No rest for the wicked, I suppose.
Possibility: So it's all but a fact that Pelosi -does not want- to run again. While the rumor mill isn't terribly precise, the general drift is that she was more or less coerced into it. Before she announced, we had a big thing about sealing off her husband's big thing that makes them money.

it is a likely possibility that doing so was a requirement placed upon her to prevent a challenge against her for the Speaker position.

Biden administration officially withdraws vaccine rule​


The Biden administration has officially withdrawn a rule that would have required workers at big companies to get vaccinated or face regular COVID testing requirements.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration confirmed the withdrawal Tuesday. But the agency said it still strongly encourages workers to get vaccinated.

In early November, OSHA announced a vaccine-or-test mandate for companies with at least 100 employees. The rule __ which would have impacted more than 80 million U.S. workers __ was originally set to go into effect on Jan. 4.

But numerous states and business groups challenged the rule in court. On Jan. 13, the Supreme Court halted the plan. In a 6-3 ruling, the court’s conservative majority concluded that OSHA had overstepped its authority.

“OSHA has never before imposed such a mandate. Nor has Congress,″ the court’s majority wrote. ”Indeed, although Congress has enacted significant legislation addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, it has declined to enact any measure similar to what OSHA has promulgated here."

The justices left in place a vaccine mandate for health care providers who receive federal Medicare or Medicaid funding. That rule affects 10.4 million workers.

OSHA indicated that the rule could return in some form. While it is no longer an enforceable standard, it remains a proposed rule, OSHA said. In the meantime, the agency said it will prioritize the health care mandate.

Is this a win?
 
To get back on track here and past the pointless mod discussion:

Brandon's first loss of the day is the announcement that OSHA has formally withdrawn the vax mandate.
OSHA indicated that the rule could return in some form. While it is no longer an enforceable standard, it remains a proposed rule, OSHA said. In the meantime, the agency said it will prioritize the health care mandate.
"We're ending the mandate - OR ARE WE?! WE'LL GET YOU FOR SURE NEXT TIME, YOU FILTHY UNVAXXED SCUM!" - OSHA, 2022
Pelosi makes it official. She's running for reelection.

Good. A swamp creature does not deserve rest after what they've done, especially one as heinous as Pissant Pelosi.
 
You know, this administration is so caught up in their own cleverness, I can just see them telling the press "Oh, we changed our minds, we aren't sending anyone to the Ukraine!" and then turn around and try to be sneaky and send a bunch of Nasty Girlz to Poland and the like.

Keep an eye out and see if they decide to bring back REFORGER or WINTEX in the next two weeks.

That sounds exactly like the retarded shit a fucking REMF like Milley would try.
They never said they were sending troops to Ukraine. they always said they were being sent to NATO member states. you have been buying into the fake panic over Ukraine.

At what point in history did congress decide that it was no longer their place to pass legislation? I get that our system is supposed to be slow and hard to get through, and for good reason, but it just feels like almost every piece of major policy change over the last 20 years came from the president or the supreme court. When was the last time democrats tried to pass a bill that federally legalized abortions? How many times has someone suggested a constitutional amendment for guns, healthcare, housing, or whatever? There's a path to do these things, and almost nobody even attempts to go about it the right way.

Any chance for a genuine challenge? I mean, if any of the guys doing the dem civil war, this is the time to move no?

Or is everybody there too afraid to be pegged with the mid terms failure that is to come, I mean, the media is already looking for someone to take that hot seat of blame.

Someone would have to be really stupid to want the role right now. After 2024 would be the saner time for someone who has the ambition to try to get the role.

These are the same people that shat their pants when a bunch of boomers decided to waltz through the front door, and have been seething about it since then. You actually expect congress to do things by the book and act like adults, especially on things that actually matter?

She is desperately trying to hold the progressive caucus flood back as they march forward. Guess she'll enjoy being minority leader again.

When she dies, there will be a power vacuum and everyone will try to take it.

Which is why she is being forced to stay. If she leaves the same exact thing occurs. Nobody can take her role.

They could at least campaign on it.

"You asked for X when you voted for me, so we introduced multiple bills that do X but it was stopped for reason 1, 2, and 3. Continue to vote for me to bring you X, but remember you also have to do these other things to resolve reasons 1, 2, and 3."

That sounds a lot better than,

"My opponent is the embodiment of everything you think is evil. I'm the only other name on the ballot, so vote for me or you're supporting evil."
