JD suffers from the delusion that if he just comes up with the right name, eyeliner, persona, and davenport, the people will suddenly realize that they like him.

Also, I'm making a demand of a senator who's smart enough to know we need a new direction, not handing out opinions to collect other opinions, but I'm sure someone else will be up for conversation.

That's why there was court. Did you not see them put enormous payments to Jan 6-connected politicians in their bill? New abortion restrictions? Did they get anything besides a "promise" to vote on ACA later? I'm starting to see why you're defending Schumer here, but I'd rather starve.

You do realize that there was money for food stamps that was being held up by Trump, yes? You do realize that this is just going to go on and on while they strip rights and things like health care, holding you up for your lunch money until you capitulate and then they'll cut that too?

Call for Chuck to step aside and let someone else lead. No point in fighting if he's going to lead by rolling over every time.

...this is how I get both news items at once. Half of it is good, though!

I've sent my thoughts to each of the traitors and turncoats. I hope you also have contacted them all individually.

They fought for this. The least we can do is hang on. There can be a parade later.

He loves to think about shitting, though. Seems to be a lifelong hobby of his.

I don't think that's related to age, though, just to them sucking individually. I hate that people (others, not you) use that alone to deny seniors care and civic participation, and an excuse for them slacking on scrutinizing their incumbents, which should happen to the youngsters, too.

Definitely too much of this. It's not about holding to a dear value so much as a fear others can get something (because that's not fair, somehow).

But that would mean upending everything and why would we ever do that when we can cling to our beloved, flawed, exceptionalist systems.

I'm ready for what was supposed to be -- for chances to examine and better our rights, ideals, laws.

Of course, I'd personally love to see a 15-20 group get voting rights and responsibilities, and have that paired with some kind of senior citizens caucus-- think about what you want to grow for the future, think about how to care for a lifetime.

I'm really finding that going hard on stuff like age limits is like the people who double down on both parties equally bad. It's trolling to justify a lack of participation and organization.

They are people taking medication to suppress testosterone, though. Recent studies suggest this puts them at a disadvantage athletically. Here's an interesting article about this: www.forbes.com/sites/lindse...
