Yeah sorry, I was unclear. Included Kiley because I was wondering what the party breakdown is now.
IIRC, there's a GOP member who is reportedly terminal too.
But maybe he makes it to January.
So what is the actual count after these two resignations today, the GA special and that CA guy pretending to go 'I'?
Iran: We will blockade the straits of Hormuz if you attack us.
Donald: No, WE will blockade the straits of Hormuz unless you surrender to us.
Iran: Ok. That might save us some trouble tbh.
All of Trump's policies have been--to one degree or another--inflationary
War: inflationary
Deficit: inflationary
Tariffs: inflationary
Politicizing the Fed/loose money advocacy: inflationary
Immigration: inflationary
Cuts to renewables: inflationary
Corruption: inflationary
"Tell Dick Cheney we found thodse damn Iraq WND...."
Not the Choice of Tasters!
Serious question...can you name anyone who has ever won taking your approach and concentrating primarily on activating non-voters?
I've never heard of it being successful - on the right or the left - but I'm willing to learn if you have an actual example.
Most of us thought he was perfectly clear.
You misread it. It happens, but it's not his fault.
Turnout in that election was 44%.
National Presidential turnout is generally around 65%-ish
Highest in a century for NYC mayor, but still did not even come close to tapping into those people who ignore politics completely.
You don't think the answer to Gorsuch's Native American question killed it for him?
The crazy part? Even sitting in the room it's almost certain that Trump doesn't understand any of this.
At least 75% chance he comes out afterwards telling the press how he won, bigly.
It's his job.
Far from clear which party (if either) is advantaged here though....

Winston-Salem NC - we did Jamestown/Williamsburg one year and Biltmore Estates in Asheville another. And a Raleigh state capitol/museum trip
But- it being W-S- we also did the RJ Reynolds cigarette factory. And at the end they gave us packs of Winstons to take home to our parents. (Yes, I am old)
What's his beef with the Expos?
They had the coolest caps east of the Finley A's......
Except quickly escalating oil prices usually bring significant inflation which means *raising* rates.....
< shrug >
He also, of course, wrote a lot of REALLY BAD science fiction.
But he made up a religion from scratch - in public - and it's accepted as genuine by a surprising number of people.
Again, you wouldn't *expect* that level of record for say, a minor itinerant preacher or revolutionary........but it certainly disproves the idea than we can't be certain of anyone more than 1500 years ago.
Well I'm no expert, but there are Roman *and* Jewish (and later, Christian) accounts of, for example, Pontius Pilate thhat all largely agree with each other, right? And if I recall correctly even an archaeological record?
Cleopatra would be another
The place I ended up after years of pleasure reading on the topic was....
......the distinction between 'no historical person existed' and 'it was all based on (one or more) historical persons but NO biographical details can be taken as anything other than myth' is a meaningless distinction.
The lack of a record doesn't prove they didn't exist but you sure can't just say 'well bad news for anyone born more than 1500 years ago'.
Many, many such people are very well documented contemporaneously....

I have some real bad news for you about how universally people with no record are considered to be real. It varies but real doubt is almost always acknowleged EXCEPT for religious figures.
We have a multitude of historical records for many, many people 1500 years or more past

I read a bunch of these types of books back in the 90's....the G.A. Wells books were among the better ones.
Put it aside for 20+ years because I had an answer that worked for me. until just last month when I started reading this one - which I'm really enjoying:

I think you have that 180 degrees backwards.
I certainly think outside religion you'd have a hard time finding anyone with zero contemporary references and a gap of up to a century or more before the first tidbits of 'biographical detail' whose historicity would be taken as a given.
I think the 'all the earlier writings have (much) less biographical detail than the later writings' is strong evidence.
But also think the 'synoptic gospels borrow heavily from other religion/myth biographical narrative arcs' is too.
Well to be clear we DO have both the angel Moroni and L Ron Hubbard as examples
Dumbest sportswriter idea ever
That feeling when you see Spurs is trending and click through and........don't see a single post about Wemby.
