The signees claim their reneg of duty and oath of office won't affect national security, but at least one I'd the signors has already done a lot of that.

[pipistrelle]

It's not like those 10 have ever done anything.

[Ben-Prime]

It's hard to see how a do-nothing Congress can do even less. And how is "We're doing nothing!" a winning whining election strategy?

FTFY and answered the question in the process.

It's the sign up list for the VEEP sweepstakes.

As will never be said on a news broadcast, "10% of 100 people agree."

[Chilidog]

Note that even Ted Cruze, Miss Lindsey and Rando Paul are not part of that.

Nor Tom Cotton? I thought doing end-runs around Democratic presidents was his specialty.

Deadline White House right now reporting the Speaker Johnson has appointed Scott Perry & Ronny Jackson to the House Intel Committee. Access to all that sensitive intel info.

I thought this was interesting, especially with Steve Vladek's tweet -

Tim O'Brien
@TimOBrien

Conservatives want a floor vote on a bill that would allow current or former presidents to move any state case brought against them — such as the one in New York that resulted in Trump's conviction — to federal court.

And Steve Vladek's reaction to that bill -

@steve_vladeck

I literally used this as a hypothetical on my Federal Courts exam last year—to test all of the ways in which such a bill would be unconstitutional.

[Slim Cognito]

Whaaaaaa??????

[Rolodex]

A bill that allows presidents - and presidents only...and only Trump tbh to move states cases to federal system. All his co-conspirators in GA are left out in the cold. Oh well.

Eff this tool.

Fox host: You just voted against a woman’s right to contraception

Trump VP contender Tim Scott: Yes, I did

Fox host: Why?

Scott: It’s a shame that Democrats are trying to politicize this issue

Eff this tool too. Also. (Byron Donalds)
They just make shit up.

Phillip: I'm going to interrupt you on the facts. Congressmen, the Black unemployment rate was the lowest in American history under Joe Biden. The poverty rate for Black people is the lowest under Joe Biden.

[Suranis]

Ya, its been dropping for Decades. Which is why Turnip nasal whined that it was the lowest in his Fredidency, ignoring the fact that it was the lowest in his predecessor as well.

Not that the Media will do it's just and point out that the Sky is blue when Republicans say it's green.

[raison de arizona]

Former GOP Rep. Ken Buck: “I left because I couldn’t tell the lie. The 2020 election wasn’t stolen. The Jan. 6 defendants aren’t political prisoners...There’s a lot of life out there besides arguing about nothing and telling lies. I made a choice to go enjoy what I’ve got left.”

Donalds is having a bad day in his tfg ass kissing wannabe VP rounds. Maybe he should stop making shit up. Just sayin'

Reid: You on your own brought up Jim Crow. In fact, you said Jim Crow three times for emphasis. It wasn't the media or the Democrats or gaslighters who brought up Jim Crow. It was you.

And as long as we are dunking on Donalds, here's a detailed refutation of his comments regarding Jim Crow. It's well worth your four minutes to listen.

► Show Spoiler

Black Republican Byron Donalds says he was misquoted about Jim Crow, but even using his own words, he still gets it wrong and promotes a dangerous conservative nostalgia that ignores the history of how state-sanctioned racial segregation destroyed Black families.

We live in Bizarro-Land.

GOP Rep. Troy Nehls, a staunch Trump supporter, told us in response to this: “Paul Ryan you’re a piece of garbage. You’re a piece of garbage and we should kick you out of the party. … Don’t go spouting your mouth off and saying that you’re a conservative. You’re spitting in the face of the leader of our party. I mean grow up a little bit.”

Ryan: You swear an oath to the Constitution and if you’re willing to suborn it to yourself, I think that makes you unfit for office

[Kendra]

CNN played a clip of Nehls commenting on Paul Ryan earlier this morning. That's some potent

ALL 49 Senate Republicans sign statement in support of IVF, the following day they blocked IVF protections from moving forward.
