Senate Russell basement tour finished, and some off-topic updates! - 12/19/24

Paraphrasing what I said in this vlog:

"Tour to be continued and finished. Tour ended prematurely on Tuesday, December 17 because Pete Hegseth "crossed" my path."

"Russell basement... showing you some old artifacts".

Note: Old subway as shown in the photo taken on Tuesday, Dec. 17.

Note: I realized I made one minor incorrect statement about Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno. I incorrectly stated Moreno replaced JD Vance. I correctly said Moreno beat Democrat Sherrod Brown. I also correctly stated JD Vance beat Democrat Tim Ryan in the November 2022 mid-term election

I did not mention the following in the vlog: Governor Mike DeWine will appoint someone to replace JD Vance to serve the remaining 4 years. Interestingly, Sherrod Brown beat DeWine to become a senator.

"Basement looks quiet... soon lunchtime..."

"Barber shop for Senators, showing you a price list. Ridiculous prices!

"Off topic... Heard DA Fani Willis and her assistant DAs disqualified by the GA Appeals Court this morning. The Appeals did not throw out the case. Will a new DA take the case or drop it outright?"

I came through this metal detector from outside... from the Union Station, 2 blocks away.

"Mini" cafeteria, not much to show there. Pretty standard... Note: one thing I did not mention in the vlog... I was eating my lunch next to Trent Lott on Tuesday. He looked good! A sharp dresser as ever, we all remember.

Off topic: "State electors have certified President-elect on Tuesday, Dec. 17. State elector certifying is a part of an election cycle. 2 more steps left in the cycle. Congress certifies on 1/6/25 and President sworn in on 1/20/25."

"Smooth so far"

Pointing to the wall... I said Drywall. I was jokingly lying. I mentioned marble walls were only for senate basements in the Dec 17 vlog. House basements do not have marble walls, not true?"

"Floor not even... designed that way because of proper drainage? DC is a swamp and near Atlantic Ocean. No idea why the floor is not even."

"Dirksen building... more "fancy" cafeteria"

Digital directory... sort by state, etc.

"Email xchanged between myself and Norman"

"One senator has scheduled a committee hearing for Pete. Jan 16 or 17, definitely before Jan 20".

"If I see something worthwhile, I will make another vlog today".

End of vlog...
