Listen girly. Politics is like war without the bullets, it isn't nice and it isn't pretty. You either fight politics like it's a war or end up with a real war on your hands. You pick. I am good either way.
BTW are you stalking me?

>> Some posters are peculiarly fond of lurid references.
That analogy for why NOT to become inured to abuse has been around for, like, forever. And it makes the point quite well. It’s not a “lurid reference” except to the lurid-minded.

“The internet isn’t the only way to get a message across.”
True, there is two way radio. But the masses are not on radio, they are on the internet and are too addicted to it to leave.
My current project is an underground P2P network that ditches the clear web and built on Geminispace.
Have you played with the small web yet? I’m liking Gemini, it is a better version of the Gopher protocol.

You need to pay attention to who is who.
Your sexual bigotry is on display for the world to see and laugh at

Politics is like war without the bullets, it isn't nice and it isn't pretty. Politics is ugly. Take the case of one of his good friends - he was his wingman. His
only crime was to be associated with Matt Gaetz.

Actually... there was a study done showing that not all that many get their news directly from the internet. Print media and TV are still ruling that roost.

Damn both parties all to hell.
Absolutely!! This is intolerable. I used to think there were Republicans who actually cared about representing their constituents. If there are any, they are hopelessly outnumbered.
I consider myself a conservative. No longer a republican. Damn them.

I don't know if this will pass the constitutional test. Why require a Speaker if the members can pass a resolution creating a half-Speaker?
If they "empower" McHenry, then that takes the pressure off of them to choose a Speaker. We don't need a Continuing Resolution Speaker, we need a Speaker of the House.
It's time for the Republicans to do their constitutional duty and choose one, and not waste energy trying to bypass the Constitution.
If you want a "temporary Speaker," vote for McHenry as the new Speaker and keep the rule for the motion to vacate. At least we will have a constitutionally-defined Speaker of the House.
