Looks like the guy with the bow-tie might be named as expanded pro-tem.

Pictures will be taken, facial recognition, etc . . . And then there's the army of security for Vlad, "Hey Alexi! Remember me? I'm your brother-in-law! My sister, she is looking for you! Come with me now, I give you free trip back home with me."

This visit will cause some discomfort for the Russian draft dodgers in that area.

This past weekend Nancy Mace (a new member of the MAGA ladies association) was being interviewed by Jake Tapper of CNN. When she began extolling Jordan as honest and trustworthy, Tapper's response was hilarious. If nothing else, the DT era has caused media people to grow a pair. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2023/10/11/mace-house-speaker-jordan-democrats-scalise-jake-tapper-lead-vpx.cnn

Edibles.

Ironic, isn't it, that someone who makes so much noise about keeping immigrants out has been married three times, twice to women from the former Soviet bloc.

I met a fellow from Texas working a temp job, he told me for a while he was a trans hooker in New Orleans. He said at least half of the guys he did probably had no idea. Or maybe this is a braggadocio thing in that world.

Assuming you are in Thailand. What country was the VPN server in?

Slept on the beach in Prachuap. Was woken up with a kick in the face and three lads over me. This was nearly 50 years ago.

Kissing his butt in advance on the possibility he gets it.

At a time when we have screaming idiots in Congress (literally) having a MAGA person only 2 heartbeats away from the WH is, well, draw your own images . . . And then there is how long he will last, my guess is less than a month, but probably more like 2 weeks. And what will the orange guy will do the Speaker's rubber stamp? Welcome to US politics in the 21st century, it's not for the faint of heart. I think we're not in 1776 anymore!

In Star Wars-esque terms, the New Republican Party will contain elements of the defeated Federation that need to be culled. There will probably be a fight for the brand name. DT should call his Orange Party.

He can come up with "during my term we got Obama to step down!" and he can fund raise from it. Yes, there are people who are that dumb.

Ever find yourself in a situation where you deliberately ignore something because you just don't want to face it? This is the way I feel about how easy it is to get elected to US Congress. The shirt storm that began in 2015 has forced me to see it for what it is. The ease with which that tenpin Santos got elected is a great example. There is a US political pundit who previously worked as an aid to a House speaker who had this to say about Jordan when he was elected, I guess he had a source: Jordan was brought in for express purpose of confronting a certain Dem member. He said it was inspired by something a basketball team did (I don't know sports) ten or so years ago, assigning one player with express job of always being on a certain opponents tail. The guy I'm taking about is Chris Matthews. I did some searching in regard to this but ran out of patience. The only move Jordan has is: "Did the blah blah blah (insert 30 seconds of mile-a-minute babble here), yes or no?"

Maybe we need to start a rumor that her name is "Greene" because she comes from a family of environmentalist commie jihadis. Going on the idea that there will emerge a new deloused GOP free of MAGA, eventually, now is the time for some sort of social wiz to emerge and start sorting things out. If and when they finally get to locking people up (hey Jimbo, no need for shirt sleeves in a prison jumpsuit) they can do their purge and maybe get back to reality (well, sort of) in 2032.

This chimp 2nd in line for the presidency? The House needs to impose an alcohol-free day to take the vote. The Dems should bring in Liz Cheney, that will shake up the resident of MAL.

When they start offering other possibilities it's almost a confession.

Looks like we're in for a beauty contest. No one with any sense would want that job, so that limits it to the Sedition Caucus. Let's see how quickly each comer gets scratched off. Everyone knows JJ would be a fiasco, and that includes himself.

Aw, you missed his speech where he explained what oceans are, and how there is something living in them called "fish." I saw it on US tv, but it doesn't seem to be on-line yet. I liked the bit about having to flush the toilet ten times and the exploding washing machines. Instead of insulting the political satirists he should be trying to hire their writers; well, that won't work really because he would stiff them and they know it.

Say what you will about either, but both McConnell and Pelosi would not put something out to Congressional vote without having the numbers. One of my fave incidents was when AOC confronted Nancy to do something, with the freshman touting that her and her pals had XX million social media followers, to which the Speaker replied "but in here you have only four votes." The new MAGA version of the GOP doesn't get this, which is why they had 15 rounds of voting before installing the previous tool.

But do we know that they will function when needed?

Summer of 1968, I was working as an usher in a theatre. The Odd Couple played for 14 weeks straight (it would have run longer but they had already agreed to open another movie). If I never see or hear him again . . . A few years later he won an Oscar, but I just couldn't take him seriously as an actor.

Apocalypse Now Man Who Would be King Rumblefish Stray Dog : Japanese post-war film noir, 1949. Kurosawa (directed the samurai movies) and a young Mifune. From Russia With Love If that's too many take away two.

You surprise me, with a name like Britman. The scene where Hackman opens a can a whoopazz on Richard Harris (English Bob) I think is why they gave Clint the Oscar. At least he didn't get to sing that damned song about a cake in a park in the rain.

Classic DT empty statement. A lot of good things: like what comes out of a piñata? You'd be surprised: yes, tell me more about myself many people are taking it: who, exactly? front-line workers: been to the front lines, have you?
