Spin Zone / Re: $34,000 Raise for Representatives

Congressional pay needs to be (a) voted on by citizens, and (b) tied to the annual budget.  If there is a deficit, then congressional pay is zero until resolved.
Good luck getting such a law passed by the very entity to which it applies!

He was on the school board in his district and so did have government power to close the schools.
That was {not} evident in the quoted material.

Finally some potentially good news in the two-year-old Georgia Fulton County mail ballot case:

https://voterga.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Press-Release-GA-Supreme-Court-Rules-Voters-Have-Standing.pdf

In theory this means the Georgia Supreme Court would find that the Fulton County lawsuit would proceed and the ballots (if they still exist) can be examined.
One year update: yes, the case still plods on. A judge was assigned and the plaintiffs knew he wouldn't be fair, so argued for a new judge in May:
Quote
PETITIONERS' MOTION TO RECUSE
COME NOW, PETITIONERS, GARLAND FAVORITO, TREVOR TERRIS, AND CHRISTOPHER PECK, by and through their attorney of record in the above styled case, and move the Court, pursuant to Uniform Superior Court Rule 25.1, that Honorable Judge Robert McBurney be recused or be disqualified from hearing this civil action. In support of this motion, and pursuant Uniform Superior Court Rule 25.1 and 25.2, the above-named Petitioners have attached an affidavit fully outlining and asserting the facts upon which the motion is founded. Said affidavit details the prejudice or bias toward the moving parties in particular, or a systematic pattern of prejudicial conduct toward persons similarly situated to the moving parties, which would influence the judge and impede or prevent impartiality. This motion is timely filed within five (5) days of when the Affiant first learned of the alleged grounds for disqualification in this particular case. The above-named Petitioners are entitled to RECUSAL or DISQUALIFICATION as there is no just reason for delay.
Respectfully submitted this the 16th day of May, 2023.

Five months  later the judge finally orders a reassignment to another judge.

ORDER OF REASSIGNMENT TO HEAR MOTION TO RECUSE
Petitioners Garland Favorito, Trevor Terris, and Christopher Peck filed a motion to recuse on 16 May 2023. A day later, Petitioner Caroline Jeffords joined in. The motions to recuse were filed after the Honorable Chief Judge Brian J. Amero transferred the case to the undersigned on 12 May 2023.
Pursuant to Uniform Superior Court Rule 25.3, the Court determines that the motions were timely filed and the affidavits are legally sufficient. Accordingly, the Court requests that another judge be assigned to hear the motion.
SO ORDERED this 11th day of October 2023.

But he controls the process... what bills get to the floor and so forth.  Very important post.
Yes, that helps some, but over in the Senate is a leader of similar power over bills.

I wonder if he will actually put forth multiple funding bills rather than dump a single omnibus funding bill on floor of the house? Last December he wrote the following:

https://mikejohnson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1236
“This 4,155 page, $1.7 trillion ‘omnibus’ is one of the worst government funding bills in the history of Congress.

“Instead of individual bills to fund each federal agency one by one with a roll call vote for each, all agencies have been lumped together right before the end of year deadline, with dozens of unrelated policies attached to it—electoral college changes, retirement changes, cosmetics regulation, health care policies, salmon fishing regulations, even horse racing rules. All jammed in under the guise of a ‘government funding bill.’

“The process for passing this bill is almost as ugly as the substance: written behind closed doors, released Monday overnight, and brought for a vote before anyone could possibly read it—much less debate or amend it.

“This should go without saying, but funding for each government agency and changes to each of these unrelated policies should require their own full, open debate in committee and on the floor with the opportunity to make amendments.

“My guess is that most, if not all, of these unrelated policies could not pass on their own, which is why they are being forced on the representatives of the American people at the 11th hour. This is clearly not how lawmaking is to supposed to work.

“A vote for this bill is an endorsement of the status quo, where there is no transparency, no accountability, and outright disregard for regular order. A vote against this bill is a vote to reject this shameful, broken process. For me, this is a definite No.”]/i]

I’d never heard of him.  From the wiki write up, he’s a bit too religious right for me but aligns with some of my important issues, such as recognized 2020 was stolen, opposes continuing aid to Ukraine and he’s a fiscal conservative. 

 I guess I’m okay with him.  For now.
He's just the speaker, not the whole congress.

I think the “Pretty Woman” or other high priced escorts in Hollywood’s versions of prostitution is ridiculously stupid, yet seems to be a justification for allowing human trafficking.
"Pretty Woman" reminds me of a discussion between Johnny Carson and Phyllis Diller about Richard Gere's character paying big money for a high priced escort. From memory:
Carson: So would you have sex with Richard Gere for a million dollars?
Diller: Well, yes. But I don't know where I'd get that kind of money!

Waffling now, you little twit?

So busy rationalizing your pathetic left wing bullshit.

You can’t help yourself, you HAVE to pretend to be so fucking superior, then try to pretend you aren’t rationalizing the brutal subjugation of girls thru sexual slavery.

What a fucking joke.
You have a tendency to engage in straw-man arguments intermixed with insults. The way I see it you are the one arguing for slavery of women - you want laws that control what they can do with their own bodies.

It saddens me to see otherwise intelligent adults debating how ok it is for women to be forced ....
Can you provide a quote from any post on this thread that claims such force is Ok?
