“I have broken more Elton John records. He seems to have a lot of records. And I, by the way, I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar or an organ. No organ. Elton has an organ. And lots of other people helping. No, we’ve broken a lot of records. We’ve broken virtually every record. Because you know, look, I only need this space. They need much more room. For basketball, for hockey and all of the sports, they need a lot of room. We don’t need it. We have people in that space. So we break all of these records. Really, we do it without, like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical – the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth, right? The brain. More important than the mouth is the brain. The brain is much more important.”

Here is a summary of what I posted about (Louie Gohmert was the jackass to whom I was referring):

"I've talked to FBI agents around the country. You've embarrassed them; you've embarrassed yourself," Gohmert said. "And I can't help but wonder, when I see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocent into your wife's eye and lie to her about Lisa Page?"

"This is an intolerable harassment of a witness!" shouted Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island.

"What is wrong with us? You need your medication," said Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey.

After some more commotion, Strzok responded: "The fact that you would question whether or not that was the sort of look I would engage with in a family member who I have acknowledged hurting, goes more to a discussion about your character and what you stand for and what is going inside you."

As a NATO summit he threw into chaos wrapped up Thursday, President Donald Trump cheekily declared himself a “very stable genius.”

The other world leaders present mostly begged to differ.

Denmark’s foreign minister, Anders Samuelsen, chimed in with his own concern: “It is a new reality, and you have to look past both spelling and factual mistakes and take Trump serious when he barrels forward with his Twitter.”

When a Croatian journalist confronted Trump about his inconsistencies, the president flatly denied there were any, and he repeated a defense of his own sanity that he had made when previously questioned about his fitness for the presidency.

“We understand your message, but some people ask themselves, will you be tweeting differently once you board the Air Force One?” the reporter said.

The Scots are more then pissed the he managed to purchase Turnberry, and the people hardly love him. "Donald Trump is deeply unpopular in many countries outside of the United States—but perhaps nowhere more so than in Scotland." Unfortunately the Scottish police refused the request to fly the baby blimp over Turnberry while he plays, but the upside is that the good folks that helped populate Appalachia, dangerously haul fur trade in canoes for the likes of the Hudson Bay Company as effectively indentured servants being paid company script, and had Mary Anne chain migrate to America have turned the corner to forceful oppose one of their least favorite sons, perhaps fueled by their mastering of distillation (another hallmark of Appalachia).
