Hello Björn,
Hello Lee, how's it hanging
Well, Mardi Gras is over, but crawfish are still around.
Not sure for how much longer, as they tend to run out fast
this time of year. All them crustaceans, happy as can be,
waving their tiny claws at me while they are drowning in
boiling water ...
Yes. But even if I show you, y'all still dismiss them as Fake News.
Of course it is Fake News. Everybody knows that.
Ahem. Not everybody. Not me.
Trust me. I'll make a believer out of you yet.
One single person out of 435 made that decision.
That's right. It was his choice. And his choice alone.
But, but, but?
No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
One single person?
Yes, there can be only one. Kind of like the Highlander.
As long as he keeps his head.
Like a dictatorship?
It is not a government by committee.
As long as the Speaker keeps his head, he is in.
That is how it works.
In the effin US of A?
The Framers of the Constitution wrote the rules.
And George Washington gave his blessing.
So we're all good.
And so is the Speaker.
Is that's where you're going if you don't vote responsibly come November?
The government cannot do its job unless it has a Speaker. That is
how the Framers of the Constution wrote the rules. So it is all up
to him. Or her, if the Speaker happens to be a girl or a trans.
Well, so then the world will not only have Putin but also Trump to raise
our military defence against. I guess that rules out NATO entirely then?
Say what? Sweden is part of NATO. So is Finland. And Trump has
already offered to buy Greenland, which is part of Denmark. So why
worry? You know as well as I do the art of the deal. First you get
some snake oil. Then you find a gullible sucker ...
Isn't it obvious, even in the alternate reality of the MAGA World?
It should be obvious to ALL, not just the MAGA World.
Thank you. Sometimes I think I am the only one with more than two connected
braincells here.
I knew you would appreciate it.
Of course, there is a way around it.
As the pro-democracy faction demanded.
And forced the Speaker to accept.
So some parts of the USC are still applicable, then?
Of course. In every document there is always an escape clause.
Known by congresscritters as a discharge petition. Rarely used,
but sometimes necessary. The threat alone is usually enough to
convince a Speaker to cave.
It's not all gone to toilet paper yet?
The US Constitution is written on parchment, and is barely legible.
But it still exists. Even though the handwriting is a bit faded.
To the consternation of the Putin wing of the Republican Party.
Yeah well, they still are hoping to get their own billions of rubles in return, just like the entire Trump crime family did for many years.
Not sure if Putin will still have that dacha available for Trump
after the election. But no worries. The orange one will have public
housing available. And also free food and medical ...
For Life,
Lee
