I was thinking more of the American ninja warrior type of setup based on that premise but I guess we'll see what happens.
being that I haven't seen it and it probably from the bowels of the internet, I'd say this is a non-story
It’s plastered on my Facebook by all of the troglodytes. It’s a non story just like birther shit, but it’s gaining traction.
but didn't they just schedule a hearing or hold a hearing on starting the process for requesting his tax returns?

Joe Rogan’s character on NewsRadio was not a charachter. That was him playing himself and being paid for it.
on the funding tor the Wall stuff. It has been my belief that the Orange idiot would be blocked from another shut-down. Therefore, I have assumed he was going to go the "emergency" route. This DK story says the GOP doesn't want that, not because it is stupid, but because Dems could then do the same (they won't). I have no idea what is going to happen. Just raid unspent money for other budgets? Republicans really, really do not want Trump to declare a national emergency Spoiler The conference committee negotiation government funding has emerged with its results, and, as expected, what Donald Trump is being offered in February is actually less than what he would have gotten had he signed the Senate bill that emerged with unanimous consent back in December. That’s because Mr. Master Dealmaker decided to set a big match to every bit of leverage he had, and in the process burned his Republican allies so badly that they want nothing to do with a second round of shutdowns. As lawmakers scribble down the final version of a bill that has less money and more constraints, Republicans are pressing hard for Trump to sign the results, no matter how little it includes for his wall barrier fence. That’s because the one option still open to Trump is one that GOP legislators are terrified he might take. Because there are still unallocated 2018 funds lingering out there in some military programs, including in disaster-relief funds managed by the Department of Defense, Trump could still choose to declare a national emergency to appropriate funds for his wall. He could have a shutdown and declare an emergency. He could even sign the bill coming through Congress and then still wander into the Rose Garden to declare an emergency. Any way, it would be a disaster. In the past, national emergency declarations have been used in situations such as the hours immediately following 9/11, when the White House has felt the need to move without waiting to see what Congress decides. What Trump would be doing in this case would be very, very different. Trump would be declaring that even if the legislature debates and rejects an idea, an executive can still force it through anyway. That’s not just a huge and dangerous expansion of executive authority; it’s one that Republicans can all too easily see being used to gore all their sacred oxen. In particular, Democrats might choose to declare national emergencies over things that are much easier to justify than Scare Caravans! and Fake Prayer Rugs! on the border. Like gun violence. Like climate change. That fear leads to another one. Should Trump declare an emergency, Nancy Pelosi can instantly bring a motion in the House to end that declaration. Then Democrats can send that motion to the Senate … where Republicans would have to vote on it. And as CNN reports, that’s a terrifying prospect for Republicans. For all the times that Republicans complained that President Obama “overreached” or “sidestepped Congress,” Trump laying down an emergency because he doesn’t like the outcome in the legislative branch would be an open declaration of executive rule. A declaration that even some of Trump’s most ardent supporters in the House and Senate see as an inexcusable breach in the separation of powers. Some Republicans, including right-right-wing Senator John Cornyn, are already going public with their opposition to an emergency declaration in the hope that they can ward off having to deal with a motion to override—a motion that some regard as a “political hand grenade.” With the conference committee bill being drafted for a vote before Friday, it’s a prospect that they could face at any time. Of course, if Trump does declare an emergency over something that’s demonstrably not an emergency, and a topic that’s been debated in the Congress for months, it definitely does open the door to doing it again. And again. There are limits: Trump’s funding sources are restricted to select categories of military funds. Unless, of course, he decides to challenge Congress on that as well. But Republicans can take heart over one thing: If Trump does declare an emergency, they can always pretend it never happened and any Democrat who tries to use the National Emergencies Act is the real threat to the Constitution. They've had lots of practice with that tactic.
Kentucky Senate panel approves NRA gun bill on anniversary of Parkland school shooting Spoiler By Jack Brammer Spoiler February 14, 2019 11:59 AM, Connie Coartney, state leader for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, urges state lawmakers to approve legislation she says will curb gun violence. By Jack Brammer FRANKFORT A Kentucky Senate committee approved a bill Thursday that would allow people to carry a concealed handgun without a permit or training on the first anniversary of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting that killed 17 students and staff members. “This is how our state decided to mark that anniversary of the deadliest high school shooting in our nation’s history — pass more gun legislation, making it easier for people to carry weapons in our state,” said Connie Coartney, volunteer leader with the Kentucky chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. Coartney was in the crowded Capitol Annex room Thursday morning when the Senate Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection approved Senate Bill 150 on a 11-1 vote. The bill now goes to the full Senate, which may vote on it Thursday afternoon. Kentucky could become the 15th state in the nation to adopt a permitless carry law. The bill, pushed by the National Rifle Association, would allow people age 21 or older who are able to lawfully possess a firearm to carry concealed firearms or other concealed deadly weapons without a license in the same locations as people with valid state-issued licenses. The sponsor of the bill, Sen. Brandon Smith, R-Hazard, and National Rifle Association state director Art Thomm said Kentuckians already can carry weapons openly without any training. Smith noted that if someone has a gun under a coat, a permit now is needed. He said that does not seem fair. “This bill decriminalizes wearing a coat in the state of Kentucky,” said Thomm. Thomm said crime has not increased in states that have permitless carry laws, but the group Everytown for Gun Safety says on its website that aggravated assaults with firearms have increased substantially in states with the laws. Smith and Thomm also said people could still get a gun-carrying permit if needed when they travel out of state. Smith said the bill especially would be helpful to single working mothers who don’t have the time or money to get permits. A permit typically costs about $75 with an eight-hour training course by a certified instructor. Coartney said everyone who carries a gun, including single working mothers, should have the training and background checks that come with obtaining a permit. Some gun instructors have criticized the bill for doing away with training requirements. During the Senate committee hearing, no one testified in opposition to the bill. Coartney said her group wanted to hear “what they had to say. We will be speaking out when the bill gets to the House.” Read more here: https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article226259470.html#storylink=cpy State Sen.

To be fair - most of that thread is people mocking how dumb he is. I listen to a lot of Rogan because i find it interesting to hear these guys talk about their dumb shit.
