That’s a suit, sure, but it must violate their dress code. And every other dress code.

Btw Jordan in that pic looks like a Purdue basketball coach frustrated at a foul call. 

No he looks like an Ohio State wrestling coach that is covering up sexual assault.

Lindsey Graham blaming Biden for leaving Afghanistan is rich, considering it was Donald Trump who declared we were leaving Afghanistan and Graham was/is his sycophant. 

Haven't you read up on this, if Trump was in office or would have been the best military withdrawal ever, it would have been beautiful.

And it was all those Democrats who voted no that caused McCarthy to lose the speakers seat.

I should know, I read all about it in the Internet

“Good afternoon, sir! My name is Jim and this is my associate Matt. We were in the neighborhood today helping some of your neighbors save money on their electric bill by installing solar. Have you considered making the switch? I’d hate to see you miss out on this limited time opportunity.”

I love that their MAGA terrorist base is screaming and crying about the evil “uniparty.” Yeah, they’re RIGHT. On some level, Dems and (moderate…and I use that term GENEROUSLY) Repubs do share one belief: we should keep this Republic alive. That’s it. That’s the shared belief. And that is the belief that the MAGA terrorists oppose.
Fuck em. Fuck all of em. If you support a MAGA candidate, for ANY office, you’re a fucking terrorist too.

I think there is a not-insignificant number of conservative politicians that don't want any part of a hot ideological war.  They want to ride the cold ideological war gravy train.  Its like they are suddenly realizing this shit is real vs paid performance art.

This was good, but he missed something that would have really solidified the ending:
 
”…plan your martyrdom in the only way that truly matters:  NAIL YOURSELF TO A FUCKING CROSS”

Yeah…I was hoping he’d send them the True Detective “you should probably kill yourself” gif. I’m all for it.

They used to stay there during the whole session - it was part of why Congress functioned more effectively. They all lived in the same boarding houses and hung out together. Now they have to go home and do fundraisers constantly because the campaign never stops. 

I’m of the opinion that only committee heads and gang of eight should actually be in Washington. We need to increase the number of reps so that they have smaller pops to represent, they should spend most of their time in their district and remote in for meetings and votes.

That’s going to be another secret vote with the winner supposedly getting voted on on the house floor?  Wonder how that vote will be split. Could have a winner with like a 25% plurality. 
 

but- if the freedom caucus shitheads won’t vote for anyone but Jordan and a couple dozen or more won’t vote for Jordan, what’s the point?  Isn’t that the problem to solve?

If they wanted to, they could end all of this foolishness in one hour by ranked voting.   Reps won't do this because they are cowards. 

They should be forced to do so, by law, that the government may function, and their rankings should be public. Again, cowards. 


 

If they wanted to end this foolishness they would make a deal with Dems.

Byron Donalds
- Felony no-contest conviction for Bribery in connection with defrauding a bank

The Best People…

Quote

On the campaign trail, Byron Donalds hasn't hidden the criminal charges in his past.

A 1997 marijuana charge was dismissed as part of a pre-trial diversion program.

A 2000 bribery charge was later expunged and is no longer available as a public record.

In a 2014 television interview, which he says still serves as his official statement on the matter, Donalds said: “Fifteen years ago, I came in contact with a girl. She offered me $1,000 for my debit card and my PIN number,” he said. “I never got the thousand dollars, but I had to make restitution to the bank in excess of 7,000.”

“Mr. Donalds has falsely and criminally completed regulatory applications by not disclosing either the sealed charge for receiving bribes or the dismissed charge for distributing marijuana,” claims Collier County real estate agent and former school board member Kelly Lichter in the complaint she says she filed last month.

The nonpartisan nonprofit PolitiFact on Friday rated "mostly false" an attack ad by Donalds' rival candidate Casey Askar that echoes Lichter's allegations.

Lichter said Donalds lied about his charges on multiple applications, including one to sell securities and a 2014 application to serve on the board of Florida SouthWestern State College, among others. She includes several scanned excerpts from his applications in her complaint as exhibits.

Seems like there are a few things here that bear more explanation.

Maybe just gave her the PIN so they could get into the little kiosk area where the ATM was located off the street so they had somewhere to fornicate.  But it was not intended to actually withdraw money to pay her.  It's not a hooker if you just swipe your card to gain access to the sex foyer.

Who here among us have not used an ATM in the Champagne Room, let them cast stones.   

(true story: i attended a golf tournament full of mostly drunk lawyers and sales people at a resort north of Tampa. Saddlebrook maybe?  One of the guys arranged an escort and called the front desk to have her added to the room as his guest - at the hooker’s urging, so she would not get in trouble. I hope he had a good time that night, because when he got done playing his round of golf the next day, he came back to find the hooker had gone to the resort boutique and purchased about $5k worth of jewelry and clothes and put it on his room. Good times)

Why is it that they can’t ever wear a suit that fits properly?

I was at a family office conference this week at South Congress Hotel.  It was all decked out for international travelers here for U.S. Grand Prix.  It's already a very nice property but they had so many nice little details setup for their guests and even for us lowly day-attendees.  One thing I noticed though was what appeared to be a circa-1999 Bob Popular's ATM in a nook between the conference space and one of the restaurants.  I mean, it was sandwiched between a janitor closet and the elevator bank.  Everything else on site is either state of the art of purposely vintage.  And then there's this crap-tastic cash machine that just screams, "Euros for Dollars for Whores!"  Maybe it's there year around.  But I meet folks there for breakfast and what-not many times a year and I've never noticed it.  It did not exactly profess "discretion."  But I'd like to think our international guests appreciate the little things.  

My friend that does breakfast service/kitchen cleanup with me at church this morning told me that a lady entertainer joined his friend once after he had a great night at a Vegas sportsbook.  As he used the restroom, she looted the room.  We all know this kinda tale.  Took his wallet, all chips, all cash, except she left behind $500 in $50 bills because there's some weird unwritten rule, that I didn't know until today, that $50 bills were bad luck.  A working gal's gotta have a code apparently.

Do prostitutes take post-dated two-party checks? Asking for a friend.

Seriously these are great questions - one of you should as Fitlump, during a break in a City Council meeting
