THE MORNING RANT: Bravo to the GOP Rebels If They Can Break The Congressional Seniority System; (plus a crazy alternative idea – “Reverse Seniority” )
The intra-party battle among Republicans over Kevin McCarthy’s divine, pre-ordained right to be Speaker of the House has not been something I’ve paid much attention to. I have no expectation that the GOP leadership will pursue an agenda that I care about - issues such as border security, fiscal restraint, accountability and consequences for rogue government officials, eliminating “omnibus” bills, requiring that bills actually be read, etc.
That said, my sympathies are with the 20 Republican rebels that Dan Crenshaw so charmingly slandered as “terrorists” because they choose to prioritize their constituents over the DC establishment. Then I read this tweet from Ben Domenech, and now I do care. If the 20 Republican rebels can shake up the Congressional seniority system before coronating McCarthy or an equivalent “surrender caucus” Republican as Speaker, then something significant will have been accomplished.
“Leapfrogging” By the way, this post is not about beating up on Ben Domenech. His “protect the establishment from newly elected activists” tweet just reminded me of something I have periodically meant to write about, specifically, how destructive the Congressional seniority system is, and how it undermines the constitutional intent of Representatives being equal in Congress. By the way, I am well aware that Article 1 Section 5 of the Constitution states that “Each house [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its Proceedings.” Fine. Does that mean it would be OK if Congress made a rule that when voting on bills, each Congressman’s vote is weighted based on his tenure, such that a first-term Congressman’s vote has only one-tenth the weight of a 10-term Congressman’s vote? Or, if the House can make its own rules, can it completely deny to newly elected members of Congress the right to vote on bills? Can the House make a rule that only when a member is on, say, his 3rd term does he accrue the right to cast a representative vote on behalf of his constituents? That would be unthinkable, right? Well, why then is it accepted that only long-tenured Congressmen may be appointed to Committee chairmanships, where they have elevated powers to determine how bills will be written and which bills will be voted on? One of the primary arguments for Term Limits is that it would push out of Congress those who have risen to powerful positions, allowing turnover in both that specific seat, and in the positions of power the termed-out Congressman held. I enthusiastically support Term Limits in Congress – preferably no more than 12 years in either house of Congress. Of course, it would take a Constitutional Amendment to bring it about, which requires 38 states to ratify the amendment, so it’s not easy. But with 50 statehouses full of legislators who look in the mirror and see a future Congressman, wouldn’t they be doing themselves a favor if they passed such an amendment, since that would guarantee that every seat in Congress would have to come open within 12 years? But a Term Limit amendment will probably never be passed. So here’s a completely outrageous idea that has no chance of ever happening, but if it did, it would certainly incentivize senior members of Congress to retire… Reverse Seniority: The more time a Representative spends in Congress, the less power he has. Since the House can set its own rules, how about if it establishes these rules based on Congressional tenure: • No Committee Chairmanships after 10 years (5 terms) in Congress.
• No Sub-Committee Chairmanships after 12 years (6 terms).
• Barred from all committee membership after 14 years (7 terms). Once a Congressman started his 8th term he would be a powerless back bencher until he finally relinquished his seat. As a powerless backbencher he’d be under considerable pressure to relinquish his seat. Preposterous? Maybe. But it’s no more ridiculous than our current system which punishes the electorate if they dare to replace existing Congressional fossils with new blood. (buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com)

Even more than term limits, I'd like to see age limits. I don't think either is feasible, but destroying the "tenure" system where you just get better power and perks based on how long you've been hanging on would go a long way. What we really need is to make staying in office until you literally die of old age less attractive.

The problem is that Congressional leadership is based on how much money a member raises for their respective caucus.
It isn't about seniority as much as it is about how much money they raise for other members' campaigns. Limit that and you limit the hyper-partisan leadership that emerges.

I would say the fair way to distribute leadership seats is to have dick measuring contests or hammerfights in underwear. The later has already been implemented by the former Speaker. This would likely bar Nadler from any committe and cause Lindsey to run for a House seat.

how destructive the Congressional seniority system is, and how it undermines the constitutional intent of Representatives being equal in Congress.
==
The entire corrupt system is predicated on a few gaining positional superiority over a majority and the main way of doing that is via seniority and control of committee assignments, offices (literal offices) etc. If you give one person that kind of power, it is much easier to corrupt that person. These 20 odd some people are doing the right thing. The system is utterly corrupt and if it does not self correct through some similar mechanism, it will be corrected by outside efforts. That is what has been happening, is slowly escalating ways since the Tea Party. That is why they are hammering Jan 6th. They know it is coming and want to stop it.

There lies the rub. The GOPe doesn't want actual conservatives in serious committees, so they give them lesser posts where they do nothing. You'll rarely get a Gaetz or a Boebert into one of these sweet position, because the Speaker will almost always deny it.
Also, Domenech is a worm. He's basically GOPe.

They say the same thing about term limits. McConnell always says we don't need term limits because you can always be voted out.
Except you can't, especially with someone with so much power and money. McConnell will never be voted out of office - and everyone else in Congress - because most candidates don't have that kind of money.

Ceded our manufacturing base to China

I like your reverse seniority idea in that like you said it would alleviate the need for even having term limits. If a state knew that its representative's power would diminish to zero over time it would act accordingly.
Because it makes sense and would have a positive impact on the country as a whole they would never allow it to come to pass.

If there's anyone that deserves to be at the head of the republican table, it's the longest serving members of Congress who have:
Ballooned the debt
Destroyed federal elections
Lost control to an "opposition" party that outright supports kid fucking and genital mutilation
Excelled in importing illegals by the millions
Financially supported outright foreign enemies
Ceded our manufacturing base to China
==
if "by the head of the table" you mean first in line for indictments and military trials, sure.

I've recently come to believe the seniority narrative is another fig leaf. It is a thing that happens. It does effect outcomes.
But even taking that into account, it doesn't explain Pelosi or Mitch. They are preposterous figures.
When I just look with my eyes at the two of them and not the narrative I have been taught, they are ridiculous and impossible.
No amount of institutional deference can explain how a drunken furious mentally and emotionally incompetent 80+yr old Harridan can bully her way around ferociously ambitious 50 yr olds. She's feeble.
Institutional deference can't explain it. It just can't. It has to be something else.
How does that woman inspire the fear she does? It isn't because other pols just shrug and say "them's the rules".
Same with McCain etc etc.

Megan McCain's house boy really doesn't have anything to add, unless the dead can claim seniority, too. If they can, let's try his FIL's corpse for the mess in Ukraine.

But what is the end game here? Who do they want to be Speaker instead?
Look, as much as I love that Donald Trump once again looks weak and ineffective when the guy he endorses goes down in flames, I dont think this helps move the ball for conservatism to show the world we obviously cant govern if we cant even do something easy like pick a Speaker.

Fine. Does that mean it would be OK if Congress made a rule that when voting on bills, each Congressman’s vote is weighted based on his tenure, such that a first-term Congressman’s vote has only one-tenth the weight of a 10-term Congressman’s vote?
Or, if the House can make its own rules, can it completely deny to newly elected members of Congress the right to vote on bills? Can the House make a rule that only when a member is on, say, his 3rd term does he accrue the right to cast a representative vote on behalf of his constituents?
While the body can decide its own rules, I think this would violate the constitution by negating a given state's equal representation in congress.

I actually don't much care about who is Speaker. It shouldn't be McCarthy - he needs to be punished for what he did in 2022 - but beyond that it isn't hugely relevant. What this battle is doing is showing the petulance and arrogance of a bunch of worthless dickheads in a way that cannot be ignored. This is directly harmful to the GOP establishment because it shows the Establishment for what it is: weak, vain, foolish and incompetent. The longer it goes on, the better.

But I do really like the reverse seniority thing: it would encourage longer term congressmen to retire, discourage reelecting your stupid or insane congressman for their 60th term in office, and keep voters more in charge of what is happening by allowing replacement congressmen to move into positions of power.
I'd say for the house it should be 2nd term on, though, with the first term being "getting to know the ropes".

When the bluff fails, Fonzie says "Oh, yeah. I left one part out. For this to work, you have to have actually hit someone once in your life." Maybe this is the bloody nose that will make future fights less bloody.

A couple of possibly relevant observations:
Does anyone remember Occupy Wall Street with their human microphones and uptwinkles? At one point they declared that their decisions would be "consensus based", requiring 90% approval for any measure to pass. The result, of course, was that a small 10.5% minority held effective veto power.
The one-time president of our local medical society was fond of saying, "I think I speak for all of us in this room." as a pre-emptive strike against dissent.

For those of us who don't do math in our heads, that was 29 years ago. 29 actual years, not Horde years, although it seems much longer.
I support both term and age limits. I also support installing a trap door into the DC sewer system underneath each desk in Congress, which may be activated by a simple majority vote of the critter's constituents.

'You want efficient government, that can govern strongly ? You've got it now.'
I want efficient representation that beats the f#$& out of my enemies every now and then.
Balance between those for me and those against me would necessarily result in weak government.

Ponder how efficient, the senile drunken hag Pelosi was, and Mr. Pen and a phone.
Its the uniparty. Politics is a script. What has happened is what they want to have happen. Except Trump. And you saw how they reacted to that. There are only small numbers of non -compromised officials in govt. The puppet theater is designed to keep you coming back to kick the football but Lucy is always going to pull it away.

110 But what is the end game here? Who do they want to be Speaker instead?
---------------
My guess it is McCarthy. What they are bargaining over is the terms of his Speakership. McCarthy's problem is how to make the 20 happy without losing another 20. This is bartering. Its what should be going on throughout the House and Senate and White House. That it hasn't been doing this is why we're in the shithole controlled by Oligarchs and IC.

I can't figure out why so few prominent people agree with us on the most basic obvious shit. I'm thinking a lot of it must be the consequences of doing so - or of not doing so.
I mean when most of us grew up it seemed that just about everyone agreed on the basics.
I genuinely think a lot of it is down to emotional manipulation and mind control. They figured out how to make zombies and are now just having fun with it.

So you're saying that this is not the hill to die on? No, it probably isn't. But I'm remembering a scene from Happy Days (stay with me here) where Fonzie advises Richie to face down a tough guy. When the bluff fails, Fonzie says "Oh, yeah. I left one part out. For this to work, you have to have actually hit someone once in your life." Maybe this is the bloody nose that will make future fights less bloody.

Massachusetts State Police on Wednesday
This week has been a difficult one in the Massachusetts Law Enforcement community.
Three active-duty Law Enforcement Officers, all from South Shore communities, passed away suddenly within the last seven days. One of whom, 25-year-old Officer John F. Santos of The Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, would have been a member of the Massachusetts State Police 88th Recruit Training Troop. He would have undoubtedly served a long and distinguished career with this department.
Makes me sick. I think "Died Suddenly" is the main cause of death in under 65 yr olds.

I actually don't much care about who is Speaker. It shouldn't be McCarthy - he needs to be punished for what he did in 2022 - but beyond that it isn't hugely relevant. What this battle is doing is showing the petulance and arrogance of a bunch of worthless dickheads in a way that cannot be ignored. This is directly harmful to the GOP establishment because it shows the Establishment for what it is: weak, vain, foolish and incompetent. The longer it goes on, the better.

So Trump's pick for Speaker is the "Establishment"?
I actually agree with that, just wanted to say it out loud.
My problem with all of this thoguh is the "rebels" dont have an alternative plan or candidate.
Also, I have much bigger issues with McConnell than I do McCarthy. If this was happening to McConnell, I would be all about it.
I just think this stunt in the House probably sidelines anything real happening for the next two years, including investigations.

I always enjoy the "who else you gonna get" comments.
Let me tell you, when my ex-wife came in in a drunken coke-binge and hit me over the head with an alarm clock as I slept, I didn't know who else I was gonna get.
I just knew I was not gonna stay with that psychotic bitch anymore.
The GOP dissenters are sick and tired of sell-out Kevin McCarthy. It doesn't matter who replaces him, but it isn't gonna be him.
Now you can hand-job him all you want and say he's all we got, but you're gonna need to get another Speaker candidate, because NeverKevin ain't budging.

P.S. I went on my first government mandated plastic bag-free shopping excursion to the supermarket yesterday.
=================
on a similar note of government making decisions for people, I plugged my phone in to recharge the battery while visiting the Boston area last weekend and got a popup message saying "recharging would be delayed until lower emission sourced electricity is available". In other words, my battery charging would occur not when I wanted it, but when some asshole bureaucrat decided the virtue signaling could end.
Frickin amazing.

The idea that the GOP can run a competent investigation in the House is a joke.
They've been running "investigations" for years against Obama, and they could never string a series of questions together to make a case. It was all ad hoc and random with a heavy dose of yelling at unfireable bureaucrats.
Save me the calls for investigations.

Jim Crow lasted for 60 years largely because of denial of the right to vote, which was a federal right under the 15th Amendment.

McConnell is the greater evil. He won his fight.
And nothing will happen for two years anyway. If they get the deal they want, maybe they can at least keep the Ukraine grift from continuing and get a couple of reforms through. Unlikely, but at least distantly possible.
Investigations are irrelevant. Congressional investigations are pointless. Everyone lies, Congress has no authority and nothing comes of it or will ever come of it. They can "refer" whatever they want to the DoJ and the DoJ will ignore it. The only point of a congressional investigation is to grab headlines, but the press will just make fun of them and call them racists and oppressors.

241 When the Republican party in Illinois was first starting out, they had more quality people than slots so it was their rule to limit Congressional terms to one term to allow all their people to get a chance at the level of house of Representatives. This is why Lincoln served only one term.

Lincoln ran as a Whig in 1847. The only Whig elected from Illinois that year, IIRC

on a similar note of government making decisions for people, I plugged my phone in to recharge the battery while visiting the Boston area last weekend and got a popup message saying "recharging would be delayed until lower emission sourced electricity is available". In other words, my battery charging would occur not when I wanted it, but when some asshole bureaucrat decided the virtue signaling could end.

But, yes - the investigations are the most risible part.

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg defended his air travel on private government jets despite the climate impact of doing so by arguing that doing so saves taxpayers money and this fact makes it different from former HHS Secretary Tom Price’s actions.
.. how does this work ? Unless you get at least half a dozen folks on the plane, it most certainly always costs more for the private jet. Besides, isn't taking private jets some sort of emolument .. bribe, etc. ?

There have only been two recorded events of great violence in banana and Mrs. banana's history.
There was the time I was trying to figure out something with oven racks while my wife was holding open the door. She slipped and closed the oven door on my head. It hadn't been on and it didn't hurt at all.
Then there was the time I was being a clown and tried to kick a shoe off to catch, like a boss, but instead, it launched up and hit her in the face. Not hard but enough to startle her. It was all about 25 years ago.
I like the oven door one because it sounds more menacing. But she tells a better story about the shoe. Anyway, whatever happens, we always go back to, but you kicked me in the face, or but you shut my head in an oven door. Sorry about not rinsing off my dish there but remember the time you tried to off me with the oven door? That sort of thing.

Anyway, whatever happens, we always go back to, but you kicked me in the face, or but you shut my head in an oven door. Sorry about not rinsing off my dish there but remember the time you tried to off me with the oven door? That sort of thing.

They would not be in the resistance group if they feared kompromat. Investigations will be painful, expensive, oppressive and evil but will likely turn up nothing. Just like with Trump.
My biggest suspicion in all of this is that there are only 20 members of congress who are confident that the deep state dossiers on them won't make for compelling reasing.

The latter is more likely the truth. Gaetz in particular is pissed because a Fla GOPe type into pedo shit tried to leverage his deal by dragging Gaetz into it. Plus, some other former FBI piece in a Fla shit lawfirm tried to blackmail him. Boebert has also been through the wringer with repeated insults thrown at her by her own party. Others are in pretty secure districts.

It has more to do with application and need than the bare existence. Makeup can make a woman look pretty or make her look slutty, depending on how much and how its used. A teenage girl does NOT need makeup.

So they, she simply would have said, “Well, the House is in recess. We’re going to wait.” She would not have had ten votes, which is what we’re at as we speak right now. And when you go down, and incidentally, there is a possibility that they have to keep voting because they, Kevin McCarthy may not have enough votes to adjourn till tomorrow.

I disagree. Excise taxes in particular were expressly conceived at the Convention as indirect taxes. It is just that people west of the Appalachians in PA did not want to pay the duly passed taxes. For the most part, those taxes were to pay down state Revolutionary War debts that were assumed by the national government and those incurred by the national government itself.
Read Hylton v. US (1796) which also deals with excise taxes btw for how taxes were to be assessed under the Constitution. More of the Framers were in that Supreme Court or in the Congress that passed those taxes than at any time since then.

Another good reason to force them to back down on McCarthy (whatever cuck they select doesn't matter) is that it's a WIN, and in a razor-thin majority.
After that, these 20 can make the GOP cowards their bitches for the next two years. Anytime the base isn't getting its way - threaten to vote present, or even with the Dems.
Give them a huge dose of their own cunty medicine. See how much they like how it tastes. Because it tastes like ass.

Another good reason to force them to back down on McCarthy (whatever cuck they select doesn't matter) is that it's a WIN, and in a razor-thin majority.
After that, these 20 can make the GOP cowards their bitches for the next two years. Anytime the base isn't getting its way - threaten to vote present, or even with the Dems.
They know this. That's why they're fighting so hard.

Ease up on the condescension.
That wasn't condescension. It was irritation. I respect Boebert I respect the hold outs. I don't think she needs to her show her cleavage to have a principled stand. I think she shows her cleavage because that's her regular style of dress.

I disagree. Excise taxes in particular were expressly conceived at the Convention as indirect taxes.
Imagine selling that bullshit to the colonists asked to support a Rebellion. You're not fighting for Freedom, old boy. You're fighting for the right to pay excise taxes.
Hell - I would have stayed loyal to the Crown. Better one tyrant across an ocean than thousands of tyrants here.

The way the establishment views this vote is hilarious and telling. Take this tweet:
"In the tenth vote for House Speaker, there have been over 5 Republican defections, meaning that Kevin McCarthy, again, does not have the votes needed to become Speaker."
See the presumption here? Its not a dissent, its DEFECTION to not vote for McCarthy. You're abandoning the proper and holy course of action to select him.

What's *really* funny about the CO plastic ban ban is that the charge for paper bags is is a handout to the stores and retailers the bill has pissed off by making the customers pissed off. From HB20-1163:
A store or retail food establishment, on or after July 1, 2021, may furnish recyclable carryout bags to customers at a charge of at least 10 cents per customer, which amount the store or establishment may retain in full, unless a local government's ordinance or resolution prohibits the store or establishment from retaining the full charge.
So make plastic bags illegal, mandate charging for paper bags, let the business keep those dimes extracted from the customer as a payoff, and provide a revenue reservoir for local governments to seize in the future once the initial rage is gone.
I am *so* glad I got out of that state.

Students have accused university chiefs of "greenwashing" them in a protest over a £24,000 statue of Greta Thunberg.
Protestors gathered on the University of Winchester campus to accuse the "upper echelons" of buying "meaningless statues", instead of making concrete climate commitments.
The Hampshire university spent £23,760 on what it claims to be the first life-sized sculpture of the "inspirational" Swedish environmental activist.
Bosses told students that they hoped the bronze figure showed "commitment to combat the climate and ecological emergency".

I don't like term limits, but I've toyed with the idea of an increasing margin of victory for each reelection. So a congressman who wins his first election with 50%+1 would have to win reelection with 51%+1, and then 52%+1, etc. This wouldn't get rid of safe red or blue seats, but would increase turnover and would increase the cost of gerrymandering a safe district to protect a long time rep.

They really fvcked us over in PA with a ballot question on age limits for the state judiciary. It was worded in such a way that many of us voted the opposite of what we wanted, which was to limit their service to age 70. So of course the a-holes were voted extra time on the bench and the ruination of PA continues apace.

The good news is America is so financially screwed by uncle sam we really only have 5 or 10 years left regardless.
In 5 years we should have about 40T of debt, medicare and social security paying out more than they take in, likely 500b a year in just interest on the debt, and we'll probably have at least 5% inflation annually until then.
Then when the californiazation of America is complete , there will never be another R in office again anyway

Shay's rebellion is a very complicated situation sort of like the Whiskey rebellion where both good and ill can be found on both sides.
Economically, whiskey was the cheapest way to transport grain surplus to the more populated east rather than grain itself. Plus, the excise tax had to be paid before the booze was sold so it fell on the sellers to get recompense from the buyers upon sale leading to black market whiskey having a benefit.
Shay's Rebellion dealt in part with a division in the state between Boston and rural West Mass where speculators in Boston bought up property liens for unpaid taxes. The US itself went into a Depression after the war ended and there was a surplus in agri goods suddenly depressing prices to the point where farmers were going broke and could not pay their property tax levies.

I support the uni here because a sculptor is closer to an actual working dude / dudette than the faceless bureaucrats the greenys want the money to go to.
Plus it gives us something to pull down and destroy.

442 "In 5 years we should have about 40T of debt, medicare and social security paying out more than they take in, likely 500b a year in just interest on the debt, and we'll probably have at least 5% inflation annually until then."
When the hyperinflation hits that will be another excuse to go to all-digital (Social Credit/Panopticon State, TM) currency. Much easier to add extra zeros in the digital format.

FTX made it unlikely to go crypto simply because people will bypass it via barter which is almost impossible to monitor.
The current economics of Greece are an example. Think about 40-50 percent of the economy occurs under the table there to avoid taxes and the entire society does it so any mandates even from the German bankers for increased taxes and austerity is simply sidestepped.
The point is, the elites actually have a lot more to lose if the rule of law goes south than the plebes.

449 And nobody has explained what the hell a cock shaped mouth is except that it's a mouth that someone has if you think they're gay. Is there some sort of diagram for this without names and recognizable faces? Here we have a sad person. You can tell by their downturned mouth. Here we have a mad person? You can tell by their frowing. Here we have a gay person. You can tell by their cock shaped mouth.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at January 06, 2023 12:24 PM (D+F6R)
It is not cock shaped. The alleged gay mouth is pouty and down turned at the edges. Hard to explain in words. AI has repeatedly identified homosexual men via face recog technology at a shockingly high rate of accuracy.
NB I believe in phrenology.

well, if you are an extremely literal person, you have trouble with the type of figurative lingo that is used not uncommonly here. I mean literally, "cock-shaped" mouth, literally doesn't make sense. But "cock holster", (AOS style book) shaped evokes both the literal and figurate meanings.

I like the oven door one because it sounds more menacing. But she tells a better story about the shoe. Anyway, whatever happens, we always go back to, but you kicked me in the face, or but you shut my head in an oven door. Sorry about not rinsing off my dish there but remember the time you tried to off me with the oven door? That sort of thing.

In the '90s, Miss Linda and I were hiking in a small state park in CO. We were on a mild slope, and she began to slip. I got myself below her and tried to keep her from falling. We pinwheeled down a few yards and jarred to a stop with me on the bottom. She was fine; I had a bruised rib.
To this day she still refers to it as "That time you tried to kill me."

Recycle my dear sir. Recycle the statue in order to be green. You spur the economy by making a statue in order to recycle it and repeat as necessary. Of course, you have a bit of a problem given that the energy required for creation and recycling is not present locally so you will have to ship the broken pieces to China or India in order for them to dump them in the sea.
That is how the virtuous cycle of greeness works. We hire others to take away our garbage.

It was also common in the early nation for redistricting to not happen often enough to match the actual flow of population, especially when some of that flow was illegal into Indian country. Some of that was inertia and inevitable, but often it was a way for the entrenched coastal areas to maintain political power and thus oppressive.
In the run up to the ACW Virginia hadn't redistricted in some thirty years, so that West VA and inland counties had 2/3 of white male population while tidewater had 2/3 or more of the elected representatives. This was no small part of allowing VA to secede at all, and the major reason why far West VA decided to break away for good.

Yes redistricting was a sore point in the original colonies and up until late in the Articles Congress, there was a conception that the States would simply create their own colonies in the West by some. The two things that the Articles Congress did accomplish was ratifying the Peace Treaty of Paris recognizing US independence and the Northwest Ordinances that allowed new states to enter the Union on the basis of equality to the old.

He didn't split it, the legitimate government of Virginia did. The one formed by the majority of white males in the far west in 1861 in Wheeling. Lincoln would have been fine with that remaining the government for the entire state, but the locals did. If you are going by the Southern view that secession is a thing, then you can't argue of a loyal government being set up being illegal. If you go by the Northern view of it being not a thing, then if all the members go into rebellion nothing wrong with reforming the state government to execute the laws.
