Democrats tried but the bills never got out of committee. Especially when had hit $5 a gallon nation wide.

In 20 years. We are working on the speed run.

I was rushed one morning and stopped by McDonald's for breakfast on my way to work and got the 2 breakfast burrito meal. It cost almost $11. I will pretty much never be getting McDonald's again since that should be one of the cheapest things on the menus.

Does he not realize that he doesn't hold the influence or the purse strings? The only reason Mitch let this go as far as it has is because there was enough bad optics from the house and Schumer was getting enough basic legislation done that there was cover from the bad publicity.

It's been running for about 20 years so there are a lot too go through. There are a few filler stories along the way which are good and bad but the main story is really well written and illustrated and pretty different than most stories I've read.

Girl Genius is one of my favorite. https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php

I'm convinced that he didn't expect Dems to vote or McCarthy. He wanted all the bravado moments and then to be able to double down on the McCarthy works with the Dems rhetoric so he could continue to boost his profile. I truly believe Jeffries called his bluff and now Gaetz and the GOP don't know what to do.

Not to be insensitive, what they are going through is terrible, but more what? The US Secretary of State is over in Israel now. Are they expecting a US invasion of Palestine? That's pretty much what is shaping up by proxy of IDF actions. Are they mad that they haven't been personally contacted by the white house? Asking for "more" without actually specifying anything inevitably means send in military force which usually makes these situations worse for the hostages.

Really there is only like 10 players that need to say fuck it and not follow this to force Bettmans hand. If Crosby, McDavid, Matthews, or a handful of other players of their popularity and caliber use the tape during warm-ups or singing like that it really puts pressure on the NHL to fold.

Somehow I don't think the message "don't come here it's not that great" will trump staying in crime ridden poverty.

Usually I would agree but they pretty much did that with the first CR. Then Mccarthy tried to back track on promises and play strongman. They know he will do the exact same thing this time too. This puts more pressure on the far left since it makes it appear there is bipartisan support to oust him.

He was out of options. He say that the GOP was taking the whole blame and this was the only way to not get totally fucked for at least another 45 days

And it helps down ballot especially with how Trumpy the GOP is it could swing a couple lean R or toss up races. This is actually a really big deal.

It depends on the outcome of the strike. If Fain leads the union to major gains for members and then says Trump is bad for the union that holds a lot of weight and could be enough to sway the couple thousand voters in swing states away from Trump. Remember 2020 was decided by around 40k votes in 5 states.

Ohio doesn't have the racial demographic bunching that Alabama does, which from my understanding is who they were able to show easily that the appropriate maps could be drawn and even presented multiple appropriate maps in the Alabama lawsuit. Also Ohio did not sue because of racial gerrymandering, they sued because the maps violated the state constitution. Now that there is a new state SC and Dems did better in 2022 than expected Ohio dropped the suit because they won't win.

Ohio could do it because the "independent" redistricting commission is run by the governor's son and is only bipartisan in that they were forced to allow democrats on by border initiative that changed the state constitution. Ohios maps didn't have a SCOTUS ruling, just a state Supreme Court ruling and the GOP just had to wait out a year so they could shove a more conservative justice on than the one that was retiring and had sided with the liberal justices.

I'm running my V60 into the ground. Easily the best phone I've ever had and I'm really disappointed I won't be able to get another LG when this one dies.

I really like the whole composition of In Waves. It really feels like it's telling a story and all the songs flow so well into one another. I generally prefer albums that are whole and not just a collections of songs or singles. In Waves is probably one of my favorite albums for it's cohesiveness.

And yeah black album is great but I think MoP is just bangers all the way through. If I want thrash metal I want Metallica and I don't want to slow down haha.

Trivium - in waves

Lorna shore - the pain remains

Metallica - master of puppets

Sum 41 - does this look infected

Arch enemy - rise of the tyrant

Florence and the machine - MTV unplugged

Frank turner - positive songs for negative people

Highly suspect - mister asylum

Maybeshewill - not for want of trying

The mountain goats - the sunset tree

Same with me. The amount of graphs that are misleading at best that are portrayed in the news is infuriating.
