I think we dodged a bullet. I for one am very relieved that there is virtually no possibility of Jan 6 type shenanigans.

If Trump and his buffoons don't pull some Jan 6 crap, I expect him to on a golf course pretending to not care.  There won't be a middle.

RE: The Absurd GOP
Jan 6 type shenanigans have absolutely nothing to do with actual vote totals.  Honestly, if the vote disparity were positively dire that's just -more- reason...to the cultists...to Do Something....about it. These people have hinged their entire political agenda against democratic governance. Most people voting the wrong way™ isn't a reason to accept the wishes of the public, it's a reason to rise up against the public and subjugate them by force.

For their own good...ofc.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I was speaking of the move to refuse to seat new Democratic electees in the house. They may have been emboldened to do that with 5 or so new reps but no way in hell does it happen with 40+ from over a dozen states.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Megan Doyle, the Vice President of Turning Point USA at Rutgers, alleges that she was held down and sexually assaulted by TPUSA leaders at the organization's national convention this year.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

With the tangerine toddler at the helm, there is always that possibility.

Speaker Johnson cancelled the vote on Hegseth's impeachment. Tells you something, dunnit?

Honestly, I don't know why they didn't let this go ahead. Hegseth probably would have been impeached, he was never going to be comvicted.

^My badski - it seems the vote took place after all. Heggie-poo skated through by the skin of his capped teeth because 11 Democrats didn’t bother to show up for the vote.

Oh, well - January’s not that far off.

I spoke with an uncle of mine the other night.  He is getting pretty far up in years and his kids ask me to report to them if he seems confused.

He is NOT confused about how he feels about Hegseth.  In fact, I have never heard him that mad...mad but quite clear about it.  

Uncle served in Viet Nam.  The Trumps and Hegseths in this world really rile him up.

I’ve never served, but I’m given to understand that ACTUAL soldier tend despise wannabes who glorify war.

Hegseth was reprimanded by the guard at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for chatting, laughing and taking a photo op.
