I will not hesitate to block you. If you voted MAGA or were eligible to vote and didn't, or wrote in, we don't have anything in common. You clearly didn't understand the assignment. I can't believe what you say because I see what you do. - James Baldwin

Right, Jan. Because holding the line to help Americans keep healthcare benefits is so very out of touch. I wonder who's lining their pockets to do that. Let me guess. It's AIPAC. No... wait, it will come to me. It's the billionaires. Nah. That's not right. 💡 It's the corporate overlords.

Wait...

They must be really enjoying the delightful political stylings emanating from the WH if that was top of mind. Maybe get better friends.

Of course you're right. They love nothing more than to rehash the same energy sucking, demoralizing nonsense talking points endlessly.

You're beyond naive if you believe the letters were written FOR him, genius.

You're not slick. That has nothing to do with whether onlookers weighing in expressed much horror about the initial attack on October 7, which is your claim. It didn't become a widespread conversation until bots started flooding social media with a disinformation campaign about Israel's response.

Back to the topic of the thread, Schleprock, thoughts on those texts?

Blue Jazz @jazzisblue.bsky.social · 3h

People like you are energy vampires who weigh everyone around you down with your incessant whining, sighing and moaning. Nothing is ever good, much less good enough.

The minority leaders have their hands full holding the line for American healthcare. Ask 🍊about VA. He's your guy.

Are they ever any other way? 😳

Airports are experiencing massive staffing shortages because of the Trump shutdown.

House Republicans remain on vacation.

Get back to work so we can reopen the government!

Why are they needed to endorse anyone in a mayor's race? The residents of NYC will decide.

But heaven forbid GrumbleKing should miss an opportunity to live up to his name. 🙃

Neither is the fact that the main folks cited in the texts have already started apologizing. You read the tea leaves. Regarding the AG, what, specifically, do you expect Schumer to do about it? It's not even his state.

I hope he does. You might want to acquaint yourself with why strongly worded letters have proven useful historically. But I could see how heckling from the balcony might be more fun and less work.

Hopefully, you're not the best of what's coming out of MIT. If so, education there should be free. Who said anything about surprised?

The only chuckle in this thread is you. Anything to say about the racists and antisemites that are the topic of his post? Or... you just going to pile on with something that has nothing to do with him?

And the ones who keep letting in the traitors in sheep's clothing and telling people to get rid of effective Dems.

Sickening. Revolting. Vile. This makes you want to throw up.

This is the kind of garbage that the worst kind of people say when they think nobody is watching.

And where are Republican leaders from Trump on down condemning these comments swiftly and unequivocally!?

I’m waiting to hear it.

A headline from POLITICO reads: "‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat"

Toby, this is my last response. Clearly, we won't agree. You're not the boss of anyone but you. Identifying ICE officers is not an illegal action. Refraining from identifying them will not help anyone or anything.

Good Night.

Nope.

"Once the House reconvenes, a majority of already sworn Members can pass a resolution overriding the Speaker’s refusal or assigning the oath to someone else.
They can also move to remove the Speaker (a motion to vacate) if his actions are seen as abuse of power."

Can the House Speaker refuse to swear in a duly elected member? (This matters right now.)

Can the House Speaker block a new member’s oath? Mike Johnson’s delay for Adelita Grijalva tests the limits of House power and democratic norms.

I know how the thread started. ICE personnel under this regime started off wearing masks. No matter what lie they tell, it's wrong. Should police officers be allowed to wear masks too, Toby? How about security guards?

You're delusional if you think protecting their identity is a winning hand.

Looks like discussions are in progress with Zoom meetings. Living in a virtual world has some benefits.

Jeffries talked redistricting with Illinois delegation

But some lawmakers are concerned about diluting Black representation.

They were doing it out of the gate. They didn't need justification. They are doing it to hide their actions and identities just like the Klan did.

What kind of twisted logic are you using? How is helping them remain anonymous advantageous?

Let me put a mask on. 😷 Bad logic might be contagious.
