--- a person who, among other faults, is a 48-year-old man who goes by "Chip." As a Wonker points out down thread, this is a Southern nickname: Chip for Junior, Trey for III, and Skip for IV. My husband is a "Chip" and I find this making fun of a name to be schoolyard bully behavior, more worthy of infantile Republicans than the usual intelligent snark found here.

You're right; we should give him a much more grown-up nickname, in keeping with his status as an Honorable Gentleman from.

Crap Roy.

At least that answers the question, "Will you still feed me?"

And he was chained to it

So that's two women Republicans are demanding apologies from. And all in vain.

Hi, Chip. Hey, I'm having a hard time understanding why you think it's completely acceptable behavior for a Member of the Senate to make a scurrilous charge against voters and then attack another member in the House or Senate for simply engaging in speech and debate regarding how that Member of the Senate almost got the speaking House member killed. Why aren't you defending AOC's First Amendment right to speak her mind and voice her opinion about a Member of the Senate who helped incite an insurrection against the laws and procedures of our nation's governing body and put his colleagues' lives in jeopardy? Aren't you going to defend AOC's rights to life and liberty and her pursuit of happiness and her right to speak her mind? If not, what Constitution is it that you swore to uphold and defend? It's definitely not America's Constitution. Maybe it is the constitution of the republican party of Texas -- you know, the secret one they approved in an illegal meeting in the basement of the president of the party's mother.

She is a native New Yorker which means she grew up on cuts and digs. Then she worked as a bartender, which means every Friday and Saturday she handled every Butt headed frat bro and their wingman with ease. A texass cow chjp? No problem.

This is a Southern thing at least in some families. If you're a junior (as in Bubba Jr) then your nickname is Chip. If you're a third, it's Trey and if you're a fourth, it's Skip.

Why would anyone care about a few individual stocks going up/down whatever, unless, oh, are all your eggs in one basket? How again did you become a billionaire????
