@DigiSwQll17 @RepThomasMassie No one owes you a 'second grade explanation' because you were too dumb to pass third grade. Learn to read. His reasoning is very clearly spelled out.

@RepThomasMassie Cool story, bro. Nobody really cares that you can write an essay. Voters are looking at the scoreboard. Narratives are cheap. Votes are permanent. So let’s talk about how you actually voted… and explain it like we’re in 2nd grade. 👀👇

Can you, the people, “vote your way out of this?” Honestly, not if you get your news from these folks. The swamp has tricks for deceiving the public, and most even work on congressmen. Here’s an example of how Laura and Greg played along as happy tools of the swamp. Please ask yourself why your own congressman has never talked about this. He either hasn’t gotten this far in the game (80% chance), or he likes the way the swamp obscures what’s going on (10% chance), or he dislikes the system but the price he’d pay for telling you is too high (10% chance). If a congressman sees this post and wants to debate me, I accept! The House has rules we adopt at the beginning of each Congress. Honestly we should just use those - some go all the way back to Thomas Jefferson. Some are like Robert’s Rules of Order which branched from House rules a century ago. But we have a rules committee that modifies the rules every week. I served on the rules committee for two years. When I was on the committee, I refused to vote for rules changes if the purpose was to mislead or obscure. Every week, the rules committee bends the rules to suit the Speaker, but you can’t place the blame just on the committee or the Speaker. Every rules change must be approved by the whole House with a majority vote. Rank and file congressmen are told to vote for these rules modifications each week for the sake of party loyalty because the rules are temporarily modified by the majority to keep the minority from using the permanent rules against us. This is partly true, so most congressmen never question beyond this. Typically, every week the rules committee meets before other committees and writes a rules package to protect bills that will come to the floor that week. Then the whole house votes on this rules package early in the week before significant legislation comes to the floor. The vote is typically on party lines. Sometimes a block of congressmen in the majority will take the rules package hostage and withhold their vote to get something else that has nothing to do with the rules. I’m not a big fan of this, but after 13 years, my hands aren’t completely clean of this tactic. The high-road position that I try to maintain is that if the rules package is bad, you shouldn’t vote for the rules package, and in general you shouldn’t withhold your vote from a rules package if there’s nothing wrong with the rules package… even if you disagree with the policy that is enabled to come to the floor by the rules package. There are more details, but that’s all you need to know to understand what I’m going to explain next. This week the Speaker wanted to do two things outside of our base rules, so he put those inside of the rules package that also had the rules for bringing bills like the popular SAVE Act to the floor, knowing members would be afraid to vote against something associated with SAVE. THIS IS INTENTIONAL. The Speaker wanted to circumvent the National Emergencies Act of 1976 to avoid voting on tariffs and he wanted to turn off the ban on bringing a spending bill to the floor the same day it’s introduced. The first rules package that came to the floor this week failed because myself and other republicans objected to it. The rules committee met again, wrote a new rules package without the tariff-trick, and we voted on the second rules package. I voted no but internet goons, like clockwork, characterized this as a vote against the SAVE Act. The swamp used that second rules package to give them authority to pass a bill before anyone could read it. They hid that authority inside the rule for the SAVE act because they knew people like Laura and Greg would help them disparage anyone who didn’t go along. If you fell for Laura and Greg’s slop you were cheering for the Pelosi doctrine that we should pass bills to see what’s in them. If the rules package had failed, the rules committee would have written a better one and SAVE Act would have still come to the floor.

ON top of that, just the other day you titled a stream 'Is Trump Dying?' and then completely buried that lede in, I presume, the members-only stream. Are you news or are you a private club? Yours was one of the few channels I turned adblock off on, but that may change soon.

@SomeMoreNews @drmistercody Does YT not pay ad revenue anymore? Why are so many of your videos - including the recent one about Alex Pretti - paywall locked? Isn't this kind of antithetical to the values you claim to espouse? I don't have an extra $5 a month.

@TheJoeySwoll @itsrosesm It doesn't honor anything if the person inviting you doesn't respect that same history. Horrible take. You need to do better.

@itsrosesm Absolutely in a heartbeat and I would do so with Biden, Trump, Harris too if she’d won. Regardless of your politics or who you voted for to be invited to the White House is a great honor, to be where so many great leaders of this country have lived along with all its history.

@0hour1 @SenWarren

. @SenWarren just lied to America Alex Pretti attacked ICE AGENTS on Jan 13th while brandishing a weapon.

For anyone on the American Right who might be thinking now is a good time to make a remorseful post saying how they were wrong and how they're 'so sorry' now:

Wait !! So Kamala Harris got 0 (ZERO) votes in a NY district that Democrat Sen. Gillibrand got 75% of the vote.... and no one noticed this until now?! and the court case for this isn't until Sept. 22nd, because justice can wait until after the full destruction by Trump...

@Polygon Do you proofread anything?? This is not accurate at all, as SoD still has never-before-seen content still on the horizon as confirmed by the devs just this week. It may seem like a little mistake, but it goes to show why you are largely considered a joke to quote from.

@spookyshah So...he should go buy a $40 knife block with $20? Your lack of logic here might explain the insane leaps of logic you've made elsewhere.

he insists on using my boof ass kitchen to cook and wants to use my shitty knives so bad. like boy if u don’t go to marshall’s with a $20 bill rn i stg

had a straight dude come to my place and he was SO impressed by the simplest things. art on the wall, rugs, a $40 knife block set. dudes are so fucking lame and pathetic lol they fr need a mommy to take care of them their whole lives

@spookyshah "Tell me you don't know how inequality and opportunity work without telling me you don't know how inequality and opportunity work" challenge succeeded, I guess.

oh and also this was an acquaintance of mine (not a date) who came over to see my bf’s dog. my bf who is 3 years younger than him and has a beautiful home btw so y’all have no excuse

@Ainastrasza Narrator: It was not.

Well that was scary. First time playing Helldivers on the new PC and it caused my entire system to lock up and crash after like 5 minutes. Installed new windows updates, tried again in fullscreen windowed mode (so no g-sync) and it seemed fine. Hoping that was a one off issue.

TikTok would literally rather shut itself off from its largest market, than divest its ownership from the CCP. To put it bluntly, these are not the actions of a rational corporation. They're giving the entire game away on who REALLY calls the shots.

Ban sending weapons to Israel, not TikTok.

@Gamers4LMedia @TheJoeySwoll I am huge on common courtesy, but that said, there's a big difference between some tourists or friends taking some photos for their private enjoyment and influencers taking photos to make money acting like they've rented out the whole street.

@TheJoeySwoll I was taught manners as a child so for me if I see people taking pictures it’s common courtesy to go around, but hey, that’s just me.

It’s about time that “influencers” realize the world doesn’t revolve around them! PERIOD.

@Chill_Goblin Dude, this shit is out of control anymore. I'm deleting my FB and insta after meta announced they're allowing AI profiles and ending internal content moderation.

Me: *types literally any two words* Instagram AI: LOL, remember when you sent all your ex-roommates that big long text about your cat dying? That was epic! You wanna send it again, right? 🤙😜🙀

@Wowhead Thanks, but I'd rather not beta test for free for a company that has eliminated as much of it's QA as Blizz has.

Check out one of the D.R.I.V.E. races on the Patch 11.1 PTR! #WarWithin #Warcraft wowhead.com/news/d-r-i-v-e…

@JoshStrifeHayes Those do not look like gym-approved sneakers, my man.

On holiday playing badminton with my brother. Problem is he was playing goodminton. I lost.

Kurt Vonnegut said “We’ll go down in history as the first society that wouldn't save itself because it wasn't cost effective” and damn if that isn't exactly how this is all playing out

@janopetsa @BBCWorld Appropriately ratio'd for abject stupidity and lack of historical accuracy.

@BBCWorld We have more of a legitimate claim to Greenland than Denmark. We discovered much of it and have military bases there. It’s located on the North American tectonic plate as well. It’s ours. Greenland’s population doesn’t want to be Danish either.

Germany and France warn Donald Trump against threats to take control of Greenland from Nato ally Denmark bbc.in/4fNpV7Z

@CharlesBurke49 @FfaceVonFstick @BillAckman Also, we have 7x the population of South Korea, so I don't know why you're highlighting the two countries as if they're equal. I'm not defending Trump here, btw, I'm defending good research and honesty when assigning blame.

@CharlesBurke49 @FfaceVonFstick @BillAckman That was total deaths. Unfortunately, with how quickly the pandemic hit and the pathology of the disease, many people would have caught it before any kind of isolation measure happened. Trump's inaction can only be blamed for a fraction of them realistically.

At what point does a governor who has so grossly mismanaged his state resign? You have to give Justin Trudeau credit for acknowledging failure. You don’t see that often in our country.
