If he said monkeys not sure that’s a good choice of words when 2/3 of the people nominated yesterday were black. Knowing what the word has become for racists, probably best not to use it to describe other humans in general. Just saying…

Do you have a source? You’re arguing against what’s on a government website. I remember 2011 very well. If we don’t pay the interest on our bonds that’s a default. While that interest has priority, the Treasury needs to print money to do that.

Well...there's only 2 Republican House members left who voted to impeach Trump.

It is and it's part of Congress' duty to authorize it. Just like it's left up to them to transition the presidency as was done on January 6th.

I don't like. I think there should be uniformity where the person pays the same amount no matter who gets killed. The punishment should not be up to the randomness of the victim's circumstances.

Congress needs to authorize to pay it. You're right in that we could just print $31T overnight and pay it off. Of course the world would hate us, inflation would skyrocket even further, and we would lose our status as the reserve currency.

Dude is a complete token in response to the Democrats nominating Jeffries. That much is obvious.

In the meantime the government will shut down and we will default on our debt. Plus, what happens if something urgent like a 9/11 actually happens?

Just got my flu & 2nd Covid booster shot. Going on a trip soon so if the plane crashes you'll all know it was really the vaccines that killed me.

What is the point of nominating the same 3 over and over again? Even though I think it's a shit job I'll throw my hat in the ring for the benefit of the country. I could use a little political experience before getting elected to the big job in 2024. We all know people in Congress like to trade...

I'm not convinced any can. I have trouble seeing 15/20 Anti-McCarthy Republicans willing to go to Scalise or Stefanik.

Kevin McCarthy smirking the whole time during her speech says it all. He clearly has no respect for them. Not that I respect Boebert either, but how can he expect to get their votes?

As much as I'd enjoy this going on for two years, they're going to have to do stuff like fund the government at some point.

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/rare-gene-mutation-some-black-americans-may-allow-earlier-screening-heart-failure From the government. This is a genetic mutation linked to heart failure that is much more commonly found in people of African descent.

Not so sure about that. There's genetic differences: https://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/heart-failure/news/20050606/enlarged-hearts-more-common-in-blacks

If they wanted a black person not sure why they didn't go with Herschel Walker. Doesn't need to be in the House.

Chip Roy's speech for Donalds was pretty good. We'll see if he does better than Jordan.

This is such a shitshow.
