Do some on here realize that if someone don't reply to their foolishness, it is like playing ping pong by themselves. I honestly could care about their attempts to create an emotional response instead of debating the world issues in a somewhat responsible, respectful and realistic adult manner.
well dingle balls.........you can not debate anything as you have shown in the past you are already set in your mind how it is.....to debate anything you have to be open minded......and that you are not


could...MAYBE be some discussion here.......but facts are.....most people here are what they are and are not going to change.....so that brings it back to a pissing contest
 

GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy scrambles to contain fallout from leaked tape on Trump and Jan. 6​



WASHINGTON –House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy and his allies are scrambling to contain the damage wrought by new audio tapes in which he can be heard saying Trump should have resigned after the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021 – comments he denied making just hours before the release of the tapes.
 

Marjorie Taylor Greene grows hostile in testimony over re-election eligibility​



ATLANTA — U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was hostile during testimony Friday in a hearing on her eligibility to run for re-election, saying she did not remember liking and making various social media posts surrounding the attack on the U.S. Capitol last year and accusing an opposing lawyer of speculating and twisting her words.

Voters in the Georgia congresswoman’s district have said Ms. Greene helped facilitate the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection that disrupted certification of President Joe Biden’s victory, making her ineligible for re-election under a rarely cited section of the 14th Amendment dealing with “insurrection or rebellion.”

But Ms. Greene — who, the day before the Capitol riot, proclaimed on TV that this is “our 1776 moment” — testified that she has never endorsed violence.

Ms. Greene is set to appear on the Republican ballot for Georgia’s May 24 primary and has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The administrative law judge overseeing the hearing is not the ultimate decider of Ms. Greene’s candidacy since he must present his findings to Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who then must determine whether Ms. Greene is qualified.

Ms. Greene has repeatedly denied aiding or engaging in an insurrection and has filed a lawsuit alleging that the law the voters are using to challenge her eligibility is itself unconstitutional.

But Ron Fein, a lawyer for the voters who filed the challenge, said Ms. Greene took an oath and then broke it by engaging in an insurrection. While Ms. Greene wasn’t on the steps of the Capitol, she nevertheless played an important role in stoking Republican fury ahead of the attack, Fein said.

Unlike the Civil War and other insurrections that involved military uniforms and tactics, he said, “The leaders of this insurrection were among us, on Facebook, on Twitter, on corners of social media that would make your stomach hurt.”

Andrew Celli, a lawyer for the voters, cross-examined Ms. Greene about posts on her social media accounts. When asked about the fact that her Facebook account had, in 2019, “liked” a post calling for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to be shot in the head, Ms. Greene said she had no memory of doing that and said someone else could have been responsible.
 

‘Democracy in Florida is not functioning.’ Governor’s rigged maps rob Black voters of power​

The extraordinary moment served as a remarkable endpoint to a brazen attack by the Republican governor, Ron DeSantis.

Earlier this month, in an unprecedented move, Republicans in the legislature took the unusual step of allowing DeSantis to take the lead on drawing new congressional districts. The governor’s plan went out of its way to reduce from four to two the number of districts where Black candidates can elect the candidate of their choosing.
 

DeSantis Set Up to Lose in a Disney Lawsuit, Former Trump Attorney Says​


Aformer attorney for President Donald Trump told Newsweek that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be likely to lose in court if Disney files suit against him over the bill revoking the company's special status in Florida.

"I predict that Disney will sue and win," Jenna Ellis wrote on Friday, shortly after DeSantis signed a bill terminating the self-governing privileges that Walt Disney World has held since 1967.

The bill is the latest attack on Disney from Florida Republicans, who have slammed the company for wading into a political debate over a parental rights bill that critics argue hurts LGBTQ children and families.

DeSantis has moved quickly to respond to Disney's opposition to the Parental Rights in Education bill, also dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill.

The governor on Tuesday urged the state legislature to take up a measure stripping Disney of its special status during lawmaker's special session this week. By Thursday, DeSantis secured the votes needed from both chambers.

Up until now, the Walt Disney World Resort has been exempt from certain regulations and taxes and has been allowed to control construction on its 25,000-acre property, known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Reedy Creek also levies taxes on Disney to pay for the resort's own fire and medical response teams.

The dissolving of the district will require the two Florida counties that contain the sprawling resort to step in and provide services. This could lead to a potential double-digit tax increase for residents in Orange and Osceola counties.

thought i had posted a couple of articles on Mcarthy....see today he is trying to repair the fallout

Desantis seems to think he is King....took trumps playbook and expanded on it......I saw where 2 REPUBLICAN senators said to wait until things die down and the Disney thing will get handled.......right now Disney cutting jobs.....you know that is getting peoples attention....Desantis has big plans on running for pres....and a lot of trumptards like him.........but there are far more that don't like him.......even Florida republicans are kind of quiet on him
To be fair, I didn't read through all the back pages. I just think it is funny how the usual suspects are trying to ignore these things.
