I’m really pissed at their new gimmick of trying to make people spend all kinds of money on adapters. My wife got a new laptop from her work and it doesn’t even have a USB port. Beyond spending the money it’s a huge pain in the ***.

Well, yes, they are another monopoly we've allowed to flourish that has banked trillions of dollars while the average worker stood there and took the broomstick up the backside.

The thrill is gone.

But back home, her refusal to support a number of Democratic priorities -- from getting rid of the filibuster to raising the minimum wage to $15-an-hour -- has created deep distrust with her party's base and even spurred groups like LUCHA to look for alternatives to run against her in the Democratic primary when she is up for reelection in 2024."We are prepared to support a viable candidate that is ready to actually stand for our communities," Gomez said.

When asked if challenging Sinema was worth the risk of losing the seat to a Republican, Gomez didn't flinch.

"We already have a Republican in that seat," she said.

They aren't a monopoly...

They are however a fucking POS corporation that pays slave wages and charges exorbitant prices for mediocre tech. They also aren't exactly shy about supporting traitors and liars...
 
Well DUH. Set fire to all this crap and just ram stuff through

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell signaled Monday that Republicans, if they win back control of the chamber, wouldn't advance a Supreme Court nominee if a vacancy occurred in 2024, the year of the next presidential election.”

It is staggering how much you are able to do in Congress when governing is not the goal.
 
21 house Rs voted against medals for capital police officers.

blue lives matter?
All lives matter?

He literally did just that in 2016. Why is this news?
 
Apparently McCarthy is telling Pelosi to strip Omar of her House Foreign Affairs committee assignment, or he’ll do it if (once, in my opinion) Republicans retake the chamber come January. Not that Omar has done anything remotely similar to MTG, but I remember this is one of those few times I agreed with SJHovey on something: stripping MTG of her committee assignments was a stupid idea. And no, I don’t think McCarthy would have stripped Omar anyways, had we not struck first. Strike first on the important sh-t. Anyways, since Pelosi won’t do anything of the sort, it’ll be interesting to see if Kevin and Pals act on the threat.
 
If they win back the House Omar being taken off of committees is the least of our worries so I guess I just don't agree. The Dems can't make their decisions based on fear of what the GOP will do in retaliation...otherwise what is the friggin point? Everything the Dems do the GOP will counter no matter what it is so either sack up or quit. If you can't throw someone off the committees she was on for the things she did then you can't throw them off for anything.

The Neville Chamberlain approach already failed once with the Nazis (literally) and too many people, many in power, have no problems purposefully making the same mistakes. Either the rules matter or they don't. Either actions matter or they don't. Either you stand for something or you don't. If the Dems only worry about what the GOP will do in response to everything they say and do they already lost and the country is doomed.

Do you think McConnell spent all those years as Majority Leader worried about what the Dems would do when they gained back the Senate in response to everything he pulled? Of course not...part of that is because he knows the Dems don't have the stones to ever do what is needed but the other part is he does what he wants to do screw the consequences. Hell he knows just threatening things now will scare enough of them away to pass what needs passing.

I would rather go down swinging. Pussyfooting around so as not to upset the delicate nature of fuckwits like Kevin McCarthy is a recipe for disaster. The Dems should tell him to get bent and to worry about his own people. Show a spine for once in your fucking existence. That is their only chance to save the House anyways.
