I am increasingly confused by what the hell Nancy Mace stands for.

She's acting like she's having a mental break. Bizarre.

My only guess is that she's embracing Gaetz, Jordan and the crazy MAGA stuff so she can fund raise for re-election. The Scarlet A t shirt was really weird and stupid.

Her critique of Scalise from 20 years ago is obvious bull shirt. Since she presumably voted for Scalise just fine to be majority leader.

Her current support for Jordan is hilarious and even a higher level of total BS.

“Act as if”

Reports are McCarthy might slide back in.

... that would be the absolute most fitting (and embarrassing) end result for the republiCONs.

And it would be fun to watch him f**k Gaetz up with every ounce of influence he would have at that point. Even Youth would have to acknowledge his popcorn gif is perfect for that moment.

Maybe she's advocating for Adultery, & announcing her availability.

I guess that’s it if all were getting going forward is who can be the bigger jerk for money. I wondered if it was her getting sucked into the spotlight and attention and becoming a media … https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2dNeIAxll2A

I know a lot of thoughtless folks are running around this country but at what point does fundraising by dbaggery while accomplishing nothing of value to anyone create fatigue in our citizenry? How much blood can be sucked from the stones of the poor and dumb they are taking the money from (often for personal expenses and luxuries just run through PAC slush funds)?

I mean is it really inconceivable if Trump won hed throw a Caligula style “forced” orgy with Boebert, MTG, Mace, Lady G, Sarah Palin, etc?

Her district just got gerrymandered from swing to MAGA. Pretty much explains her behavioral change. In addition, she's another moronic politician who just LOVES to be on TV talking mumbo jumbo.

I’ve spent a decent amount of time around Charleston and related areas incl HHI. Wife’s family has some roots out there printing confederate money and someone was an early county clerk where they got a 5% rip on every sale and land parcel transfer they stamped.

Other than Folly Beach and Maybe James Island areas but I didn’t think there was much gerrymandering could accomplish in that area.

What possible reason do you think I had to pay attention to her in the first place?

Thanks. Not knowing the underlying details I can say both could be true for that region.

But what’s odd is the lack of interest in competition. Pathetic. Lose once and rig the game then point at others rigging things.

Must like the policies….or those darn liberals.

For MD if he sees this rather than direct:

Austin Scott, paraphrased from some text exchanges over the weekend from republicans who are in the orgs, work with and know many of the state pols (friends who don’t pull punches with me as long as they don’t find themselves quoted in the AJC on this):

- Soft/mild
- Effete/ineffective
- Comes from some money and makes more off his seat while mouth-piecing the interests in his district which used to be incredibly crappy Tift co below Macon but now covers the southern part of the state down through Valdosta which local in Republicans until southern Democrats come back which is basically what he is.
- only job is to make sure Robbins AF base doesn’t get f**ed
- inconsequential to state despite Savannah and he’s too incompetent to drive meaningful improvement to the existing success of the Savannah port
- could likely hand the seat to a child or die in it
- “he needs to be more like Kemp and less like others who are making life difficult for normal people, but thankfully isn’t like some of those imbeciles and juvenile maniacs south of the GA border” (that’s a direct quote from a Republican who’s religious but never imposes his views on others in the moral or religious realm)

Thx; Scott's out of it. He was just a placeholder for "no" to Jordan.

I think Jordan is going to fall short.
40 hard no, 20 willing to go to floor to vote against taking the vote.

They'll need to keep looking for an answer.

But god help them and more importantly the country if they collapse and put Jordan in the role.
Idiot, seditionist, flamethrower.

Dems are continuing to offer olive branches to the rational wing.

Starboard.

Activist Builds News Corp Stake, Plans to Seek Changes - WSJ

Lauren Thomas

Starboard Value has built a stake in and the activist shareholder plans to push for strategic and governance changes at the Wall Street Journal parent.

Starboard believes News Corp, one of the two arms of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, trades at a significant discount to its fair market value due to its conglomerate structure, according to people familiar with the matter.

Starboard plans to recommend News Corp spin off its digital-real-estate division, which includes a stake in Australian online-property-site operator and Realtor.com parent Move Inc.

The activist, run by founder and Chief Executive Jeff Smith, also plans to push News Corp to collapse its dual-class share structure, which gives the Murdochs voting power in excess of their economic ownership.

Starboard’s stake in News Corp is “sizeable,” the people said. The exact magnitude couldn’t be learned.

Reuters reported Friday that Starboard had taken a stake in News Corp.

Murdoch and his family have a roughly 40% voting stake in News Corp, according to a recent securities filing. The family has a similar voting stake in
Fox
Corp., which owns Fox News along with local TV stations and the Tubi streaming service.

That means that effecting change without their consent could be difficult. News Corp earlier this year tried unsuccessfully to sell Move to
CoStar
in a deal that would have carried a roughly $3 billion price tag.

The Murdochs last year proposed reuniting Fox and News Corp through a merger—they split apart in 2013—but withdrew the bid in January following pushback from shareholders including another activist, Irenic Capital Management, which took a roughly 2% stake in News last year and helped whip up opposition to the proposed merger. The activist was unsuccessful in convincing News Corp to spin off its real-estate websites and Dow Jones.

News Corp, which besides the Journal owns the Times of London, other newspapers and book publisher HarperCollins, is also a major player in online real estate through Realtor.com and REA, a publicly traded Australian digital-real-estate business it owns a majority of. It also has a majority stake in Australian cable-television network Foxtel.

Starboard values News Corp’s entire portfolio at over $20 billion, including about $8 billion for REA.

News Corp’s Class A shares are up roughly 14% so far this year, bringing its market capitalization to about $12 billion.

Starboard argues that News Corp’s Dow Jones business, the publisher of the Journal, Barron’s and MarketWatch, is worth more than $7 billion given the multiple of earnings that the
New York Times
’s parent trades at.

News Corp has been trying to find the right formula for digital growth amid a fierce battle for subscribers and online-ad dollars. During its past fiscal year, the company generated more than half of its revenue from digital for the first time in its history.

Chief Executive Robert Thomson earlier this year said News Corp expected to reduce head count by 5% in 2023 in the face of challenges posed by a surge in inflation and interest rates, which have affected all its businesses, especially book publishing and digital real estate.

The company will soon undergo a significant leadership shift.

Murdoch, News Corp’s executive chairman, last month said he would step away from executive and board duties at both News Corp and Fox Corp. in mid-November. His elder son, Lachlan Murdoch, who has served as co-chair of News Corp, will become sole chair of that company and will continue as Fox Corp. executive chair and CEO.

Recent investments by New York-based Starboard, established in 2002, include Salesforce; Splunk, which agreed to be acquired by Cisco last month for $28 billion; and
Outback Steakhouse
owner Bloomin’ Brands. The activist famously took full control of Olive Garden owner Darden Restaurants’ board roughly a decade ago.

Still asked and I was curious too. And couldn’t help but share the quotes part, for our old moron friend PB with no J.

Tift county is a speed trap a little else. Seriously once you hit that county you best drop speed because they actually inflate the speed to hit you with a super speeder rather than shave down under +15 like most decent cops.

Used to have to deal with two banks there (CBAN ticker and Ameris Bancorp who’s subsequently changed tickers-no chance of growth there)

Looks like the short term answer is likely mcHenry

I know Bill and maybe some others loathe the guy but I’d vote Christie over Biden 10/10 if given that option.
