Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ Cyran"You know that [casino tycoon] Sheldon Adelson spent $100m of his own money last year on negative ads. You've got to really dislike me to spend that kind of money... Sheldon would have been better off offering me $100m to drop out of the race. I probably wouldn't have taken it, but I'd have thought about it. Michelle would have taken it. You think I'm joking."
We absolutely need to get all these quotes in his quotes page.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.It is nice to have a President with a sense of humour.
Share it so that people can get into this conversation, 'cause we're not the only ones who think like this.

Re Foxx: How well is that going to go through the Senate?
About everything else: How is Congress doing now? Are they still sitting in their trenches and throwing insults, accusations and fingers across the aisle?

They're quick-fixing the FAA sequesterfuck because it's keeping the lobbyists' private jets grounded. (Seriously, the speed at which this is getting fixed makes me think of Parliament during the Great Stink...)
