Type 1 [Missouri]@midwest.socialOPMtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Supreme Court rules states can't kick Trump off the ballot12·1 year agoFor all intents and purposes, I believe so. But one of the points that actually got a laugh in the oral arguments was how divided (ineffective) the Congress is.
Type 1 [Missouri]@midwest.socialto Team Fortress 2@lemmy.world•Is anyone having issues with the item servers?English1·1 year agoIt’s only affecting some users on some servers at some times of the day. I’ve noticed it since the update on the 8th or 9th. Seemingly completely arbitrary.

I can’t find a vote from him to decertify, but if you can I’ll throw him up there.

Type 1 [Missouri]@midwest.socialOPMtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•The 147 Republicans Who Voted to Overturn Election Results65·2 years agoI know that this information is years old, but as the GOP attempts to pick their new nominee for Speaker of the House, I find it important to note that most of their potential candidates are ones who objected to the 2020 Presidential results in one or both of Arizona and Pennsylvania.

House Republican supporters of a resolution to temporarily empower interim Speaker Patrick McHenry are working to maximize GOP votes and educate members about the effort. Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a chief Republican opponent of Jim Jordan’s speakership bid, said on Wednesday that the speaker designee would lose a “bigger chunk” of GOP floor votes on a third ballot. The 11-term South Florida congressman said he would “never” back Jordan for speaker.

We may very well see 3 indictments (2 more) by the end of the summer.
Edit: grammar

If we’re lucky in Missouri, we can get a good snow in November, and the weather is perfect for blue jeans and flannels. Spring is too humid and tumultuous and summer is a smoky sauna.

STL: “soda” or “sodie”
