It's funny, in retrospect Romney and McCain too actually seem like very decent Republicans…maybe it would have been better if one of them had won their elections, that might have helped to steer the Republican Party in a different direction.
I saw a video today of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert heckling Biden' State of the Union address while he was in the middle of talking about his dead son. It doesn't even matter what you think about Biden, this behavior is simply atrocious.
So how many of those the anti-trans laws in Texas and Florida check-in?

I saw that too. Makes you want to choke them. Boebert especially in this case, veterans across the country are calling her out for her insulting a man who died in service to the country.
In response to those two dumbass bitches who interrupted the State of the Union, our two fabulous bitches (Nancy Pelosi and Jen Psaki) have some great words:

Today in "Donald Trump is a failure", it turns out his beautiful border wall has been sawed through THREE THOUSAND TIMES so far:
https://secondnexus.com/trump-border-wall-sawed-through?fbclid=IwAR1BWqcHwEHYgdp6WZK18vjAjDM1pyZYwuyJeJAFPugk_R45nrLy2gseQ_8Not much of a wall to begin with, but now it's really just a doggy door.
I mean even pre-trump many border walls WERE pretty much doggy doors.
I can't remember for the life of me whether it was a VICE video, a doc, or Jon Oliver, but someone years ago had a segment on a border town showing how locals had welded threw steel barriers and installed doors with hinges because their daily lives -and for some, entire family dynamics- involved crossing the border.
At the end of the day though, it doesn't matter. At all. For those that care about the actual legitimate concerns at the border, Trump didn't improve, or really hurt anything. For those that look at the border as a threat to America, it doesn't matter what Trump did or did not do.
Republicans last week were complaining about the border in the context of feds seizing a huge amount of fentanyl. Literally the police did their job, stopped bad guys from bringing bad drugs into the country, and the Republicans said "No, police stopping bad guys means things are bad. Why Biden let bad things be bad? If Biden good, why bad happen"
Trump could shoot every spanish speaker in Manhattan on 5th avenue and Republicans would turn to Taco Bell and say "see, they're STILL pushing their agenda"
https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2022/03/07/day-412/
1/ A bipartisan group of lawmakers reached a deal to ban the import of Russian energy and suspend normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus in response to the invasion of Ukraine. The bill also provides Biden with the authority to increase tariffs on both countries, and would require the U.S. trade representative to seek the suspension of Russia’s participation in the World Trade Organization, as well as try to halt Belarus’s attempt to join the global trade organization. It’s unclear, however, if Biden would sign the legislation if it reaches his desk. Over the weekend, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he “would support” a ban on Russian oil imports. The prospect of Russian energy sanctions sent oil prices to a 14-year high, with the average national gasoline price exceeding $4 a gallon. Putin, meanwhile, told a group of Aeroflot flight attendants that Western sanctions on Russia were “akin to a declaration of war.” (New York Times / NBC News / Washington Post / Politico)
2/ The Biden administration has discussed a possible deal to send Poland’s Soviet-era MiG fighter jets to Ukraine. In exchange, the U.S. would replace Poland’s planes with American-made F-16s. Ukraine’s government is interested in the old planes because the country’s military pilots already know how to fly them. Putin, however, warned that Moscow would view any Western attempts to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine as “participating in the armed conflict” against Russia. Separately, nearly all of the troops Russia amassed on Ukraine’s border are now fighting inside the country and the U.S. doesn’t believe that Russia is “preparing to move additional battalion tactical groups from elsewhere in the country to shore up what they’ve put into Ukraine.” Instead, Moscow is reportedly recruiting Syrians skilled in urban combat to fight in Ukraine. (New York Times / NBC News / Politico)
3/ After Trump described Putin as “smart,” “savvy,” and “a genius,” Pence said there was no room in the Republican Party for “apologists for Putin.” Trump, while insisting that the attack on Ukraine never would have happened on his watch, told the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend that “The problem is not that Putin is smart, which of course he’s smart, but the real problem is that our leaders are dumb. Dumb. So dumb.” Former Attorney General William Barr, meanwhile, suggested that he would vote for Trump in 2024 despite believing that Trump was “responsible in the broad sense of that word” for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. “I think the whole idea was to intimidate Congress. And I think that that was wrong,” Barr said, adding that he hasn’t seen evidence that Trump “was legally responsible for it in terms of incitement.” Trump, however, continued to repeat his false claims of election fraud, saying that Barr “wouldn’t know voter fraud if it was staring him in the face—and it was. The fact is, he was weak, ineffective, and totally scared of being impeached, which the Democrats were constantly threatening to do.” (CBS News / Washington Post / Politico / Axios / NBC News)
4/ The National Archives delivered Trump’s White House visitor logs to the Jan. 6 committee. Trump had tried to block the release of the logs, but Biden rejected the claim that they were subject to executive privilege “in light of the urgency” of the committee’s work and Congress’s “compelling need.” The archives also turned over Pence’s records. (Reuters / The Guardian)
5/ Researchers identified Covid-associated brain shrinkage equivalent to as much as a decade of normal aging, according to a study published in Nature. The study used before-and-after brain images of 785 British people and found that even a mild case of Covid-19 may cause greater loss of gray matter and tissue damage in the brain than naturally occurs in people who have not been infected with the virus. The death toll from Covid-19, meanwhile, eclipsed 6 million. (New York Times / Bloomberg / USA Today / Politico)
6/ Florida’s surgeon general recommends against vaccinating healthy children for Covid-19 despite the CDC recommending that everyone age 5 and older get vaccinated. Florida “is going to be the first state to officially recommend against the Covid-19 vaccines for healthy children,” Joseph Ladapo said, without elaborating on the details or rationale. Ladapo, who leads Florida’s Department of Health, made the announcement at the end of a roundtable discussion that Gov. Ron DeSantis convened to discuss “ending Covid theater once and for all.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki, meanwhile, said “It’s deeply disturbing that there are politicians peddling conspiracy theories out there and casting doubt on vaccination when it is our best tool against the virus and the best tool to prevent even teenagers from being hospitalized.” The CDC recommends that parents get their children vaccinated, saying: “Covid-19 can make children very sick and cause children to be hospitalized. In some situations, the complications from infection can lead to death.” (Bloomberg / Palm Beach Post / Tampa Bay Times / New York Times / Politico)
7/ The Amazon rainforest is nearing its “tipping point” and more than half of the rainforest could irreversibly turn into a savanna, according to a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change. Satellite images taken over the past several decades show that more than 75% of the rainforest is getting drier and taking longer to regenerate after a disturbance, such as droughts and wildfires. Losing the rainforest could result in up to 90 billion tons of carbon dioxide getting put back into the atmosphere – the equivalent of several years of global emissions – and researchers fear that this carbon release would put the world’s goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius out of reach. (Washington Post / New York Times)
poll/ 71% of Americans said they’d support a ban on Russian oil even if it meant higher gasoline prices in the U.S., including 82% of Democrats, 70% of independents, and 66% of Republicans. (Quinnipiac)

Oh hey they finally removed the massive anchor around its neck, now it'll start being profitable almost immediately after two decades of Republicans sabotaging it to try and kill it.
It's a win, and a good one, but it never should have been an issue in the first place.
That is the biggest thing now. You're in office, Biden. Kick his ass to the curb.
Biden doesn't have the authority. Postal service controls are done by a board that's currently a majority republica, loyal to Trump split.
But Biden did appoint two new guys and if/when they get confirmed THEN Dejoy can be voted out maybe.
Yeah, my understanding is positions like DeJoy's are hard to remove someone from by design precisely so that incoming Presidents can't just fire them and replace them with a crony.
Not content to go after blacks, Hispanics, Asians, immigrants , women, pregnant females, sports leagues, gays, trans, NB, unions, teachers, the postal service, social media outlets, doctors, police officers (doing their jobs),

You’ve had a good run daylights savings time causing people to lose sleep and forgetting to set their clocks ahead or forward
but it’s over
It better pass. They've been teasing us for years with this idea, but it's never gotten this far before. I can't imagine why anyone would be against it. Would be a massive boost for those of us who get winter depression.
We don't have it here in Arizona. :)
Fun fact: The US actually had a "trial run" of permanent DST back in the 70's, but obviously it didn't take. Here's hoping it will this time.
@Johnny:

For those who didn't know, Arizona opted out of Daylight Savings Time so it's just Standard Time except in a few places like the Navajo Nation. Alaska and Hawaii don't have DST either though.

A big sticking point was because of children walking to school before sunrise but there are considerably fewer children walking to school now than back then.
Yeah, nobody wants their kids walking to school because they're more in danger now. Whether from cars or psychos.
A 10 year old got snatched off the street in town when I was 2, and after that NOBODY let their kids out. All play dates were scheduled. (note: they found her bones in the forest around 11 years later)

of course, nearly all the pushback against ending DLS right now is from parents concerned about their kids going to wait at the bus stop in the dark
Maybe talk to your school board about adjusting the time of school starting, before adjusting TIME ITSELF
Maybe talk to your school board about adjusting the time of school starting, before adjusting TIME ITSELF
There are more things to consider than just sunrise/sunset times in deciding when school should start/stop. Parents also typically have to work, and this can have a huge influence on when they can be ready to drop off and pick up their children. Changing time itself has some merits.
