Authoritarian minority rule on full display in the Senate after Republicans successfully “vote down” the Bipartisan Jan-6 Commission by a tally of... 35 to 54.

That’s right, R’s “win” with 35 votes.

Can you imagine what Fox News would be saying if, in some “shithole” country, a wanna-be-strongman had fomented a mob insurrection to seize power? And then, after the effort failed, co-conspirators “won” a vote 35-to-54 to sweep the matter under the rug?

There's gossip that she's Stan Lane from the Midnight Express wrestling tag team of the 80's daughter.

Actually I didn’t know Bobby Eaton had died a couple of weeks ago until I started Googling about Stan Lane.

Non-political geographical question:  The Haiti earthquake, wouldn't the Dominican Republic also get quaked?  It's the same island.

It is a pretty big island, so there is plenty of distance for the effects to decrease.
