Is it just me or does Matt Gaetz kinda look like the Max Payne game model? Like if you took his picture and turned it into a rough ps2 model it would look like 1 to 1

It’s intended to rally the democrat base which is rather depressed right now. It’s also meant to remind the suddenly hesitant big donor Leftists that there are important things at stake and would they PLEASE let the money flow once again.

I saw Kyle Gass live in the KGP around a decade ago. Smaller venue, 200 max capacity. Stage so small I was able to grab his custom made picks with his face on them off his pedal board. Also got the set list and he signed it. The cringe part though was the whole show he kept pointing to some girl who was a solid 2/10 depending on your preference. And she was not into it. He had a sweat rag he was wiping his head with the whole show, not because the venue was hot, but because the effort of playing his accordion was taking a toll on his physic. He at one point threw the swear rag on to the girls head, and it perfectly flopped in it's wet condition right on top of her. The face of utter disgust and regret she made for even coming to the concert was like a Sam Hyde sketch. Later after he signed autographs, I saw him, basically pinning her to the wall, hands pressed against the wall stopping any escape. He was begging her to come to his motel, like hat in hand, saying, "please just come back with me". I remember feeling so weirded out by the whole show. I talked with the band, they all stayed to talk with fans. The band seemed "somewhat" down to earth but still gave off vibes like they were Rockstar for playing a venue my friends regularly play. The guitarist said he played Bigfoot in tenacious D. I assume he must of been talking about the TD show, not the movie because iirc that was john c reily.
Is KG married? Was he trying to cheat? Or was this a desperate attempt? It felt like he was trying to be cohesive thinking he was a big name, but even a two didn't want to wake up with that regret. Either way I've always felt weird about the guy since then. Though he was nice to me when signing the set list he threw out that me and my friend ripped in half to share, he also looked like he was spun out.

Lovely.. Guess they're going to go through with the packing court and term limits, unreal.
Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changes
President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.
The announcement would mark a major shift for Biden, a former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has long resisted calls to reform the high court. The potential changes come in response to growing outrage among his supporters about recent ethics scandals surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas and decisions by the new court majority that have changed legal precedent on issues including abortion and federal regulatory powers.
Biden previewed the shift in a Zoom call Saturday with the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

“I’m going to need your help on the Supreme Court, because I’m about to come out — I don’t want to prematurely announce it — but I’m about to come out with a major initiative on limiting the court. … I’ve been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months, and I need some help,” Biden said, according to a transcript of the call obtained by The Washington Post.
Term limits and an ethics code would be subject to congressional approval, which would face long odds in the Republican-controlled House and slim Democratic majority in the Senate. Under current rules, passage in the Senate would require 60 votes. A constitutional amendment requires even more hurdles, including two-thirds support of both chambers, or by a convention of two-thirds of the states, and then approval by three-fourths of state legislatures.
The details of Biden’s considered policies have not been disclosed. A White House spokesperson declined to comment.
Biden’s private remarks about his high-court plans came more than two weeks after his wobbly performance at a June 27 debate with Donald Trump, which prompted calls from some Democrats for him to step aside as the party’s presidential nominee. Among those who have rallied to his side are many liberals who strongly support calls to remake the court.
Four days after that debate, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump was immune from prosecution for official acts during his first term in office. Less than an hour later, Biden called Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard Law School, to discuss the ruling and the arguments for and against reforming the court.
“This decision today has continued the court’s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman’s right to choose, to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation,” Biden said in public remarks later that day.
The next week, Biden called Tribe again, and the two discussed a Guardian opinion piece he wrote endorsing reforms to the Supreme Court. Among the options they discussed: term limits, an enforceable ethics code and the constitutional amendment to address presidential immunity.
Tribe confirmed that he spoke with Biden but declined to comment on their discussion.
During the 2020 presidential race, Biden rebuffed calls from liberals who advocated expanding the court, but he promised he would create a commission to study potential changes. He followed through on that promise after being elected, and the commission issued a 294-page report to the president. Biden has not acted on the commission’s report since they approved it in December 2021.
Approval ratings of the Supreme Court have dropped precipitously in recent years, and Biden finds himself trying to resuscitate a flagging presidential campaign after the politically disastrous debate.
Since he was elected, the Supreme Court has veered sharply to the right — overturning Roe v. Wade, ended affirmative action in college admissions, weakening federal agencies’ power by overturning a 40-year decision and striking down Biden’s student-loan forgiveness program. Biden condemned the court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity, arguing on July 1 that it should motivate Americans to vote for his reelection.
“Each of us is equal before the law. No one — no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States,” Biden said in a White House address. “With today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed.”
Eight Democratic senators have co-sponsored a bill that would establish 18-year terms for Supreme Court justices, with a new justice appointed every two years. The nine most recently appointed justices would sit for appellate jurisdiction cases, while others would be able to hear original jurisdiction cases or to step in as a substitute if one of the most recent nine is conflicted or cannot hear a case for another reason.
The legislation was introduced by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), but it has been co-sponsored by several Democrats: Cory Booker (N.J.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Alex Padilla (Calif.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Peter Welch (Vt.), Brian Schatz (Hawaii) and Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.).
Democrats have offered other legislation to deal with ethics concerns about the high court, including a bill by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) that caps gifts judges can receive, requires the court to follow the judicial code of conduct and requires justices to provide written recusal decisions upon request from litigants, among other changes.

Question.
What happens if they aren't able to certify any new SCOTUS judges before Trump gets into power, and the Democrats don't have the majority in either the house or senate?

Now that the shock of the situation mostly wore off and more information is coming out, you really see how this whole thing was prevented through a literal act of God because the chances of the sniper missing were astronomically unlikely given the distance. If this doesnt help with someone's crisis of faith, idk what will.
With that said, it does raise a good point about just how...incompetent the secret service actually was because if it were up to their expertise, the shooter would have turned Trump's head into an orange busted melon. People all over are sharing their testemonies on how the shooter was spotted by them for several minutes and the police was oddly apathetic about it.
Now, I would never dare to suggest the authorities are bought out by powerful players that would adore to see Trump's head splattered on HD for all his fans to watch......but if not that, what else can I say besides that the fact that the police and the secret service just demonstrated frightening levels of incompetence?
A conversation will be forced to have to determinate if this is the by product of corruption or incompetence...or both...and then on if this could happen again because if I was Trump, I definitively wouldnt be comfortable staying in the open during speeches again since my protectors have shown, at the very least, high levels of incompetence and it took literal God's mercy for me to walk off with my life.

So does the shooter have a thread yet?
Fact is empires tend to collapse from the inside, rome had hundreds of crises and near-calls when the republic and then the empire almost ended only to have another golden age, they only collapsed when the internal structure of the nation was so corroded and corrupt no roman was willing to fight and die for rome.
What you're seeing is a reaction to at least a decade from the same behavior coming from neolibs and the left. Is like andrew tate and similar sigma assholes, they didn't just magically show up, they are the result of years and years of manhating becoming the norm, anti-men policies coming from the top-down and being embraced by all institutions. Its the same politically, normies like to blame russian and chinese bots but the current polarization is completely homegrown, soviet propaganda was a thousand times more intense and they never managed to do this in western countries.

I been thinking about this, how normies think is "weird" when you're not oversharing everything and uploading every insignificant detail of your life to the heavily datamined and monitored social networks, the stories of applicants rejected because of a lack of social media footprint, etc. In this context it would be rather easy to take a "ghost" and just blame him for everything.

Technically doesn't talking about packing I guess, but you know they want to. The rest would need an amendment so that's all useless. Packing wouldn't, just no filibuster.
