Oddly enough I was a Missouri native transplanted to southern OK at the time and I felt like Superman.

We got hammered and it was a month before we had power at our place, and we were stuck out of work and with little to no town infrastructure up and running for at least two weeks.

I pushed people out of flat sections of road (because in OK you apparently can get stuck just trying to move forward at a stoplight) with my Ford Taurus on mud tires and we kept the house warm with fish fryers in the living room and blankets stapled to the living room doorways.

We drank ice cold beer we kept on the porch and I literally cooked a few squirrels, because “well we’re supposed to be in survival mode, right?” My wife was less than enthused… and ate spaghetti and meatballs she cooked on the fish fryer…

Now I know why everyone looks at me weird when I love days like today…

Googling this, thought this was interesting, the bill Democrats tried to pass to do the same thing back in 2022 https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-text-nancy-pelosi-house-democrats-stock-trading-ban-2022-9

Actual text of current bill. Just like most contracts I don't feel like I understand this verbiage correctly enough without interpretation from someone that actually does this for a living. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8990/text

This would make sense (to explain the delay) if while sitting there there were tons of orders going out ahead of mine. It's usually just one or maybe two folks ahead of me when I go.

It's not going to stop me from going and I might start ordering ahead. My lunch destination though is often made at a whim while on the road. :)

Again your reading comprehension is quite lacking. At no point did is say it wasn't a coup. I said Hawley "cheered" the crowd before it was clear what they were going to do. Your criticism amounts to nothing more than him once slightly moving his fist in a way you didn't like.

Now, if I'm uniformed about something.. if he was proven in some way to be more involved in orchestrating the (pathetic attempt at a) coup.. please let me know.

Nice charged language. I "stood against" the bill by stating that I'd back a similar bill written by another legislator. And from that, you got "dar, this guy loves corruption".

And since we're here: You realize I don't actually have a vote in Congress right? That what I think of the bill and its shitheel author is irrelevant to whether the bill is passed, right?
