By definition, witches are women. The male equivalent would be warlock. But somehow, “warlock hunt” just doesn’t roll off the tongue in quite the same way.
So now another speaker has to be elected. Will this be another 15-ring circus?
I had a wonderful vision during ring 14 of the last farce, when the freedum caucus was entering “present” votes. All 20 of them, not stopping to do the math, would vote present. This would lower the threshold to 208, but those votes would be lost to McCarthy. So he would score his usual 200, and Jeffries would score his usual 212. Game over.
You say Biden has dementia. He has repeatedly talked logical rings around the retrumpliqons, backed them into a verbal corner, and forced them to surrender the argument. So what does that say about them?
tRump said he was “skipping” the debates because everyone knows who he is. Another possibility is that the RNC excluded him because he refused to sign their pledge to support the nominee. But even if he did sign it, and then wasn’t nominated (unlikely, I know) does anyone seriously believe he would honour it? I think he would run as a third candidate under the flag of the tRump party, thereby splitting the vote.
Raises the question: which would be worse for him, losing all his money or going to jail?
