Motion passes for the vote. Let the games begin!

10 Nays to NOT VOTE on a motion to vacate so far. McCarthy is cooked if the votes remain when the actual voting starts.

Sounds like we may have 6 votes (Gaetz and crew) at least to vacate from Rs. Including potential others who are unknowns.
Assuming all the Ds also vote then that would be enough to vacate.

Then what? Who knows~

Only a couple hundred more to go, but f*cking finally!

The economy overall might be fine, but the average person can still not be.

People don't care much about data and facts on unemployment and GDP when ultimately their personal situation is what matters. Things are more expensive and wages for a lot of people haven't kept up. Already have too many people think that no/less inflation means prices go down, when actually that just means prices stay the same or go up slower. Deflation is off the table cause that can be even worse.

Sadly, there isn't much that can be done beyond sticking to higher interest rates and letting the market adapt and catch up.

Not much the president can do either, especially with this congress. Even if it wasn't, the changes and effects would likely take years to even reach fruition. Let alone have a significant impact for most people if all goes according to plan.

We have seen this scenario play out before.

Well........I don't think so?

People love Morrigan from DA:O and she's pretty much a jackass. Made me want to pull my hair out at times, but there's a charm in that making a bad girl go soft in the end.

We shouldn't just slap or imply a "sexist" label when people don't like a character or not, although there's always going to be a variance.

Is there a good example or reason they say this or are they just guessing?

I definitely think some sort of residuals or compensation for reusing their voice AI should happen if they are profiting off of it.

That being said, I see a world in the very near future where voice actors don't even act out their lines and just say a number of things for recording to train an AI voiced version of themselves. Then directors/creators and just manipulate and use it as they please to create their product.

Some mods in games are getting this already, voiced Morrowind and the like, and I definitely seeing it as a boon. Voice acting has always been a weak point when it came to stuff like that as you can write/script/design the best you can but can lack decent/any voice acting.

Interested to see how things play out.

Ever since that crackpot Karamo took over it's been like this.

Big doners leaving, constant questions on budget and planning, "choosing" not to use their traditional headquarters after years of using it, bickering between county and state officials, dwindling money supply, and all she has to show for it is "I designed a new logo!"

If I were more of a tinfoil hat sort of guy I could've swore she was a plant to destroy the republican party from within.

This is not accounting for the bill also passed about migrants. Causing plenty of truckers and farmers to start to freak out as well.

But anything for the presidential seat eh pudding fingers?

Meanwhile Destanis' polling numbers keep stagnating or keep going down the more he opens his mouth.....

At this point might as well shelve the Halo series for a while and DEFINTELLY give it to somebody else that isn't 343 Studios....

Unfortanetally for everybody the greedy oil mogul is basically right. At least for the near future.

Just so much of the world runs on oil/fossil fuels that it's almost comical how reliant on them we are.

Plastic. Fertilizer. Transportation. Energy. Medicine.

Even if we can try and do replace it with green alternatives, it is going to take a massive change to get to where we need to be. Let alone for it to be cost effective and productive enough not to destabilize the entire world. We all saw how some reacted to higher gas prices.

But climate change is wrecking the world as we speak so.....dam. Destabilization either way. We took too long and dragged our feet. Ironically cause of the actions of oil's dark money and propaganda.

Ugh. It makes my head hurt.
