The house attached the SAVE America Act to an upcoming spending bill. Probably won't go anywhere since the Senate GOP is incomprehensibly cucked, but a good effort nonetheless. I really want to know why Randy Fine voted no on it though. He's really good when it comes to his voting record so there's gotta be something else to it.
If I recall correctly, last time the Democrats forced a shut down by blocking a spending bill it greatly benefited the republicans as they had an excuse to do emergency budget slashing of fraud and crap.
 
I'm honestly not sure what to think about midterm polls because DSA candidates are running an insurgency against establishment ones which is the kind of thing that could greatly influence the outcomes but won't show up in pre election polling.
 
Do you guys got any Jade up there? I collect jade and Wyoming has a bunch.
The main stuff I’m aware of is gold and copper. There’s some potash on account of the salt flats, and Morton salt has a plant along I 80 in Utah.

The thing is, the population around here is entirely dependent on mining, casinos and legal prostitution.

Mining is the only honest thing anyone does in the desert
 
Yep. Our system isn't the best, but it not being purely based on population numbers is one of the main things keeping us from turning into Europe
If it were that way, NYC, LA, Chicago, and San Francisco would all be deciding how people in more rural areas should live, and that to me is horrifying. They already do a lot of damage within their states, and it would be less contained without the senate.

Hence the third world flood strategy. Which is why you laugh and mention the scorpion and the frog when it goes wrong.
 
Permanent Daylight Savings Time just passed in the House, and the speaker pro tem (whoever the hell the bald guy is) held up his phone to the mic and played "Here Comes the Sun" briefly. Okay: Heh.
They just passed another bill -- H.R. 1181 "To prohibit payment card networks and covered entities from requiring the use of or assigning merchant category codes that distinguish a firearms retailer from general-merchandise retailer or sporting-goods retailer, and for other purposes" -- and the dude said, "Without objection...or music...the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table." The House of Representatives has made me chuckle twice today.
