        I think that was Mayra Flores. And "Democratic" is not in the official name of the caucus, but its bylaws now clearly state it's for Dems only. -- (link) - mara Jan 5, 14:27 1
        
        I researched it at the time. Years ago, conservatives broke out and formed a GOP Hispanic caucus. - loosilu Jan 5, 14:29

  - Oh the Wings are playing? -- nm - spamlet Jan 5, 15:02
Noncompete agreements in employment contracts are on the chopping block. -- (link) - TWuG Jan 5, 14:03 1
- what we need to rid is blanket NDAs, esp when used to cover crime, discrimination, and DNA should spell out what can't be disclosed -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 5, 14:22
SNL: Aubrey Plaza /Sam Smith Jan. 21, Michael B. Jordan /Lil Baby Jan.28 -- (link) - mud Jan 5, 14:03 5
- Based on that photo Sigourney Weaver and Plaza should costar in something as mother & daughter. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 14:18 2
  - second aside, Weaver's voice coming out of Kiri did *not* work. Uncanny Audio Valley. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 14:21 1
    - Can confirm. -- nm - spamlet Jan 5, 14:23

    - I'd watch that. - mud Jan 5, 14:48
- The market loves it because he’s coming back to sell it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:53 9
  - something something no-sell -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 14:42
  - Yeah, this is immediately the best biggest wrestling story of the 21st century. -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:57 7
    - Also, he hates his family. Fired his son, and then sold the company out from under his daughter and son in law after he got forced out - Will Hunting Jan 5, 14:01 4
      - This is legitimately Succession shit right here. He couldn't *stand* that the company was doing better without him. -- nm - David Jan 5, 14:02 3
        
        What’s amazing is Barrios and Wilson got fired or ran away from him within the last 3 years. What the hell are they doing? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 14:23 2
        
        Isos Capital Management -- (link) - JD Jan 5, 14:49
        
        Doing things for money, just like hookers always have. -- nm - David Jan 5, 14:26
    - NBC universal is probably in the lead. Market cap at80 a share is just under 6billion. Premium on it probably gets to 7b. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:59 1
      - they're the logical sale right now. -- nm - Remlik Jan 5, 14:38

  - well he has suffered long enough. -- nm - Jovian Jan 5, 13:51
Bronze Medal game gon' bananas. -- nm* - Reagen Jan 5, 13:44
Texas Longhorns fire basketball HC Chris Beard. -- nm* - Strongbad Jan 5, 13:44

M3gan 94% (72/5), Women Talking 90% (142/16), The Old Way 38% (3/5), Mars One 100% (25/0), A Man Called Otto 66% (44/23) -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 13:33 1

- HaHaHa, the donald as speaker, can you imagine him in a job that actually requires you to work your ass off. as pres he had a huge staff... -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 5, 13:45 5
  - he quite literally wouldn't know how to do the job. No idea what it involves -- nm - St. Epiphany Jan 5, 13:48 4
    - It requires work. He can't do it. -- nm* - loosilu Jan 5, 13:49 3
      - yep. exactly why he never jumped on this ploy like a dog in heat when it was suggested *A LOT* two - three years ago. -- nm - Jovian Jan 5, 13:52 2
        
        I remember. It also involves actual dealmaking, which we all know he cannot do. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:54 1
        
        If you don't agree with us I'm going to call you a mean nic name...Loose Pants Loosi...no, Loser Loosi, how do you like THAT -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 5, 15:00
- ...Michelle. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:37
- oh is that what that are going to do? morons. -- nm - Remlik Jan 5, 13:31
- Nah, let them own the stupidity. -- nm - spamlet Jan 5, 13:24 18
  - Yup. I don't get why people think the Dems should do anything but sit back and watch the GOP look like fools. -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 5, 13:40 16
    - I do think that they should cut a deal because having McCarthy increasingly offer the House to the nutjobs is bad for everyone. But if they're not - spamlet Jan 5, 13:43 11
      - the nutjobs are demanding total destruction of government functions, no income tax, defund fbi, stop social security...what compromise can be made? -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 5, 13:49
      - The only deal they should cut is to have some on the right to vote present so Jeffries can take the seat. ;-) - Krusty Jan 5, 13:46 9
        
        There's no chance that happens. But I do think they're waiting for some republicans to start talking to them, I kind of feel it's like Dan Aykroyd in - pmb Jan 5, 14:08
        
        The handwringing over Jeffries potentially getting it is funny since it's not like he could pass whatever he wants without the majority anyway. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 13:49 7
        
        True and it won't happen because there's a lot that you gain from being speaker like committee assignments and setting the agenda. - Krusty Jan 5, 14:01
        
        I just don't think the Democrats could get enough Rs to vote for him, that's simply not going to happen. - spamlet Jan 5, 13:57 5
        
        I imagine the GOP will refuse a Dem speaker at all cost because they'd lose legislative agenda and Rules committee. - Max Jan 5, 14:04 3
        
        1000% this. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 14:12
        
        Yup, so let them flail. The one and only Dem deal should be "vote for Jeffries or get bent". Every bad thing that follows this debacle - TWuG Jan 5, 14:07 1
        
        but it will be. How will they pass anything? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 14:15
        
        9 more "presents" isn't totally out of the realm. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 14:03
    - What is that quote? Something like, when the enemy is self destructing, let them. - loosilu Jan 5, 13:41 3
      - "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." is a Napoleon quote. - Beryllium Jan 5, 14:27 1
        
        That was also Clinton’s theory in 2016. -- nm - spamlet Jan 5, 15:09
      - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 5, 13:44
  - Honestly, there's no need to interrupt the entertainment. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:40
- Liz Cheney -- nm - Jovian Jan 5, 13:23
- No his arch nemesis Hillary -- nm - Eag Jan 5, 13:15
- One of the pinheads has already voted for 45 -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 13:12 3

Have any of the 20 holdouts been swayed? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:07 7
- 212 Jeffries, 201 McCarthy, 17 Donalds, 3 Hern, 1 Present (Spartz) -- nm - Max Jan 5, 13:29 2
  - I'm seeing 200 McCarthy on the screen and I think they've lost a vote and no one has mentioned it. -- nm - mud Jan 5, 13:35 1
    - maybe someone left the house... this could be the back door way to elect jeffries (or Kevin if its demos that leave) -- nm - aud lang zeit Jan 5, 13:56
- Not since the 3rd round -- nm - Eag Jan 5, 13:09
- No. But some of them have switched their vote to a different Not Kevin McCarthy. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 13:07 2
  - Kevin Bacon could get it done. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 13:50
  - Too bad it's not Kevin Hart - Eag Jan 5, 13:09
Longest vote count in 164 years none of us were here well except George Santos cause he's immortal -- nm - Eag Jan 5, 13:03
oblique, do you need the autostart with a garage? - spamlet Jan 5, 12:59 5
- I almost never park in my garage (needs some organization honestly) but even when I did, remote start allowed butt heaters or air conditioning - judge amanda jones Jan 5, 13:03 4
  - I think I must be the only person who doesn't like the butt heater. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:43 2
    - I like it until it gets too hot. BUT I rented a Mustang a couple of years ago and it had a seat cooler that was AMAZING. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 5, 13:46 1
      - I'd TOTALLY do a seat cooler. I get too hot with the seat warmer in about 10 minutes. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:47
  - your ass wasn't hot enough already? -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 5, 13:04
speaking of office lunch, they ordered mediterranean in today and there's like five people actually here to eat for 25+ -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 5, 12:47 12
- What does mediterranean mean there? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:38 4
  - it means something different other places? -- nm - St. Epiphany Jan 5, 13:48 3
    - Heh. I mean, is it identifiably anything? Italian, lebanese, greek, etc. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:50 2
      - kebabs, pita, hummus, rice etc -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 5, 13:55 1
        
        hell, take some home. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:58
- Yum -- nm - prayformojo Jan 5, 13:05
- Put it up on DoorDash. Work that sidehustle -- nm* - budice Jan 5, 12:49
- now I want mediterranean for dinner. -- nm - judge amanda jones Jan 5, 12:49 1
  - there's plenty here -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 5, 12:49
- "'tis no man - 'tis a remorseless eating machine" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 12:48 2
  - Hunting? -- nm - Spawn Jan 5, 12:50 1
    - *walks in, sees the carnage, pulls out his spoon, starts to eat*. Probably my favorite Tribbiani moment. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:05
