Guess the word "peaceful protests" won't be much used anymore. Unless of course BLM lobbyists support shooting police officers out of pure anger and call that peaceful? :lol:

In 200+ years of the Union, I don’t think a president has ever threatened to hold onto to power no matter the result of an election.

Yet another Democratic Party hero revealed to be a doddering, senile old fool.  (And also hugely corrupt - has made a fortune passing insider trading tips to her husband. Highly illegal for you & me, but not for Senate Democrats)

 

 

Feinstein relies heavily on her ever-present staff to deal with any issues, frequently turning to them for help in responding to inquiries. Feinstein had to be coaxed into wearing a mask around the Senate during the early days of the pandemic, despite being part of the most vulnerable age groups for the disease. She’s only made two floor speeches in the last nine months, her last being in early July, although she remains active in committee hearings.

After his strenuous one event a day schedule over the last couple of days, Joe Biden takes today off.  It’s not like there’s much happening out there.  (“Call a lid” = no more events today)

 


In fact, this is the eighth day this month he has done nothing in the afternoon or evening.

 

 

Another sleepytime day in the US of A, the country where not much ever happens, so naturally Joe the Human Dynamo takes a well-deserved slippers and nap day.

On what planet is Feinstein a "Democratic Party hero"? It has long been a source of frustration among the base that the senior senator from California (of all states) is a centrist.

And what does it tell you about the nature of the modern Democratic Party that the corruptocrats like the Feinsteins, Bidens, Obamas & Clintons hold all the important, powerful posts & you “progressives” make up the cannon fodder?  Look how easily Bernie Sanders was cheated out of his rightful victory when COVID came along.

    • 4th bronze for Italy in juniors men`s foil, but women`s foil it`s a disastrous in this age category: today only 13th places
    • It appears tickets are starting at $28 for the preliminary round events as when I went to verify my account you could see some of the prices under the exit banner, I believe this is already more expensive than the Paris tickets.
