Heard on the GOP senators today, complain about Schumer. The Dems are dragging, maybe on purpose.

The Republicans have proposed creating two tiers of hearings. The A block is nominees with a very high chance of confirmation. The C block would be for the nominees with the most opposition. The B block would be all other nominees.

So far, no deal.

By the way, I hadn’t read the article but came across the money quote elsewhere. It’s worth a good laugh:

“If I was Lady McBiden, I’d put on my big girl pants, play the long game and think about my husband’s legacy,” Alexandra Pelosi, the former speaker’s daughter, told me Saturday. “There aren’t that many people left in America who have something nice to say about Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi is one of them.” The younger Pelosi made clear she was speaking only for herself.

@AndyD said in Saved by God to Make America Great Again!:

Wow, the prophet has spoken and everything is now or will soon be, simply wonderful.

Thankfully no rioting this time.

It wouldn’t matter. All those people who rioted and burned cars eight years ago had their charges dropped.

There’s a few zombies in there. And a duck.

It's well known that Canadians have impressive amounts of wood. I know I do.

I assume the latter reference is a rumored EO to “end” birthright citizenship.

You really have to like the design of the Sauter Ambiente. It's rather different...

@George-K said in Governor Ramaswamy?:

IOW, "I'm more of an ideas man".

I actually once said that in a management meeting after they asked for volunteers for some godawful task, to be greeted with guffaws from my fellow Brit. As somebody else kindly pointed out, I haven't had a good idea in 20 years.

@Jolly said in Climate Change moves Trump's Inauguration:

I think custom hats start in the $400 range, but a good one will cost more.

Maybe Trump can take advantage of a licensing opportunity, and sell gold plated ones for $50,000. Admittedly, the gold would be a terrible heat sink, but it would be reflective in the cold weather.

@Axtremus said in Tiny Mics?:

Why can't you use the computer's built-in microphone? You have a Mac model that does not have any built-in microphone?

THat's right - I have a Mac Mini.

Something I could plug into a USB slot and not take up a ton of desk pace and add more cabling would be nice.

Ugh. Sorry to hear this.

@George-K said in Time to retire, Iggy:

You're older than I am. Stop it.

Precisely because he is older than you are, he will give even less of a fuck than you do, and more likely to keep acting as he pleases.

Here’s one for TNCR pianists:

I do. The appetizer tonight was marrow bones.

Wouldn't hurt that to get a summons...Might inspire introspection and humility.

Nah...

Interesting video.

Ironically my 2 year old brought me a little TicTac container this morning and I told her I guess the original Tick Tock still exists. She didn't get it.
