Taking the Senate should be A#1 priority

We cannot count on Joe taking the WH, but with a D controlled House and Senate we could remove the orange POS via impeachment.

So as a contingency plan, taking the Senate should be a priority.

White House wanted tRump to be added to Mt Rushmore!!

From CNN
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/09/politics/mount-rushmore-trump-south-dakota/index.html

Washington (CNN)White House aides reached out to South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem last year about the process of adding additional presidents to Mount Rushmore, the New York Times reported.

According to a person familiar who spoke with the Times, Noem then greeted Trump when he arrived in the state for his July Fourth celebrations at the monument with a four-foot replica of Mount Rushmore that included his face.
Noem has noted before Trump's "dream" to have his face on Mount Rushmore, the Coolidge-era sculpture that features the 60-foot-tall faces of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
According to a 2018 interview with Noem, the two struck up a conversation about the sculpture in the Oval Office during their first meeting, where she initially thought he was joking. "I started laughing," she said. "He wasn't laughing, so he was totally serious."
"He said, 'Kristi, come on over here. Shake my hand, and so I shook his hand, and I said, 'Mr. President, you should come to South Dakota sometime. We have Mount Rushmore.' And he goes, 'Do you know it's my dream to have my face on Mount Rushmore?'"
Trump also toyed with the idea of adding himself to Mount Rushmore in 2017 at a campaign rally in Youngstown, Ohio.
During his July Fourth speech to supporters in South Dakota, Trump fiercely defended Mount Rushmore -- which activists and native tribal leaders have long criticized for its history and purpose -- saying it will "stand forever as an eternal tribute to our forefathers, and to our freedom."
"As we meet here tonight there is a growing danger that threatens every blessing our ancestors fought so hard for," Trump warned.
A White House official noted to the New York Times that Mount Rushmore is a federal, not a state monument

I am so sick of anti-maskers and anti-vaxers

Heres a few thoughts...

If you contract Covid and it can be proven that you either refused to wear a mask and when one comes out, refused to get vaccinated, the consequences should NOT be covered by insurance nor by any and all types of medical/financial aid.

I dont want my tax dollars going to help pay for your stupidity when you are laying there in the hospital racking up extensive medical bills because you felt so violated in having to put a piece of cloth over your face for a couple hours.

You are sooooo up in arms about your goddamn freedoms being violated because you have to wear a fucking mask....well, go live in Russia, China, North Korea or a hundred other places and then get back to me about your freedom.

And...OH MY GOD..THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO IMPLANT A TRACKING DEVICE IN YOU WITH THE VACCINE!!! REALLY??? If you really believe that, look me up because I have a unicorn, a round trip ticket to the North Pole to hang with Santa and the elves and a dinner with the Easter Bunny to sell ya!

Somebody please wake my ass up cause I cant spend another minute in this nightmare!!

What reality are these people living in??

Hearing more and more radio ads from reThug PACs blaming Dems for the pandemic. Taking credit for slowing it down due to travel restrictions, research and quick response. Blaming Nancy P for the economy crash and the unemployment numbers
Sad thing is the cult is eating this up.

Have any of you guys gone through chemo for prostate cancer that has spread to your lungs?

Just found out this morning that my prostate cancer has spread to my lungs. They are going to put me on 6 rounds of Taxotere pending results of biopsy. I know everyone is different, but what are some things that I can expect from those of you who have gone through it.
Thanks

The dude just isnt well!

He can barely make it down a 10° ramp...
He needs both hands to bring a glass of water to his mouth...
He can't even stand up straight...
He looks as if he's put on another 50lbs in the last month...

He'll be lucky if he even makes it to November...

Secretary of State

I've been thinking a lot about this lately. Biden needs to choose the next Secretary of State very carefully. That person will need to mend a LOT of fences. That person should be well known and highly respected by most of the other world's leaders.

Now, I know this is just a pipe dream, and I highly doubt he would do it, but could you imagine if that person was Barack Obama??

There is absolutely no precedent for a former POTUS to hold such a high office. In fact, the ONLY former president to hold any public office after his term was John Quincy Adams serving as a US representative. But we are living in uncharted territory here.

One can only dream....
