That’s pathetic for someone who has been in the Senate since 1981, or 45 years.
“Ask a constitutional lawyer,” said Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee. “I’m a
farmerliar.”
(Truthified.)
Insert Blazing Saddles joke here.
Simple farmers.
People of the land.
Common clay of the new West.
You know…
Emphasis added just because Og help me these people can’t avoid making themselves look bad.
Who is the President Pro Tem of the Senate meaning he’s #3 after Vance and Johnson in the order of succession.
So if circumstances cause a succession, we’ll have to go through at least three untimely deaths before the IQ of the current president starts going down again?
Morons!
The brother of Ilhan Omar’s attacker speaks.
“I’m not surprised this happened,” Anthony James Kazmierczak’s brother said Wednesday morning in a phone interview from his home in North Carolina. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.”
“He’s crazy,” Kazmierczak’s brother told The Independent. “He needs help, period… In my mind, he’s a piece of shit.”
Beautiful!!
The only way that could’ve been better is if he had gone on to say something like
- He / they used to be decent people. Then they started watching Fox News. Now 10 years later they’re insane hate-filled extremists. Fox & other similar outlets caused this and should be held responsible for ruining millions of innocent lives.
We actually do need to be worried about Grassley.
Should Rump die… and should JD Vance pass away suddenly in an unfortunate convertible couch incident… Grassley is 3rd in line to the presidency.
( Yeah, I don’t like it either, but wtf can average people do about it? )
Speaker Johnson is next in line. He professes to know even less than Grassley if that’s possible.
You are right. He is fourth in line.
Anyway, here goes:
What determines the presidential order of succession
The U.S. Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 outline the presidential line of succession. The line of succession of cabinet officers is in the order of their agencies’ creation.

Noem: So close…could be…
President Pro Tempore of the Senate should not be in the presidential line of succession. Sure, they have experience, but they’re also very, very old.
Chuck Grassley is 92 years old. We don’t need a 92-year-old president.
Isn’t Chuck Grassley third in line of succession?
It’s an awfully long list. If he was alive, it would challenge Steve McQueen with a grease gun.
This is a few days old but I didn’t see it mentioned before.
You remember how Vance said ICE agents had absolute immunity? It turns out we were all victims of giant hallucination. He never said that
After he told reporters this month that Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who fatally shot Good, was protected by “absolute immunity,” Vance said Thursday that he “didn’t say, and I don’t think any other official within the Trump administration said, that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity.”
“That’s absurd,” Vance said
The internal polling they’re getting must be HORRIBLE.
This one’s easier to parse:
I believe ICE agents sacrifice a great deal of immunity that real law enforcement enjoys. By wearing masks and not wearing uniforms, they present themselves as dangerous thugs even before their actions confirm it. That gives people a stronger claim to self-defense if they strike back against masked people dressed like terrorists, that makes it a bit easier on a defense attorney.
Real police wear uniforms for a reason. That uniform is a recognizable sign of authority and an important tool. Dressing up like a member of a Montana militia group sabotages any claim of legitimacy.
