GOP Insanity Containment 2: This is the Place. This is the Time, Cowboy.

Fucking goddamn fuck

I heard so much Faucci lied Pfizer admitted they lied about testing the vax they didn’t do any transmission testing all you hear about is young people dying of myocarditis gain of function lab leak hire back everyone who has been proven right to have rejected the jab from just some run of the mill derpy deplorables at Christmas who don’t even mainline Fox News that I’m pretty sure we are done vaccinating kids for anything.

so despite all this stuff coming out about Santos, he’s still like a 95%+ lock to actually be sworn in, right? What else would have to come out before he either voluntarily steps down or enough republicans turn on him that he could actually not be seated?

Dead girl or live boy. Probably.

I think McCarthy would try to weather that storm, he really really needs the votes. It would have to be a video of him campaigning for Biden, or even worse, Nancy

I’m still kinda unclear on exactly how the Speaker election works. Nothing, including swearing in reps, can happen until the Speaker is elected, but if it’s the incoming house that votes how are their votes legal if they’re not yet sworn in?

[Melkerson]

Here’s how it goes, apparently. So it looks like they vote for speaker before they are sworn in. It does seem a bit nonsensical. Seems like it would make more sense for the clerk to swear everyone in first, but this is the way it is.

The House follows a well-established first-day routine. The proceedings include—
 a call to order by the Clerk of the House;
 a prayer led by the Chaplain and the Pledge of Allegiance led by the Clerk;
 a quorum call ordered by the Clerk;
 the election of the Speaker, ordered by the Clerk and conducted with the
assistance of tellers;
 remarks by the Speaker-elect, followed by his or her swearing-in by the dean of
the House;
 the oath of office for the newly elected and re-elected Members, administered by
the Speaker;
 adoption of the rules of the House for the new Congress;
 adoption of various administrative resolutions and unanimous consent
agreements; and
 announcement of the Speaker’s policies on certain floor practices.

The precedent is that unsworn members can participate in organizational business at the start of a session.

The clerk of the House is empowered to run proceedings according to the House rules until the Speaker of the House is elected.

So, I guess the technical answer is that the incoming House can vote on the Speakership because the Clerk says they can.

When do kids get their first vaccine against measles in the US? 15 months here. Super fun to have a baby in anti-vaxx areas.

Less vaxing equals more cases

I’m pretty sure he’s already said he isn’t going anywhere, basically you can accept his if-pology or kick rocks.

More seems to come out like daily, too.

[TheNewT50]

For some reason I read that and my main reaction is “lol oh yeah there’s an ethics committee”

There are probably 50+ different answers because “muh States’ rights!” but the CDC recommends between 12 and 15 months.

[Danspartan]

For the rest of the week. Then it goes on hiatus for at least two years.

“This is the email channel to use,” Keefe wrote to Montgomerie on Aug. 26, as Vertol, a Destin, Florida-based aviation company, was preparing to bid for the state’s migrant flight program.

The email account was a private Gmail address that displayed Keefe’s name as “Clarice Starling,” the FBI trainee and heroine from the serial killer thriller The Silence of the Lambs. The Gmail address also included the phrase “Heat 19,” which Keefe said was a call sign given to him during his time in private practice by a former U.S. Air Force Special Operations commander. Four days after that initial message, Keefe sent Montgomerie eight paragraphs of language that the Vertol CEO would include almost verbatim in his official proposal for the migrant flight program.

The Florida Department of Transportation approved Vertol’s proposal soon after and the first flights happened a little more than a week later.

Oh we got him

[Soulman]

Must be fun to have a baby in anti-vaxx areas with measles outbreaks.

[Danspartan]

Unbelievable. So the guy that lied about everything was funded by Putin essentially.

Well yeah, OK Entirely believable. It’s almost as if MAGA is actually an FSB op.
