I think this is incorrect, and just what nbc has been changing around the whole time.  Nothing concrete.

The few pics I've ever taken with a phone don't include documenting my activities per se. And I'm in the last of the dinosaurs category, as Rick would verify. 

 

I just got my first smartphone last Xmas and then only cuz the last little slice of relatives I engage with bought it and put me on their plan and that was their foundation for insisting I take it. I use next to no features, and don't even know most that it has. So no pics of that stuff, my apologies. 👽

So, you're from a bygone era before people could do research?

This guy is mistaken. From the moment I saw her, I knew right away that she's styling herself to replace Tя☭mp, not run with him. She's absolutely another Tя☭mp, just better looking and without the diapers.

I know character gets dragged across the mud during election season, but Walker?  He deserves every last bit of derision and scorn.  Come on, Georgia GOP, senate isn't even winnable.  Do the right thing and don't go down in history as the state that sent this piece of work 💩to the US Senate.

FTFY

So will that mean the magic number of GOP house members Dems need to convince to help pass a bill is two?

 

That doesn't seem so bad...

Fair enough. I know how you feel. I am an electrical engineer by education and these phones confuse the hell out of me half the time.  🙂

The Speaker will be a Republican and will decide what's brought to the floor. The only major bipartisan bills will be must pass.

Totally random, but for some reason the name never fully clicked and I didn't pay a ton of attention to the Nevada senate race. I actually went to school with Adam Laxalt. Middle and high school. Not necessarily an awful guy, but a bit of a douche and hung around with other douches.

Should be entertaining-- one of the big promises from the crazies was that they'd impeach Biden on Day 1.  I know a lot of the moderate Republicans got driven out, but there's a very real chance they don't even have the votes to symbolically impeach.  There's a good chance there are two Republicans who don't want their name in the wrong column in US history books for perpetuity.

So you went to school with Mike Pence too! Wow, some school system.

 What's a tad ironic is my first career (from age 19 to 42, and born out of a passion/hobby/interest since I was 7) was in state of the art 2 channel hifi.

 

To this day I can wax knowledgeably on cutting edge technologies as well as classic methodology/approaches regarding the playback of music and most of the recording chain from analog to digital.

 

I am ok on computer stuff, but just ok, and on phones I still don't really know (haven't cared to do the work) how to even cut and paste proficiently an an example.  🤡

Yeah I went there through my sophomore year of HS when they kicked me out. lol

 

I actually never knew his parents were so powerful. After watching that ad about him flunking out of college, I remember hearing from people that he had a major substance abuse problem after HS, so him flunking out probably makes sense given that.

The freedom/ maga caucus will do their best to make sure nothing pass. Their mission is to **** things up for their master.

This is just one article but I found others. The answer is yes. The Speaker does not have to be a member of the House.

At this point in time, I can't think of a worse outcome...Nancy gets kicked out after her husband is attacked with a hammer by a nutcase spouting GOP talking points, and then the guy largely responsible for those talking points would take her job, and be 3rd in line for the presidency if--God forbid--something happened to both Biden and Harris. Meanwhile, the Jan 6 committee and its efforts are tossed out the window amidst an avalanche of Republican smears about the work they've done and those who took part in it...all while numerous other committees are proposed and even started, all aimed at Biden, Harris, and their supporters. There will be no moderate Republicans to help squelch any of it.
