Dana loses a bet and has to stand on the table and sing: "I'm a loser, I'm a loser. This is called the Loser Dance. I'm a loser, I'm a loser. Careful I might pee my pants."

Oh, sung to the tune of La Cucaracha.

Serves them right. Hope it was small close quartwmers with food rations.

Appears they were only in thete for a couple hours, till the premises was secured.

FBI should have locked the door behind them and gone home

9/11 inside the White House emergency bunker

On July 24, the US National Archives released a series of 356 never-before-seen photos, most of them taken on September 11, 2001 inside the emergency bunker under the White House.

The bunker is officially called the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), but White House officials also call it the shelter. It was constructed in 1942 underneath the East Wing of the White House, which was primarily built to cover the building of the bunker. It is said the PEOC can withstand the blast overpressure from a nuclear detonation.

The photos were released in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by Colette Neirouz Hanna, coordinating producer for the FRONTLINE documentary film team. They focus on the reaction from then-vice president Dick Cheney and other Bush administration officials during the terrorist attacks.

I've read descriptions, and it's apparently very utilitarian and unappealing even to people who lack his refined sensibilities.

Trump probably reacted to the whole thing with at least several killer political ads worth of comments, if we only had recordings.

It is only fitting that a fine Black man breathing freely on his own now, reaches back & rips your pasty Nazi skin off.

Bush was at a school, but Cheney was ordered to go underground. It was the right thing to do because of a potential plane hitting the WH at the time.

And the protesters were near the portion of fence that was under construction and were able to breach the barricades in place.
