Out of edits but I'm not sure how Toomey's "family commitment" excuse flies if he was there to vote in attendance previously but I don't have the full timeline down yet. Definitely comes off as trying to have it both ways "I would have voted for the Commission, honest!" Also not sure what prior commitment takes priority over investigating an insurrection either but =/

Also, this is officially the first filibuster of this Congress.

Edit: Schumer announcing he will bring voting rights to the floor last week of June.

And I mean, the road here is almost assuredly Pelosi setting up a Select Committee for this which because the House is majority dem would be dem controlled. "Curious" what Manchin's reaction to this is now that we have seen there aren't "10 good people" but I'm not holding my breath.

I am sure Manchin is just as shocked as I am about this incredibly unforeseeable outcome.

Was that a Bernie Bros thing? I had just attributed it to you being a crazy person.

Also plenty of people thought she should have retired like a decade beforehand. That would be the closer equivalent to now than what you're referencing.

More specifically, it was all based on one picture of her not wearing a mask while officiating. Like she wasn't even clearly breaking social distancing based on that.

And I could be wrong, but I don't think Gmun is paraphrasing with "piece of shit".

I never called her shit, I called what she DID stupid.

If you think it was smart for her to stay on board and then not live in a bubble to protect the seat, I must assume you think Breyer shouldnt retire either.

and yeah calling a woman stupid on the fucking day she died is such petty horeshit that again had fucking nothing to do with her death - it's gross and it's insane that you're still hung up on it

Wtf kinda dig is assuming I think Breyer should retire? Did I even say that about RBG? Did I even say should've officiated the wedding? That's got nothing at all to do with being a crass asshole on the death of a feminist icon.

Not The Onion

Who goes to a hotel and expects a bed and air conditioning?

Dovere said there was no bending the rules with Sanders's demands. He recounted a story about a campaign stop in California when an annoyed Sanders shamed a hotel employee for not being able to get the thermostat below 65 degrees.

Sanders watched the employee fiddle with the thermostat as he sat on his bed, Dovere wrote. When she couldnt get it to work, Sanders reportedly ignored her apology, instead saying, So, Chloe... You dont want me to sleep tonight?

Literally laughed out loud at that last line. Bernie Sanders is like one of six people where, whenever anyone attributes a quote to them, I immediately hear it in their voice.

Waiting for more outlets to pick it up but apparently reports are coming out of Israel that an alternate coalition government deal has been made and Netanyahu will be ousted as PM.

Apparently left, center, and right parties are all in on it so it just seems like they wanted him out lol. Not sure what this will mean for Israel politically. Sounds like the new PM is also right-wing (some saying even more so than Netanyahu !!) and will serve until 2023 before the deal puts in a more centrist PM. But again, waiting for more details to come out.

HANNITY: Socialism will always end this way -- with unfulfilled promises, lofty promises. You -- you think it's a great thing, "I don't have to worry about these things anymore. Ah, thank goodness. Alright, I don't have to worry about getting a college fund for my kids. I don't have to worry about my healthcare. I even have government guaranteed retirement -- I'm gonna have -- I'm gonna have daycare if I have kids," blah, blah, blah.
Sounds great -- they'll never pull it off because they can't afford it. Socialism's great until you run out of other people's money.
And then after the promises are unfulfilled, then the next problem occurs -- and that is -- it results in dependency and more poverty. And the last thing that you gotta calculate - depending on what manifestation this fully takes on in the end: How much freedom did you give up in the name of false security created by people that when you look deep inside, didn't really want to promise anything. They wanted to make you dependent on them so they can stay in power. It's that simple. That's what is -- that's the game that they play. It sounds appealing.

Here's my unsolicited advice to all of you, my wonderful radio family. Can't do this show without you.
Don't rely on the government for anything. Rely on yourself. Go out, work hard. Work 2 jobs, like my parents did. Save as much as you can so you can make choices down the road.

My parents didn't work two jobs.

I'm the one who said that. And yes, it was very frustrating to see everyone miss the point and try to convince me that Manchin's views are terrible. (Of course they are, but that doesn't mean he isn't also covering for other Dems.) If Manchin, Sinema, and two random GOP senators (just to keep the partisan balance) all suddenly died somehow, the Senate still wouldn't make any huge progress on anything. We'd just see different Dems pop up to get in the way.

It actually doesnt say that. It says they cant ask for proof of vaccination in order to gain access/entry or services:
