. I can’t do it any more than you can (not that I would want to). None of us can.

    Darryl doesn’t read the threads (unlike us, he has better things to do), so he acts on it if someone brings it to his attention. And he will, every time.

    And if your answer is yes, and your only objection to DEI is that it elevates less-qualified or unqualified candidates, would fixing that defect of DEI make DEI acceptable to you?

    The other troll who currently styles himself as “Vicious Troll” is a fraud who has traded commenting identities at least a dozen times and actively alternated between several different aliases simultaneously throughout.

    Mine is a unique alias, albeit a similar one. But at least mine is honest. I am indeed extremely viscous, greasy, sticky and thick. And I too come here to troll. It was out of a sincere abundance of concern for the delicate snowflake-like emotional feelings of that other troll that I intentionally selected an alternative spelling for “Tro11”.
    Besides, it’s not as if that worthless piece of shit holds a copyright on the word “troll”. Again, at least my alias is honest.

    It’s a war and Hamas needs to surrender or face elimination.

    The Japanese on Iwo Jima fought to “the last man”.. All Japanese who survived the campaign were captured and taken prisoner.

    Why? Iwo Jima was no ordinary island in the Pacific. Invading Iwo Jima, to the Japanese, was invading a part of Japan that had been theirs since there was a Japan..

    After decades of brutal, unjust military occupation, countless massacres, assassinations and the unconscionable, unfathomable indifference to the suffering of the displaced Palestinians on the part of the beneficiaries of the “Jewish state”, there will be no surrender.. Hamas and Islamic Jihad will fight to the last man taking every IDF combatant they can with them.

    A recent podcast I listened to featuring a leftist author, the writer declared the Palestinian cause pretty much lost. Short of the U.S. reversing course and withholding military aid, Bibi and its madmen will prosecute the war with the aim of indefinite military occupation of Gaza with the endgame of the annexation of both Gaza and the West Bank.. Jar-Jar Kushner licking its chops over the waterfront property.

    The lives of a 100 or so hostages is a small price to pay towards that end.

    The Palestinians will then have to accept being herded into tighter and tighter “ghettoes” with second class rights at best and the Israeli state monitoring their every breath – after all – these survivors had their parents and relatives massacred. To the Israelis, they are ticking time bombs. Yes, they can also leave..

    A “Jewish state” whose inhabitants aren’t exclusively Jewish doesn’t make much sense. I understand some Jews still live in the Islamic Republic of Iran though. Don’t know about Christians. Pluralism does not describe Iran.

    “Didn’t earn it” makes the very questionable assumption that DEI candidates aren’t equally qualified.

    They aren’t.

    Kamala Harris graduated from Howard University.

    Howard University Admissions
    Howard University admissions has an acceptance rate of 53% and an early acceptance rate of 64%. Half the applicants admitted to Howard University who submitted test scores have an SAT score between 1050 and 1290 or an ACT score of 20 and 26. However, one quarter of admitted applicants achieved scores above these ranges and one quarter scored below these ranges.

    One-fourth of the successful applicants had SAT scores lower than 1050. And it’s not because they shoot 50% from outside the three-point arc.

    Reaching out specifically for applicants merely because they check one or more boxes all too frequently means reaching out specifically for applicants who otherwise wouldn’t make the cut.

    If you’re going to keep DEI in your program, fine, but don’t lie about what it means to the quality of your successful applicant pool.

    I just saw a video that says Israel has LOST. The world is appalled at the genocide and will refuse to do business with Israel.. Israel’s economy is in the dumper and it will only continue to do worse. The Arab elites who have warmed to Israel recently will pull back in deathly fear of the Arab street.

    The war has dashed Israeli hopes for its economy:

    How many Israelis have given up on Israel and have left? Many of them have other passports, other places to go. As the world pulls back in horror at what Israel has done, that will only get worse. The global ill will towards the attitude of the jewish state today is unprecedented.

    If any 1,776 true patriots simultaneously look directly into the face of the full totality of the solar eclipse on April 8th with their naked eyes for a full 47 seconds (47th President) then prophecy holds that Trump will return and save America.

    Remember that this is a moving event. So in order for the requisite minimum number of 1,776 true believers to perform the required act of obedience to Trump simultaneously all of their number must be present in the same area of totality on the Earth’s surface at the same time.

    Therefore a unifying and coordinated symbol has been developed for MAGA patriots to use to recognize each other and coordinate their observances.

    If you wish to be counted among the true patriots who did their duty to ensure His return then you must take all the necessary steps to ensure that you time your act of obedience to Trump in coordination with other patriots in your area. To ensure this you must first wear your official Trump red “Make America Great Again” hat on April 8th. At the appointed time for the beginning of the totality in your area light your official Trump red “Make America Great Again” hat fully on fire as a signal to all other patriots. Then immediately begin your timed direct observation of the totality event with your naked eyes for the full 47 seconds (Trump – 47th President).

    We The People have it within our own power to defeat the Deep State and ensure Trump’s glorious return and our nation’s redemption for the tyranny of evil men.

    149,

    I wouldn’t count on that.

    Near term his best prospects for rescue lie first with the Appellate Division of New York Supreme Court where his motions for stay of the judgement are currently lodged. After that he can file an appeal to the New York State Court of Appeals… perhaps. But not at least initially if he fails to bond the judgement or post the amount in full tomorrow. It’s a clockwork deadline and the only thing that can stand in the way of that deadline expiring and commencement of enforcement will be either the Appellate Division issuing an interlocutory stay tomorrow to give more time for reviewing the appeals or a “kind hearted” AG James choosing to slow walk enforcement.

    I wouldn’t count on either of those things. But of the two the better odds are with the stay of the judgement. And I judge those to be not good odds at all. Granting of the stay would be predicated on the strength of the evidence presented by Trump’s attorneys that he is likely to prevail on the merits and that enforcement would produce irreparable harm. He has a solid argument that forced sales of property at auction under these circumstances would result in irreparable harm.

    Too bad his lengthy filing in support of the motion was devoid of anything counting as actual evidence for his claims on the merits.

    Pleading for mercy would have been more appropriate two years ago when Tish James was willing to negotiate and before Trump had paid his CFO a $1 million bonus to commit perjury. And before Trump spent six months issuing death threats to court employees.

    The extent is also above the average for the period 2011-2020 and is rapidly approaching the average for the period 2001-2010…
