@mypeez : No one was expecting to hear this today. Apparently, the 911 call came from Baltimore.

Definitely unexpected. While I didn't support his level of politics, and his unwavering support of the President, I express my condolences to his family. According to the AP article I read, he never married, had no kids, but has a sister that he helped raise after their parents died.

@skutfarcus :
That's why it's called the game of politics. If you're running against a candidate or candidates, you bad mouth them as much as possible. Then, when they win, you mend fences and support them, especially if they hold the carrot of a position in their office or cabinet. Or promised funds for your state or district in exchange.
 
Democrats play the same game too.
 
My opinion only and whatever.

@DennisinPeoria :
Vance didn't run for POTUS but bad-mouthed trump. Only changed his tune when trump was dangling the carrot.

@skutfarcus :
He's a school age bully, simple as that. His comment about Mueller's passing was outrageous. And MAGAs were crickets on it.
 
But we don't need to lower ourselves to Donny Boy's level either. We're better than him.
My opinion and mine alone and no one else.

@DennisinPeoria :
Lindsey Graham lowered himself to trump's level. I have no respect for him or any of the other enablers.

@skutfarcus :
I'm sorry, but those of us that oppose what's going on with the current administration should NOT wish death on anyone!
If we had a family member in a high office that received constant criticism from the opposite party, we wouldn't want social media to wish death on them, would we?
 
McConnell is retiring from his office come January 3 unless he has to resign due to health issues before then. He can just fade away into history, especially with his antics on not allowing Obama's pick for SCOTUS in 2016. Then pushing to get another SCOTUS judge confirmed in case DJT lost in 2020.
 
I also don't wish death on Donald Trump. I'd rather see the rest of Epstein files be released and not redacted. And if they implicate him, then he should be removed, impeached, whatever; charged, indicted, tried, and convicted, and sent to prison.
 
My opinion and mine alone and not my employer's.

The DC Medical Examiners office is saying that the preliminary examination is showing aortic dissection in the heart.

perhaps this will put the poison rumors to bed. Unless that can cause this medical condition.

Somebody in Baltimore very possible his chief of staff, called 911in DC and gave the address of his house. Paramedics broke in and found him and took him to GW. When this news broke I admit I first thought of Putin and his agents. I do not think so at all. Too,too many security cameras near there.
