Maybe he saw an ad for whole-body MRI scans on late night TV & decided he wanted one, or assumed because of such ads that screening MRIs are normal rather than just a moneymaking scheme.

He wants everything to be as it was when he was 25 or so, so he doesn‘t have to have any new thoughts. Bring back the USSR (better than all these inconvenient independent countries), bring back stagflation, bring back US-backed Latin American coups, bring back nuclear testing (photo op!), etc.

How menacing. Democracy might break out.

To be fair, if Biden had loudly violated his oath of office six times a day, mere inflation might not have been the top story then, either.

I stayed at one in Atlanta on a government per diem years ago (as a clerk to a 2d Cir senior judge sitting with the 11th Cir.). I think they had a government rate or something. It was probably less than I paid for a budget room for sittings in NYC, & definitely well within the per diem.

It’s less an ultimatum than a 50-day green light to bomb as much as they like.

Every Senator who failed to vote to impeach the first time, never mind the second, should be ashamed of themselves.
