I'm thinking Dr. Who is your only option at this point

although never realized Beggin' was a Frankie Valli song!

He conceded so fast I think he was relieved.

conspiracy theory/wishful thinking: with his loss, walker realized that associating with trump was toxic and decided to do everything he can to not look like trump in defeat.

Not really that unexpected, but just annoying

Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is leaving the Democratic Party and registering as an independent

As long as this mess up control of the committees and nominations then whatever… hopefully AZ Dems can find a solid candidate to put her out of a job

As I said:

Not enough people are talking about Ben Sasse seeing the writing on the wall and giving up a Senate seat in one the reddest of red states to become the President of a University where he’s despised day one.

I know this isn't unexpected and I know their background
but it seems odd to have two defections from the dem party by women who are in the LGB*** and POC crowd
When that's a big stance of what the Dems envision of an inclusive America

it just gives fuel for the maga's on the stupid argument that 'droves are leaving the democratic party', which just isn't true (well except for the white blue collar worker)

irony much

man if the dems can get this passed in this lame duck congress…that would be fantastic

3 million US citizens live in PR, no joke on not getting representation

alas…there is really no way the GQP will give enough votes to get this to Biden's desk
although…if they wanted to get a leg up on getting that hispanic vote, this might be the way

little crusty, but got a holiday email from my 'boss' for when I am a poll worker on election day

this stat made me grin from ear to ear. 

Same-day registration has had an astonishing effect.  Sixty-nine percent of people registering same-day in Arlington were under the age of 35.

time to rename the thread??

WOW: Voting for the next Speaker of the House has concluded. 19 Republicans voted against Kevin McCarthy & Hakeem Jeffries has MORE votes for Speaker than Kevin McCarthy. In other words: Republicans in disarray. Democrats in array. Say it over and over again.

I just don’t buy they are in disarray. They have a small minority of extra wacky congressmen trying to impose their will….like 15-20 congressmen out of more than 200. Because it’s a tight majority they have sway. McCarthy is actually the less radical option. Fancy Gym Jordan!?

They will work it out.

Do you think they would give Steve Scalise a shot?

Maybe that will be the compromise. No idea.

And my Steve Scalise shot joke falls flat. Probably because y'all all had the jab.

Pretty bad schtick to start the year off with if I'm being honest.
