Has😀 Anyone Noticed That Trump Is Really Old?
He doesn't even know who Pres. is now, and probably isn't for sure how old he is until someone tells him.

Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."
"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.
So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.
People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?
He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!
When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.
He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

THIS IS HUGE!
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse revealed a plan to get voting rights beyond a filibuster:
“Here’s the deal. Once Senate debate on a measure ends, you can pass the bill with a simple majority vote. So if you’re willing to outlast the other side, you don’t need cloture. This could take weeks, as other Voting Rights bills did, but we have a few tools that help.
One is my DISCLOSE Act being in the bill. Republicans must vote against it for their dark-money donors, but that kills them with voters. Ditto gerrymandering. Lots of focus on those painful votes for them in the bill will help.
Another is the Senate speak-twice rule. Senators who’ve spoken twice on a question can be ruled out of order if they keep at it. That’s why real filibusters were long, uninterrupted speeches. Not one and done, but two and done. (Yup, that’s 100 speeches by Rs — sorry!)
The motion to table allows the Senate to clear the decks of amendments. Each requires a vote, but is not debatable. Week after week, even through weekends, table the bad amendments.
“Dilatory” motions, amendments and other delaying mischief can be ruled out of order by the presiding officer. It takes a fair amount of nonsense before it becomes clearly dilatory, but it’s then a simple point of order—no vote.
There can be a vote to overrule the call, which is debatable; but when that fails, whatever motion or amendment was ruled dilatory ends.
So it’s painful, and long, and you have to exhaust Republican speakers and table or stop dilatory motions and amendments, but you can get to a simple majority vote — eventually.

We deserve accountability – from Donald Trump and others who tried to overturn the 2020 election, to elected officials who break campaign finance laws, to unethical Supreme Court justices who accept bribes and gifts from GOP mega-donors.
Sure, won't get much out of the SOTH we have right now.

Yes, I am grateful as well that we have a fine 'sanity' saving thread to use. You are all very special and I do appreciate you so much.
I'll look for a couple of memes though most of you may not have much time if any. They will be here if you do take a break from the good cooking and hosting.

Thanks to Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken, 50 hostages are going home and the Gazans will be getting aid on a regular basis.
Pres. Biden has been doing a marvelous job of almost everything he does. I'm a bit discouraged at how many Democrats (after he SAVED all of us) from the Loon, wish to complain and gripe for the most part about his age. His many yrs. of experience along with having been a Vice President for 8 years to me means he has still got it going on.
It is so important that we are cautions and careful now. I realize that it is un-likely that the Loon will be viable come election time, but we all found out that nothing is certain.

Real desperation going on. Johnson did go to MaraLago. He is so far out of his league it is almost hilarious. I'm betting he thinks God set him up to be Speaker too.
