4. He's run for everything but dog catcher.

And he'd probably lose that race too.

3. Now Jim Oberweis Gets to Get Kicked

Out of Lauren's seat.

I thought I had read LU lost.. & now I know why.. all the votes weren't counted & the maggot idiot shoved his way in.

5. I wish Nancy would have thrown him out on his ass, or had security hand cuff him and

march him out in front of news cameras.

6. This is the definition of rich, white privilege on steroids!

I'm also thinking of the scene from the "Seinfeld" episode, where George Costanza completely blows up at his boss, insulting him in all kinds of personal ways before finally declaring he's quitting. He's immediately filled with regret in the aftermath, and then attempts to stroll back into work on the following Monday morning, acting as if he never had the confrontation with his boss at all!

7. Maybe he got some Washington DC Covid as a consolation prize.

8. I work in this district.

The Oberweis signs outnumbered the Underwoods signs, made one want to spit each time you saw one. The Oberweis family has supported anti-LGT causes for some time now. Their ice cream delivery trucks are a sight to behold, looks like an ad for the Aryan nation. Some trucks have an extremely blond, extremely white little girl, some have 3 very white children, 2 boys and one girl.

So pleased for this district that Oberweis will not be able to stink it up with their undo, undeserved privilege.
