Moments before, when House Republicans thought they had eked out the impeachment vote -- despite the defiance of three of their members -- Democratic Rep. Al Green, of Texas rolled in to the chamber in a wheelchair in hospital scrubs.

During the Mayorkas drama, Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, filed a motion to reconsider immediately after the vote failed, allowing it to be taken up again. It is likely to be scheduled when Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who is receiving cancer treatment, is able to attend.

So it’s basically a battle of who can get out of hospital the fastest? What a functional democracy.

It's a gerontocracy . That's what you get when you keep electing old fucks over and over again.

Nice. I visited 2 Mexican breweries last week. Not bad. Really nice guys at the 2nd spot. One guy was a Boston Celtics fan... that added to the fun.

"The Columbus Police Department was conducting a welfare check on a subject following a report of potential self-harm," Nebraska State Patrol said in a press release.

"We made sure that the subject did not chicken out of his threat."

They went heavy on the serve part and totally gave zero protect part.

Raichik, the founder of the Libs of TikTok social media brand, has become an internet celebrity among some conservatives for her willingness to criticize teachers, doctors and other professionals who are LGBTQ or who are accepting of LGBTQ people. Raichik often posts their names and photographs alongside accusations of wrongdoing to X, where she has 2.8 million followers.

Funny how "conservatives" always turn out to be violent, devil-worshipping monsters.

It’s impressive that they managed to shoot themselves in both feet.

Stunning? Really? Who expected this to go well?

snooggums ,

I am completely surprised that any GOP congress critters broke from the party line and voted against impeachment for reasonable reasons like a lack of any reason to impeach.

flipht ,

The stunning part is that they let it go to a vote without having whipped the necessary numbers.

They could have drawn it out with hearings, but they thought they had it in the bag and that their whole caucus was bought into the BS narrative they're trying to to drive leading into this election year.

Good. We need to wean ourselves off of cheap Chinese manufacturing which empowers the anti-democratic CCP.

Trump, who handpicked McDaniel to run the party in 2016, has done nothing to quiet rumors of McDaniel’s potential demise in recent days.

And nothing of value was lost, not even the pale glimmer of relief that comes from a GOP that merely tolerates being racist idiots' preferred party.

"The Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace. This Russian activity in the Alaska ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat," the statement said.

Why is this news then?

Clickbait.

Yeah, it's a game Russia likes to play. They send planes near the US, the US gives them an escort away.

Are they scrambling to help, though? Because it doesn't feel like they are.

Helping companies suck even more money out of renters.
