  • Different strokes for different folks; I much prefer to quickly check myself out rather than waiting in line for someone to check my stuff out for me while dragging me into small talk and packing my bags in the most illogical way conceivable.

  • That is an impressive selective reading of the article. One could be left to wonder how, in good faith, you could have possibly missed all of this:

    Durbin went straight to their votes, saying senators already had two chances to debate their nominations.
    ...
    “I understand what you’d like to do, but I’m saying, in fairness, we’ve debated these nominees twice,” Durbin said. “I ask the clerk to call the roll.”
    ...
    Through all this, Durbin sat expressionless, waiting for breaks in the attacks to quietly direct the clerk to continue the roll call. He periodically reminded Republicans that they’d already had two chances to debate both nominees in two separate hearings.
    ...
    This is the third time they were brought up,” he added of the two nominees at the center of Thursday’s hearing. “That’s the reason the ruling was made by the chair.”
    ...
    A committee spokesperson noted that Kennedy spoke on Kasubhai in a Nov. 2 hearing and again in a Nov. 19 hearing, for a total of 12 minutes.
    ...
    Graham spoke on both nominees in the Nov. 2 hearing, for about two minutes, too. And Cotton spoke on Kasubhai in the Nov. 9 hearing for about six minutes.

  • Marco Rubio, JD Vance, Rick Scott, Tommy Tuberville, and Mike Braun; in case you were wondering who could possibly be that clownish.

    "We should immediately restrict travel between the United States and (China) until we know more about the dangers posed by this new illness,"

    We literally have zero evidence to suggest there's a new illness. None.

  • The deadline for parties to submit a list of approved candidates to state election officials is Thursday.

    But Florida Democrats acted before then, sending a notice on Nov. 1 to the state that had Biden as the only primary candidate. Phillips had entered the race a few days earlier, and self-help guru Marianne Williamson had been campaigning for months by then.

    So when they submitted the candidate list the Dems only had one serious candidate and nothing has changed since then. Got it.

  • Another hole in his claims of Total Presidential Monarchy.

  • UFO conspiracists demanding transparency remind me of crypto people demanding regulatory clarity: They've gotten it but they don't like the answers so they pretend they haven't.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would vote against the expulsion, an aide said.

    Welp; now we know how he got Santos' vote for Speaker.

  • U.S. District Judge Alia Moses in Del Rio, Texas, in a written order, criticized the Biden administration for its "utter failure" to prevent unlawful entry into the United States, but said Texas was unlikely to prevail on its claims that a federal policy of removing the fencing was illegal.

    God Republican judges have universally become such clowns. "Fine. I'll enforce the law and Constitution if I have no other choice but I'm still going to include false far-right talking points in my order!"

    For anyone that cares about the truth, 2022 saw a record number of apprehensions at the border (you know, people being prevented unlawful entry) and 2023 has seen even more.

  • It's just them doing this yet again.

  • So now Canadian news outlets are basically partners with Google who have a significant revenue stream that depends on Google's continued success. If you thought you saw a lot of big-tech cheerleading out of the media before just you wait; we're in a whole new era.
