In case you needed more proof that Gohmert is one of the most truly abhorrent people in Congress, which is a very, very high (low?) bar to clear. Like, Ted Cruz/Rand Paul levels of disgustingness as a human being.

He needs a gun to protect him from the make believe things he can’t see, but God will protect him from real dangers, obviously.

I know!  I’m so excited!  Ahh!!!

Just saw that!  Amazing!

Yo! That’s legitimately the best thing I’ve seen in ages! I hope (i) it’s real, and (ii) they’re spectacular...I mean, that they succeed!  Amazing!  Almost as awesome as patrickredford.kinja.com for late-breaking sprots news and analysis!

I’m loving all of this sprots coverage lately on The Slot.  Top notch stuff.  I hope it inspires G/O Media to start a sprots website, something without access, favor or discretion.

Very good point.

This is such a great piece of advice - I’ll try it with the kids, but I’m excited about doing this for myself. Thanks.

You must be referring to https://unnamedtemporarysportsblog.com/, which is the first site I check every morning for up to the minute sprots news and analysis.

In modern Hebrew it’s pronounced “Taf”, while in Ashkenazik Hebrew (Yiddish-influenced, and the way I learned and use it), it’s pronounced “Saf”, while the…

Haha...no worries.

I’ve taken both Illinois and California and in both you were allowed a clear bag with pens, pencils, ear plugs, computer power cord, mouse, tissues, or things like that. I suppose tampons could be brought in there, too, and in both places I took exams the bathrooms were inside the check-in zone, so, theoretically, you…

Very cool! Yeah, it’s really interesting to see how close Hebrew and Arabic are, though I’ve always thought Arabic sounds more fluid and pretty, almost French-like.

I mean, to be fair, as a Jewish non-physician, this was exactly what I was sent after my Bubbie, aleha ha’shalom, was nifteres, even though I gave her a great-grandson with Zaide’s name.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly, but I have my dreams, damnit!
