The irony of their own party being the ones continually arrested and investigated for child sex crimes while they dive deep into the Q theories about Hollywood and Democrat sex rings.... Doctorate level projection

I haven't flown in two years and kind of forgot how much I hate the run-up to it. I've been trying to check in for 2 hours, and right now it looks like for the last leg of our 26-hour journey (3 flights total), only 3 of us have seats in the plane and the rest of the seats are possibly booked? So, what? We get to pick which two of us have to stay in Atlanta while the rest finish the journey? And now I've been on hold for 30 min to talk to someone and figure out what's going on. I do not want to fly all day tomorrow with that final leg hanging over my head. I need to know what's going on. Gah.
ETA: Sorry this post isn't politic-y, but this is my home

The flight we canceled in July, they moved our seats multiple times and split our group up - without any notice. And that's after we paid to have assigned seats! I started checking our seats weekly to make sure they didn't split us up again after I moved us back together. I was pissed.

The stocks were bought after a private covid briefing. I'm so shocked. /s

You could always use it as a threat You better behave or I'm leaving you in Atlanta! Or send them all on except your favorite and just chill in the ATL til its time to go home.
I'm sorry its so frustrating for reals tho. Hopefully its easily fixed.

My brother flew home to DC last Saturday and they didn't get home until Monday night. They flew through Canada and it was just bananas how many times their flights were cancelled, redirected or overbooked. They were supposed to be home Saturday night.

My boss just pulled the smoothest "I see you bitch" in the history of the world related to what I poofed earlier. Remind me to tell you all about it in a couple weeks when the topic has died down a bit.

Well, I think the moderates are looking toward the midterm elections and looking back at the last few special elections - and offsetting the progressive house members threats to tank the infrastructure bill. How much is posturing, how much is really putting Pelosi's leadership skills to a real test, I don't know.
I admit I was more concerned about the progressive members' threats before all this boiled over today.

Refusing to Fox News ever, but what is this email referencing that I just received from PactToTheFuture?
I’m in disbelief:
Fox News just admitted Republicans are FLEEING the Senate.
-- Ohio’s Senator called it quits. -- Pennsylvania’s Senator is out. -- North Carolina’s Senator is retiring. -- Alabama’s Senator is stepping down. -- Now, Missouri’s Senator is leaving, too.

I don't think any of this is news. I think this is fundraising off of speculation in beltway centric publications that RonJohn and a few others are weighing retirement.

Burr and Portman announced their retirements ages ago, Toomey was before impeachment 2.0 I think. Blunt announced awhile ago too. Sorry friends, I think it's just click bait.

This is garbage When thousands of Florida seniors were waiting in long lines for a Covid-19 vaccine this past January, Fox News and Gov. Ron DeSantis were plotting to broadcast a public vaccination event exclusively on the network in order to boost the governor’s image. And according to an exposé by the Tampa Bay Times, which obtained emails between the network and governor’s office, that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the cozy relationship between DeSantis and Fox News. The Tampa Bay Times examined 1,250 pages of email correspondence between Fox and DeSantis’s office that show the close relationship the governor has with the network. During the broadcast of the vaccination event, DeSantis made comments and jokes as a 100-year-old veteran of World War II got his first dose. Beforehand, DeSantis’s office provided talking points. www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/desantis-fox-news-1211975/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Rand's brilliant defense was that he never goes to health briefings I wonder why he decided to disclose now. Because they were going to get exposed by someone? or because he thought this would be a safer time to do it? I don’t get it.

The subject lines are so clickbaity, I totally get the drive to click Is this where I go off on the topic of hating the “mail” app on my phone. If I read something and delete it, it takes me to the next one and not back to the list. I also cannot mass purge easily and have been known to open instead of deleting emails. So if the first screen is interesting enough and when I scroll down it looks brief, I read it. The subject lines hardly register.

DD2 puked on take off and landing of flight #1 despite dramamine and then spilled her orange juice in between. So things were off to a great start. But I got at least verbal confirmation we're all on flight #3, they just can't assign seats right now for some reason. So 🤞 on that.
