Why would SBF fight extradition, given that bail was denied? Is a Bahamian jail really nicer than a US jail?

Genuinely don't know how this speaker mess is going to work out. I thought the insurrectionists would be backing Trump by now, but have decide TFG knows he can't actually get enough votes and doesn't want to take another L. At the same time, they don't seem to have actual demands that can be met, so it's hard for Kev to cave fast enough to bring this to an end.

The mistake that many people are making is believing that the insurrectionists have some set of substantive demands that could be met. They don't. Their conservatives is about performative opposition. Blocking McCarthy is the whole point. They are in Congress to make noise and a name for themselves, to position themselves to make money in the right-wing grift machine, not to legislate.

What if Bill Gates wasn't the one inserting micro-chips in our brains?

What if it was really Elon Musk all along?

If Pelosi can pick up a few saner R votes can she be speaker (or some other D)? I mean you just need a majority right?

It would be Jeffries (who would likely have a slightly easier time doing it too), but there aren't really people interested in that kind of career suicide and even if there were, seems like that coalition would fall apart pretty quickly once the legislating starts. Would be fun from my perspective, though.

This question and answer is a good example of Murc's Law. Hank suggests that Pelosi or some other Democrat might pick up a few GOP votes, as if how GOP Congressmen vote is something that a Democrat could control. He might instead ask, what could McCarthy offer Democrats to make him speaker without the support of the Freedom Caucus, a much more interesting question since it's something McCarthy could actually choose to do instead of what he has been doing. But that would violate Murc's Law.

Think of this as G3's law: always assume Republicans are complete fuckin morons.

Like this: Well, McCarthy might try to find a majority working with conservative dem... oh, wait, that would violate G3's law.

Or like this: McCarthy giving Gaetz a spotlight to clown in for the next two years might not be very sma.... oh, yes, G3's law.

I think Republicans like Gaetz are acting very rationally. He had leverage and used it. The mistake is in assuming that they are in Congress to legislate. People like Goetz and Boebert are using their positions to play to their base in a way that brings them power and money on the outside.

If McCarthy tried to find a majority working with Democrats instead of Republicans, he would be defenestrated quickly.

McCarthy did not give Gaetz a spotlight -- voters did that.

That's cool, but it looks like the Dechert lawyer was supporting the Penn student, not on the other side.

A team of good law students, with only one case to work on, probably writes a really good appellate brief.

It sounds like what the board needs is a little pick-me-up. Here is a non-exhaustive list of things Sebastian was wrong about, in descending order of egregiousness:

1. The spelling of Lil Jon’s name
2. They’ll never overturn Roe
3. No horns in rock - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To7q0cn0Fk4&t=11s
4. A president inciting a violent mob to storm the Capitol in order to prevent the certification of a fair election, and to hang those perceived as traitors, including his own vice president, was not a “threat to democracy”
5. That goldfish only have three second memories
6. That the cascading arpeggios of Coldplay’s Clocks somehow redeemed the song and made it transcend the banality of the Coldplay oeuvre
7. That P.J. O’Rourke was the next Hunter S. Thompson
8. The spelling of Hunter S. Thompson’s lawyer’s name

Given his rediscovery of psychedelics, I figure he is doing four days of darkness with Aaron Rogers or on a ayhuasca retreat.

He went way too into the weeds on Twitter execs. Hunter would’ve just said: “They’re slanted, they’re in bed with the feds. They’re so crooked and full of shit they need a servant to screw their pants on in the morning, and a team of them to truck away the shit between the pockets before bed.”

The “Twitter Files” might’ve been important, but sorry Matt - you can only be so boring.
