Um. Hmm. If he has any little grandchildren who are sad about grandpa’s death, then they have my sympathy.

Otherwise I got nothin’.

Yes 🤷‍♀️

It’s a luxury item. I just can’t find any sympathy.

Just retire, mitch

He’s not the only one obsessed with his death…. And once he’s out of office, one way or the other, it’s not up to him who we bomb.

well of course. We’re not going to give Qatar any secret information about AF1 defenses.

They would put out three big metal plates for the thing to land on; so not only aiming for the right section of lawn, but getting the wheels exactly on the plates. And the new helicopters vented their exhaust downward, so burning the grass became a thing.

From what I understand, it didn’t actually use to be a problem; the older helicopters vented their exhaust upwards. The newer ones vent downward, and burn the grass.

Like what the fuck?! Who on earth needs to be told to do this ?? Just don’t fucking do it in the first place !

LOL!!

I can’t fucking wait until the adults are in charge again. 🤦‍♀️

Does it? I know it used to, but they built the current press room over top of it. (The pool is still physically there—they stash A/V equipment down there now, I think. )

I wish the news would carry something about the hundreds of people carrying a giant copy of the declaration of independence constitution down constitution ave.

Actually this was the local D.C. parade, not anything to do with freedumb250. It’s usually very well attended. But definitely too damn hot today.

Peter, honey, nobody cares what you think.

Mitch, god is telling you to retire. Listen to her.

It snowed a few inches, then sleeted on top of it for hours. The sleet caused the snow to compact, and by the time it was done, a shovelful of the stuff weighed 50 pounds. People were breaking it up with metal shovels and building igloos out of it. Big highway plows on dumptrucks were riding right over the top of it. The only way to move it was with those little skid steer things with shovels on the front. Even they would get jammed up under it and their front wheels would come off the ground.

Cities dug the stuff up and put it in dumptrucks and took it to places like the parking lots of sports arenas and piled it three and four stories high, and it didn’t completely melt until, like, May. I forget where it was, maybe Baltimore, where the snow/ice pile was so heavy it cracked the surface of the parking lot it was piled on.

Someone remarked that his yard looked like the Shackleton Expedition.

Oh, and this was in the midst of several days of overnight lows in the single digits and days in the teens.

after that snowcrete we had here in the midlantic, I swore I’d never complain about the heat again. It’s tough, but I’m holding to my promise. (It’s only 98 out so far.)
