Vicklund, you have some real talent there! I meant to comment in the other thread as well, that one was quite powerful.
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

I'd rather be bald than wear that cheap-looking hair hat.

I like shaved heads. I was kinda hoping Him would lose his when he started chemo but noooooo, his treatment doesn't affect his hair. He's always worn it long and I get that's his thing, but it's so thin and he's developing the typical male pattern baldness. He has great bone structure, he'd look awesome bald.

So, a long roundabout way of saying yeah, bald is much better than that embarrassment.

A healthy majority of the Republicans voted for the debt ceiling bill.

So I doubt the FreeDumb Caucus will move to toss McCarthy. I think even they can read the room.

If there is a move to oust Kevin, the Democrats should support him 100%. It would be simultaneously hilarious & humiliating.

My WAG is, provided a majority of the conference still supports McCarthy (and I believe it does), the Democrats wouldn't bother to even show up. Lets the kids fight each other on CSPAN.

I'd suggest they knock off the nonsense. Speaking for myself, and on behalf of many other Americans, we'd just like to enjoy our well-deserved summer vacations. If we're lucky enough to get one, or as much as we can get. 2023 is not an election year. Give us a fucking break.

Wake me up when their latest self-made crisis is over yet.

But I oh so wanted to watch them spend 83 votes over the whole summer before finding a poor sucker who will accept the job and not be the one who tries to declare war on New Zealand under some bizarre 18th century doctrine of "Da Speaker is the real Boss".

GOLDMAN: Did you ever sit with members of the majority in the last Congress?

CUFFARI: Yes

GOLDMAN: With who?

CUFFARI: Mr Moskowitz--

GOLDMAN: Mr Moskowitz was not in Congress last Congress

this Cuffani fellow (a Trump appointee) is a slimy character. Note how House Republicans rescued him from having to answer this question.
Raskin: In June 2022 there was going to be a reference to secret service’s obstruction of questioning about the disappearance of the texts. That was deliberately removed. Did you sign off on that removal?

This hearing with DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari sounds brutal. Instead of posting bunches of twitter links here, Acyn's a good place to start. https://twitter.com/Acyn

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congre ... -rcna87849
WASHINGTON — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, a top Trump ally, is calling on the Justice Department to provide lawmakers with internal documents laying out the scope of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents found last year at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

In a letter first reported by NBC News, Jordan told Attorney General Merrick Garland that his committee was requesting “an unredacted copy of the memorandum outlining the scope of Mr. Smith’s probes regarding President Trump and any supporting documentation related to his appointment as special counsel.”

The letter from Jordan, one of Trump’s most ardent defenders on Capitol Hill, comes a day after attorneys for the former president met with Smith and others at Justice Department headquarters and the same week the grand jury investigating Trump’s handling of classified documents is expected to meet again.

Similarly, I'm saying that I may be married to Michelle Pffiefer soon.

It's not going to happen, but I'm saying it. I demand headlines.
