randon31415 , (edited ) in Kevin McCarthy is ousted as House speaker in a historic vote pushed by conservatives

Anyone know who are the 5 most liberal republicans in the house are and if they want to just come over to the side that wants to govern?

Edit: According to a list I found online, those would be: -Fitzpatrick, Brian (PA-1) -Van Drew, Jeff (NJ-2) -Lawler, Mike (NY-17) -Chavez-DeRemer, Lori (OR-5) -Smith, Chris (NJ-4)

I’m never heard of any of them.

teruma ,

I’m never heard of any of them.

That’s probably a good thing Do you want any that you have heard of to be speaker?

frezik ,

As the current situation stands, I’d be suspicious of anyone who would willingly take the job.

ShaggySnacks ,

Interesting tidbit of information, in Britain the leaders of the Government and Opposition will drag who was ever voted as Speaker to the Speaker’s Chair.

It was the Speaker’s job to tell the Monarch what the House of Commons wanted. If the Monarch didn’t like what the Speaker said, no more Speaker.

Maybe the US needs to adopt that tradition.

Or go the way of the Wicker Man, just burn some random congress member to appease the Speakership God.

jesuiscequejesuis ,

Van Drew ran as a Democrat and then flipped parties after Trump’s impeachment. I wouldn’t trust him as far as you could throw him.

randon31415 ,

Must be why he had a high history of voting with democrats.

lntl , in Journalist Who Won Courage Award for Her Ukraine War Reporting Goes Missing

This is unfortunate, but she knew what the risks of this type of work in this region are. It’s likely being imprisoned in war time for spying is a severe experience. I hope she found and without life changing injury.

FireTower , in Inside the anti-LGBTQ effort to put Christianity back in schools
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

The extent religion should be mentioned in schools is when discussing major world religions practiced by different groups in social studies and when it played a relevant role in a historical event (like the puritans going to America).

homesweethomeMrL , in Capitol rioter who attacked Reuters cameraman and police officer gets more than 4 years in prison

While free on bond conditions for the Jan. 6 case, Woods was pulled over for speeding but drove off and fled from law enforcement. Woods was drunk and driving in the wrong direction down a highway in Springfield, Illinois, when his pickup truck slammed into a car driven by 35-year-old Lauren Wegner, authorities said. Wegner was killed, and two other people were injured in the crash

The best people.

acceptable_pumpkin ,

This is why he should have been in jail. Violent crimes (like trying to overthrow the government) should never be eligible for bond/bail.

thepianistfroggollum ,

The problem is that innocent people charged with violent crimes will sit in jail for months or years awaiting trial.

LemmysMum ,

If something as simple as considering public video evidence of the direct action can’t be used to determine bail then why have a bail system in the first place.

Custoslibera ,

Being a traitor should make you eligible for the death sentence.

maybe. eh. the car company probably has better lawyers.

cmbabul ,

Yeah but the focus will be on the driverless car, I’m not saying they are blameless, just that the general heat and attention will probably not be on them now

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Im not sure that is a problem.

Autonomous vehicles are still mostly half baked, and the question of liability of who gets the blame hasn’t even preheated the oven.

The reality is company’s like waymo are using their cars in SF precisely to harvest training data because they can’t finish it without real world data- the physical driving a car is easy; interacting with humans is not.

JoBo ,

Why? Hit and run is a serious offence and the driverless car has it all on camera.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, but the general public are morons who tend to blame the wrong thing.

JoBo ,

What have the general public got to do with it? This is a criminal offence, not a viral bit of gossip.

Hillock ,

The general public is irrelevant here. If it weren't for the self driving car the hit and run wouldn't even have made the news. If it all this makes it worse for the driver.

And I don't think there is a wrong party to blame. Both are equally fucked up.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@kbin.social avatar

If it weren't for the self driving car the hit and run wouldn't even have made the news.

That is exactly the kind of thing I am talking about.

FireTower ,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Perhaps he’s implying that due to the second car it may obfuscate if the first driver’s actions would have been lethal or just left the person injured. He’d probably rather be tried for a hit and run resulting in injury than a hit and run resulting in a death.

nocturne213 ,

One of my son’s coworkers was just killed in a similar incident. Woman hits a pedestrian, she freaks out and calls her boyfriend instead of emergency services, boyfriend arrives and runs over the injured pedestrian ensuring he was dead.

They are unsure which vehicle actually killed him.

Cupid’s arrow was dead on target however.

I hope both of them are getting brought up on first degree murder charges for that.

    Let me share a piece of advice I heard from my father:

    “It’s not a problem, we should really be worried about why NASA is covering up planet X”

    Checkmate climate anxiety. Your move…

    wildginger ,

    For the life of me, I cannot grasp what you intended by this.

    tacosplease ,

    I think it’s making fun of their father. Sounds like something my family would say unironically.

    floofloof ,

    I hope they find planet X because it might attract Elon Musk.

    PhlubbaDubba ,

    youtu.be/nz2OOcPJxcU?si=Uj5yxxFWIgOihvL5

    So the truth is less they’re hiding it and more a combination of “we can’t see shit!” and “we have no idea how big or far away this thing would have to be to even begin looking for it!”

    magnetosphere , in Tulsa mom pleads guilty to allowing 12-year-old daughter to get pregnant by grown man
    @magnetosphere@kbin.social avatar

    How is this going to work out legally for the girl and her baby? The girl isn’t even old enough to have her own bank account. Is she old enough to make parental decisions for her baby? Will the state take the baby away from her?

    As terrible as it is, I wonder if that might be for the best.

    icedterminal ,

    From the many times I’ve seen this type of incident on the news (unfortunately), they usually place the baby in the care of relatives first if possible.

    jasondj ,

    If theres a responsible relative who wants their nieces/granddaughters/cousins rapists baby…sure.

    DogMuffins ,

    I think most people would at least consider it. Ultimately the child is innocent, and related to you by blood. Totally understandable that the mother may not want to raise a child like resulting from rape, but for the rest of the family the relationship to the child is the same as any other niece or cousin or whatever.

    Fisk400 ,

    The baby of a rapist is still just a baby and I believe that most people consider them equally deserving of care as any other baby.

    aceshigh ,
    @aceshigh@lemmy.world avatar

    the baby didn’t do anything wrong, and deserves to be loved and cared for just like any other baby.

    joel_feila ,
    @joel_feila@lemmy.world avatar

    states do prefer kinship adoption as a first option.

    ProfessorPuzzleCode ,

    The State will take the baby. I guess there are no good outcomes here. I expect both children are currently in care.

    magnetosphere ,
    @magnetosphere@kbin.social avatar

    Yeah, a “good” outcome is unrealistic. I think the best we can hope for is the “least terrible” outcome.

    A_Random_Idiot ,

    The good outcome would have been someone shooting the mother and the rapist before they traumatized the poor kid.

    TopRamenBinLaden ,

    I feel terrible for agreeing with this, but it’s true. This poor little girl literally would have been less traumatized if someone just killed her parents.

    Mlemm , in Over 60 percent of Gen Z have an anxiety disorder

    Is it really a disorder if it’s just a normal response to circumstances?

    TechyDad ,
    @TechyDad@lemmy.world avatar

    I’m Gen X, not Gen Z, but I think it’s definitely a normal response to circumstances. Retirement has gone from “something I’m going to do someday” to “suddenly on the horizon.” However, my finances aren’t lining up with how much I need to have to retire. (I’m not alone. I saw an article recently that said under 20% of Gen X-ers have enough saved to retire.)

    I’m definitely feeling anxious about this. I don’t want to be 80 and working a full time job so that I can pay my monthly bills because my bank account ran dry and the Boomers wiped out Social Security.

    Bonskreeskreeskree ,

    It’s going to take everyone going to the streets and demanding social security reform. Americans need to stop being so complacent

    Madison420 ,

    Good luck, the time to do that was when you were 18. At this point you’ll be fighting against the people who won’t benefit and the people who probably would benefit but certainly don’t want to pay for it.

    Trixie0383 ,

    Death in service of [insert country] is it’s own reward! Life in failure of [insert country] is it’s own damnation. /s

    Chunk ,

    If someone is so addicted to social media that it caused intense mental harm then they get what they deserve.

    These dopamine addicted cocaine-rats who can’t stop scrolling do not have my sympathy.

    Before you have a meltdown, we often hold religious followers accountable for their religion’s fuckery but we never hold social media addicts for their own behavior. Dumb.

    floofloof ,

    It’s a disorder if it gets in the way of your making profits for your masters.

    PhlubbaDubba ,

    Common and normal and valid response doesn’t mean healthy

    Body temperature increase is a normal reaction to a viral infection, doesn’t mean you won’t die if the temperature keeps rising until you’re cooked through like a ham though

    MagicShel , in Tulsa mom pleads guilty to allowing 12-year-old daughter to get pregnant by grown man

    How do you have an entire fucking family show up for a baby shower and not one god damn person says a thing? How do these people show up at a hospital with a pregnant 12 year old thinking this was going to have a happy ending?

    That’s some George Costanza shit right there. “Was I not supposed to impregnate 12 year olds? Because I had no idea. I mean if someone had told me that was frowned on around here, I never would’ve done it.”

    givesomefucks ,

    The rapist was at the hospital for delivery and proudly told everyone he was the dad, even the police that the hospital called…

    Cops said even after he was in the cop car he didn’t understand why he was being arrested.
