    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Sat Sep 30 11:45:14 2023
    In what may be the first time the word "shitter" has entered the
    Congressional record, Rep. Jasmine Crockett took Republicans to task
    for pursuing the Biden impeachment inquiry while turning a blind eye
    to Trump's alleged misconduct. https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1707493265904193906

    “If they would continue to say ‘if’ or ‘Hunter’ and we’re playing a drinking game, I would be drunk by now because I promise you, they have
    not talked about the subject of this, which would be the president,”
    Crockett said.

    She said she found it “disturbing” that no one can point to a crime committed by the president. . Each of the expert witnesses called by Republicans to the hearing said there wasn’t currently enough evidence
    to impeach Biden.

    “I can’t seem to find the crime and no one has testified what crime
    they believe the president of the United States has committed,” she
    added. She said the GOP is acting like they are blind to evidence, then referred to the documents found in Trump’s Mara Lago bathroom. She then listed the number of indictments and counts currently against Trump.
    “These are our national secrets – looks like in the sh—er to me,” Crockett said.

    One can get a point across without being vulgar. This is just another
    example to show the downturn of our society at large. Morals and ethics
    out the window as this kind of behavior becomes accepted in public...
    It simply looks uncouth, uneducated, and unprofessional. You are
    representing our country and people; Do better!

    Keep in mind, this is your view. I believe she was using the slang
    version of that word, not the vulgar version.

    "grass is slang for marijuana"

    Vulgar tends to be associated with "making explicit and offensive
    reference to sex or bodily functions; coarse and rude."

    Possibly, but even still, from a professional stand point, "slang" is a
    bad look. If you say it enough, and people become conditioned to not
    care, I guess.

    I'm amazed at some of the language on TV and radio which they get away
    with. Some commercials are also sickening.

    As "awesome."

    Does anybody know what painting that is, or how one would find out?

    I'm sure she's wearing clothes, but tasteless. Mildly amusing, I guess.

    If that was Siebelist's painting in a gallery, the winter coat worn is
    atypical attire in many geo-locations.

    Statistically, that visual composition would be experienced
    differently, depending upon a person's age, sex, and awareness.
