Nitpick-- the Speaker of the House is second in line. The Vice-President is first in line.

An article from and about those wrestlers, the abuse, and Jordan’s fitness to be a GOP leader in their view:

I’m not that keen to advocate violence, but as this is the pit, I suggest the US place Mr Davis in a cage.

The smaller the better.

What a piece of crap. A treasonous bastard; I hope he goes to gitmo in that tiny cage. I can’t believe that these people are happy to display their hate and bigotry so publicly. I bet this shit heel is “pro-life” too. At least white babies. Gross.

This apparently dates from September 29, and there’s more to it:

I have five lists, ready to go and they’re growing. List number one, we’re gonna fire. We’re gonna fire a lot of people in the executive branch, in the deep state. Number two, we’re gonna indict. We’re gonna indict Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and James Biden and every other scumball, sleazeball, Biden, except for the five year old granddaughter who they refused to acknowledge for five years until the political pressure got to Joe Biden.

Every January 6th defendant is gonna get a pardon, especially my hero horn man. He is definitely at the top of the pardon list.

Oh, I suspect he does indeed have a plan for who will be picking crops. And it won’t be the pale folks.

[And how would you go about being humane?](https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-reps-introduce-bill-stem-161309571.html) For the pubbies, it’s a bit of clever evil.

> Reps. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) and Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) are set to introduce legislation that would curb the flow of Palestinians looking to resettle in the United States.
> 
> The bill, “Guaranteeing Aggressors Zero Admission Act,” — dubbed the GAZA Act — would prevent the Biden administration from issuing visas to Palestinians.
> 
> “We can’t let President Biden abuse our parole and visa rules to bring unvetted Palestinians into American communities the way he did with thousands of unvetted Afghans,” Tiffany [said in a post on X](https://x.com/RepTiffany/status/1713190385860677968?s=20), the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I introduced the GAZA Act to protect America’s national security.”

Did you catch that? **G** uaranteeing **A** ggressors **Zero**  **A** dmissions. Yeah, putting a little word play means your evil isn’t evil at all.

Great entry to the “Evil” thread. It’s a lot more evil than stupid. If it passes, the Biden administration believes in the rule of law and will follow it, which will lead to the anti-American contingent of the world pointing to it as proof that the Democratic Party is their enemy. Twas also so with Obama and Gitmo, or Biden and the wall.

My wife says, ‘Women control all of the pussy.’

I think women _should_ 'keep their legs crossed. ‘You want sex? Fine. Vote out the American Taliban. Vote in Senators and Representatives who will protect our right to choose, and our right to control our own bodies. When women have reproductive rights, _then_ we can have sex.’
