amazing

Please allow me to enter into the public record these explicit passages that should not be made available in a public library for fear someone might discover them. Also, check out the unit on Hunter Biden, let's show America the guy's shameful bits while we investigate his father in hopes of finding some evidence to justify investigating him.

well there's a clip that's going to live in online infamy for the next 3 decades

strong Sen. Tankerbell energy there

What are the odds that Senator Kennedy is big time into pegging?

Cool, more wasted taxpayer money!

Wasn't there a New Yorker profile of Kennedy (for some reason) that implied/stated the hokum was all a cynical act?

i've long thought that he was a contender for the dumbest person in congress. i don't think it's an act. somehow he got a law degree, so he must have a lot of perseverance, but there is absolutely nothing going on up there

yeah he acts like a country bumpkin but I believe he's ivy league edumacated

the real cynics are the white voters in mississippi who keep voting a permanently drunk sober guy into office

Wasn't there a New Yorker profile of Kennedy (for some reason) that implied/stated the hokum was all a cynical act?

From Wikipedia:

Kennedy was born in Centreville, Mississippi, and raised in Zachary, Louisiana. He graduated from Zachary High School as co-valedictorian in 1969. He then attended Vanderbilt University, where his interdepartmental major was in political science, philosophy and economics. He graduated magna cum laude.

At Vanderbilt, Kennedy was elected president of his senior class and named to Phi Beta Kappa. He received a Juris Doctor in 1977 from the University of Virginia School of Law, where he was an executive editor of the Virginia Law Review and elected to the Order of the Coif. In 1979, he earned a Bachelor of Civil Law degree with first class honours from Oxford University, where he was a member of Magdalen College and studied under Rupert Cross and John H.C. Morris.

Yeah, Kennedy went to Vanderbilt and UVA, but the point still stands. I think politics has done more to damage the reputation of an Ivy League education than just about anything else. Ted Cruz (Princeton and Harvard), Josh Hawley (Stanford and Yale), DeSantis (Harvard and Yale), etc. I believe Trump's cabinet had more Harvard grads than Obama's.

He went to Oxford! That's not Oxford, Mississippi. The Foghorn Leghorn act is easily one of the phoniest things in a legislative body made up almost entirely of phonies.

And speaking of phony performative bullshit...Fetterman has exactly the right response to Kevin McCarthy.

"He graduated magna cum laude"

ban this filth!

Biden's "impeachment" making the rounds today, though as expected the media isn't putting in their headlines that it's based on basically nothing

Fetterman rules. It's like, that is who I assume Trump supporters see in their mind, They Live style.

I know this isn't news, but I do kind of enjoy how conservatives so reliably do exactly the things they (mostly falsely) accuse libs of. Like, Clarence Thomas is the single worst example of the kind of blatant tokenism that conservatives pretend affirmative action is/was about. And impeaching/prosecuting political opponents for purely political purposes is not what the scandals around either Nixon or Trump were about, but very much what the impeachment of Clinton and investigation of Biden is about.

Whether or not Kennedy is cosplaying, having a law degree from an Ivy is no guarantee you aren’t dumb as a box of rocks though. These institutions exist to launder the idiot kids of the ruling class into our new idiot ruling class.

yeah, in the UK we have got used to the idea that little rich brats who get educated in elite institutions are more often than not, thick as fucking pigshit.

In America we love our elites.

well I wasn't suggesting that, but more commenting on the incredulity that someone who graduated from such fine institutions could be so thick and therefore it must be an act.

"Leah Hallway" my new display name

That Franklin interview is absolutely wild!

"Leah Hallway" i am CRYING

store brand Loleatta Holloway IMO

"Is that...." incredulously... "spelled H A L L W A Y?"

also her friend called you eight times. Jenna... Jennersonden

No we can't call her now, she's probably at work

campaign fibs are exactly what the First Amendment was created to protect

I love how the campaign manager can't decide if she's doing an interview or just berating this guy. she keeps switching back and forth between the two poles

The (anonymous) senator said even if the House did vote to impeach Biden after an inquiry, there is no way the Senate, controlled by Democrats, would vote to convict.

“Fortunately, it’ll be dispensed with fairly quickly if they ever send articles of impeachment over to us,” the GOP senator said. “We know how this is going to end. It just creates tumult within the conference. I can see it already how people are going to react when they send a message over if they go that far.”

not sure what the plan is here, other than McCarthy just trying to preserve his speakership.. but by all means, have at it

Probably Romney.

There was some insider talk that McCarthy is doing this to secure enough batshit votes to avoid a shutdown, which is probably why Gaetz is going off.

What a dealmaker!

reaching across the aisle in style

"I want to go on record that I proudly voted for this doomed time-wasting failure!"

lol @ fetterman

https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/lauren-boebert-removed-beetlejuice-buell-theatre-denver/

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts says it had to remove two guests from "Beetlejuice" at the Buell Theatre for violating theater policies.

It won't say who it kicked out but Boebert says she was one of those people, tweeting "It's true, I did thoroughly enjoy the AMAZING Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre and I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!"

I read she was kicked out for vaping and causing a disturbance. In the CCTV video of her being escorted out of the video you can vaguely lipread a bunch of "Don't you know who I am?"

lmfao

“I do, sadly.”

Yeah, it's pretty clear everyone knows who she is, and is loving that she's leaving.

If you look in a mirror and say "Boebertjuice" three times, her ex-husband appears and shows you his dick.
