Gotta admit, I did not have 'agreeing with Dan Crenshaw' on my bingo card for this week. https://t.co/DPZxbb4oP8

Hmmmm what did Dan Crenshaw do exactly? Accidentally admit the election wasn’t stolen from Trump? Not hate Big Bird enough? Stay in Texas and not flee to Cancun when Texas had a winter storm? https://t.co/qkC0cDCp6r

Dan Crenshaw, the same person who used this flyer for one of his events, is calling members of the Freedom Caucus like MTG, Boebert, Gosar, etc. “performance artists” as if he isn’t 100% part of the production. pic.twitter.com/67ocgiOaMm

Dan Crenshaw criticizing other House members for being "performance artists" is a little too perfect. pic.twitter.com/O2VMXIijio

People in Texas who voted for Dan Crenshaw thought they were getting another Ted Cruz, turns out it was another John McCain.

The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells Ryan Grim life in Congress ‘completely transformed’ after Democratic leader stepped down
"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

This is a Democratic era, with Democratic leaders. GOP is largely on the defense and will stay that way.
by Orion on Wed, 12/08/2021 - 3:38am
Too simplistic - GOP has great enthusiasm among its true believers, a lock-step response that Democrats can never imitate. Many signs point to Democratic disaster in 2022 - if you see your funeral in the headlights, hard to call it your "era", or that the hyenas in the road are "on the defensive". Margins are too close in Congress and in the electoral college, while the GOP has packed too many courts plus controls most of the state governorships & legislatures.
Not exactly time for complaisance and self-congratulation. Behavior that used to warrant banishment from politics is now applauded by partisans. Pretty scary.

Cool, (17yr) Girls Gone Wild parties in Congress. Revamp that Intern program.

maybe Marjorie will handle the underage Chippendale participants)
What will be the inhalant of choice?
BTW, do we still condemn that "wide stance" Congressman, who it always seemed to me wasn't really bothering anyone who didn't want to be bothered (yeah, it was public toilets, but anyone who'd take such a come-on from the side stall is decidedly into a pickup). I mean, Congressdude wasn't even using federal funds or political donations, not even date rape drugs, just working the bathrooms the old fashioned (pre-Stonewall) way.
