Biden 21 - ? (?)

No goo(D) guy has been voted out of office since 1980 while two w(R)ong guys have been.
 
no matter how much good team Biden has done for the country, i have a strange feeling Haley will somehow end up in the Whitehouse: if (and it is a big IF) she swings the nomination, the non-magat anti-Bidenites will see her as a far more palatable choice than trump would have been. If she gets it, i also see her moving along the lines of maraget thatcher, which would be horrible.

I don’t think Haley would win.

The MAGAts would abandon her for various reasons.

The MAGAt “men” would abandon her out of pure misogyny, her “establishment” bona fides, and her "betrayal" of the corrupt orange traitor.

The MAGAt women would abandon her because they’re basically self loathing handmaidens, and because their MAGAt "men” screamed about Haley’s "establishment” boma fides, and her "betrayal" of the corrupt orange traitor.

The “republicans” are as terrified as Fox "news” about losing their MAGAt base, so they will back the corrupt orange traitor to the end, imho.

Congressional leaders reach short-term funding deal to keep government open: Sources

A short-term deal has been reached by congressional leaders to keep the government open until March, sources said.



That oughta make the MAGAts wriggle.
 
Johnson will be vacated by the end of the month
I would hope this time, Johnson reaches across the aisle and makes some kind of an agreement. Otherwise the minority rightwing nuts are going to cost them the next election. Not that that would be a bad thing....Carry on!!

I'm sure Dribs has a different perspective. Can't wait to hear it
 
This kind of crap can't happen:


"An Ohio elected official’s constitutional rights were violated when her colleagues on a county board of commissioners had her arrested for criticizing the sheriff during a public meeting, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Niki Frenchko, the lone Republican on the three-member Trumbull County Board of Commissioners, was placed in handcuffs by sheriff’s deputies at the commissioners’ meeting on July 7, 2022, and charged under an Ohio law that makes it a misdemeanor to “prevent or disrupt a lawful meeting.” The law prohibits obstructive conduct or speech that “outrages the sensibilities of the group.” The charge was later dropped,"

"At one point, Cantalamessa told Frenchko: “You are talking about the chief law enforcement officer in Trumbull County; it’s unacceptable,” according to a transcript cited by the judge. Fuda then called for a sergeant in the back of the room, telling Frenchko, “You got a choice, you wanna apologize to the Sheriff, fine; if you don’t, we’re going to move on.”"

"“Here in America, we do not arrest our political opponents,” the judge wrote. “This case tests that longstanding norm as well as our Constitution’s robust protections for free speech that allow us to criticize our representatives and public officials.”

"Calabrese ruled that the sheriff, two deputies, and both county commissioners named in the suit — one of whom has since left the board — are personally liable for damages. A hearing on damages will be scheduled later."

This was all over an inmate death at the county jail. Absolutely the Sheriff can and should be criticized.

I hope the fines are high enough to really hurt.
