@mrbee I think that came from C-SPAN. Without anyone running things or setting the rules, they've had their cameras poking into every dusty corner and knot of whispering heads.

After 9 rounds, no wonder Republicans don't believe elections work.

We are essentially witnessing a domestic terrorist hostage situation unfolding in congress.
McCarthy will no doubt continue to sell whatever is left of his soul to the sedition caucus.
While amusing on some levels, also becoming increasingly dangerous for America.

Maybe McCarthy is just running the clock to claim squatter rights on Speaker's office.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to eliminate the confusion and let you know that this is actually me. πŸ˜‚ Hope you are having an awesome Thursday!

Stopped by Just Q’in for some BBQ and cobbler yesterday.

It's Thursday and as everyone is talking about Simon Pegg (thanks to his glorious takedown of the PM) here's a throwback to my poster for Shaun of the Dead 🏏 🧟

It's possible. I'm from one of the old families, that's been there forever.
Time for a change, says I.

@ScottSoCal We're probably related :-) My grand uncle lived there with his 2 wives and 100+ children and grandchildren.

Researching mines in northern Spain I came across this curious object. It's a canary cage designed to keep the canary alive in the event of a gas leak. If a miner saw the canary laying at the bottom of the cage it was time to abandon everything and leave the mine, but not without first closing the latched glass door and opening the valve of the oxygen bottle to save the bird. A miner would do that on their way out and take the bird with them. It's a signifier of the miner's legendary sense of solidarity, no lives lost to the mine on a miners watch. A solidarity that was also crucial in the fight for workers rights, creating safer and more humane working conditions, achievements of unionization and solidarity that some of us still enjoy today.

BTW, here's a little interesting fact. You may have noticed that cameras in the House the last few days are frequently focusing on groups of congresspersons and areas other than the front of the chamber. This is NOT typical. C-SPAN operates the cameras and feeds them out. Normally, House leadership controls where the cameras point, and that is virtually always to the front, avoiding any other areas or groups of persons in the chamber. But with the House leadership in limbo, C-SPAN has full control, and they're wisely making the most of it!

@aravosis
They took care of everything they could, before they adjourned. The budget will need to pass or the federal government will shut down, but that's a few months away.
