It is about narrative. Practically it allows an honorable retreat for Jordan. His image does not allow him to just cave and allow a moderate Republican to hold the position he has so lusted. Instead he endorses an interim solution for the status quo while holding out a return to a vote for himself. But what he is really doing is buying time before conceding, thereby hanging on to what he thinks of as honor and constructing a narrative where he somehow can paint himself as not a loser. If he learned anything at the knee of Donald Trump, it is that he can never just concede. There must be theater and claims of victory in defeat. Donald Trump and his proxies have performed poorly in elections, but his backers buy what he is selling. Not ideal, but we get the more moderate option as Speaker, which is what we need.

I have my doubts about how credible a witness she can/will be. Do not underestimate her ability to whack-a-doodle her way into being useless to the prosecution.

Why is it a horrible idea?

"at this time"

I am willing to so stipulate. Add it to the list of reasons to be impressed by Shane Griffith.

The challenges keep mounting for Trump: https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/sidney-powell-plea-deal-guilty-georgia-election-interference-trial-trump The attorney also agreed to testify against the co-defendants and to avoid any contact with the 17 others who remain as part of the indictment. She will also provide all documents requested to the Fulton County District Attorney. She will also need to write an apology The acceptance of a plea deal is a remarkable about-face for a lawyer who, perhaps more than anyone else, strenuously pushed baseless conspiracy theories about a stolen election in the face of extensive evidence to the contrary. If prosecutors compel her to testify, she could provide insight on a news conference she participated in on behalf of Trump and his campaign shortly after the election and on a White House meeting she attended in mid-December of that year during which strategies and theories to influence the outcome of the election were discussed.

Can we pause a moment to acknowledge how impressive an achievement this is? I would say this is more impressive than his wrestling achievements. And that is not meant to diminish his wrestling achievements in any way.

I think the strategy was to attempt to publicly shame, but that clearly did not work. It seems to actually be having the opposite effect as at least one who voted for Jordan in the first two rounds now says he will vote for McHenry. There are enough reports of attempts at intimidation that Jordan had to issue a statement about it.

Just read that the next round of votes will not begin until this afternoon at the earliest. I guess that means I will have to do some work in the meantime.

How long did you stretch that shoulder before patting yourself on the back? If you're not careful, this is how injuries happen.

Directly correlated to the number of times the facts change.

Love it. I forgot about Cliff Diving from Acapulco.

Oh, I agree, but like I said, ya gotta do the right thing.

They used to show it on WW of S when I was little. Had a chance to go to Ireland as an adult for family vaca and the ONLY thing I wanted was to see hurling at Croke Park. Of course, it was the off season.

While I wasn't really looking for a homework assignment, I kinda knew we would wind up here: The president said the humanitarian aid would be delivered via U.N. agencies and international NGOs, and he warned Hamas not to commandeer the supplies, a common occurrence in Gaza. Supplies typically refer to food, water, and medicine. Not dollars. Of course there is massive risk of the supplies being stolen, but you can't let that stop you from doing the right thing. And none of this happens without Egypt and Israel's participation given their absolute and complete control over access to Gaza and the West Bank.

Fantastic idea. Bring on the hurling too.

That is just false.

Sounds hard: Classical breeding relies largely on homologous recombination between chromosomes to generate genetic diversity. The classical plant breeder may also make use of a number of in vitro techniques such as protoplast fusion, embryo rescue or mutagenesis (see below) to generate diversity and produce hybrid plants that would not exist in nature.

Why do the monkeys always get it after tons of attempts? If it is random why not on the first attempt? I think it is time to acquire some monkeys and some typewriters. I worry that it may be harder to get the typewriters.

Indeed. Very niche. But that is how it starts. Define a single problem to solve. Fail a whole bunch of times, before you finally succeed (if you succeed). Take what you learn there and apply to another problem. Do it with enough problems and you might have more generalized solutions, too.

Historically, I have been of the same view. Less action from the government costs me less money. The new dynamic now, though, is the silliness that is very serious of the debt limit and voting to fund the government. All it does is create unnecessary drama and cost tax payers money. It is all very Dwight Schrute Doomsday Device-y.

Congressional Republicans seem hell bent on demonstrating their inability to complete the most basic administrative functions of government, never mind competently doing the people's business. Will their teen-like addiction to drama cost them with voters? Is there and unintended consequence at the ballot box causing moderate voters to walk away from Republican candidates?
