The Putin-Trump Tunnel, with lights at both ends that are trains rushing toward each other on a single track with only half the number of spikes necessary, and a signaling system designed by Prince Jared.

Who in hell gets the tolls:
It sure ain't thee."

Under the House rules, you need to have nine members of the majority party to file a motion to vacate.

Johnson didn’t want the Freedom Caucus loons to treat him like they did Kevin 15 Votes McCarthy.

Usually I'm happy not to carry the decimal to fourteen places when I'm dealing with amounts under a million dollars.

From CaptainCalculator.com:
A screen shot of an online calculation. The title is "Percentage Decrease Calculator." The first line is labeled "starting number," and the number given is 242. The next line is labeled "decrease amount," and the number given is 232. The third line is labeled "percent decrease." The calculated answer runs to fourteen decimal places. Rounded off, the answer would be 95.87%. (The full answer is 95..86776859504133 percent.)

...in the midst of which we learned that Hyde had had an affair with a married woman 12 years younger.

Hyde referred to this as a "youthful indiscretion." It began when he was 41 and lasted four years.

None of this "Young Republican" stuff is surprising, including the crocodile tears and professional lamentations of nonentities like J. D. Vance.

Henry Hyde, whose NPR obit (!) praised him as "a forceful advocate for maintaining the dignity of the House," led the Clinton impeachment effort...

The Torah (this cradle Catholic learned from a rabbi) has 36 separate instructions to care for the stranger among you — more than to observe the Sabbath.

…Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes; cease doing evil; learn to do good.

Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan’s plea, defend the widow.

“What do I care for the multitude of your sacrifices? says the LORD.

I have had enough of whole-burnt rams and fat of fatlings;
In the blood of calves, lambs, and goats I find no pleasure…

Like an ICE goon cares about "certified" papers.

They've got a quota to meet. And when this all blows up, they'll all have been out of town whenever a Kavanaugh Stop happened.
