Studies show that cows produce more milk when the farmers talk to them...

it's a case of "in one ear and out the udder".

Oh please, oh please, vote for gym Jordan for speaker...please, PLEASE...

I so want him to the the rePuq speaker of the house.

It would be so entertaining to watch him subpoena ANYONE, and try to enforce it when that person told him politely to "pound sand", that I'll respond to your subpoena 12 months after YOU (gym Jordan) respond to the subpoena from the Jan 6th commission.

That could be some of the most entertaining moments in House history.

Please make that hypocrite the rePuq choice for speaker.

My wife and I were discussing the truth in advertising...

and we started to talk about the bible vs "Saturday Night Live".

Which would you believe?.

There's no doubt in our strongly biased minds, what about you?

Christmas time is great, because you can shout "DON'T COME IN HERE"...

and people think you are wrapping presents, when you really just want to drink your wine in peace and not share your chocolates with anyone.

Herschel...Herschel, buddy...I know you've spoken about the Vampires and Werewolves...

But WHERE IN THE HELL DO THE ZOMBIES come into your equation?

Are the vampires and werewolves more deadly than the zombies?

I always thought the zombies were the most lethal. Am I wrong?

I'm asking as a concerned citizen, and I have no doubt a possible Senator of the US would have the correct answer.

Which should I be more concerned about? A werewolf, vampire, zombie, or a fucking stupid beyond belief asshole running for US senator?

Concerned voters want to know!

I have a question for those with a lot more knowledge of the House of Representatives than I have...

We know the Repuqs are going to take over the house with the majority in early January.

My question is "what happens if the repuqs aren't able to get a majority vote for speaker of the house on that day?
I understand they have to keep voting until ONE person has 218 (majority of the full house) votes to be chosen as "Speaker of the House".

Let's assume (I know, I know) that NONE of the repuqs get 218 votes. My understanding is they keep voting until SOMEBODY gets 218 votes. Because of the huge divisions in the repuq party with the extreme idiots on the far right, what happens if that vote goes on for weeks, or even months? Who controls the house if that scenario should happen?

And to get even more entertaining, what if NO repuq gets 218 votes for the whole term?

In either case, who decides who is on the committees? Who decides what bills to advance to a full vote of the house? Who decides which committees get to subpoena witness's?

Inquisitive minds want to know!

About Enter stage left

I'm ashamed to say I've been lurking here since around 2004. I've finally had enough. There is nothing more important than taking back our country NOW. Whatever it takes to humilate tRump & the rePugs this Nov should be front & center, & continue for the next 2-3 generations. I was born in 1945 to a special ed teacher & a Navy aviator. They supported Gen Eisenhower & looking back, I truly believe he was the last Republican of honor in their party. RESIST. NEVER GIVE UP!
