    Counterpoint: The insurrection caucus seems to realize that they really don't have any leverage and are trying to kick the can to September, so they can pack the budget and the debt ceiling standoff altogether:

    And then, they will have another gnomes underpants moment.

    The problem is, their own voters don't support this stuff

    David French pointed out a couple of weeks ago that this isn't 2011 with a tea party foaming at the mouth about deficits - those voters since moved on to MAGA and indeed were promised populist things by the GOP

    This stuff is wildly out of step with Trump voters

    Never forget: “Own da libz” is still central to their motivations…

    Same Senator complaining about fentanyl seizures up at the border complaining about lower unemployment rates in her state. They don't send their best.

    That's just because you aren't thinking outside the box.. You see, the reason why the unemployment rate dropped is because Biden killed so many Tennesseans with fentanyl.

    I'm so old (how old is he?) that I recall that The Outlaw Jersey Whale and former #1 Republican liar canceled the needed ARC tunnel to show that he was fiscawee responsible for a never-was-gonna-happen presidential run.

    Something must be going on with Biden since the last couple posts on Biden’s thread are about a guy who stopped being the governor of NJ in 2018

    wonder what could it be?

    No, injuries from entanglements in nets, lines for lobster and crab traps. Never saw anything about green energy projects. N

    https://www.wbur.org/news/2022/10/24/north-atlantic-right-whale-population-decline

    In fact, today lobstering and crabbing has ceased in Massachusetts Bay for next 3 months to reduce stress on Right whales. Lobstermen and grabbers have to pull their traps out of the water. Obviously they aren't happy.

    That appears to be a failed childbirth; probably was denied an abortion farther south...

    Gotta read the whole story, not just the headlines:

    So the problem started before the offshore wind energy exploration even started, but the mayors are blaming it for the problem.. Hmmmm..

    Indeed. Seems to me that some NJ mayors that are "concerned" about the impact windfarms 10-20 miles offshore will have on their ocean view are using an existing issue to slow it down.

    You can basically guarantee that the mayor of any resort town on the US Atlantic coast from NJ south is a Republican

    Did you even read the article you posted? It says nothing about Green Energy initiatives causing anything.

    You refute Chris' argument with an article that completely supports his statement.

    From the article (edit, I see @Yoshou already added this quote):
    Experts at NOAA said ship strikes and fishing gear entanglements are among the most common causes of death in humpback whales. The agency said the unusually high number of whale deaths among humpbacks dates back to 2016, before offshore wind energy exploration began in the Atlantic ocean.


    "While I am deeply concerned with the recent whale strandings, I also know we must base our decision making on science and data, not emotions or assumptions," Allison McLeod, policy director for the New Jersey League of Conservation Voters and a former professional mammal observer, said in a statement earlier this month. "It is therefore irresponsible to assign blame to offshore wind energy development without supporting evidence."

    You do not even receive a "nice try" on this nonsense.

    If there is scientific evidence that offshore wind farms ARE causing distress and discomfort to whales, I would be all in favor of not continuing with offshore wind farms.
