Actually the only thing I did was ignore spell check, period. Not to cause any reaction, just didn't feel like it was important.
I am just taking advantage of the unintended reactions to my faux pas and effing back at the people effing with me over this little molehill trying to turn it into a mountain.
Like I said, get a life.
Now I'll wait for the cute little gif that kcar should be adding to this chain ....
You're all so predictable.
Oh and pardon me for not including haresfur and his trolling for a deeper meaning into the picture I posted of Biden and Fetterman.
Golly Kurt, how can I resist your cordial invitation? Flibberty-floo!

I ignored spell check just for you ... :) . actually, I was expecting islander to gank me on this. Yes, I really did see it on spell check while composing and deliberately ignored the warning.
So you are trolling.
For grammar police.
get a life.

Of course no one would make Trump into Speaker, butâ¦how about Huntsman? Havenât heard his name in a while except for that stupid third party stuff.
Yeah, I'm waffling on this one. But I really don't want Jim Jordan as speaker. I don't see how there will be enough moderate republicans (if there are any left) willing to support a democratic candidate.
And as far as Nader goes, you really need rank-choice voting
I think that few people would want/respect Gym Jordan as Speaker - but a few die-/blow-hards will insist on voting âtheir conscienceâ so: hell yeah let him run! Split the vote and letâs put a grown up Dem in charge. Thatâll be much more interesting. But, of course, nothing will be gotten done to improve the nation, again. Thanks, knuckle-dragging GQP.
Reminds me of how folks told Nader that he was responsible for Gore losing, and he said that the fault really lies with those who voted for Bush, doesnât it? We could say âhey you Dems shouldâve voted for himâ but remember that McCarthy brought up impeachment against Biden for no good reason, amongst all the other lousy things heâs responsible for. He doesnât deserve his position and there are a lot of folks who didnât/donât want him there.
Now, the proper game plan is to split the GOP votes for Speaker, and have a unified Dem candidate, and have them take advantage of the GOP chaos.

This is about the House of Representatives, not the Senate.
I guess that they quit teaching Civics in your high school by the time you went through.
And thus continues your streak of being painfully disingenuous. Here, watch this:
Oops, I made a mistake. Not 'sorry if you were offended', or 'that's not what I meant'. I made a mistake. It happens. I'm over it now, hope you can manage.
Also, the underlying points of it's not the Democrats problem to solve, and there are many reasonable solutions available, are clear (to anyone not wanting to argue minutia and waste time), and they still stand.
Easier to work with him? He broke many promises / commitments he had made to Democrats already, why would they trust him more going forward? Also, let's check the list: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/01/07/us/elections/electoral-college-biden-objectors.html , yep he's there. He voted to overturn an election. He has no place running a government he doesn't respect. Honestly, it's about time the Democrats don't step in and save the Republicans from their own mess because 'it's the right thing'... They voted for Jeffries, why isn't the conversation about why zero Republican senators didn't break ranks and vote for the adult on the ballot. I think there are 10 or so Republican senators who are in districts that voted for Biden, who are they representing?
This is about the House of Representatives, not the Senate.

I think that the Democrats should have voted for McCarthy as speaker. First, if the idea is that the government should first and foremost govern, then that is the best path forward. The upheaval and delays play into the hands of the right-wing. Second, it is the only chance of getting Ukraine aid passed and McCarthy would owe them one. Third, Gaetz would have bust an artery.

âIf you want to know what it looks like when democracy is in trouble, this is what it looks like,â said Daniel Ziblatt, professor of government at Harvard University. âIt should set off alarm bells that something is not right.â
Certainly not at all to cast aspersions on you or the professor, but I'm not sure if we're looking at this the same way. It doesn't take a professor to know that our "democracy" has been boring a hole in this direction for a pretty long time. We now have a diseased divisiveness rooted, cultivated, and spreading like the red weed in War of the Worlds. It can be overcome, but not without a true calling in the hearts of every man woman and child. The golden rule still applies, though the twisted interpretations of it seem to be in control of the umbrella or veil of negativity and fear. Everyone wants a narrative to follow so mass communication provides one. Outside of ideological viewpoints and in some cases, axes to grind, it may be best to apply that heart thing with courage and the determination to not have personal awareness and operative measures be a product of frowning sticks and stones in the guise of indisputable information proliferated as fact or professional opinion, and fitted for public consumption through target audiences and both definitive and broader culture. Thinking for oneself becomes predicated on material elements rather than demonstrative positive evolution. This is man. This is the world of men. Specifically, this is us as citizens of the United States of America. What an ironic name for our country at this point in it's evolution of the great experiment.
The bible states in Proverbs 16: 18-20 "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud." We seem to be driven to rightness in the name of justice, power for the sake of controlling authority.
The fact is, referring to my initial pose, that we have been feeding the same monster that consumes us for a long time, and now we have the undisciplined technology and determination to see it through. It is a reckoning, purely and simply. The noise is coming through in waves. Lips are moving but no one hears what they're saying...
I encourage everyone to approach the coming days, weeks, and months with authenticity in thoughts, attitude and preoccupation. Sure. This is all my opinion. That's my point. Ride the wave. Catch the wind. Whatever. It's change, and it's here. Do well to do well. God will be with us, whether we want it or not.
