What timeless issues?

That's great for the future. But the government needs to operate prior to that time. If there is no speaker, then there's no vote for keeping the government open past mid November

It's not good for those who live in the US. A speaker needs to be elected before they can pass anymore funding.

Because spying on you is bad. They mention the privacy implications in the article.

Space forecaster? "Today there will be mostly nothing with a small chance of satellite showers in the evening. And when is the evening? I don't know. It's space."

Over the top is the correct way and I will die* on this hill.

    • not really, at most I'd probably reply once, maybe twice, to a rebuttal if it is interesting. And then id just forget it. But oh boy, the next time it's brought up, I'll claim to die on that hill again.

The dog's grammar isn't great. Maybe the dog is stupid.

Why? Cause he wanted to read the bill before voting on it. Republicans forced it through and overrode the minimum amount of time to read it. Sure, 72 hours would be problematic, but they didn't even want to give them a handful of hours.

In the end, he voted yes. Some guy also had to talk for 52 minutes straight to try and give them time to read the bill to ensure nothing bad was snuck in.

It wasn't to disrupt the vote. It was an arguably bad attempt to delay the vote so they could read it before voting. This is like getting angry and a starving kid stealing a loaf of bread. Is it illegal? Sure. Is it wrong? Absolutely debatable.

And technically they can't get arrested without getting impeached or expelled. Which you mentioned both consequences, but they need to be in that order. And it'd look really silly and likely not lead to expulsion without the Republicans looking bad. So they'll just let their extremists whine loudly about it and submit bill ands the like that will go nowhere, but keeps it in the news so they can talk about it in sound bites.

A government shutdown would disrupt a lot more than the fire alarm. That's the consequence of Dems voting no on a bill they didn't read.

You seem to be misunderstanding my position entirely. I suggest you read my first comment again. Cause you're using a lot of words and details to explain useless stuff.

Edit: I don't disagree it's a tool. I disagree its the same as a person being inspired by others. And I am against the claim that they should freely use whatever they want without credit.
