MTG is upset that Boebert and Gaetz didn’t negotiate anything for her in their hostage-taking of McCarthy:
Well Marjorie, what kind of gifts did you think you were going to get from a fucking nest of vipers anyhow?
isn’t mtg voting for kevin?
Jack Smith is getting geared up. Poring through documents and issuing subpoenas at speed. Charging decisions could come “within weeks”. Let’s hope so.
I am cautiously optimistic but I don’t like how close that is to “two weeks”. 
Yes, she is. But apparently she still expected those now her opponents (the Never Kevin and associated 21 Reps-elect who are currently blocking McCarthy) to have HER uppermost in their minds during all negotiations.
(Her acute narcissism, of course, endears her infinitely to her Trumpish admirers.)
Carrion birds of a feather, flock together….
Damning with faint praise
House Democrats will always put American values over autocracy, benevolence over bigotry, the Constitution over the cult, democracy over demagogues, economic opportunity over extremism, freedom over fascism, governing over gaslighting, hopefulness over hatred, inclusion over isolation, justice over judicial overreach, knowledge over kangaroo courts, liberty over limitation, maturity over Mar-a-Lago, normalcy over negativity, opportunity over obstruction, people over politics, quality of life issues over QAnon, reason over racism, substance over slander, triumph over tyranny, understanding over ugliness, voting rights over voter suppression, working families over the well-connected, xenial over xenophobia, “Yes we can” over “You can do it,” and zealous representation over zero-sum confrontation
Hakeem Jeffries’ alphabetical shade throw. Maturity over mar a lago!
I loved that part of the speech when I figured out what he was doing!
Me, too. That was pretty great. I look forward to Speaker Jeffries taking the gavel… maybe in just two years!
I believe that’s actually called an acrostic.
Two corrections.
“Xenial over xenophobia”
“Yes we can” over “You can’t do it”.
Some genius put Jeffries’ speech to music. And it’s just brilliant! I could swear that was the very song going through his mind as he’s delivering that speech!
That’s a great speech!!! Thank God for QAnon to let him get that Q! I’m also impressed with xenial over xenophobia. Donald Trumps catering to extremists made this speech possible!

Special grand juries in Georgia are not authorized to issue indictments. But the panel will issue a final report that serves as a mechanism for the special grand jury to recommend whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should pursue indictments in her election interference investigation. Willis can then go to a regularly empaneled grand jury to seek indictments.
It looks like there is a hearing later in January to rule on whether the grand jury report should be made public. I hope it is, considering what is at stake.
So a County DA has to decide whether to charge a former President of the United States and/or any of his associates with (I presume) state crimes resulting from the 2020 election and his/their attempts to overturn the results in Georgia. I do not envy her this decision. In spite of all our rhetoric here, who among us has the courage it’s going to take to do the right thing? The grand jury report, if released to the public, could take a good deal of pressure off, but it is still her decision.
Since this is the schadenfreude thread, I will note in passing what Trump must be feeling about the fact that his first criminal indictment might be made by a Black woman.
I was under the impression that psychopaths/sociopaths do not have feelings.
He’ll think you misspelled “Radical Communist Never Trumper (who is also ugly)”.
As far as empathy for others goes, they sure don’t. But that still allows TFG to have a rich and fulfilling emotional inner life while experiencing all the fear and anger that facing criminal charges will bring.
