1. Hell No, I'm not recusing myself

Them billionaires own my honorable ass and the lifestyle they have provided Jinny and me is way too fine to give up for trivial matters like honesty and integrity. And I think it’s unfair to single me out. My fellow honorable judge Alito has almost as sweet a deal as I do. Hell we’re only talking a couple of votes a year.

2. Exactly. And so far nothing has been done

Though Senator Whitehouse has done a stellar job of leading the investigation into SCOTUS corruption.

3. I got a lot of favorite Senators

But Senator WhiteHouse is at the top of my list. What a brilliant, articulate, honest statesman. His staff must be cream of the crop.

4. Oh, same here! He doesn't just pontificate, he takes action!

And he makes the rounds of cable shows spreading the word about both SCOTUS corruption and climate change, both issues he leads in Congress.

I went to a family event last weekend, my Dad's cousin turned 90. And I happened to sit next to a niece who told me she arrived the day before from Rhode Island. So I couldn't help it, I told her how much I admired her senator, Sheldon Whitehouse. And she just kinda shrugged as if she'd never heard of him. Definitely a major problem in this country.

5. Yes it is My Dear

Know your elected officials. Sadly I know mine. I won’t boor you, but ROGER MARSHALL, Junior Senator of Kansas is Cruz and Hawley and Johnson without the notoriety. He would vote to destroy America in a heartbeat. Because that’s what conservatives aim to do.

6. And I have Stefanik.

[BOSSHOG]

7. Doesn't she have

A serious challenger or am I confused? She is a serious scourge on liberty and Justice for all, and in a typically conservative attitude, doesn’t care.

8. She's had several since 2015 and she was followed by protesters when she first took office

But over the succeeding elections it seems like I've seen even more "Elise" signs - and she managed to win again last November and took the opportunity on election night to endorse TFG for 2024.
