McCarthy behind move to kick Pelosi out of her office, sources say -- so he can move into it

Huh? How does this make any sense?

There's a number of unlisted offices that can be assigned to various people who need them... the complex is large.

And Hoyer wasn't ever Speaker so... ?

I guess offices were left empty since Ryan resigned rather than stay as a Member?

Also blaming the Democratic members for the Republican party pushing through rules that allowed one of their more insane to issue the removal vote, and that it was Republicans that spoke in the debate and then basically removed him...

It's petty madness.

fun fact

The He-Man series back in the 80s always ended with little moral quips, so this is mimicking that.

The fact is that all fetuses start off assuming female, and then the presence of certain chromosomes trigger male anatomy.

Hence all males being trans if life starts at conception, as at X week development shifts to generate the male oriented organs.

At least that's my understanding of this meme...

No... she wasn't.

It is her office, or at least it was.

There are a number of unlisted offices that can be assigned. It is customary to allow a Speaker to retain one of these if they leave that role.

Maybe you're the one that should do some actual research?

My ex-wife is American and we'd fly to the US (I'm in the UK) once a year when we were together to go see family.

We'd usually fly premium economy for the extra luggage allowance and slightly nicer seating.

When her father passed away the trip over tete had 1st class at only a modest increase from premium, I'm guessing due to a desire to fill the seat at short notice.

Given the situation I decided to get the upgrade, and it was absolutely worth it.

Damn it felt good as a resto druid on the final phase of Lady Vashj back in SSC when this happened though... only a couple of us alive... dodging the bad shit on the ground... throwing rejuvenation on myself, and moonfire spam on her as to stand still was to die... instant spells only were viable... then having her go down in that craziness just a few days before her big nerf... yeah that's a "core memory" moment for me!

Except it is clearly written by someone who just despises it, and doesn't really know what they are talking about.

Init scripts were awful... they varied by distro and frequently were the source of odd problems.

There's a good reason the Linux industry moved away from them to other ways to handle initialisation of the system and service management.

Mega Thread: Trump Fourth Indictment and 18 co conspirators into the 2020 Georgia Election Investigation (41 Counts, 13 against Trump)

Reply in thread

There's 30 unindicted co-conspirators ... a good chunk of those appear to be the people that purported to be the legitimate electoral college delegates.

Pretty sure those who were going to flip on the others have done so at this point and they did so to avoid the indictment.

Nice seeing Meadows actually charged, after ducking the DoJ indictments on Jan 6th and his contempt of Congress.
