Where is Mitch Mconnell ?

 

He holds and important seat that should perhaps be vacated and up for grabs because of his health.

 

I have seen nothing of him for over 2 months ?!? 
 

 

 

Mitch literally had at least two strokes on national tv.  I doubt he is around any longer...

He looked pretty terrible to me.  Not sure what was up with the teleprompter and him looking away from the camera though.

 

In any event, they tossed him out like a slab of meat, so he doesn't need to worry about being re-elected any longer.  Bye Joe...

 

He looked old, no question, but the speech was great

He's got a portrait of Dorian Gray in his attic.  He'll be around for a while.

-It is important that we do this-

-Actually it isn't that important-

-it is critically important that we do this now-

-nevermind, let's take a months holiday, as it isn't that important to do this.

Republicans' rush to impeach Vice President Kamala Harris hit a snag Wednesday as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced that Congress would take off the month of August.

With just days left in July, GOP leaders issued guidance for U.S. House of Representatives members.

"Members are advised that votes are no longer expected in the House during the week of July 29, 2024," GOP leadership said. "Last votes for the week and month are now expected to take place tomorrow, Thursday, July 25, 2024 at approximately 10:45 a.m."

Looks like unlike the rest of his party, Johnson at least have a brain cell or two.

that’s an over reaction EP ..

 

Joe realized he’s been battling with age and it’s natural limitations it brings .

For many of us it’s a personal battle that we wage with ourselves.

 

Joe has done well ,

 I’d say excellent, considering he’s at that 80’s number.

 

Its harder to accept others opinions,  when it’s really a personal matter.

 

Personally, at 62,  I’m realizing adjustments I need to make..   preparations,.    A smaller rancher , open concept style home ,  concrete, glass , steel roof .

Big bi-folding window/ doors as walls.

more outside space .

rooflines without eaves or gutters that cover bigger walking and patio areas so I don’t have to shovel snow   Or clean gutters .

 

im sick of ladders .    
Ive had more friends dads die from falling from them trying to keep up with maintainence.

 

Fucking  Christmas lights !?!? 

 

I don’t want to be “that guy” who knew better , but didn’t except the consequences of age . 
 

Im imagining of open all my walls in a future Spring Rain and pull in a power washer and spend 2 days power washing the inside and outside of my concrete home.. outdoor patios.. and fire pit.

WHY ?

..Because I’ll be able to still do that in my 80’s , and not have it kill me.

lol.

ps . 
Also , no lawn ..    throw wildflower seeds everywhere and raise bees,

for honey,

for my godamn coffee!

               And I might roast my own!!

 

Joe ,  

will not have any regret or remorse from this move..   

 

They say sometimes you buy,

or buy into things knowing better.

               “Buyers Remorse” .

 

But doing,

what you know you should be doing ..

               Well that’s “Ownership”.

 

Joe will be happy ,  

and I’m sure he’ll still be around.

 

         He hasn’t fallen off his ladder.

    He’s had his own realizations .

                He stepped down,   off of it..

     and on to his deck.

 

And what an amazing career in politics he has had!

        That’s a book I hope to READ over MY coffee with MY honey

Probably wants all the clowns spread out, so the media has to work harder to keep track of the stupid shit they do.

It was a good, speech, but I wouldn't say great.  He still sounded old and feeble........the content was good and he did a good job seizing the opportunity to lay out his record to the American public and giving Harris a solid push

I’d still give him an A, considering that he has dementia, or is even dead, according to some

Yeah no motorboats, electric batteries or sharks to spice things up. No lies.
 

Just an old guy, admitting that age is getting the better of him and doing the right thing by stepping aside for the good of his party and the country. Call me a sentimental fool, but I’ll take that every time.

That’s how you do it Sam. I’m 70 next month and going through the same thoughts as you.

I keep talking about swing states and the electoral college, but I just realized that I've never once given some of the "visual learners" here a tool to use to get the hang of everything.

 

This is a good start for those of you who prefer to learn that way.  The map keeps up with an averaging of all polls and is interactive the exact same way that you see news-people on television interact with their maps.

Yep. Smart to get them dispersed asap to stop them from their stupid shit like immediate impeachment for God knows what and the blatant racist and misogyny they are echoing each other with.

As bad as Joe has looked the majority of Dems were prepared to vote for him. National security be damned. Often incoherent Trump carries the GOP ticket with little to no opposition. Not good enough for the most powerful country in the world.

This propoganda that Trump spews ,

He’s flailing ,.    He’s going to jail if he dosent win the election.

 

if he wins ,  he will deconstruct, destroy , take away rights and liberties,  and start a civil war .

 

although it will only happen for a few hours before a real sniper shoots him.

                       Legally. 

 

That ,  and this, is why the 4th amendment stands.

It’s for Democratic freedoms.

                …NOT for Authoritarian Rules.
