    The good news is that it will be gone by 2028.

    You forget to mention that in this interview, Trump praised the intelligence of Kim Jong Un, Xi and Putin.

    He called them the top of the line.

    I can't imagine the conservative outrage if Biden had said such a thing.

    But when it's Trump, it's the cult.

    I won't go into detail about Trump's mental state because, like you, I don't have the medical knowledge.

    But I do know two things:

    1- He is a compulsive liar who probably believes his own lies.

    2- His narcissism is so pervasive that he constantly sees himself as a victim.

    He was always unfit to be POTUS. He is an extremely dangerous man and fortunately the majority of voters feel the same way.

    Oh Yeah! There are many more but they just don't see it. Age and term limits are badly needed of all our elected officials . Then again the people keep re-electing them. Then again, maybe, we need age and competency tests for those voting.

    I'm as old if not older on every person on that list. That said:

    Every time my Doctor see's me he says "Still around ,huh?"
    My neurologist says " You aint right in the head boy".
    My old friends who see me say "I thought you were dead"
    My weekly friends say " Your looking better" ( Make's me wonder what I looked like last time they seen me and told me "Your looking better".
    My kids see me and ask me if I remembered I promised them such and such.
    My Grandkids ask me when I leave the house " Grandpa can you bring me back some ice cream" When I snap back "I ain't goin' no where why did you ask that?" they reply " I heard mama say" won't be long now as you're on your way out"
    My wife says " I don't think those little blue pills are working for you anymore"
    My funeral director friend tells me " I'm still holding a place for you".
    My girl friends say " We love ya honey but you too old to cut the mustard".

    It's interesting how you hate Trump so much and yet follow his every word.

    Yea, those guys are "top of line" dictators and very dangerous. If they were as weak as Biden, they would be deposed and probably dead. One makes a big mistake when you characterize your enemies as stupid and incompetent. Those three are anything but that.

    Kim Jong Un rules of a repressive and backward country, yet he is developing the rocketry to deliver a nuclear device to the West Coast of the United States and probably beyond. In the mean time Biden and the progressives are worried about what pronouns to use around sexual deviants and whether or not they should influence small children. I'll tell you what those dictators would do them, and it would not involve kid gloves and kindness, if those people got in their way. Throwing them off of buildings, the way the radical Muslims do, would be one of the quicker ways of dealing with them.

    MAGA are always trying to rationalize all the nonsense that Trump says.

    As if there was some logic that only they could understand.

    Stop taking people for idiots.

    Trump doesn't consider Xi, Kim or Putin as enemies.

    Didn't he once say that he trusted Putin more than his own intelligence services?

    Trump admires them. Trump dreams of being an autocrat.

    I'm all for term limits.
    Feinstein is the perfect example of a politician who has noticeably been mentally compromised for a few years now and given a pass.
    That is the problem.
    I wouldn't be surprised if she's now beyond comprehending zilch and her staff is in charge and trying to milk her position and their salaries as long as they can.
    There's nothing stopping her from giving a phone interview to the media if she was mentally up and running.

    All of the govt. spending and subsidizing are already being shifted elsewhere. Even the Pac Rim shipping is being diverted elsewhere. The middle class has been hollowed out and is fleeing in droves. Cali still has the large Congressional delegation, but it is being bypassed more and more effectively every year.

    Probably, but right now, she's PHYSICALLY unable to serve, which is worse...

    We're losing valuable judge time here...

    The real problem is that w/o GOP help to get to 60, Schumer won't be able to fill her spot...
    And, the GOP seems adamant about holding firm and defeating Schumer's attempt...
    Horrific decision to allow DF back on the Jud. Committee...
    Biggest bonehead move since RBG refused to resign under Obama when Dems had the Senate...

    After Democrats did everything humanly possible to undermine our last president for 4 years why in the hell should they compromise or help Democrats?

    It's like you totally forgot to read my post.... For 4 years Democrats obstructed in every way they could. So they have a lot of nerve expecting cooperation at this point

    LOL at "GOP help".... that runs against their entire reason for being...

    But certainly a Dem self own here.... Great point about putting her back on the committee KNOWING appointing judges would be all these 2 years would be about in the Senate...

    I don't want to see anybody's legacy tarnished here, but the stakes are just too high.... she should resign ASAP.

    She offered to give up her committee seat "temporarily", so she's not that far off... she knows this is not how she wants her final days of a stellar career in public service to go down...

    Good thoughts, EB..
    Here is a question that I can't seem to find the answer to:
    If she resigns, does Schumer still face the same problem of getting 10 GOP Members to go along with a Jud. Cmte replacement?
    B/c if that is the case (regardless), it won't make much of a difference...

    Great question, but I wouldn't imagine so.... Seems it's only the "temporary" replacement of DiFi requires that cooperation.

    A resignation or death should result in a simple assignment to get the committee back to the agreed upon levels (11-10)

    Also, not to be mean, but her picture on the committee website is not really accurate anymore, is it??

    https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/members

    The GOP 10 are some of the absolute bottom of the barrel on that side... Can you imagine having to committee with Cruz, Hawley, Cotton, and Blackburn?? No wonder she got shingles...

    I hope you're correct on that...
    In that case, she MUST Resign (Immediately, if not sooner)...

    Well, if there's a loophole to prevent the committee from getting back to 11-10 in the middle of a term, I'd expect Moscow Mitch and his Malevolent MAGA's to find it, now that he's back online....

    Or at least they'll delay it as long as possible...

    Perhaps the grim reaper is extending his skiing vacation in Bern?
