Will Jimmy Dolittle Jordon, the never to be speaker become another Kari Lake loser and go on tours to raise money on how Democrats stole his election as speaker?

Warning Harsh Language.
Dear
@GOP

Two Hundred Republican House members voted for Jim Jordon an insurrectionist who tried to overthrow our republic. What the fuck is wrong with them. And what is wrong with the Republican population who want to end our democracy? To them, I say get the fuck out of our country if you don't like it. Our democracy has been here before you for 247 years. This plague started with the Tea Party and has metastasized under Donald Trump. Let's cut this cancer out.

Word of the day, *sua sponte

The judge said if you break this gag order, I may not wait for a complaint to act on it or by, finning you, putting an ankle bracelet on you, more criminal charges, or revoking your bail where you will stay in jail until the end of your trial

*Latin for "of one's own accord; voluntarily." Used to indicate that a court has taken notice of an issue on its own motion without prompting or suggestion from either party.

I believe Trump is setting up a diminished capacity defense by his verbal outbursts and loony toon babbling about running against Obama. To garner more sympathy from his followers to overthrow the government if he is convicted before he is sent to jail. What say ye?

@okika_hilo I don't remember, it was in 1963 but he will change the way you see the world without taking psychedelic drugs. If I had to guess, I was into Psychology so maybe this book

@danielbsmith President Franklin Delano Roosevelt made one of those escalating moves in July 1940 when he cut off shipments of scrap iron, steel, and aviation fuel to Japan.

One day I was roaming the campus and saw where someone had left an old tattered paper book by Alan Watts. I picked it up as an Orical from the heavens as I often do with everything that comes my way.
A child asked his mother why there is so much evil and pain in the world. The mother said to her child. One day god was bored in heaven and decided to pretend he was you and me. Just like a book we read, no one is really hurt.
I like this story better than religion

Jonathan Greenblatt said that the brutal attack on Israel was materially equal to the attack on Hiroshima, and showed a lack of respect for others. It was an affront to the Japanese people. It did no service to Israel and antisemitism. Not to minimize the tragedy of this attack. I was in Scotland in 1958 and Ireland in 2017. I saw it was a job opportunity that ended that 50-year war that my uncle could never explain to me

War for sale
