Isn’t going for ice cream Joe’s thing? Why Trump is copying Biden is what I want to know. They must think it’s an effective strategy in conveying some commonality with the general public.
Also, did Trump insist on two scoops while everyone else got one?
He ain’t Donny Two-Scoops for nothin’.

That doesn’t say he was using his own phone. It’s pretty common for jails to give phone privileges to inmates, which means that inmate can place a collect call from a phone owned by the jail. Since he hasn’t even been convicted of a crime at this point, it isn’t improbable he’d have phone privileges
I won.
I absolutely agree with this. I explain to folks an equivalent analysis - I used to live in Orange County, California (for those who don’t know it, a traditionally Republican county in the Los Angeles urban region, now starting to trend towards Blue as the Repubs gasp for air in CA). Orange County actually has more voters (just over 1.8 million) than Wyoming (just over 280,000) and yet they get two Senators and we have to share our two with the other 20 million or so CA voters. This is fundamentally broken at the architectural level.
FWIW, I’m also a big fan of ranked choice voting, as I feel it helps avoid the “split the rational vote and we get a TFG” result) (lest we forget that he never got more than about 30 percent of the Republican primary! vote, but with another 13 or so dipshits in the race who refused to bow out to split the rest of the vote, well, to quote Kurt Vonnegut - “And so it goes…”
And don’t get me started on how a Parliamentary system promotes alliances between multiple parties, compared to the fustercluck we have in the US…

One failed datapoint doesn’t negate the system, just as the United States doesn’t negate the concept of democracy (And yes, that’s a joke. I do still think what we have is way better than a very large percentage of the rest of the world - I just wish we could apply some needed upgrades to a system that’s been hobbling along on hacks and patches for over 200 years! )
Kevin has decided to showcase Republican nonsense. Pure gold for late night comedy writers.

Yeah. Questions. People have all these questions, see? And because there are so many questions, it justifies almost any stunt we care to pull. Questions give us the right to attack, over-run, and ransack our Capitol. Throw out elections we don’t like. And to dodge subpoenas. And commit felonies. But we’re going to get to the bottom of this, if we have to shut down every working facet of America, in order to answer some of these questions…
Britain’s parliament hasn’t been doing so great in recent years, but still, I’d take Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson, or even Lettuce Lady over Trump, McConnell, and Qevin McCarthy.
Aw, man.
Strong — who passed away Sunday, Jan. 29, at the age of 81 in Detroit — co-wrote some of Motown’s most enduring hits.
Send that nitwit a comb. And a mirror. Or new glasses.
Vyacheslav Volodin --The Kevin McCarthy of Russia? The Duma speaker has been around in politics about as long as Kevin McCarthy, lingering close to power, but staying just outside the blast zone. He’s getting increasing mention as the possible placeholder successor to Putin during the 2-3 year transition before the next long-term leader appears. Like McCarthy, he spends most of his days spouting nonsense but understands well how the Kremlin game is played.
