Forced to evacuate
More on the Gaetz Gohmert Greene rebellion:
QAnon apostle Marjorie Taylor Greene, unsanctioned high school chaperone Matt Gaetz and the self-proclaimed “dumbest man in Congress” were forced to evacuate a press conference when their regularly scheduled bullshit parade turned into an all-out shitshow.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) scheduled a Tuesday press conference outside the Department of Justice in support of the detained Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Contrary to their usual stance on law and order, the elected officials wanted the world to know how unfair it was to punish violent thugs who did absolutely nothing wrong except attempt a violent overthrow of the government at Greene and Gaetz’s behest.
Injuring a lot of cops in the process, as we were reminded at the January 6 hearing.
Greene fled the site of the “intolerant left’s” refusal to allow government officials carry out their official duties at a press conference in support of people who wouldn’t let government officials carry out their official duties. It was totally unfair how the media harassed her in the manner that she harassed David Hogg, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush and Holocaust victims.
…
The white nationalist saviors were there to support men like Proud Boy leader Joe Biggs, who has spent three months in jail for nothing more than leading a white supremacist gang on a cop-beating spree at the nation’s capital. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Biggs moaned and groaned about how the people at the jail are treating him like he’s in jail.
And like he’s…not white.
If he wasn’t white, he might not have lived long enough to make it to jail, so he should consider himself lucky.
As Robert Burns once said to a mouse: “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft a-gley.” (“Gang aft a-gley” is Scots Gaelic for ”turns into a shitshow.”)
But then again, the shitshow in question was not all that well planned.
Not Scots-Gaelic, I’m afraid, Omar, but simple Scots, a language that derives principally from Anglian Old English. Scots-Gaeilc is and entirely different, and Celtic (not Germanic), language.

The opening of ‘Hallaig’, by Sorley MacLean, one of the greatest poems to have been written in the British Isles in the last century. (There should be some accents on some vowels, but unless one has a special thing on one’s computer, Gaelic accents are difficult to get.)

I’ll take your word for it. ;-)
They are both beautiful languages.
