Nobody Cares: PRS

Johnson failed to receive enough votes to be speaker of the house on the first ballot.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

Just waiting to see if those who have not voted during the roll call will cast votes. They could throw the speaker's race to Jeffries if they are counted Present.

eta: Looks like they were just waiting for drama, but are voting Johnson. Unless anyone changes a vote there is still no speaker.
etaa: They are holding the vote open I assume to pressure the R's who did not vote for Johnson.

Fekking idiots even changed the name of Ft Polk.

Well, he was a treasonous bastard who fought against the United States.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

Johnson won on the first ballot because the vote was held open until he could buy off the holdouts. We will find out soon what it cost us.

Prime minister Justin Trudeau just stepped down today as leader of the ruling Liberal Party. Trudeau also declared that he will step down as Prime Minister of Canada after his successor as party leader is being elected.

His reasoning for stepping back is: "This country deserves a real choice in the next election, and it has become clear to me that if I’m having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election."

He is a shit. If he washed his hands, he'd disappear.

Some troll posted on reddit a photo from another angle showing that he's holding a cane in his right hand, trying to make it look like Harris was being insensitive. He could have used his left, he could have made eye contact, he had options. There was nothing ambiguous about his behavior.

The troll quickly deleted the post when it failed to get the reaction they wanted. /lol

According to a statement released late Saturday by the Taliban government spokesman, new buildings should not have windows through which it is possible to see "the courtyard, kitchen, neighbour's well and other places usually used by women".

Jean-Marie Le Pen, the French far right leader, died today. If you wonder how many French people feel about that, these are the scenes of celebration on the streets of Paris this evening. One sign reads “The dirty racist is dead”. (🎥 Luc Auffret)

Somebody created a pro Pakistan fake think tank in Washington, D.C., devoid of any staff on a tight budget probably using ChatGPT and stock fotos only.

Interesting read.
