So, you were assuming AFTER the midterms, and AFTER a Red wave win? Maybe AFTER 1/20/23?
It looks like a narrow win in the house for the republicans at this point, the narrower their majority, the more likely they will be more moderate, as those in close districts balk at extremism. It is political theater, though the republicans are the ones playing it, abusing power and their offices to do so, breaking the rules of civil society and normal politics. If the people, they elect have no character or integrity, what do you think the result will be? If it is power for the sake of power even at the expense of the country and well-being of the people be damned, while the immovable base has other priorities, like culture wars, hate and fear.
The bolded has not proven to be the case.
My bullshit guess is that they know by asking Garland questions about open investigations they can get him to not answer (Because he can't talk about ongoing investigations) and troll him by then asking whatever propagandist PhD witness they call to spin some narrative to use up the rest of the time giving Fox something to selectively edit and push across the internet.
I have no idea how the congressional hearings scheduling works.
We will see, some will be from close districts in blue states, either extreme could dig in their heels and split on some votes
Back in the mid-sixties, up to about 1970 you could get around 15 gallons for your $5, my little Toyota pisspot holds 10 gallons with a full tank, though back then many tanks for larger cars were around 20 gallons if memory serves me right. Mind you $5 was a lot more cash then, but in Canada I could put $2 in my 64 chevy back in 71 and drive around town all evening as a 16-year-old.you must be ninety.
Lowest I ever saw as a kid somewhere in Delmarva was $.29 nine.
That’s been my take for some time, and it’s only gotten stronger: since Capt. Ragemonkey took office, the GOP has lost 20-30% of its base, mostly old-guard recoiling from the ‘new face of conservatism’, +attrition from death, incapacity, imprisonment. Since 01/06, that may have shifted, more like 30-40% loss. Add to that, those that simply sit it out. After Nixon’s resignation, GOP turnout was depressed: roughly 5% stayed home - and Dems took it all (until Reagan in ‘80). I think we could see drop in the GOP vote of 10% or more.Let's hope he's right, he has been before and keeps his ear pretty close to the ground, if there is to be a surprise it will probably be over abortion.
On Maher’s Sept. 23 broadcast, Moore declared:
Michael Moore is forecasting a 'Blue Tsunami' in November. Let's hope his prediction is right
Back in 2016, a pessimistic Michael Moore went on Real Time with Bill Maher and defied the conventional wisdom by predicting that Donald Trump would win the 2016 presidential election. The Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker also wrote an article...www.dailykos.com
I wonder what global car ownership rates were then. Also, around that time of the Arab oil crises women started working outside the home in large numbers and driving their own cars in America and Canada. Before then it was a one car family and dad took it to work! Car ownership rates increased in Europe and Asia around then too, so perhaps the sheer number of cars and the explosion in jet travel, or even central heating in places like Europe could have affected overall demand. It wasn't just greedy OPEC countries; it was also cutting off Iran and Venezuela from global markets and now Russia too.
Not even close: this was the early 70s: pack of cigarettes was a quarter, tooyou must be ninety.
Apollo 11 landed on the moon in ‘69, Nixon still in his first term - I was still in high school. Gus & the Apollo fire was in ‘68…that was a shock. Never did manage to become an astronaut.
Early voting in GA is DOUBLE what it was in ‘18 (previous record)…and no matter what, Walker will get no more votes than Perdue did in ‘20. I expect to see similar play-outs across the nation.
Hard to say at this point, but it is another sign that this won't be a traditional midterm and past experience might not apply. According to common fucking sense the republicans should be politically extinct by now, especially in the wake of Trump, J6 and their stance on abortion and on any of several issues, according to polls. Yet here we are, neck and neck again in a death struggle between constitutional liberal democracy and naked fascism, Hitler's thuggery versus Madisonian democracy.
