So, American Congress having hearings. Seems some folks are not all that happy about it. But today I heard a Doug Collins referring to something, not sure what it was, but I could have swore I heard him say that someone was "besmirking the dead". Does anyone have any idea what this is?

No doubt, it has something to do with "getting to the oranges of the Russia investigation", as the target of the investigations, Suspect #1 put it. Something about a Squid going pro? Go for it, Squidward! He'll make a fine Republican Congress critter, in spite of being an invertebrate.

Move to strike the last word. Ball in your court, Soylentils.

Oh, and Louie Gohmert hates education.

    Take it as you will. I tend to not use words that I don't know - but not everyone follows that rule. Could be, the guy you were listening to has a better understanding of the English language than you do. Could also be that he jes' don't know good 'Murican English.

    Hmmm,maybe Ari is super clever, outing all the Russian shills who might not catch on to besmirk / besmirch. Everyone else thinks Runaway is human, but only a robot could be commanded to incorporate such paradoxical nonsense. A real person's brain would develop Alzheimers in self-defense!
