15. Gilbert Godfrey... "The Aristocrats."

The joke is weak but I have enjoyed listening to his rendition.

I can picture, after him reading 15 pages into it,...... Senator you seem to have fallen asleep, should I start over?

I would require him to LISTEN to the entire reading - and if he stopped, fell asleep, left the chamber or in any way was not rapturously attentive throughout, I would call for unanimous consent to stop the charade and censure him for wasting the Senate's time.

These idiotic stunts happen because there are no consequences to acting like a horse's ass, even when you clearly resemble one in real life.

6. Usually when learning disabled people need to learn something

the best thing is for THEM to carefully read it out loud. They should at least require that he reads it out loud with them.

Also, learning disabled people should not have distractions so no phone, no friends sitting next to him, and no lap top.

It's true, he learned before going to Russia back in 2017.
