I guess I’m boring. I figured it was an in-patient substance abuse facility.
Me too!
But he didn’t use that word. That’s why I went with his transitioning.
Or just plain ol’ drying out, alcohol or other recreational pharmaceuticals.
So we will find out where he’s been in a number of weeks? That number of weeks wouldn’t by any chance corresponded to around say Nov. 4th or later.
I don’t think it’s drug or alcohol rehab. Politicians like to talk about going into rehab, because it offers an excuse for bad behavior and makes them look humble and repentent.
But not if it’s some trashy street drug. Booze or coke? Sure. But maybe it was meth?
Sigh. As if my TBR pile weren’t already greater than what I could get through in what remains of my lifetime…
If you want to justify it anyways, consider reading books and buying books to be two separate hobbies.
Anna Paulina Luna is holding up must-pass House legislation to try to force the Senate to pass Trump’s unconstitutional voter suppression bill that doesn’t even have 50 votes, let alone 60.
The story doesn’t expand on this. How exactly does she manage this?
Sure it does. She just goes directly to Trump, and since the Republicans are spineless babies needing Daddy’s approval, they are afraid to do anything.
“The speaker talks to the president a lot. But Luna talks to him more,” one House Republican told the outlet, speaking anonymously.
During a fight over a cryptocurrency bill last year, Luna walked out of a Treasury Department meeting, went straight to the White House, and into the Oval Office. Trump brought the whole group in and handed hard-liners a concession, the report said.
“Luna has more operational control around here than most anyone,” a second House Republican said anonymously.
“It’s not my job to play trust games with the Senate when they’ve actively betrayed our trust multiple times,” Luna told the outlet. “Plus, the president’s on my side.”
Who is the “our” in “our trust”, I shudder to ask…
It says she has frozen all House votes. Trump certainly has that power, sadly, and to the extent they’re in agreement, she mirrors the president’s expectations. But I’m still not getting how she has frozen all House votes.
Trump has the power to prevent the House from voting? WTF?
That sounds unlikely.
Well, he has bully power.
Jim Jordan thinks they play hockey at the World Cup.
This is what I will never understand. They should laugh in his face and walk away.
Jim Jordan is an idiot and a thoroughly disgusting person.
He’s also a former NCAA champion wrestler and college wrestling coach, and I assume has a greater knowledge and interest in sports in general than the average person.
My guess is that he meant to say “soccer”, and it’s an easy verbal flub to make considering it is similar to the word “hockey”, and both are second-tier sports in the US where they don’t have as much of an overall following as they do in other nations. Getting them mixed up is understandable. Not to mention that most politicians who kiss Trump’s ass probably know all about the World Cup since Trump has made such a big deal about it (as he and FIFA are in cahoots).
So, I think he knows that it’s soccer, but it’s still embarrassing, and his failure to correct himself or for the show hosts to correct him certainly make them all look like idiots.
