    But privately, some Republicans have complained about the venue choice. Sources said Speaker Mike Johnson selected the Greenbrier Resort because it was “family friendly,” in a break from past retreats which have taken place in sunny Florida – the preferred location of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

      How did I not catch that part of the article. That’s in my state.

      If they do all show up, our average IQ will drop at least 15 points for the duration of the retreat, and we don’t really have any to spare.

      Greenbrier is really nice too. But yea, no debauchery is gonna happen there considering there’s really nothing remotely nearby. But the tour of the military installation underneath is really fucking rad.
