Sounds like we may have 6 votes (Gaetz and crew) at least to vacate from Rs. Including potential others who are unknowns.
Assuming all the Ds also vote then that would be enough to vacate.

Then what? Who knows~

Could they even pass a quick DOA bill at this point? lol

At this point, a shutdown is all but guaranteed

The question is now, how long until democrats come into play?

Oe better yet, who will be house speaker next week? I don't see McCarthy squeaking his way out of this.

Sorry to hear she died. Still in agreement with others she should've retired years ago, but when you get to an old enough age your routine and job is what really keeps you going. My grandparents were the same way.

Looks like Newsom gets to pick a successor.

Mitch McConnel on the other hand.....better keep an eye on him.

Losing a chunk (5%) of their satellites in a couple months, sounds like they got roughly a 5 year expectancy, doesn't sound so good.

They would have to constantly be launching them. How expensive is this and can they realistically make a profit? I don't see it being easy.

If there is, it won't be shared currently due to it being an ongoing investigation.

But something must be there if the Canadian government is making this statement instead of ignoring it. Sounds like the media was going to push the story anyway, but they got ahead of it.

The USA already said they aren't distancing themselves from it and working with Canada with this.

We will see how things turn out, but things are pointing to more than likely India did something. Especially with the swarm of comments/bots pulling the whole "well he deserved it" and "hypocrites" all over.

Regardless if the guy deserved it or not, killing them in a country you are supposed to be on good terms with is not the way to go about it.

At this point India is barely even trying to hide it.

Is helping a specific group of people discrimination? Even when it's focused on race?

I don't think so, especially if it's based on other factors like past historical events and continued consequences of that.

If it was putting a race over another it would be. Like if a scholarship rated Native Americans above Caucasians through a score to see how likely they would receive it.

Though I would admit affirmative action always gave me mixed feelings.

To be fair, most people don’t listen or care to listen to politics. Don’t blame them.

But many DO listen and care about their entertainment. I’ll take it if it means people who wouldn’t get involved do now. Especially if her fans are of the younger progressive variety.

I’ll admit it. I do listen to her songs.
