Lets say...popular TV. Words still matter.Â
Those voters don't fucking watch C-Span. Most of them still have fucking antennas for their TVs unless they're stealing cable from someone.Â
I do believe that was his point.Â
Â
Of course not. But you can sure as hell bet Marge Green's staffers will take out selective clips of the interactions and put them on Facebook/Twitter/Tik Tok/whatever the social media app of the day is. Â

Oh, they'll never take the investigation THAT far. Because they know it's insanely stupid and there's nothing there. What matters is that they are LOOKING INTO IT, FOR YOU, OUR GREAT AND WONDERFUL PEOPLE. It's like the never-ending question for treasure at Oak Island. Everyone knows it's bullshit, but it makes for good TV for the absolute dumbest people on the planet.
Â
This kind of thing seems tailor-made for CSPAN, no matter how ridiculous it is.  The idea of getting CEO's, under oath, before a House or Senate sub-committee is what their
paying customers voters want, nay, demand.Â

It's so profoundly stupid, so profoundly devoid of evidence and contrary to reams of obvious evidence, that it's perfect for this timeline of infinite idiocy.
Â
So, once the House and Senate are back in session, how soon before congressional hearings with the CEO's of Southwest, United, AA, etc regarding if their planes are spraying death in the skies.

RE: Damon Jones, and the Lakers being named:
Â
QuoteThe Feb. 9, 2023, game between the Bucks and Lakers that was referenced in the FBI’s investigation into sports betting was one that LeBron James did not play in. He was ruled out due to ankle soreness.
According to the indictment, Damon Jones, a friend of James’ who was not a formal employee of the Lakers, sold or tried to profit from non-public information so that others could bet on it, including alleged co-conspirators Eric Earnest and Marves Fairley. It was about who would not be playing or if they would pull themselves out of games early. Before the Feb. 9, 2023 Lakers game against the Bucks, Jones texted an unnamed co-conspirator that a player was out and they should bet the Bucks. The player was not on the injury report yet. He also gave information on the 2023-24 Lakers, including Player 4, who the DOJ said was one of the Lakers’ best players that season.
Â
QuoteThe Lakers are currently not available to comment. Team and league sources said that Damon Jones wasn’t an employee of the Lakers at the time of these allegations. He was allowed to be in restricted spaces such as planes and locker rooms as he worked with LeBron James.
Â
Pretty casual of the Lakers to name-drop LeBron, even if he's fully innocent. Â Pretty telling of the team's current relationship with him as well.

The article I read said that she was in charge of doing driving tests, and she had a half-million dollar bill for home repairs from a storm that insurance didn't cover (it's nearly impossible to fully insure your home in CO.)
DRIVING tests, winkwink,nudgenudge, say nomore!
Â
What kind of house does a law enforcement officer in Colorado have that would justify $500,000 in repairs?

“It won’t interfere with the current building,” Trump said on July 31.. “It’ll be near it, but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.”

https://www.lawdork.com/p/trump-demolition-of-the-east-wing-photos
QuotePhotos obtained exclusively by Law Dork on Tuesday show that President Donald Trump is completely demolishing the East Wing of the White House as part of his stated plan to build a ballroom befitting his standards on the White House grounds.Â
Although Trump earlier had said the ballroom “won’t interfere with the current building,“ this week it became abundantly clear that was a lie. And, this dramatic change to the governmental building, Trump says, is happening care of private money and outside of any governmental — and transparent — funding process.
Â
QuoteAfter The Washington Post first reported on Monday that demolition had begun, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday night that Treasury Department employees next door to the demolition were told to “refrain from taking and sharing photographs of the grounds, to include the East Wing, without prior approval from the Office of Public Affairs.“
On Tuesday, Law Dork obtained these photographs taken of the ongoing demolition.
Â
Â
Â
QuoteAlthough the Post’s initial story detailed the “East Wing facade“ being demolished and that teams on Monday were “demolishing a portion of the East Wing,“ the Tuesday photograph obtained by Law Dork makes clear that most if not all of the entirety of the East Wing is being demolished.Â
A second photo obtained by Law Dork from another angle shows the extent of the demolition has already reached all but the western and northern walls of the East Wing.
Â
SpoilerOne of the most complete reports that I have found on what is known about what is going on comes from Bryan Gottlieb at Engineering News-Record.
In the report, he noted that “[t]he project, announced July 31 by the White House, will be built by Clark Construction Group with AECOM as engineer and McCrery Architects as designer.”Â
Additionally, Gottlieb explained:
Regulatory filings show that as of Sept. 4 no submission had been made to the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), which reviews major federal projects in the capital region.
Commission Chairman Will Scharf, who also serves as White House staff secretary, said during a public meeting that “what we deal with is essentially construction, vertical build,” explaining why demolition and site-preparation work began before NCPC review. The interpretation leaves design oversight unresolved, even as groundwork proceeds.
The ENR report also noted that Executive Order 11593, signed by Richard Nixon, is applicable to the work. Other resources, including a 2014 report from the National Park Service that was highlighted by the Post, address other relevant authorities, including a 1961 law signed by John F. Kennedy that the White House Historical Association describes as “legislating the White House’s status as a museum and extending legal protection to donated period furnishings and all White House objects.“
It is not clear that the Trump administration consulted with any of these laws or orders, let alone followed them, before demolition began on Monday.Â
This is, in addition to everything else, yet another example of Trump using his office to get people to give him money. As Trump wrote on Truth social on Monday, “The White House Ballroom is being privately funded by many generous Patriots, Great American Companies, and, yours truly.“
Generous. Sure.

Chris Hayes said earlier that the White House hasn't been damaged like this since the War of 1812.Â
Remember when Dotard promised that the construction of his Emperor's throne room wouldn't damage the White House?
Â
Well....it was completely gutted during the Truman administration to restore it, but only because it was in danger of collapsing.
I'm guessing ole' Harry asked the House and Senate for permission to do the work, however.

Mike Johnson seemingly has been giving a presser nearly every day. Â If I were her, I'd just show up to one with all the media present and yell out that she was present and he could swear her in, right then, on camera.

To state the obvious, Trump does not own that property. What was needed in order to get this approved?
A government shutdown, so there was no one working to deny the request.

I see stories like this and I think of the emails I've been getting over the last month and a half from the last dealer we bought from (early 2023) offering me 0.9 for up to 5 years on whatever I want on the lot.

And it just won't matter. They will Weekend at Bernie's his corpse while the cabinet does whatever it wants, and the House and Senate will gleefully go along.
