      To be speakers, there's a lot of paperwork and there's a lot of things that you got to look over and talk and write. There is no way he's going to do that. He will get bored and want to leave. He'll probably sit in that speaker chair with his arms folded looking back and forth totally bored. Yeah he would suck as a speaker.

They'll just end up using whoever that is until the next congress takes over, because I think all of them know that literally the only person who 'could' win, did. The others will go much more than 15 rounds if they had to. But because it's not the start of a session the vote isn't as required to continue as it was the last time.

Dave told him politely he wasn't allowed to park there. Got the usual "I'll just be a few minutes." Dave told him no. Guy swore at him. Dave said he'd have to write a ticket. Guy told him mall cops can't write tickets, told him to shove it. Dave wrote a ticket. Guy tore it up. Dave wrote a second ticket, citing the offense of tearing up the first one. Guy demanded to see a manager. Manager backed up Dave. Guy raised a fuss about harassment, threatened to call cops. Dave and manager said, "Please do." So the guy called the police. Officer arrived, listened to his complaint, and promptly wrote him another ticket, pointing out that it was in addition to the two Dave wrote.

After all, you're a lot older at this point and have used up the creativity you once had." Which is to say - - if y'all are so very unconscious to continue to bury the fading Middle Class and Lower Class with staggering gas prices (leading to staggering food and goods costs), then you get the poverty you're choosing and, eventually, the wrath of the chunk of of the population already buried in debt.
