Title: Ok this is the thread where we get to laugh at these dinosaur politicians blue screen in real time

Credit to avatar_Bonesaw for the blue screen comment. I almost fell off my chair laughing when he said Mitch McConnell blue screened in public  :crampe:  :crampe:

Now we're going to have a thread where we compile all the blue screens

Biden alone could make this a 1,000,000 post thread.

Nikki Haley called Senate 'the most privileged nursing home,' and says it's time for McConnell, Feinstein to leave. She is right.

Dear god, that MSNBC twatwaffle is what passes for "context"? "Shut your hole you befuddled biatch and vote the way we tell you to" is all the context needed, ffs...

I might be being unfair to Democrats and TDS sufferers alike here, but I distinctly recall throwing out the cautionaries during the primaries for 2020. Basically saying "you don't like Trump, fine, I get it... but at least watch what you're replacing him with and choose wisely". Because the democrats were not stuck for candidates as I recall - they literally could have had any of them, they did not need to push a person that even then was showing clear signs of encroaching dementia.

You might have sympathy for the people in that video Garraty, I do not. This is the consequence of the "win at any and all costs" attitude they've adopted and yes, I am aware there are elements of that on the Right too. The only policy I saw getting pushed on the left was "Trump is an evil dumb baby and we're not Trump". Election promises get broken all the time and If that was theirs, well...

So no, their discomfiture at events such as these doesn't invoke any sympathy from me. I don't even have the regard for an "I told you so" to the people I warned in the 2020 election cycle. This egregious state of affairs is something they might have fought to circumvent, their willingness to involve themselves in attack politics instead is the reason they are looking unmoored and despairing now.

I cannot and will not feel sorry for those who behave like idiots when their chooks finally come home to roost.

Days after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) froze for 30 seconds while speaking to reporters after a speech in Covington, Kentucky, voters and political insiders are debating whether there should be age limits in place for anyone seeking political office.

The episode is similar to one Mr. McConnell experienced in the U.S. Capitol last month where he froze while speaking to reporters and has raised questions about the fitness of the 81-year-old to lead the Senate Republican caucus or finish his term in office.

How can he, Feinstein and Fetterman continue collecting a paycheque they cannot perform.

oe Biden Friday delivered a speech on the latest jobs numbers. He celebrated how unemployment had been below 14 percent for 19 month. In fact, the national employment rate was less than four percent in that period.

It's not the age that's the problem. A gerontocracy can work if they are cognitively competent.




That's 71. Mentally active and spritely... and dead three months later, sure, but here is an example of someone that can process information and string a sentence together.

Finestein cannot. Fetterman cannot. Pelosi cannot. Biden... cannot. Not reliably at any rate, and this has been the case since before the age that Carlin died in Biden's case. Fetterman is even more striking an example, he's younger than I am and comes out with gems like "Hello....goodnight". I could easily take him in a war of wits.

Age shouldn't be your metric. Ability should.

Even before he started having mini strokes, I hated that prick McConnell. He respresents the GOP of Romney, the Bush clan, McCain and Paul Ryan.

How many times will this need to happen before his wife or SOME fucking body does the right thing and publicly calls for Joe to retire immediately?

I'm not saying it isn't funny.
It's hilarious, in a sad and disheartening way.
What pisses me off is all the people around him ...family, friends, staff, interns, secret service, and on and on... who know exactly how fucked up Joe is and keep pretending that he isn't.

Some of those fuckers need to go to jail for elder abuse and then maybe this won't happen again.

When he was elected I joked that within six months there would be video of Joe wandering pantsless in the rose garden asking the topiary where he could get an ice cream.

Now it sorta feels like I jinxed him. LoL

Jim Crow Joe was selected by the DNC. democRATs fell in line. Though I think a lot of democRAT would like to dump him.
