On the one hand that's a pretty good reason... on the other hand, if you're gonna be afraid to vote for what you believe is right and can't do your job properly you should resign immediately.

yeah, a legit concern but not really a valid excuse if you hold the position.

 

[IdleRich]

Nicely put.

Apparently Trump is now saying that he won't pay Rudy for the efforts he put in to defend him, overturn the election etc. To be fair they weren't worth much, but then he didn't have much to work with did he?

This is fantastic.

Have we had this yet? A Democratic representative (who happens to be black, and a woman) says all the panic buttons in her congressional office had been removed prior to the riot:

Democratic Rep. Says Authorities Probing Her Report That Her Office Panic Buttons Were Removed Before Capitol Riot

Staffers for Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) were sheltering in their office on Wednesday when they noticed all of their panic buttons had been “torn out.”

Craner's had a crush on her for years. He fantasises about being Alan Greenspan.

Yes.

I detest Ayn Rand. Highly vulgar. Terrible prose. Even worse teeth.

Yes.

You have a very narrow mind for a Magical Thinker.

I actually read one of Greenspan's books and the main thing that stood out to me was the bit when he talks about jamming with Stan Getz.

I thought you might say "as a novelist, a failure. Highly vulgar. Terrible teeth. As a thinker, Scintillating."

You have a very narrow mind for a Magical Thinker.

You have to have a secure base as a magical thinker or you float away into the wide blue yonder.

No, a very vulgar thinker.
