Oh that's ok, no need to be sorry  ;)   

Matter of fact if I didn't know better I'd suspect the put-on 'sorrow' served more as a mechanism to arbitrarily post a hyper-partisan assessment and and absurd one at that.  Put simply, I mocked a grandstanding politician on her theatrics and there was no 'outrage' in it let alone it being 'manufactured' so no need for the hyperbolic 'outrage' swipe simply because I had the temerity to mock a politician who in this particular case just happened to be one of your sacred cows. :-)  Had I in fact mocked that 'in fact cow' MTG in the exact same manner and under the exact same circumstances would you be sarcastically taking me to task as is the case here?   Me I don't care what side of the aisle a politician resides; a politician's a politician and they're all fair game and hardly the venerable celebrities some cable networks make them out to be (depending on the news source), i.e. one source's scumbag is another one's saint and vice versa.

now back to the news

Didn't expect that.

There's a theory that Manchin killed this bill because McConnell said the Republicans wouldn't support the CHIPs bill if they passed legislation on climate change or taxing rich people, and now that they passed CHIPs yesterday he's giving them the People's Elbow (that one's for you, mj).

I feel like it's a theory that gives too much credit to Manchin and the Democrats though.

“The party, which is centrist, has no specific policies yet.”

We already have one of those, they're called the Democrats.

Only one democrat voted against the bill: Chuck Schumer.  Chuck you schmuck,  wtf and why?

[CatoTheElder]

Schumer's Twitter account is silent on it. Let's see how long that will last.

So the 1776 Restoration Movement, formerly the Freedom Convoy, have set up shop around the National Mall for the past couple of weeks. Another, rival right wing trucker protest group showed up to counter protest the 1776RM because they claim that the 1776RM has pedos as members. The results are about what you would expect.

Expanding voting access is good.

Hopefully they don't pull a Florida and make some excrement up to nullify it.
