Looking at the dais last night it scared me

to think that if something happens to Obama and Biden, Boehner would be in charge.

The guy is an utter mess - he is a drunk who is nothing more than a puppet of the NRA, the Kochs and all the others that have money.

If a person has to pee in a cup to get SNAP assistance, how about a little drug and alcohol testing for those who make policy for the government?

And Boehner is barely holding holding his caucus together, given how far right some of them are. I bet the white supremacist isn't even the furthest right of the lot.

As I posted last night, whodda thunk Boehner would start looking like a keeper?

about his skin color. Could his liver be failing from his drinking giving him that jaundiced look? of course the likes of him will probably get a liver transplant if he needs it.

died at @ Boehner's current age.
My recollection was that he was an ashen white his last year.
But that was nearly 40 years back so the old memory could be quite fuzzy
