The penalty? Apparently, you get banned from speaking on the record for the rest of the day, and what you said is deleted from the Congressional Record. Small price to pay, seems to me. I’d speak the truth.
Old, large, cranky. Gotta go to the bathroom.
Also, that picture isn’t me.

Grazi. Hope you didn’t have to pay twice.
Looks like the link is formatted correctly, but The Times is demanding a password.
What a screwball take.
And as always always always happens in cases like this, there’s no indication that the officers involved were disciplined in any way.
Biden then said, “And what happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit, and help fix it.’" This is way too deep in the nettles for me to remember or even google; do you have any idea whether that trip to Detroit was about the pandemic, or (like TBD seems to think) about the recession?
I appreciate the research you’ve put into this, kind sir or ma’am.
Astonishingly, the attacks of 9/11 had little effect on the Saudi approach to religious extremism, as diplomats and intelligence officials have attested. What finally changed royal minds was the experience of suffering an attack on Saudi soil. In May 2003, gunmen and suicide bombers struck three residential compounds in Riyadh, killing 39 people. The authorities attributed the attacks to al-Qaeda, and cooperation with the U.S. improved quickly and dramatically.
Suspicion: The attack was actually planned and/or executed by the CIA or some US agency you’ve never heard of. RIP, 39 people, but America got the policy cooperation it wanted.
Trump is your dumbass wingnut uncle, the loudmouth with an opinion he loudly shares about everything, always wrong and always mean. That’s all he is, plus money all his life, so he’s famous and about 40,000,000 dumbass wingnut uncles just love him.
Do they not teach government and civics in schools any more?
No, they do not. In most American school districts, civics classes are no longer part of the curriculum.
My own damned brother is among the millions who really believe this.
OMG, man, until you made me look closer I thought it was three photos of the same guy.
Are we supposed to believe the US hasn’t already been sharing intel with Israel, like, since 1948?
Exactly the truth. Let’s abandon empty labels like ‘pro’ and ‘anti’ Palestine and Israel, and tell the truth. One side is pro-genocide, one side is anti-genocide, and an embarrassingly huge number of people are undecided.
‘Counterprotestors’ seems absolutely and obviously the wrong word.
I want to keep rich people rich, black people down, control women’s lives, cut holes in the safety net, end regulations, and ‘privatize’ government services, but be all green about it.
The AP’s shitty coverage doesn’t even mention that the undercover cop who got severely beaten is black.
Cops beat a black undercover cop at a protest, because he was (a) black and (b) at a protest. Of course, cops routinely beat protesters, especially black protesters, but everyone who’s beaten doesn’t get a fat payout like this. Only cops, and only if they sue.
Man, that is one trippy historical turn of events.
