“Did you get to take a dump on Nancy’s desk?” “Naah, there was some dude sitting there already.” “Darn it! Do I have to do everything myself?” 8 seconds… ---

“What do you mean you can’t find Pence? Follow the fucking fly!” Since this wasn’t that long before the Slobfather called off the dogs, I suspect it was a call to get an assessment from the battlefield as to whether they had any hope of carrying out the mission. ---

Nine seconds is plenty of time for, “Get out. They’re sending in the National Guard.” ---

WI Assembly leader, Robin Vos, gets a call from TFG in July 2022 (NB: 19 months after the election), just checking on how it’s going – you know: the quest to overturn the election. Vos ghosts TFG (apparently, he’s just not that into you, TFG). The J6C has Subpoenaed Vos. Vos has to wax his dog that day, sadly. ---

That’s ok. I expect he’ll soon receive a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ, if he hasn’t already. We’ll see how much dog-waxing gets done then. ---

"Vos states in his lawsuit that the subpoena “imposes an undue burden, seeks to infringe on Speaker Vos’ legislative immunity from civil process, lacks a lawful purpose, and was issued from an unlawful Committee.” He sounds like a real Yankee Doodle Dandy. ---

Vos takes three swings at the facts and misses. And he expects to be awarded a homerun. ---
