I know how to resolve the Speaker problem
All 217 Repugs have their name entered as candidates. After all, they are all greedy enough in their hearts to want to advance above being a loser.
They all get in a room while armed with weapons of their choice.
They hold a secret ballot.
Whoever gets the most votes by convincing at least one of the other 216 to vote for him/her instead of themselves and survives to walk out the door, becomes Speaker.
Man cleared of charges in ransom plot to turn Confederate chair into a toilet

I guess that if you're a true Confederate, it's okay to make your leader's monument a toilet but libtards had better not move it from a place of honor.
The Guardian had a good article on where Israel is going - and it's not good news.

We got our Covid shots at Sam's Club yesterday but they only sold them in 12 packs so now
my wife and I have 10 shots left over. I don't know if they will freeze long enough for the next time. However, they were a bargain we couldn't pass up!
I appreciate the dial-up warning. With the 110 baud acoustic coupler attached to my rotary phone,
it takes forever to load. Every Sunday, it's an hours-long effort to download the pics. Luckily, nobody on my party line ruins it for me as they know i will share the pictures with them when it's done.
One of these days, I'll switch over to the 1GBit fiber that I haven't gotten around to using yet.
I got Covid recently. Will I go to hell?
I got Covid recently, then a neighbor and his wife came over before I realized I had it. She caught it from me. Will I now go to hell?
See, I broke one of the Ten Commandments
Man was given a 72-year-old egg with a message on it. Social media users helped him find the writer
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/man-1951-egg-with-message-social-media-helped-him-find-writer/The most memorable item in his home is an unusual find: A chicken egg that a neighbor found in an egg carton in 1951. Written on the egg is a message from a Miss Mary Foss of Forest City, Iowa.
"Whoever gets this egg please write," Foss had written, along with her name and location. Amalfitano said his neighbor held onto the egg for 50 years, without bothering to find Foss or write back.
The neighbor then gave it to Amalfitano, who held onto it for another two decades before sharing photos on social media. He posted pictures of it on a "Weird and Wonderful Secondhand Finds" Facebook page, wondering to the three million members of the group if Foss was still alive.
Foss, now 92 years old, told CBS News that she remembered writing on the egg.

What can we do to help them?
My suggestion is to get together and create a GoFundMe campaign to buy popcorn - and ask them to join in!
Think about it. You had one day of "fun", being stupid with your friends. Then you think
every day for 18 months "When will they arrest me? And how long a sentence will I get?"
What will jail be like?
The wait alone can be excruciating because you can't make long term commitments.
You meet someone you want to marry but you have to tell him/her you may have to be gone for 5 years. What will they do even if they promise to stand by you?
You try telling your friends the "war stories" of what you did but both you and they keep thinking "The sentence may get bigger every time I open my mouth".
You are afraid to tell your boss that, at any time, the feds may come to your job site and take you out in handcuffs in front of all your friends.
You think about what this is going to do to your life savings after legal costs and fines.
Five years with no job so no IRA contributions, no SS payments for future SS payout, tough time getting a job with your record.
You can't enjoy what you have now because you know that at any time the doorbell might ring and you jump when a neighbor stops by in the evening unexpectedly and rings it or the UPS delivery guy makes an early stop at your place.
It is so sad what you have to go through and you haven't even started your sentence. I feel sorry for you. But I'm the only one. Everyone you know and don't know will be saying "Bye STUPID! You're getting everything you deserved. Ha! Ha!" as they make comments about you and your future.
I just love it!
