    Been ages since I've had any Oakley's, yet I think I'll give 'em a shot again, as I just dropped and stepped on my Revo's crushing the things, (a rare moment in which I cuss at myself)...
    Optometrist showed me a pair of Oakley's and twisted them 180 degrees, blew my mind; but not the pair I want, yet cool tech for optics to bend 'em at will...

    Maui Jim's, where did you find those? Never heard of 'em, but am always interested in Optics. Wonder if you knew, the B2-B Windows, (1Mil a copy; 6 req'd per ship) were made right there in Perry, Ga, by PPG, (which I believe closed or laid off the majority of peeps, not long ago? Not sure tho'). We had a 2nd B2 Windoows sub-contractor in Melbournne Fla, where those boys couldn't get 'em right; and lost their contract on that AC. Yet Perry continued on, finishing as the sole window contractor for the Program to its last days. Those windows are designed to withstand a Nuclear EMI/EMP.

    Now if I could only find a pair of shades with EMI/EMP blasts, My eyes would survive, while my body turned to ash....(chuckle).... I gotta' look up Maui Jim's; as Ray Ban/Bausch n Lombe are becoming problematic in their product Quality...

    ...Oh, this is nice;


    [​IMG]CSPAN

    ✔@cspan

    CLIP: Protesters yell "Kill the bill" and "Shame" from the Senate gallery. C-SPAN does not control cameras in the Senate.

    2:43 PM - 25 Jul 2017

    A curious thing happened in the moments that immediately followed: Journalists covering the event reported that they were hastily instructed by "staffers" and/or Capitol Police to delete any photos they may have snapped or video they may have recorded of the protest.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    Muffled chants of "Kill the bill" and "Shame" remained audible even after the sergeant at arms removed the demonstrators from their seats and the Senate came to order. The sight of 50 stone-faced lawmakers gritting their teeth and callously pretending to be unable to hear the furious, terrified constituents assembled literally outside the door—and then flagrantly ignoring the First Amendment in an outrageous attempt to keep images of a peaceful protest secret—is the grimmest possible metaphor for the bottomless cynicism and unvarnished cruelty of this Republican Party, for whom silencing dissent and gambling with people's lives are acceptable prices to pay for the right to stand on the South Lawn and, if they're lucky, get their picture taken shaking hands with a grinning Donald Trump.

    He and the Republican congress people & Senate are not caring about 26 million people losing their
    health care.........siblings in my family will be losing their health care. They are barely holding on as it is.
    I am furious how negligible this Party's words & actions toward Americans in need. They just want to bury
    the name "Obama" attached to anything. Just wish he would stop lying to us. He is delusional thinking
    he has achieved so much..........of nothing! He definitely is not putting Americans first. I am sick of his
    bullshit.

    ^^^...it's mind boggling that they're actually proud of a plan that 85% of Americans don't support.

    wtf- "Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the Fandango???"

    Wikipedia:
    Scaramuccia (literally "little skirmisher"), also known as Scaramouche or Scaramouch, is a stock clown character of the Italian commedia dell'arte (comic theatrical arts). The role combined characteristics of the zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a don, he was often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice.

    SAND_Maurice_Masques_et_bouffons_07.jpg

    Scaramouch, sometimes spelled scaramouche, is defined by the dictionary as a boastful, cowardly comic figure in Italian entertainment most popular from the 16th to 19th centuries. In a general sense, it was meant to convey a "cowardly buffoon" or "rascal," the dictionary said.

    (he's not)....

    The white house just got dirtier. Trump has no fkng idea what's he's doing....neither does this little ass-clown....

    ...between the "skinny repeal failure and the vote on Russian sanctions, maybe more and more of the GOP members will finally stop being afraid of Trump because they are realizing that he has done nothing for them and they don't owe him anything.

    ...also laughing at Trump once again flip-flopping on the Senate's Trumpcare effort...how many times has he boasted how great the Senate's plan "is going to be for Americans" every time the GOP thought they were close to passing it?...but now that it has failed he is now boasting that "hey, I told you all along that they should just let Obamacare collapse, then rebuild". ...LOL, I suppose that's some kind of retroactive narcissism ?

    ...it's an indictment on our country in general that there are still so many sheep that continue to blindly follow this mindless cartoon of a president.

    ^^^^ excellent points. If this week's repetive failure is indictive of Trump and the GOP's inability to govern, or come to any agreements at all, incapable of getting anything done, then it will be a blood bath in 2020 for all conservatives, I believe.

    give Trump enough rope and he should hang himself; especially once those loyal to him disown him, refusing to provide advice. Better yet I'd love to see replacement candidates (for the WH staff) refuse the job offers, flat out refuse to work for the moron in those words, or more. Like Hitler, no one was allowed to smoke around him during his duration in power, however in his death bunker, everyone lit up. I can see those who call themselves loyalist jumping ship in months, years to come.

    Now if only he'd fire Sessions, simply to force Graham's hand in his "all hell to pay" comment; perhaps impeachment. I can see McCain rising above his ailment to lead that charge with Graham. I'd love to see this showdown, and dump trump down the drain with it.

    ...^^^Trump's better hope that his new chief of staff can finally bring some order and discipline to the West Wing...and of course it also way past time for Trump keep his mouth stuff and put down his cell phone.
