Not possible. The French quarter is very small with narrow streets which are used daily when there are no events

There are bollards around the quarter during events. Reports are that the truck. Intensionally avoided and drove through barriers

Last thing I'd want to do is anger a NOLA cop.

Holy ctap. Two cops shot, bomb found in the quarter. Hell of a deal.

The Hotels around Bourbon street have locked their doors, allowing no one in or out.

According to an unconfirmed report by the New York Times, Mr Yazidi was never charged and was approved for transfer more than a decade ago.

The newspaper also said he had been at Guantanamo Bay since the facility was first set up in 2002.

If Gaetz isn’t sworn in

The GOP has a 219-215 majority in the House

And Mike Johnson can’t become Speaker without a majority

GOP Rep Massie said he’s a NO

If he holds, Johnson can’t lose even one more vote

Now other Republicans want to extort him

So-will he ask Gaetz to show up, just for a day

Trump doesn't care, all he wants is the election confirmed.

Get your popcorn ready

From the report: “The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress.”

More: “The record overwhelmingly suggests that Representative Gaetz had sex with multiple women at a 2017 Florida party, including the then-17-year-old, for which they were paid… Victim A recalled receiving $400 in cash from Representative Gaetz that evening, which she understood to be payment for sex. At the time, she had just completed her junior year of high school. Victim A said that she did not inform Representative Gaetz that she was under 18 at the time, nor did he ask her age.”
