Well, if all that is presented by Republicans is homophobic legislation, voter suppression laws or more book banning is planned, then Democrats will sit very well for 2024.

I was taken aback by the complete absence of any awareness of irony in his suggestion that the Dems would suffer for being obstructionists.
Payroll growth decelerated in December but was still better than expected, a sign that the labor market remains strong even as the Federal Reserve tries to slow economic growth.
Nonfarm payrolls increased by 223,000 for the month, above the Dow Jones estimate for 200,000, while the unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, 0.2 percentage point below the expectation. The job growth marked a small decrease from the 256,000 gain in November, which was revised down 7,000 from the initial estimate.
Wage growth was less than expected in an indication that inflation pressures could be weakening. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% for the month and increased 4.6% from a year ago. The respective estimates were for growth of 0.4% and 5%.
By sector, leisure and hospitality led with 67,000 added jobs, followed by health care (55,000), construction (28,000) and social assistance (20,000).
Stock market futures rose following the release as investors look for signs that the jobs market is cooling and taking inflation lower as well.

@revelette1,
Yes, it does beg the question at what age is it alright to sexually assault women?
I have asked him that, but he has yet to answer.
I'm not holding my breath.

Apparently sociopaths eat their own kin with gusto.

Roger Stone says he wishes he had pushed Lindsey Graham in the pool when he saw him 2 months ago at Mar-a-Lago: “I have never met a sleazier, more duplicitous, more dishonest piece of human garbage than Lindsey Graham.”
Quote:
"Stop the Steal" organizer Ali Alexander took to Telegram to lash out at controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and he is pissed. The far-right has turned on Greene after she condemned white nationalist Nick Fuentes, and she now supports Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House. Alexander claims that he is going to expose Rep. Three Names for an alleged crime she committed.
Another vote for House Speaker ends with McCarthy losing yet again for the 14th time, and it looked like Rep. Rogers was going to physically confront Rep. Gaetz before being restrained. It's all a damn messy circus. Now we have to wait until Monday for the cycle repeats itself.
McCarthy falls just short on 14th ballot for House speaker in dramatic finish
Matt Gaetz made him literally walk up to him and beg, with the whole world watching. McCarthy had to publicly sell his soul (what’s left of it) to the ******* insurrectionists, just for the chance to serve as the weakest, most ineffectual leader in history.
Always deflecting, shifting blame, dodging responsibility. Joe and Nancy aren’t responsible for the sorry mess that Gaetz and Green and McCarthy and the whole ugly thug GOP bunch is wallowing in now. Why can’t you hold them accountable for their own mess?

the lasting image of the speaker charade --
Rep Rogers (R-AL) being restrained by Rep Hudson (R-NC) from physically attacking Rep Gaetz (R-FL) in between rounds 14 and 15...
electing a speaker is supposed to be the easy part...
Neither of them would burst a grape. Some red-faced, spittle-laced insults at very close quarters would've been the best, er, that is the worst, we would have gotten from those two.
