Fun fact: there are no current members of the House of Representatives. So you have a ton of representative-elects, as the House is currently unorganized. Schrodinger's House of Representatives, over 100 years since this last happened.

So you have situations like this:

quote:

Ohio's House of Representatives started its new session with a surprise: Electing Republican Jason Stephens as its speaker.

Last month, state Rep. Derek Merrin, R-Monclova Twp., won the support of Republicans to lead the 135th General Assembly. The vote on Tuesday was supposed to be a formality.

But support for Merrin started to erode in recent days and it culminated in a 54-43 victory for Stephens. The Kitts Hill Republican won all 32 Democratic votes and 22 Republicans for a total of 54. Merrin had 43.

“There was clearly division on the other side, and they needed our votes,” House Minority Leader Allison Russo, D-Upper Arlington, said. “We took the opportunity to make sure that we were going to be working with a speaker who we felt like, at the end of the day, would work with us on the issues we could agree on.”

It could happen, in bizzaro world, if the house freedom caucus was so united in their desire to skullfuck McCarthy, but house freedom caucus are like... super super hardcore conservative mfs who would never think about working with anyone who doesn't have R next to their name.

I mean…. I can’t really call the freedumb caucus conservative. I was an old school conservative for a time, years ago. Today this equates to a left of center bog standard poo poo lib (I just want my married gay friends to be able to protect their legal marijuana plants with AR-15’s they got extensive background checks to buy and also their adopted kids and them receive free universal healthcare for when they’re in the next mass shooting or type 2 diabetes or whatever America as gently caress ailment you want) man I loving forgot where this was going after that parenthetical word vomit.

The freedumb caucus ain’t conservative, or the definition of conservative has shifted considerably since I last have a gently caress about politics (Pre escalator. I’ve been here mostly for the lols since escalator day, it’s a coping mechanism).

I hate admitting I was a McCain fan boy when he was running for the nomination against Bush. Because it’s like, yeah maybe I didn’t eat the entire poo poo sandwich, but I definitely had turd in between my teeth at the end of dinner.

Anyway gently caress me and gently caress the freedumb caucus harder.

quote:

Both men have past criminal records in Washington, according to court records, as well as prison records for Crahan.

Greenwood was convicted in 2018 of two counts of forgery and one count of taking a car without permission, Pierce County court records show. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to about four months in jail. Last year, he was charged in Kitsap County with car theft. He pleaded not guilty and the case is pending.

Crahan, in 2016, pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property after he admitted to helping burglarize a Gig Harbor home, Pierce County court records show. In 2014, he pleaded guilty to five counts of identity theft after admitting to possessing bank cards and other financial information of five people. Crahan served a total of 54 months in prison, according to Tobby Hatley, a spokesperson for the state Department of Corrections. In a 2014 DOC intake form, Crahan wrote that he had a severe alcohol and methamphetamine problem.

Crahan also had several previous convictions in Pierce County for theft and attempting to elude law enforcement, as well as a 2007 DUI conviction in Alaska, according to a criminal history filed as part of sentencing in his 2016 case.

They're only good as how well you seal the bag, and also how well the bag is manufactured. Drop dead simple test would be to put it in the bag, call it/text it, and see if it goes through. You could also wave around one of those EMF readers but I know nothing about how those work and if they actually do what they're designed for. Every 'EMF reader' I see on the first five results of google is aimed at people worried about how their WiFi is actually giving them cancer :ghost:

From my understanding, they work well as long as no one is actively looking for your phone. I suspect that something leaks out of the faraday bags that is traceable. I suppose that someone here knows for sure, but that would likely require divulging some rather spicy information.

I'm shocked that someone would actually bring their personal phone with them on a "mission" like this. If phones were needed, I would be using burners bought with cash.

Pretty sure you can’t buy a burner with cash or without some sort of record these days. Even if you bought some sort of shady device on the gray market, the feds would likely sweat the original owner and whoever they sold it to until they eventually worked their way down to the end user.
