Back in the days when Senators weren't full time and didn't have staffs numbering in the hundreds, the cloture vote was basically a vote to begin debate on the topic for the first time.

These days it's a formality.

Fake e: Ugh, the Uber driver is listening to conservative talk radio about why Ford is a lying.

They've been cutting funding to staffing for a while, part of why (apart from simple corruption) Congress people rely on think tanks and lobbyists to inform them about stuff. Average senator has a staff if six, average represtative has a staff of five.

Committees have a lot more, average of 68 for house committees and 46 for senate.

I was including their constituent services/regional offices staff as well. But you make a good point about the effect that reducing congressional staff has had.

Because I like talking politics, we are gonna talk about Andrew Gillum, dem candidate for governor of florida. He is one of those guys at the front of the incoming blue wave.



Florida is a bastion of good thunk and florida mans, but I am happy with the polling for this guy.



I am excited for this guy mainly because I don't see too many people taking a stance on criminal reform. Cons though is pretty much isreal.

Here are his issues

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I remember the taxi ride from Keesler to the airport. The guy had insane right wing talk radio on, and whoever it was insisted that soon to be president-elect Obama was a Manchurian Candidate. I just let it go because I didn't want to get dumped out in some bad part of Gulfport. Now there really is a Manchurian Candidate and they couldn't love him more.

Boy if you think they're insufferable now wait until the confirmation. They're going to go bananas. My extremely conservative mom was on the phone with my likewise dad and was mocking the women of the senate for feeling bad for "that poor woman". It's really hard to nail the tone, but I think you get what I'm going for.

No, just that he likes to party hard.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Hedonistic rocker Andrew W.K held a press conference today to address accusations that his stage persona may be a “gimmick,” releasing his personal calendar archives as evidence that he was, in fact, at every single party in 1982.

“Any claims that I have not been loving poo poo up my whole life are part of a calculated hit,” shouted a visibly upset W.K, flipping through a heavily annotated SMURFS calendar found in his parents’ basement. “I partied my tail off to be here — whether a birthday party, a wedding, or even a tea party, I was there.”

Much like good pets, this world isn't good enough for Mr. WK.

He has some issues though:

IIRC the city government and mayor's office were under investigation for the past few years. Not sure how much, if any, will cling to him but I am surprised I haven't seen anything about it in the attack ads I've seen.

Its because they were under investigation for an actual corrupt and bad actor that lied his way into his position. Gillum had nothing to do with any of the grift that’s being investigated and has cut ties with the people who caused it.

Further, this was an FBI undercover investigation which has all of the similar hallmarks of their convince someone they need to bomb something then arrest them type investigation except with white collar corruption.
