Lyndon Johnson had the temperature of the White House water heater cranked up to dangerous levels and then had them turn the water pressure in the showers as high as it could possibly go

he apparently once demonstrated said firehose-shower to guests by climbing into it fully-clothed and turning it on and getting full-on blasted by it

The boiling firehose shower also had like 6 nozzles at different angles/elevations, including two at waist level aimed directly at each other.

iirc the warren campaign knew that everyone thinks liz warren is a gormless liberal nerd robot, so their strategy to humanize her was to say "she has a dog! she definitely doesn't have sex with it!"

The coolest thing associated with her was when Jacob Wohl (I think?) made up some poo poo about how she secretly dommed a bunch of marines

honestly the hanging dvd covers on the wall thing is so loving weird that it has to be real. no one would do that to like "fake" having a business because no one has ever EVER gone in a business and seen that before. you wouldn't recall that and be like "oh here's something that will make it look more like a real business, let's thumbtack the SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME dvd slip cover to the wall"

yeah agreed, its too bizarre a detail for it to be fake imo

i don't think it was gentrified, it was in the same strip mall as a thrift shop and on the same block as another thrift shop, but the sign for it did not actually say the business's name, it just said BARBER SHOP


the guy from the warren campaign did give vice the name of the barber shop though and a elizabeth warren campaign office was next door to it



here's the video clips the guy sent to vice that he took that day. 2 of the 3 clips are from the barbershop and it's weirder. there's definitely no mirror, a giant rear end tv playing cspan in the back and a movie playing as well and a pool table

this may be frightening to hear, but the truth is that many small business owners have no loving idea what they are doing. the barbershop is strange, confusing, and non-functional because that's exactly how the owner likes it.

Also what barber is gonna have that much space and not try to fill it with more barber's chairs? The owner's an idiot is he thinks people are gonna wait for only two barbers, one of which is wearing a button up shirt with a tie, in a space that can probably fit 5-6 more barbers that could be paying rent on those chairs.

Also that video is hilarious, like everybody in that place is hard ignoring this dude like he's a lunatic that walked in taking crazy poo poo

I circle around different ideas for the barbershop, but this pretty much has to be the explanation. Owner either relies on the wifes money or family money or some other residual income, this is a low overhead "business" (pretty much just rent/utilities) that gets him out of the house and lets him hang out with his buddies.

Its not set up to make money because it doesnt exist to make money.

Also, if he is married to a sugar momma, this lets them save face, he's not a bum, he's an "entrepreneur"
