morning y’all
so this is where we stand

Senate does not appear to have the votes to open the door to witnesses tomorrow night. Collins and Romney for witnesses. Alexander opposed. Even if Murkowski is a yes, they don’t have the votes. 50-50 vote is a tie, which by rule, fails
@ rain of lead:
if utah is so ‘conservative’ as i’ve been told over and over again, how does romney get elected?
or have i been lied to all this time

Utah lawmaker files bill to allow recall of sitting U.S. senator
The lawmaker, Rep. Tim Quinn, R-Heber City, told the Deseret News in an interview Wednesday shortly after the bill was made public that it’s not meant to target any specific sitting Utah senator — but it comes amid heightened national attention on Sen. Mitt Romney, who has been among the few Republican senators publicly critical of President Donald Trump.

@ eaglesoars:
Sorry, it’s unconstitutional.
Senators and Representatives are federal office holders. There would have to be a Constitutional amendment to allow them to be recalled.
@ rain of lead:
And there’s nothing to say that Manchin and Jones will vote with the Dems on this. And it will be interesting to see if there are any Dems that vote against removal. That would mean that it was bi-partisan AGAINST impeachment and bi-partisan AGAINST removal.
But if you believe the MSM, voting against removal is somehow going to work against the sitting Senators up for re-election. I say the Senate says “now that you’ve given us some interesting particulars, we WILL be opening up an investigation on the Joe Biden quid pro quo re Ukraine.”
And I really don’t think Bolton has anything. He wanted to get huge preorders for his book and the impeachment hearing provided the forum to do so.
Oh, and did all y’all catch Nadler beating Schiffty to the podium to answer the last question of the night? “Jerry….Jerry….Jerry…” The WH counsel table was seriously trying to suppress laughter.
Personally, I think an errant piece of fried chicken was left on the podium and Jerry spotted it. I’m also amazed that Pencilneck didn’t spring to the podium AFTER Nadler left to start some sort of “in closing” remark so that he’d get the last word.
listening to Chris Plante while I was out running errands. He said he and his wife were out to dinner last nite w/Mr & Mrs Seb Gorkha and guess who else was having dinner there.
Jill Biden with Hunter’s ex wife AND – Michelle Obama
uh huh
And apparently MSNBC is reporting that Jimmy Carter’s economy was better than Trump’s. Or something
@ eaglesoars:
Yeah, that fabulous Carter economy – with home mortgage rates at what – 21%?

“Imagine Donald Trump deciding sometime in June, ‘Well, I heard this conspiracy theory that a lot of illegal immigrants voted in California, so I’ve decided that during the presidential election California has to undergo extreme vetting because we can’t trust their votes. We’re going to shut down voting in a state.’”
So look for massive voter fraud in Calif, enough to hold up the final count and cause more mayhem

@ eaglesoars:
They have vote harvesting. They’re making sure it’s geared up so that those 7 GOP seats they stole in the last election stay in Democrat hands. However, I am hearing there may be a challenge to the law.
Plus, the homeless problem and sanctuary city issues in California may have some effect on the elections. The sanctuary city concept does not enjoy majority popularity; hence it all had to be accomplished at the legislative level – it has NEVER been subjected to a vote. Trump could garner a greater percentage of the popular vote here in this state. No, it’s probably not in play electorally, but I think he could get a LOT more of the black/hispanic vote if he acknowledges the problems. Schiffty, Lieu and Mad Maxie are looking at contenders in their districts that are pointing out the real problems at home that these clowns have failed to address.
@ The Barbarian:
As I’ve said here…
I know peeps (lawyer and a data/stats guy who are on the trump gop team to harvest as well as really drum up votes. They are running boots on the ground nationally.
He started this in 2015 and its growing exponentially.

McConnell has the votes to end this today.
But he’s apparently going to let it stretch out until Wednesday which means Bernie, Warren, and Klobuchar will need to be in DC during the Iowa Caucuses.
That’s so savage.
Don’t forget that Trump will deliver his State of the Union address on Tuesday, in front of a crowd half-consisting of fully humiliated Democrats. Presumably, that’ll be one night before Cocaine Mitch has his chamber vote to acquit, but it’s SOTU so all the Democrats present will have to feign civility.

i’ve had to put the wok over wood fire to get the right heat for properly done szechuan and cantonese. no control tho. no control means failure when seconds count.

But one thing struck me. Whether they backed him in 2016 or were more recent converts, one factor that his supporters kept bringing up was their feeling that he had delivered on his promises in a way other elected officials have not.

Thanks for the link. Just an aside — haven’t been to HotAir in ages. Their censorship policies drove me away, especially after a very prolific poster was banned for making a comment regarding immigrants. … and when they went to facebook for their postings, I was turned off for good. Following your link, two things hit me: 1) They’ve gone to Disqus — that Fakebook think must not have worked out so well and 2) Only 16 comments on a HotAir thread. They are sucking wind.

Same reason Salt Lake has a radical leftist gay mayor. And why my home of Montana is considered “purple”. 100% turnout on the reservations, you know, the area where people are notoriously unmovotivated, yet somehow turn out 100% to vote democrat?
Voter fraud + smart redistricting by the dems that goes unchallenged by republicans terrified of being labled racist = liberal republicans and democrats being voted into office.
Montana is worse off than Utah, we keep voting in dems even though we are a majority republican state. The dems only control a small part of the state, but due to how the lines are drawn they are more important than what the republicans control.

Millions of surgical gowns made in China are being recalled because they may not be sterile. Surgeries are now being canceled in some hospitals.
Alan Levine, CEO of Ballad Health in Tennessee, said they had to reschedule 200 surgeries.
“We still don’t know if whether we’ve hit the worst of it or not,” Levine said.
