    I thought the reason for resurrecting this thread was that TN is the most immigrated to state in the nation as of last year.

    We've reached peak "crazy people are virtuous". Well, I hope we've reached the peak. But the ideas those who lean left can effortlessly carry in their heads never cease to amaze me.

    Story doesn't say what "secure part of the airport" he was hiding out in.

    Plus the fact that there was no security at the Capitol was the best thing to happen for Democrats in many years.

    You bet. What they need is Captain Sisko.

    I've long suspected that Orange Julius is in actual fact a Ferengi. Keeping up with the Cardassians, perhaps?

    That's a masterful dig.

    And I make this soup all the time in the instant pot. Usually with barley, and whatever meat and veggies are in the fridge. Bone broth and wine and herbs and salt and pepper. Yum.

    "There is a sickness in the land -- a deep, tenacious sickness, which must be addressed."

    Presumably they're talking about the ham and pineapple.

    Yes, the Saints were quite similar to the Ramones, but they were Australian.

    If only the Capitol hadn't been largely unguarded. Now how the heck did that ever happen?

    That, my friend, is the good question.

    Please don’t tell me that you two think there was some sort of conspiracy to allow the people into the Capital building? 😳

    Somehow or other, this invasion of the bearded knobheads was the fault of the Democrats. You can count on it!

    .@senatemajldr on the U.S. Capitol Attack: "The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people."

    Yes, one has to admit to that. Trump's whining about unevidenced election theft caused a bunch of doofuses to raid a largely unguarded Capitol. I'm unclear how long the occupation lasted, but I think it was about as long as it took the Powers That Be to take it seriously. It was a huge embarrassment, but obviously never a serious or credible attempt at a coup.

    I consider the lies about the racism narrative to be more virulent and dangerous and destabilizing, but clearly not enough of the cultural seats of messaging power are with me on that.

    Real life is not a fairy tale.
    Every family has its own challenges.
    The intersection of family law, property law, and immigration law is not always coherent.
    Let's hope they did what they did with the best of intentions and every one went into it fully informed and with their own free will.

    Please don't ever consider a counseling career.

    The office leaves him at noon. Pelosi would get the nod at that point.

    Regarding swearing in of Pence it’s a good question. Or rephrasing it, at what point would they decide not to bother? There was a several hour delay from JFK being declared dead to LBJ’s swearing in on the plane back to DC.

    But they would go a day or two? I doubt it. What’s the limit? Might depend on what Pence wanted to do, no doubt in consultation with Pelosi and Roberts.

    Re Airforce One, it’s a call sign that follows the President, not the equipment. He could take off in AF1 and it would cease being AF1 at noon even if it was still in the air.
