The current congress can only be bound by rules made by the current congress. Otherwise an outgoing congress could completely deny the next congress the ability to do anything.

That’s true for the House, but not for the Senate, which is considered a continuing body, something that the Supreme Court has recognized in cases such as McGrain v. Daugherty and Eastland v. United States Servicemen’s Fund. For example, subpoenas in the House expire at the end of each session every two years, but subpoenas from Senate committees do not expire.

Unsurprisingly, one of the worst board games of all time.
We impulse bought the Home Alone 2 computer game for the boysat Xmas in 92(?). What a waste of $50. I think it was mostly side scrolling and jumping over garbage cans and throwing garbage lids to hit the bad guys.
The longest it took anyone to beat the entire game was half an hour. The Donald wasn’t in it but his stench was attached from being in the movie.
We got way more action out of downloading Commander Keen and earliest Duke Nukem off of bulletin boards.

That’s my entire video game experience in a nutshell. I hate video games.
Commander Keen was so good.

This Marjorie nincompoop is in no way abnormal for Republicans. She is not radical relative to the median Republican voter. She won a GOP primary because the people who voted agree with her. Even most people who follow politics very closely have still not internalized this.

The entirety of the senate is paralyzed to vote on anything besides funding the military. They can’t be attacked for a voting record that is invisible. (Well they can but that is a bit to heady for the typical voter)
Normally being an FBI informant as a leader of a group like that would put their life in serious danger, but I am sure it will just be cool.

In other Marjorie Taylor Greene news, she’ll be on the House Education and Labor Committee.
Also, though not related
plans to run for office in Michigan, to represent the state’s 46th District.
“Everyone that knows me knows that I’m not a dangerous individual and that I’m totally against violence,” she said, before adding: “What’s dangerous is somebody stealing the election.”

This makes my blood boil but is worth watching all the way through… the victimhood. Ugh.
I’ll X-post my modest proposal from the C-word thread: Add a site filter than replaces the C-word with “Marjorie Taylor Greene”.
