I was thinking about the state the house of representatives has been in.
“Welcome, newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you’re gonna hear about it!”
I was thinking about the state the house of representatives has been in.
Just in time for the election year.
I’m not criticizing.
What evidence is required?
It’s just people playing politics
Well, it is politics. I understand what you mean though.
The quotes there are pretty funny, Alter doing some warmongering and Klein calling the kettle black.
It’s incredible how differently people viewed the war in Iraq then.
The new regulation would prevent 58 million tons of methane emissions by 2038
An average of ~3,866,666 tons per year.
How does this compare to the total amount of methane currently being released?
While there’s been scientific debate on the cause of the ongoing surge in methane levels, carbon dioxide pollution has always been the primary driver of human-caused climate change. An estimated 36 billion tons of carbon dioxide were emitted into the atmosphere last year by human activity; roughly 640 million tons of methane were emitted during the same period.

Why was it not a concern until now?
How times have changed. Many people said that Pelosi was too liberal back then.
Given the glee that’s emanating from the conservative commentariat over Nancy Pelosi’s near-certain ascension to House minority leader, you’d think the Democrats were about to turn into acid-dropping Merry Pranksters riding around in the Furthur bus, just because their new leader represents Haight-Ashbury. Cal Thomas wrote that Pelosi’s election “will have given Republicans two major victories in less than 10 days.” An identical message—Nancy Pelosi, good for the Republicans—came from the National Review’s John J. Miller and the Wall Street Journal editorial page. In the Weekly Standard, David Brooks called Pelosi “the most caricaturable politician since Newt Gingrich,” and the term “Pelosi Democrats” has already replaced “Daschle Democrats” as the GOP’s Democratic slur of choice.
And it’s not just Republicans beating up on Pelosi. Although no Democrat has yet to concur with the assertion of a Washington Times columnist that she is a Manchurian Candidate for Socialist International, there’s not a lot of joy in Moderateville. The New Republic’s Peter Beinart worries that Pelosi will lead the Democrats into a “40-60 nation.” Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter says Pelosi’s leadership “makes the Democratic caucus look more dovish than even the French.” In Slate, Joe Klein dubbed Pelosi “the very sort of political anachronism the party should studiously avoid.”
There are some slow learners in the legislature.
suicides are half the problem
The majority of firearm-related deaths are suicides.

Just think of all the money he’ll make in jail.
I never liked twitter, maybe I can see if I like any of the new things
Republicans don’t want a revolution and the Democrats don’t want people to own guns.
It’s not nothing.
Individual preferences and the market are bigger forces, which we’re seeing now as advertisers flee, and companies launch Twitter competitors that attract some interest, such as Threads.
uh, how is threads doing these days?
Is the “new right” the same as the “alt right”?
