I guess the actual metrics of the November push back from Joe Public got misinterpreted, the hold my beer frat boys hellbent on unravelling democracy appear hellbent upon doing just that, despite the clear pusback.
Pootie will be pleased.
I must say the elk have been mighty quiet.

On the Sunday shows, we heard the Republican platform. Investigate Joe Biden, and force the country to steep spending cuts by refusing to raise the debt ceiling. A vote on term limits, and a vote on the BB.
That’s it folks. Might as well have LB run Intel.

The USA is trending towards being a developing nation...... corrupt politicians and judges, large and growing income inequality, dysfunctional government, out-of-control spending, highly polarized political parties, inequality before the law, inequality in taxation, limited social programs....
These are the hallmarks of a developing country.

They may not be able to get the rules passed!
Washington — GOP Rep. Nancy Mace said Sunday she is "on the fence" about supporting a rules package that will govern the way the House operates under Republican control, citing the backroom-deal making that occurred with the group of conservatives who initially opposed new Speaker Kevin McCarthy's bid for the gavel.
"I like the rules package. It is the most open, fair, and fiscally conservative package we've had in 30 years. I support it, but what I don't support is a small number of people trying to get a deal done or deals done for themselves in private, in secret, to get a vote or vote present. I don't support that," Mace told "Face the Nation." "That is just what Nancy Pelosi does. And that's not what they should be doing. And so I am on the fence right now about the rules package vote tomorrow for that reason."
Republicans control 222 seats in the House for the 118th Congress, a narrow margin that allows only up to four defections in order for legislation to pass without Democratic support. GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas reiterated in an interview with "Face the Nation" on Sunday that he plans to oppose the rules package when it comes up for a vote Monday, leaving McCarthy and his leadership team with little room for error in order for it to pass, particularly if Mace also ends up voting against it.

I can't see it. Sometimes Canada feels like a third world country; about 1/4 of the videos posted here look like this.

Sustainable Development Report 2022
The Sustainable Development Report 2022 tracks the performance of all 193 UN Member States on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
What do you call a country where nearly one in 10 adults have medical debts and a broken bone can boot you into bankruptcy? A country where a city of more than 160,000 residents recently had no safe drinking water for weeks? A country where life expectancy has dropped for the second year in a row and poor people sell their blood plasma in order to make ends meet? A country where the maternal mortality rate of black women in the capital is nearly twice as high as for women in Syria?
You call it one of the richest countries in the world.
The US is “becoming a ‘developing country’,” one political historian said last week, based on this index.
Essentially, the analysis concluded, income inequality in the US and UK is so enormous that the
two nations should be classed as poor countries with some very rich people.
