Preparing myself for the inevitable take about how they should have played on and players today are too sensitive or something.

It's already happened hasn't it?

I don't think that particular take happened, but Skip Bayless was tweeting last night that the NFL had to continue the game because it isn't logistically possible to reschedule it while dozens of players told him to shut the gently caress up.

The lovely tweets that are happening are from the usual suspects blaming this on covid vaccines.

OK most of the dumb poo poo going on here I can track because, unfortunately, right wing propaganda is really god drat good at forcing itself into public discussion.

What the crap is going on with Dogbert? He's in a box with flies around him or something?

According to right wing conspiracies, Fauci had dogs tortured with their heads in boxes full of biting flies for research.

I saw an article this morning that said the 4-6 vote "deficit" McCarthy needed to overcome was really looking like a 20+ vote "deficit".

There are currently 19 republicans that have voted against him with a good bit left to go.

I haven't really been keeping up with house leader elections. Is this just another case of Republicans stepping on their own dicks again trying to decide the most evil course of action or...?

Matt Gaetz is anti-McCarthy. He has a list of demands for the speaker which McCarthy refuses to do and more than enough support to destroy the four vote republican majority.

Unless republicans can convince 16 of 20 people who voted out of party line to vote with them, they cannot appoint a speaker.

e: I'll also note that Gaetz has said he and his people are willing to drag this out long enough that the house agrees to a plurality speaker in Hakeem Jeffries who is the current minority leader.

What happens when this vote fails? Do they just repeat until someone gives in? Propose someone else?
What is the best case, worst case, and funnest case outcome?

The votes will continue until the majority of members (218) agree to something. In 1855 they had 134 votes over two months before they agreed to a plurality speaker. Gaetz has indicated he's fine with that if the republicans won't back him and the rest of the freedom caucus.

If Donalds gets fewer than 20 votes, the main GOP is stripping away some of the Gaetz coalition. If he gets more, the anti-McCarthy group is growing.

Revision:

https://twitter.com/LisaMirandoCNN/status/1610701908167258112

Present votes only count towards the quorum, and not the majority threshold or the yeas/nays, so if enough republicans vote present, Jeffries wins :v:

She did it in dramatic and noticeable fashion. She skipped the first passage of her vote so that she'd have to vote on the second call. She was the only person on the second list and yelled it loudly. Since she's a new dissenting vote it could be a sign of a floodgate of people turning on McCarthy.

Jeez, Squidbillies was still going strong until last year? 13 seasons? I thought it was a much shorter-lived series

They shitcanned Stuart Baker after he went on an anti-Dolly Parton rant in 2020 when she showed support for BLM. They were already working on the final season and plugged in Tracy Morgan, and it's loving perfect. Worth a watch. The yoga episode in particular still makes me laugh.

and the best is that McCarthy is giving up poo poo that more or less leads to a vote to kick himself out at any time

Essentially the only time the house has ever been this dysfunctional was in the decade leading up to the civil war.

Yeah what's the story here? One of the things Atlanta actually has going for it is its greenspaces so I assume the jackals of the earth want to tear it down to make ??? bullshit

Long story short - cops are trying to bulldoze 45 acres or something like that of forest to build a massive training facility. $60m (more than 2/3) of the funds to build it come from anonymous sources the police refuse to disclose. The training grounds will include a blackhawk landing area and an entire mock city so georgia police can practice urban warfare. This is also trampling on native american land.

Protestors have been camping in the forest for eight months to stop construction. Cops have cut down trees with protestors in them and have used all sorts of non-lethal to try to clear them out. Last wednesday a fuckton from a bunch of state agencies and the fbi went in guns a blazing. An officer got shot (likely from friendly fire) and multiple cops mag dumped an activist from my city who had been up there. There were no body cameras.

Police made zero effort to contact Tort’s family and when their brother spoke with police, it quickly became clear they are investigating the dead man not the people who killed him.

Adult Swim has been getting on the ball about this kind of poo poo.

How long did Unknown Hinson have a job after he talked poo poo about Dolly and BLM?

Not long at all.

CommieGIR posted:

I won't be surprised if this kills the series like Squidbillies after Unknown Hinson got fired for insulting Dolly Parton.

They were working on the last season of the show when they fired him. Season 13 was the final season regardless of who voiced Early.

bulletsponge13 posted:

WTF did someone say about Saint Dolly?

In August 2020, Dolly put out some pro BLM statements, and the comedian responsible for Unknown Hinson and the voice of Early started ranting about her on twitter basically telling her to shut up and stay in her lane. People responded about like you would expect.

We got this wonderful audition video as an announcement of the replacement.
