The WaPo is covering that remarkable sit-in by Democratic House members, and reports on their innovative use of smart phones to get around the official ban on broadcasting from the House floor: C-SPAN makes history via Periscope.
From the looks of it, some of the older Members ought to think twice before sitting-in like that. At their age, getting back up from the floor might not be so easy. They aren't as spry as they used to be back in the 60s.
I have obtained the full streaming video of this historic event, for your use and enjoyment.
P.S. "Don't take the brown acid. The brown acid is bad."

TSB: Looks like you shut em down! And I did see them have to pick up and carry one large black lady in a red dress who needed help getting up. I think it took 6 guys.gwb
ps: Heroin Use In The United States Reaches A 20 Year High! (overdose deaths too!) gwb
TSB: Brits deciding to toss the EU! Might be a good time to sell stocks, sell crooked Hillary and Janet and buy Trump! (today on a conservative radio show Trump said he was preparing to announce his VP and cabinet when the radio guy told him candidates don't do that ahead of the convention. Trump said: "Oh, really? I didn't know that, well, Thanks!" Looking like Cameron and Blair's worst fears are coming true! gwb
TSB: An anonymous comment on Brexit:
So I’ll keep it short and sweet:
Over the past ten to fifteen years at companies within the U.K., whenever there’s been even a hint of a possible workers’ strike, foreign workers have been flown in to replace those immediately laid-off workers!
After Brexit --- this will be illegal!
Just as in America if the TPP, or Trans-Pacific Partnership, passes.
He goes on to give several examples of Bush and Obama doing the same thing. Workers have had enough! France Spain Italy Sweden and Denmark will be next. gwb

TSB: I thought President Obama's warning about Brexit was strangely condescending,but when it blew up in his face and he rushed over to apologize it seemed to me it just raised the level of yelling and screaming between the two sides. Got to give the guy credit though, When he shows up in person stuff happens! gwb
TSB: I wonder where Biden was with all this Brexit mayhem. Turns out he was in Ireland yesterday 'Dublin Down' on the idea that Obama didn't mean what he said about 'Brits will have to move to the back of the line if they pass Brexit'. I spose he's off to Germany today to give Merkel a shoulder rub and congratulate VW on their $10 billion settlement with US customers. gwb
A little something for you Skep:

TSB: Pretty good article on the military situation the Brits find themselves in now. With great military strategists like Hillary and Trump running things Putin might be seeing some opportunities. gwb

TSB: Unconfirmed sources are saying the Ayatollah Khomenei has died. Ted Koppel could not be reached for comment but I'm thinking this could lead to a messy end to the revolution. gwb
I think Iran has a deep bench of political leaders and lots of continuity in the revolutionary government. Mexico's PRI kept their revolution going from the 1920s to - when was it? - just a couple elections ago.
Skep,
You may be right there, but that doesn't preclude a rather nasty intra mural succession fight between the IRG and the Mullahs.
TSB: It Appears the Scots have veto power over the Brits on leaving the EU. Something called parliamentry consent they put in in 1998. And since they voted 62% to Remain they intend to use it! Those Scotts always were the brighter half! gwb

TSB: I'm so glad Bernie is out of this thing now as another former Clinton friend dies the day before testifying on the Charlie Trie Case! Trump has a lot of guts to run against this pair. I'd hate to be Trump's pilot or chef. gwb

Ok Guys! Tomorrow at the EU Summitt they are going to announce the answer to all this fuss! It's called 'The Final Solution'. gwb
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-27/eu-officials-unveil-ultimatum-blueprint-final-solution-european-super-state
The foreign ministers of France and Germany are reportedly due to reveal a blueprint to effectively do away with individual member states in what is being described as an "ultimatum." As The Express reports, the shockingly predictable final solution to Europe's Brexit-driven existential crisis is an apparently long-held plan to morph the continent’s countries into one giant superstate. The radical proposals mean EU countries will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system or central bank, with all those powers being transferred to Brussels. (TSB: Looks like the cost of embassy security will be going up? I hear banjo music!) gwb
