Johnson wanted to jail Pelosi for ripping up President Trump’s SOTU speech, and comes out forcefully on 2020 being stolen.

Take umbrage all you want.  When you, Lucifer and Anthony stop bringing up my wife, I will stop abusing you for it.
I don't always agree with her, but she is off limits here.

You didn’t provide proof of your detestation claim, I don’t recall anyone here mentioning her for months, if not longer, and you brought her up, even though you state she is off limits. If that’s the way you feel, then perhaps you shouldn’t mention her. I’m pleased we share a love of old books. Egad. I swore I wouldn’t get embroiled with irrational people anymore. Bad Becky.

Resonating. I adore old books, and try to find old copies of my favorite books so I can ditch the new ones. No better word choice than “savoring” for the feeling of reading a print book. I’ve been known to buy an old book just because of the way it feels in my hand, and falls open inviting me to read it.

Two losers thinking they’re still relevant. Those pompous idiots and others like them are why our country is sliding into hell. They don’t lead, they serve themselves not Americans, they don’t fight back against the rot. Money grubbing  egotistical snakes.

This difference in appearance on left/right has fascinated me for a long time. Strangely, leftist women actually often have nice features, even classic beauty. But they tend to be angry, horribly judgmental, and all up in OTHER PEOPLE’S business, heartlessly scrutinizing what YOU are doing while smug self-righteousness dominates and alters their visages in a unattractive way.

Conservative women seem to have a better grasp of the actual principles of human flourishing. We realize threats to it and see a bigger picture. We can look outside ourselves. I feel as if liberal women often are trying to work out their own neuroses and fill their own voids by picking a group to condemn (men, Republicans and Christians mostly), but in so doing they just desiccate their own souls by harboring hate, refusing discussion, becoming monomaniacal and failing to see their own destructive behaviors.

Liberal men seem drawn to these women. I’ve noticed that these men seem to like being told what they should do and how they should vote. Maybe they were originally drawn to the woman’s body but by the time they recognized her stifled inner life it was too late.

Windmills!

Windmills in DC when congress is in session

“This man's name is Rick Rescorla. 22 years ago today, Rick disobeyed orders, and saved 2700 lives. Rick was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He warned that the Towers' basements were vulnerable to attack. His warnings fell on deaf ears. Then the 1993 attack happened, and people started listening to him.

After that attack, Rick implemented regular evacuation drills, using his megaphone to direct the thousands of employees out of their offices, down the stairwells, and out of the building to safety. Born in Cornwall, Rick would sing Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone, as he directed the employees out of the building. He would routinely tell all of the employees: in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you, no matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, and leave the building.

Rick told his wife Susan that he suspected another attack on the World Trade Center would happen, this time by air. And 22 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, that attack happened. When the first plane hit the North Tower, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower's speaker system "Please do not leave the building. This area is secure."

Rick ignored them. "The dumb sons of b------s told me not to evacuate," he said to his best friend Dan. "They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people the f--k out of here." And so Rick picked up his megaphone as he had done so many times before, told his employees not to listen to the orders, and directed them out of the building. His Cornish songs helped keep their nerves calm as they evacuated, even after the second plane hit their Tower. Once he had successfully evacuated his employees, Rick went back to look for survivors. But first, he called his wife Susan. "Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."

Rick rushed back to the South Tower. That was the last time anyone saw him alive. All but 6 of the more than 2700 Morgan Stanley employees survived. Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would all be dead. Thankfully, they listened to Rick instead. Rest in Peace, Rick. Thank you for your service.”

Great Styx episode. To me there’s no mystery at all why DeSantis can be “a cutthroat Governor” but a failing presidential candidate. In Florida, he followed his instincts. In the national race, he’s listening to handlers, who are Trump and America haters, and grifters, basically. Therefore he does not resonate with Americans who are “tired of the shit” government is throwing at us.
