Mitch McConnell Freezes Again When Asked a Simple Question

Video below the fold. It's worse than his last freeze.

Speaking of corrupt superannuated whores, Franklin Foer's new book reports that Biden complains of being "treated like a toddler" by "his staff."

Spoiler: They're not his staff, they're the First Gay President Obama's, and they're not staff, they're toddler-minders.


After going off-script to declare that Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power" during a March speech in Warsaw, Joe Biden fumed that his aides had infantilized him by walking back his comments, according to an excerpt of a new book released Wednesday.


"Biden instantly knew that the White House would have to clarify his mistake. By the time Biden piled into the motorcade. His aides had released a statement walking back his sentence," Franklin Foer writes in his forthcoming biography of Biden's first term in the White House, The Last Politician, excerpted in Axios.

"Biden left for home, ending his triumphalist tour, feeling sorry for himself," Foer continues. "Rather than owning his failure, he fumed to his friends about how he was treated like a toddler. Was John Kennedy ever babied like that?"

Via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit. He linked my earlier post and now I see I wrote "Frederick Foer" when I meant "Franklin Foer."

Via JackStraw.

The best part of Mitch's brain lock is the question he was struggling to answer was whether he was going to run in 2026 or not.

Seems like he answered the question pretty eloquently.

160 >>>103 I think Ace was thinking of Freddie DeBoer or something

I think it's just that English readers focus on the first couple of letters of a word and assume the rest. They've done studies showing that people can easily read text which has a lot of typos or missing letters so long as the first couple of letters are correct, and the word is about the right length. We can sight-read from the first couple of letters and word length, with the brain filling in the best guess of the word.

So I just had "Fr" in my head and the rote processing part of my brain just filled in the best guess for names beginning with "Fr," which was Frederick.

I wasn't of that opinion originally, but I've come to agree with this view. Compared to what Hillary had in mind when she became POTUS, Garland may actually be on the moderate side of the crazy train. Everything he's doing now can be chalked up to malice and revenge, not ideology. A Ketanji Brown Jackson-type was probably more what would have been installed in a Hillary presidency.

And with that change, American government was broken.

The People had a house: the House of Representatives.
The States had a house: the Senate.

The People's House could put anything it wanted forward, and the State's House could crush it, and vice-versa. The States got the say on federal appointments, the People on the budget.

Then it was all destroyed when the People got two houses. It broke Power is devolved to the federal government by the states and by the people. The state system was destroyed when they lost their representation.

269 ...Joe Biden fumed that his aides had infantilized him by walking back his comments, according to an excerpt of a new book released Wednesday.

I've had elderly relatives do this. They stumble and almost fall if not for someone catching them, they forget where things are and have to be shown, can't zip their jacket without help, etc. and then get mad and yell "Stop treating me like a baby!". It is an angry reaction against their failing faculties against the people helping them rather than acknowledge that the old gray mare 'aint what she used to be. Some will just say thank you and laugh.

San Francisco store clerk attacked by robber dies from injuries
https://tinyurl.com/zds5yykj

Yowhannes, affectionately known as John, suffered a brain injury while trying to stop a thief who attacked him while he was working at a neighborhood market.
His daughter revealed that despite undergoing two surgeries, he never regained consciousness.
The owner of the market told KTVU that at around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, the man accused of the beating first came into the store and stole water. He returned 10 minutes later to steal two beers.
According to the owner, Yowhannes wielded a bat to deter the thief near the front door. However, the man seen in surveillance images knocked him down, causing him to strike his head on the ground. The man allegedly then used the bat to strike Yowhannes before fleeing the scene. As of now, the man remains at large.

KTLA - Smash-and-grab robbers steal over $500,000 worth of jewelry from Pasadena shop

A group of smash-and-grab robbers remain at large after ransacking a Pasadena store and escaping with over half a million dollars worth of jewelry on Tuesday.
According to the shop’s owner, Sam Babikian, three masked men wearing gloves entered the shop and pepper sprayed him during the destructive robbery.
Images from the scene show shattered display cases throughout the shop as empty jewelry trays and holders lay scattered on the ground.
Babikian recalls the robbers attacking him as he was opening the front door to escort a customer outside.
“As soon as I opened the door, I got pepper sprayed right in my eye, my throat, my mouth, “ he said. “I couldn’t see anything. Then I could hear was smashing and grabbing.”

2. Similarly, Joe Biden needs to stay in place long enough to ensure the unelectable Kamala Harris can't take his place. The swap-out for one of the jostling Young Turks will be a finely calculated operation, likely at or after Aug. 2024 DNC convention, one month after the GOP's. /3

This is a high risk strategy on both fronts, aimed at keeping an ailing octogenarian and an ailing nonagenarian somehow upright, and relying on a complicit media not to report the obvious. But the party that just won a Senate race with a brain-damaged candidate, who could barely speak, obviously thinks it can pull it off. /4

432 354 I guess the plan is to drag this out until the nukes fly?

The Biden administration is working to reach a deal with Ukraine for long-term military support to keep backing the war with Russia that would be difficult for a future president to exit, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

Every year, starting soon, now, the gulls at the shore around our place in Sussex County recognize that folks are pulling out so they begin picking up shellfish from the marshes, carrying them up into the air, and then dropping them on the paved roads to break them open. It becomes a low level background sound at the peak of the feeding.

The roads become a mess of gray and decaying detritus, but that's life. Our highways soon will resemble those roads as flamed out EVs are turned into road guano.

I think it's about the struggle in CA for winning the seat at the next election. If she resigns, governor appoints someone else who becomes de facto frontrunner.

A more open contest preserves Schiff's name recognition as a positive at a level that him as challenger wouldn't.

481 Mitch can go to Hell. Soon.

Per the discussion in the last thread, I think now would be an ideal time for the Party to murder a key opposition figure. Whether by jailing and Epsteining him, or failing that, by Kennedying him.

The broader opposition is already demoralized and on its back foot, from the stolen election, and its power is more or less total at this moment. Publicly murdering the opposition leader during a politically challenging time for him, when division is rife among the opposition, means it will not galvanize them. It would just put an end to it for a long time.

If I'm them, I go for it.
