@SpeakerJohnson since the Bible is your soi-disant guide, let me offer a scripture to you, "...every city or house divided against itself shall not stand." Governance requires compromise & a Speaker represents the will of the whole House, not just his or her caucus.
#Jag continues #ShootingFishInABarrel on his way to winning #BB25. Voting out #Cirie was in his interest. #Matt seems blinded by the glare of #MinuteMen alliance & is playing a less adroit game. Definitely VP level but not heading up the Executive. He may not even be #2...
Unless it is an extremely bitter jury, the only way anyone wins #BB25 besides #Jag is if one of the remaining players sends him to jury. But one cannot underestimate powers of persuasion of #Cirie and #Felicia#ShootingFishInTheBarrel
@LovePsychicMary I am only watching the v broadcasts. So unless you know from the feeds that #Jag already won veto, even if he plays he could be backdoored if he did not win. I understand that may not be strictly by definition the term but logically it's the equivalent.
If #Matt aims to win #BB25 he should use his HOH to backdoor #Jag. No way he takes the gold in this Olympics if they are both occupying those two chairs on finale night. #Jag is not only a better competitor but he also has a social game.
@mckaycoppins#RomneyAReckoning is sterlingly sublime & superlatively engrossing. I've not been so arrested by a biography since reading @LeandadeLisle's #TheWhiteKing. Perfect, too, is self-reflection on personal culpability present to Romney, which was so absent in Charles I
#Cirie & #Felicia give it up. Neither of you are going to win HoH this week. My bet is that it will be one of the power duo, either #Matt or #Jag. So won't be surprised if #Blue or #Cory end up on the block. #BB25
People in this house are as stupid & anarchic as majority in that other House in our national government. By voting out #Cameron they lose their only aegis against the steamrolling duo of #Matt & #Jag#ShootingFishInABarrel#BB25
However something starts heralds how it will end. An ignominious beginning ever sets the tone for the inevitable ignoble dénouement. #KevinMcCarthy#SpeakerNoMore
Government #shutdown seems a certainty. Grownups in the #House - by that I mean you #Democrats & non-MAGA #Republicans - should get a #discharge petition to the Clerk posthaste. I know its path has a circuitous route but #governance must not fall prey to #Trump’s jackboot thugs
With @SenFeinstein’s death, @GavinNewsom is thrust into a thistly circumstance. Notwithstanding his earlier commitment, it might be best to navigate the thorny path by appointing a caretaker who does not want the job in the long term. Former Senator @BarbaraBoxer for example
Listening to @SenatorTimScott speak one can’t elide the perception that his brain has time jumped to bygone policies. It’s not even a propulsive redux. Just an ineluctable catalog of atavisms. Perhaps core belief is that it’s enough to wear moniker of Black & conservative #Naught
#RepublicanPresidentialDebate was certainly a circus. Only less fun than a real one. #Clowns aplenty but nary a ring master to be found. When do we cease pretending that, with few exceptions, this is veritably a jockeying contest to eke out who will be #Trump’s VP running mate?
