i hope john conyers get a full neuro-psyche exam including

an mri. i suspect he will be found to be suffering from some level of dementia.
then i hope that the full report is made public.
lets start a national discussion about dementia and brain health.

i think many, many, many people, even supporters, know cheato is suffering from some kind of brain health problems. i suspect many of his supporters act in real life the way they are acting now- ignoring the clear signs of mental impairment in their families, in their work places, in themselves.

this is a badly needed national conversation. not just because of cheato, but because we boomers are getting to that place in our lives, and denying it can cause a great deal of damage and suffering for everyone around them.

lets get some facts and figures out there ahead of the end of this regime so that people can digest it, and understand it.
otherwise the level of denial among the deplorables is gonna cause an epic split in this country that is going to take a very long time to heal.
obviously that spit is inevitable, but lets at least try to ameliorate it while we still can.

never pay for expedited shipping this time of year.

i ordered a part for my stove LAST NIGHT. even tho i wanted it fast, i picked regular ups for $8, instead of 2 day for $28.
the part is already here. ups is just in rock and roll mode, and everything flies.
save your money.

about john conyers

listening to a story about the allegations on msnbc.
the stories scream to me of alzheimers.
i hope someone in his family takes this situation as a way to drag him to the doctor.

showing up in his pajamas, and loosing his inhibitions?
90 years old.

come on people. i have no problem w people serving forever as long as all the tools are still sharp. but i find it so disturbing when people are shielded from their mortality.

how is doug jones soft on crime when

he convicted the kkk members that killed those little girls?
maybe cheato means he is prosecuting the wrong people.

i saw this movie quite a while ago, and cant wait to watch it again.

dear investigative journalists- how are congressional pages these days?

if members of congress and their professional staffs are not safe, still, then what is happening to the pages?

y'all remember the pages, right?
john shimkus, who was in charge of the pages, still sits in congress after mark foley quit when caught stalking and harassing pages.
he should be in prison, but no.

i say we should check in w them.

correct me if i am wrong- the anita hill moment.

some people are asking if #metoo is different from the moment that anita hill pulled back the curtain. will it stick this time?

my recollection of that time is that a flood of stories ensued back then. it looked like it might be a flood that would upturn the world of politics and power.
but it died away.

i dont remember who else was outed for doing what.

but this feels like a lot the same, where more and more people were hit, but then stories became more and more ambiguous. then it died.

did the media get tired and move it off the front burner?
or did people get tired of hearing about it?
or did we get compassion overload?
or did powerful people snuff it out?

while we are talking about flynn and turkey,

might we mention that the whole coup they are trying to pin on gullen was as phony as a $3 bill?

no doubt they would have loved to hang the dude for it anyway, which is why obama wouldnt hand him over.
all i know about the dude is that his org owns the charter school around the corner from me which is a model damn school.
and that the fbi raided the central office, and it was a nothingburger.
