I went back and watched it twice. Christie seemed reluctant, but raised his hand after Pence and DeSantis looked around and raised their hands.

I caught the Ada comment too. It piqued my interest because he always has a reason to give people new names even if we don't understand why right away.

I'm a boomer that spent four years on the East German border waiting for the Russians to swarm through the Fulda Gap before the Berlin Wall fell and feel very much as you do about Vladimir Putin.

In real life I'm a conspiracy theorist and just plain crazy.

I found Q and y'all in January of 2018 and it made me feel much less alone since then.

Still crazy in real life though.

I think mine were nine generations back from me … I am the 11th from the guy that came from Scotland. His grandchildren played parts in the activities of April 18 and 19th.

They met Samuel Prescott coming back from visiting his girlfriend. She was a sister to a minuteman that played a role in the activities of the following day. Prescott was captured and died in captivity. The minuteman brother died of swamp fever during the war. My linage goes through a different brother that survived. When the British retreated from Concord to Lexington they burned the family’s home and clock factory resulting in my family suffering 1/4 of the country’s losses on April 19th, 1775.

It's a Viking method of execution. The ribs are severed from the spine and the lungs pulled through the opening to create a pair of wings.

It's quite common here in Germany.

The local Catholic Church comes around and marks the lintel with the year and K ✝ M ✝ B  (K is for Kaspar rather than Caspar).

Where I live is more Evangelical than Catholic so there are fewer doors marked, but not too far North of here it's much more Catholic so you see a lot more doors marked like that.

There's also another custom for January 6th/Epiphany where a coin or some other item (we use an old ring) is baked inside a cake and the person that finds it is, "King for the day."

I smell fear and I live 6500 km east of Washington D.C.

That's a lengthy list, but I know it's something I have to do. Thank you for the reminder.

No, but I'd believe she's related to David Hogg.

AOC left the room when the room went dark and Rosie Perez came in when they turned the lights back on.

I honestly have no idea one way or the other, but I used to live in Atlanta and while I've never met Lin Wood I had a really good friend that was also friends with him and all I ever heard was good things about him.

For whatever reason, people change and that may be what happened with Lin. I hope not.
