Mitch McConnell is in a whole other world. Today during a presser he froze up again.

Most people have the sense to retire. You want to keep working past 65? Understandable. Go right ahead, you have my blessing. But by the time you reach your early 70's, it's time to wrap shit up, folks. Politicians are the only people on earth who are so corrupt they instead of letting go of power, they will let thousands of people be forced to be represented by senility. The Babylon Bee really nailed it with this one.

Cuz I agree with you. Someone on CNN just said, "We are living in a gerontocracy." But in fairness, McConnell had a bad fall in March and his mental issues may have as much to do with the concussion he suffered as his age (though it didn't help). But while we're at it, Sen. Feinstein should definitely retire. And I'm STILL mad at dead SCOTUS Justice Ginsberg for not retiring and thus handing McConnell the chance to replace her with Stepford Wife Barrett. I would like to shit on RBG's grave.

Dem governor, Newsom,  will be able to appoint someone to fill the unexpired term.  Even though it will be a party-line Democrat, at least they will understand what they are voting on.  Our last Lib Senator, Boxer, had the good sense to get out while she was on top and had some seniority. Feinstein has the seniority, but not the mental acuity required to head a committee.  

I have previously posted that Newsom could appoint Oprah Winfrey as a temporary place holder to avoid showing favoritism among the Lee - Porter - Schiff aspirants. (Does Oprah have CA residency? Some other eligible "name" or qualified popular Oprah-like celebrity who will not run in the next election.)  
.
I also proposed (and rejected) that Newsom could appoint Kamala back to the Senate. (Others pointed out that Kamala would reject the offer as a demotion.) That would let Biden pick a new VP that would be better for the ticket ... except that a new VP requires approval of the House and McCarthy would block every selection keeping himself in the #2 position of succession.

Blacks and women would hate it and might stay home on Election Day. The only ones who'd like it are people who won't vote for Biden anyway.

C’mon man biden is constantly stammering, stumbling, mumbling and bungling.

 
He shakes hands with ghosts/people who are not there, he falls upstairs, he tells people (gold star families) his son came home in a flag draped coffin, checks his watch during a Dignified Transfer, he said his house burned when it was a small kitchen fire, he forgets where he is etc. etc.etc.

 
Now let’s cry Trump, Trump, Trump…..Trump did this Trump did that.
Whaaaa, whaaaa, whaaa Trump Trump Trump …Trump Said this or that  
Whaaaaaaaaaa

 

BTW yeah McConnell is old (81) has health issues and should step down.

 
Let’s Go Brandon

Please seek medication for your TDS. But thanks for FINALLY actually answering my post in the last sentence.

in the Montecito area near Santa Barbara.  Oprah would be an excellent choice, since it would have to be a Dem.  

then how about Megan Markle? LOL

Do you really think she is Liberal enough or smart enough to serve Californians' interests in the Senate?  Since she was an actress, they will probably have to write out her lines for her the way they do for vapid Joe.  

I thought the "LOL" would give that away even to someone as slow on the uptake as you.
Even so, the answer to your question is obvious. All she'd have to do is vote as she was told by Schumer. That's not so hard. Also, Feinstein's term only lasts until next year.

END OF MESSAGE

I haven’t read this section of the Constitution recently, but I’m surprised that it would be the House that would pick a new VP if there’s a vacancy. I would have thought that the Senate would vote on that. I’m guessing this would be outlined in one of the latter Amendments.

I think that generally, it’s a good thing for older people to run the government. Say 50 and older give or take. You want someone in government to have a decent amount of life experience. But if people think your funeral will come before the next election, then you’ve been in office probably 15 years too long.

Motherfucker please you are the party of actual infirm persons holding office who should NOT Because they are suffering from an actual mental deficiency!

Partisan hackery at its best! Good job icky! 🫡

There ya go! Now yer really on a roll! Pick another entitled complete narcissist who’s is milking a victim complex for everything possible. Hell she and AOC could braid each others hair at night. LOL 😂 that would be par for the course for you Dems.

I'm not surprised that you wouldn't do your own homework.

Were you asleep when Spiro Agnew had to resign due to being charged with political corruption in Maryland? He pleaded no contest. Agnew was fined $10,000 and placed on three years' unsupervised probation. Only THEN did he resign. Nixon picked Ford as a replacement and Ford was approved by Congress. (It was a Maryland STATE prosecution so Nixon couldn't pardon Agnew.)  
.
Were you asleep when Nixon resigned (remember Watergate?) and Ford became POTUS? Ford picked and Congress approved Rockefeller as VP.
.
In 2023, the Dem majority in the Senate would likely approve any reasonable VP pick. The "MAGA Squad" within the Freedom Caucus controls McCarthy who would surely block ANY VP nominee thus keeping McCarthy directly in line to become POTUS if Kamala vacates the VP position.

25th Amendment:
Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of ***both*** Houses of Congress.

It hypocritically did not! If your going to point out one old geezers (you know those guys cause ya are one) mental capacity failures start with all of the ones on your side of the isle!

LS1

Now go wipe his jizz off your chin.

Or are you just ignoring it so you can lie about Democrats.
PS: YOU are the partisan hack, since you ignore the fact that I think Feinstein should resign and I was in favor of Ginsberg doing it, too. Hack, hack, hackety-hack.

He should retire but you attempting to say you would stipulate joes just a little slow but McConnell has to go is 5000% bullshit! If your going to call for one mentally unqualified member of government to step down you need to call for all of them and there are way more Dems needing to go. Chief among them the guy with the nuclear codes!  

LS1

Well, actually you have several but out of compassion I'll limit myself to just ONE of your problems.
The likely nominee of the Re-pube-lick-cunts is not much younger than Biden. He's also morbidly obese. He also has LOTS of problems speaking coherently.  Remember this one? Talking about the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War he said: "They rammed the ramparts. They took over the airports" LMAO.
Next he referred to Fort McHenry. But that was during the War of 1812.
So, yeah, Loooooser, now let's see you agree Trump should retire. Assuming he's not in jail.
If Trump wasn't the alternative I'd agree that Biden should retire. But if Trump's the nominee, forget it.

Your manufactured hate. What’s amusing is when TDS affected Dems also try and gaslight the fuck out of those who disagree with them that Biden is doing a gooood job 🥴

I will take your words as written (even though you'll try to clarify later what you actually meant by "mental deficiency."

It's a long list, but I'll begin.
1. Lauren Boebert - Where to begin?  
“Did you or did you not decriminalise public urination in Washington DC? Did you lead the charge to do so?”
Allen said: “No. The revised criminal code left that as a criminal.”
Boebert repeated: “Did you lead the charge to decriminalise public urination in Washington DC?
Allen said: “No, ma’am.”
Boebert said: “Did you ever vote in favor of decriminalising public urination in Washington DC?”
Allen said: “The revised criminal code that was passed by the council kept it as a criminal offense.”
Boebert said: “Did you ever support this criminal” offense status?
Allen said: “I voted for it, yes.”
Boebert said: “You voted to keep it as a criminal offense?”
Allen said: “That’s correct. The full council did.”
Boebert claimed to “have records” showing Allen favored “allowing public urination”.
Allen said: “No. The –”
Boebert asked: “Is that something you intend to pursue in the future?”
Allen said: “No. The legislation you’re referring to came from the criminal code reform commission that changed public urination from a criminal to a civil offense. The council then changed that, to maintain it as a criminal offense at the request of the mayor.”
.
“You cannot demand more responsibility and less accountability,” Boebert, whose Colorado restaurant gave 80 people food poisoning in 2017, insisted during a press conference.
.
"Gun free zones are the most dangerous places in our country."
.
And on and on.
.
2. Marjorie Taylor Greene - Where to begin?
"Peach tree dish!"
"Islamic nations under Sharia law are places where men have sex with little boys, little girls, multiple women and marry their sisters and their cousins."
Nancy Pelosi leading the "Gazpacho police."
.
After learning that Air Canada recently placed an order for 30 electric airplanes, "... “We’re saying, how are they gonna keep powering these electric airplanes, what are they gonna have, it’s like a spin class in a tube? Where they’ve got everybody riding spin cycles, and those mean nasty airline stewardesses that forced you to wear masks all the time on the plane…are they gonna be forcing you to like keep spinning to keep the airplane in the air? It’s absurd!” [spoken seriously at a speech event]
.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., stood by her remarks calling Democrats “pedophiles” in an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday night. Greene doubled down when pressed on her “over the top” remarks in the past, including calling Democrats a “party of pedophiles.” “I would definitely say so,” she replied. “They support grooming children.”
.
Gosar - most of his immediate think he's nuts
.
Gohmert -  
- Gohmert accused President Obama of trying to start up a new Ottoman Empire, or the many times he’s claimed President Obama is in league with the Muslim Brotherhood.
- he compared homosexuality to beastiality and Hitler on the floor of the House.
- he screamed at Attorney General Eric Holder to “not cast aspersions on his asparagus” [Covfefe!]
.
Andy Ogles - R-Tennessee
- U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles admits he was 'mistaken' on the college degree he received [less than 10 years before he ran for office on exaggerated claims about that degree]
.
And What's His Name, the guy who said:
. Covfefe!
.""And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that,  
. During one hurricane briefing at the White House, Trump said, "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?
. "If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer, you tell me that one, okay? RRRrrrrr! RRRrrrr!"
.
MENTAL DEFICIENCY? "Republican Affiliation" correlates better with MENTAL DEFICIENCY than chronological age.

And you only scratched the surface. Also, we're not even talking about the massive criminality. But toxic fools like Looooser are locked into their own warped world view including their fake "facts."
And this is why they are, as GaG used to say, TSTTT -- Too Stupid To Talk To.

No, imp. Definitely not asleep. lololol. I was born during the Carter administration.

Because it turns out you're stupid and ill-informed. A true Deplorable.
Look at Willy wallow...

I know who FDR is.  It's called "history" willy.  That has to be your dumbest answer ever.  And if you're gonna try to pretend you were joking - don't.  It was a feeble attempt at humor.

to get both McConnell and Feinstein out of the Senate and let the respective governors appoint a successor from the same party.  Since Newsom is a Dem and Lee is a Republican, it should all work out.  What they don't want is a special election because then both seats might end up with the same party and that would change the balance in the Senate.

He's a lying dirtbag who held up Obama's nominee nearly 8 months before the 2016 election, saying it  was too close to the election. Then he totally went back on that when RBG died less than TWO months before the 2020 election. I hate that lying fucker.
PS: I also hate Ginsberg for ruining her legacy by giving us Stepford Justice Barrett.
As for Feinstein, she should step down NOW and let Newsome appoint someone. She's even worse off than McConnell and looks more dead than alive. No deal is needed.
We need term limits in Congress.

…there should be an age maximum. 75 and you’re gone.  

But calling Justice Barrett “Stepford” is sexist and derogatory. It no different than a religious or racial slur.

Was he giggling when he wrote that?
Anyway, it's derogatory for sure but not sexist. She's nothing more than a righty bot. Nothing like a racial slur.
Bug off, Willy.
When Willy stops lying I'll stop calling her a "Stepford."

OK, Newsom is the governor of California WHO THE FUCK IS "LEE?"  McConnell has been a senator from Kentucky for almost 40 years but the governor of Kentucky is NOT named LEE.  Also, the governor of Kentucky is NOT a Republican; he's a Democrat!

 
Go ahead CDL, say it: "I stand corrected."  Don't say "I made a mistake."  Don't say "I was wrong."  Don't say "I really fucked up that post."

so he should be the one to pick McConnell's replacement.  Obviously, it has to be a Republican picking and Tennessee is within walking distance of Kentucky.  

it was your intention all along to propose that the governor of Tennessee should select the senator from Kentucky?
Are you really so desperate that you're willing to make yourself look stupid with that ridiculous proposal rather than admit making a mistake?

You inability to own this mistake is really pathological.

…but it’s also attacking her for her religious values. It’s no different than using a slur against a Muslim, Hindu or a Jew. Furthermore, it’s attacking her for being a woman and holding views that make women lead happy and fulfilling lives instead of the cult of misery that left wing feminism has to offer women. A cult that leads them alone and childless with no one to keep them company in their golden years but their cats. This is particularly insidious given that the number of women reporting being unhappy is at an all time high, along with a record number of prescriptions to psychiatric drugs. This same left wing indoctrination has laid waste to the black community leading to skyrocketing crime, gang warfare, and a homicide epidemic. None of these things would have happened if the vast majority of women in this country embraced these “stepford” values. Values that not only kept families and society in tact, but resulted in women and men both leading happier and more fulfilling lives.

Kentucky is NOT within walking distance from Tennessee?  I've been there.  It's only one step away.  

...the governor of Tennessee CAN appoint the senator of Kentucky?  You're not only doubling and tripling down on stupid, you're quadrupling down on stupid.

You could have avoided looking so stupid by simply telling the TRUTH.  You could have found out the TRUTH by simply watching or reading main stream media.  Instead, you watch right wing media and believe their lies.  And you're so lazy that you prefer to post shit you pull out of your ass rather than find the TRUTH on your own.

 
Let me show you exactly how STUPID and LAZY you are - instead of that Tennessee governor bullshit, you could have simply posted this TRUTH:
The governor of Kentucky is a Democrat.  The state legislature of Kentucky is so overwhelmingly Republican that it is veto-proof.  TWO YEARS AGO, the Kentucky legislature had the foresight to worry about Mitch's health.  They didn't want the Dem governor to appoint a Dem to replace Mitch so they passed a law requiring that a retiring senator be replaced by someone from the same party.

 
The KY governor vetoed he bill but his veto was overridden by the Kentucky legislature.  As it stands now, the Dem KY governor would have to appoint a Republican to replace Mitch.

 

 

Now do you see how STUPID you are?  Had you simply posted the TRUTH you could have avoided showing everyone what an idiot you are.  You claim you post on P&R for "shits and giggles" and you don't take politics seriously.  After your fiasco in this thread, everyone will be giggling at the shit you post.  All you've succeeded in doing is proving how stupid and lazy you are  Now go wipe that egg off your face..

If it's not on a teleprompter where he can just read it out load, he can't put two sentences together.  Saying he "sometimes stammers" is the understatement of the year.  Lol

This thread is nearly a week old. Did it really take you that long to come up with your witty riposte?
PS: Are you even dimly aware Biden is a life-long stutterer? He even did this when he was young.

many life-long liars stutter.  He won't be the first, nor the last.

So now that you've lost the argument you change the subject from Biden's age to an allegation that he's lying. I'd say nice dodge  but....it wasn't.

I'm not a movie afficianado, but I thought this one was very good:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King%27s_Speech
The King's Speech
"The King's Speech is a 2010 historical drama film directed by Tom Hooper and written by David Seidler. Colin Firth plays the future King George VI who, to cope with a stammer, sees Lionel Logue, an Australian speech and language therapist played by Geoffrey Rush. The men become friends as they work together, and after his brother abdicates the throne, the new king relies on Logue to help him make his first wartime radio broadcast upon Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1939. ..."
.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcxBrTvLbBM
It is a great reminder that a speaker who does not stammer but spurs the populace towards fascism is not a GREAT LEADER but an egomaniacal DICTATOR. A stutterer can encourage the people to stand up to a fascist dictator and preserve their democracy and humanity.
.
CDL has made clear by his posts  what he finds to be the more influential speech ... and probably which path he would have chosen in 1939. "What a great speech! Not a single stutter! Heil! Heil!"

that type of stuttering was brought on by his father  (who was King before him) mercilessly belittling him to the point that he lacked the confidence to speak publicly.  Are you saying Biden had the same background resulting in his stammering?  I've never heard him claim anything like that.  If you eliminate parental psychological abuse, then you are left with the chronic liars who stutter.  It's too different causes.  The first is a mental illness, and the second one is just your ordinary everyday liar who thinks he can make everyone believe anything he says, but then has moments where is not so confident they will buy his lies.  That's when the stammering kicks in.  This is a guy who will stand up in front of an audience of truckers and say he remembers the days when HE was a long-haul trucker.  A complete lie, but he says it with a straight face.  

Oh, well. It's not the first time he's claimed to be something he's not.
Here's what the experts at The National Stuttering Association say:
"Researchers currently believe that stuttering is caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, language development, environment, as well as brain structure and function."
Not a word about "chronic liars who stutter." If that were true, you'd have the world's worst stutter.

Mayo Clinic when you found one written by an expert in Latin American studies with all of the touchy-feeling drivel?  Here's one of the points the Mayo Clinic makes . . . . .

 
"Stress. Stress in the family, high parental expectations or other types of pressure can worsen existing stuttering."

 
I guess this DOES make me an expert . . . . compared to you.  Lol

First of all, it says stress "can worsen EXISTING (my emphasis) stuttering." You didn't put any such qualifier in anything you wrote
Second, nothing in what you wrote suggests lying as a cause. But now I suppose you'll say lying causes stress, so....
give yourself a pass.

Your links are bullshit just like your posts.  You cited the Mayo Clinic to "prove" your previous post that can be brought on by a father mercilessly belittling a son.  But your link proved nothing of the kind.  Your quote from your link:
"Stress. Stress in the family, high parental expectations or other types of pressure can worsen existing stuttering."
Do you know what "existing" means?

 
From now on, let your "tech guys" find links for you.  LOL!

if he sought advice from his Mexican maids.

to realize that the rules you make for yourself apply to everyone else, too.  

It must be humiliating.
