That was added to the originnal report nand may, I suppose, be in error.

But it does sound like Grassley.

Democrats had no other professional comedian to that level in their ranks. A smart comedian is someone who is an exceptional observer, someone who can explain the important issues in a way that transcends many different groups of people. This is a very special gift. One that Zelensky was gifted as well.

Democrats were extremely lucky to have Al Franken run for them , and then win his seat. What a tool in their arsenal.

But we all know what happened next.

Even giver them freedom of choice - turn over your cell phoe for safekeeping, or do not enter the meeting.

(I'm not that clever, I saw the suggestion at Daily Kos.)

Why aren’t there any penalties leveled against these two reckless assholes? Or are they pro-Russian sympathizers? Any Russians giving them campaign donations
