https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/04/05/knodl-to-win-tight-race-for-senate-seat-securing-republican-supermajority/
Rep. Dan Knodl (R-Germantown) beat Democrat Jodi Habush Sinykin in a tight race for Wisconsin’s 8th Senate district, which represents the northern Milwaukee suburbs and parts of Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington — or “WOW” — counties.

Senate Republicans finally claim a 22-member, two-thirds supermajority with the win, which gives them the power to impeach and remove “civil officers”
The potential for impeachment became a major point of contention in the race following comments from Knodl, who appeared open to using the impeachment power. In the days leading up to the election, Knodl said he would “certainly consider” launching impeachment efforts against Judge Janet Protaciewitz

Lurker21 said...: Poker Face (the recent movie with Russell Crowe, not the new television series with Natasha Lyonne) is an incoherent concoction. It's as if a bunch of different scripts -- caper, action film, drama, elegy or eulogy -- were thrown up in the air and awkwardly reassembled. Still, the movie's minilecturette on Australian art might be appreciated.; 4/5/23, 8:10 PM

Lem the artificially intelligent said...: Via Reddit: "CashApp founder was just stabbed to death in San Francisco"

One of the top voted comments: He’d apparently just moved to Miami too, but was back in town on a trip. Worse, there is apparently footage of him after the attack desperately trying to get people to help him only nobody would. All the interconnected mobile devices, street cameras, tracking systems, and notification pushbots ever invented, and this ultra wired tech guru bleeds out on a SF street anyway because literally nobody could be bothered to care. The 21st century is filling up with lonely deaths like this and I hate it, I hate it so much.; 4/5/23, 8:36 PM

gadfly said...: Little dogs like Giorgio, the Chewy Chihuahua normally live 15-17 years and big guys like Ralph, Chewy's Saint Bernard/Mastiff mixed breed that loves peanut butter will normally live about 8-10 years. Smaller dogs can live more than 20 years.

So Grennie is a miracle dog having lived 25 years. That is one hell of a big gravestone for a little dog.

On the other hand, we owned a small housecat named Pookie who lived 24 years - far more than the 15-year norm. The world record for cats of 38 years is held by a feline named Creme Puff.; 4/6/23, 2:35 AM

The package said manufactured in Mexico and England. What???? Sure enough, one bottle was made Mexico and the other was made in England. We are so screwed.

Except, that isn't what the NPR story said. You linked to the Reddit page. That was a waste of time. I went to the NPR page for that story. Where you can read the text and listen to the story as it aired.

So yeah; it is indeed "made up." Made up, by whatever Redditor from the fever swamps of Trumpism who started that moronic page.

Here's your regular reminder that Donald Trump is right about exactly one thing, in my own personal view. For people like me, we don't simply hate Donald Trump. We hate Trump's most ardent followers too.

Trump loves the poorly educated. Me, not so much.; 4/6/23, 5:46 AM

wildswan said...: Trump can run for President of Ham Sandwich Nation even if, or better to say when, convicted of felonies. It's called restorative justice. And there's nothing in the Constitution to stop him. In countries that habitually arrest the leader of the opposition, having that leader take office later on is just the commonest kind of outcome. Look at Iran and all the banana republics. Vaclav Havel won in Czechoslovakia. Russia has Alexander Navalny, the leader of the opposition, under arrest and there was an Academy-award-winning video about him. So why not Trump in Ham Sandwich Nation? is he not the ideal representative of the people? isn't that why he is being prosecuted?; 4/6/23, 8:14 AM
tim maguire said...: Lem the misspeller said...The morning news is alerting people to “dozens” of threats directed at the Manhattan judge and DA charging Donald Trump.

Most claims of having received threats are bunk. There is victimhood cachet to be gained from having received threats, so people pretend that mean statements are actually death threats and if the media likes you, they'll run with it.; 4/6/23, 8:23 AM

They don't have to be mean comments. Simply saying that gender dysmorphia should be treated like other forms of dysmorphia is enough to get you accused of violence against trans people.; 4/6/23, 10:58 AM

yet here we are again, pretty little things in dresses and heels; silly beings whose deepest thoughts would drown in a kiddie pool.

Gee, you should get on the ball and identify a candidate that will more effectively campaign across the country and then deliver the Trump policies without all the Trump drama.

I can't wait to hear who you have in mind.; 4/6/23, 1:57 PM
Drago said...: LLR-democratical and Violent Homosexual Rape Fantasist Chuck: "So yeah; it is indeed "made up."'

If you're looking for someone who enjoys making stuff up, that would be our very own Karen/Eddie Haskell-like Chuck who has spent almost 8 years lying about and smearing Trump, Trump supporter and any conservative in general. In particular, black conservatives. Also in particular, black conservatives that served in the military. Also in particular, attractive female conservatives.

LLR-democratical Chuck proudly proclaimed his only 2 purposes at Althouse blog were to
- Smear (lie about) Trump
- Drive a wedge between Althouse and her readers

LLR-democratical Chuck prides himself on his specificity with language, so when he argues that "smear" does not equal "lying", that's when it really begins to get fun.

Lets see if LLR-democratical Chuck's infamous anger forces him to launch into another creepy Barron Trump fixation or rape fantasy.; 4/6/23, 2:03 PM
Drago said...: Speaking of "making something up", remember when LLR-democratical Chuck spent weeks and weeks on this very blog claiming Joe Biden had NO CHOICE but to executed the EXACT plan for exiting Afghanistan that Trump was going to execute?

Hilarious.

Did LLR-democratical Chuck ever fess up for that lie?

Quite the contrary. He was very, very, very proud of himself. Like a toddler that had just smeared (!) peanut butter all over his face.; 4/6/23, 2:06 PM
