She’s got huge… tracts of land.

The other races are close, also. There are two others where the Republican is ahead by less than .2% , and they are still counting. And the last race is in Alaska, the Republican is currently up by 2% but they haven’t done the Ranked Choice voting calculations and there may be enough people who picked the Democrat 2nd to put her over the top.

While it’s unlikely that Democrats could manage to win all 4 of the remaining seats, if they do then Republicans would hold a slim 1-seat majority, which Beavis already resigned away. So unless Florida could schedule the special election quickly, the House could be evenly divided, even before a few GOP’ers leave for Trump’s cabinet

No, I mean there will definitely be GOP Senators who vote against Trump’s picks, if for no other reason that they have 3 votes to spare, and some will get Hall Passes. Thats how the Senate works. Their careers will not be ruined, by Tuberville or anyone else.

He might not be able to deliver on that threat. And once it fails once, it loses it’s power and it will never work again.

$40k a year is probably for a tiny inside cabin with no window, and only enough room for a week’s worth of clothes. And no permanent address, if you want something that is not available on the boat you will have to figure out how to get it at the next port.

No need to misgender him, though, we should just start calling him Trump’s sugar daddy

Something something broken clock

He can date whichever man he wants, whether it’s Elon or Vladimir, and no one should judge him for it.

It’s from Dr. horrible. Did the link work for you? It didn’t for me, so I edited it out

Anyone have a “The hammer is my penis” meme handy from Dr. Horrible?

Foreign countries realize that the easiest way to get inside info on the inner workings of the Trump Whitehouse is to stage a spy at Mar-a-Lago. It looks like the media has caught on.

I wonder if Trump will now get super paranoid about his one safe space…

System 7 Ready!

Yes, the VP position can remain vacant indefinitely, or at least until the end of a term when another VP can be elected through the normal process. The only thing that is lost is the tiebreaking vote. Well, and the fact that if the President has a colonoscopy and is put under sedation nobody is available to be acting President. I don’t think the House Speaker is able to take that job for just a few hours like the Vice President can.

Kamala Harris was actually Acting President for 85 minutes in 2021, and probably at least once after that.

(nope, she did it just that once. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acting_President_of_the_United_States )

It has never happened before, so we don’t really know. What I think would happen is that Vance would just get immediately sworn in as the President on Jan 20 if God exercises His Ultimate Veto on Trump’s second term.

But the Presidential Succession Act only covers vacancies for the Presidency. Once the office of the President is filled again, nothing else happens. It’s not like everyone else “moves up” a slot. Mike Johnson would probably see the VP position as a demotion honestly.

The Office of the VP would remain vacant until President Vance nominates a candidate, and then it must be approved by both houses of Congress in order for the position to be filled.

I’m kind of hopeful, actually, that the fact that they are publically whining so much about escalating to a world war is an indication that they don’t have the means to do so, short of going Nuclear, and I think even Putin realizes how that will end up.

I mean, he is already bringing in foreign fighters. isn’t that a concession that Russian fighters can’t do the job in Ukraine themselves? If they had the means to escalate while still fighting in Ukraine, they wouldn’t whine about it, they would just do it.

You are making the mistaken assumption that the brute squad will bother to differentiate between them. How many second+ generation immigrants carry around proof of citizenship, anyway? They can be detained just like anyone else who doesn’t look right.

(And it’s super easy to carry that now, the passport card is cheap, fits in your wallet, and is a good first line of defense against being disappeared.)

He did that so quickly because he knows how to skim money out of campaigns. I bet he will start a campaign fund for 2028, even though he is ineligible, “just in case”.

Hegseth also has deep connections with the so-called TheoBros, a collection of ultra-conservative and extremely online millennial Christian men who follow an Idaho pastor named Douglas Wilson. Some of Wilson’s followers believe that the United States should, as Mother Jones’ Kiera Butler has written, “be subject to Biblical law.”

Interesting. The only difference between these guys and Islamic Fundamentalists who are in charge in places like Afghanistan are which book they want to use as the basis of their laws, and the color of their hats.

Um ackshually, 2000 was still the 20th Century so Bill could troll the Jets twice in successive centuries.

If I recall correctly, back then Lemmings didn’t want to vote for her because she was a cop.
