Image of Haley Joel Osment from his Oscar-nominated performance in the movie The Sixth Sense. Updated with a cultural reference to current U.S. politics. The scene occurs at about the 4-minute mark of this excerpt - but beware that this is a major spoiler for those who have not seen the movie.
One rumor going around on the Right is that these people are having conversations with an AI.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, McConnell should have gone a long time ago. We need some practical rules that make it impossible for staffs to replace actual members of Congress. Too many cases like this are happening.
I don't care much for Mr. McConnell, but neither do I care for some of the memes I see. This one is not too bad.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans wouldn't be so afraid of a special election if they had anything to run on other than the disastrous failures of their president.
ReplyDeleteMandatory retirement exists for commercial pilots for the protection of everyone.
ReplyDeleteSame should apply to politicians. And probably at the same age: 65 or bad health exam.
Keeping the idea that someone is still alive in an effort to perhaps thwart a political election seems over the top corruption.
ReplyDeleteI don't know a lot about the politics of the United States of America, but I do know that your current president, twice elected by you all, by the way, has made it so he has massive influence on countries outside the USA.
My personal fuel bill has increased by about 25% ... that is a large increase.
And fuel runs a country so my groceries have increased too, and even though we have mainly rainwater driven electricity, those costs have gone up too ... everything has increased in price, and all because your 8 year spoilt boy in a fat suit president is an idiot.
He's literally not elected by "all". He's elected by a third of eligible voters. People who don't vote massively outnumber swing voters.
DeleteI'm never watching The Sixth Sense or ET or Casablanca or Citizen Kane. Mitch is dead and the election commission is fired. You're living in a kleptocracy, America, and the next big steal will be the midterms. There won't be stormtroopers toppling ballot boxes, there'll be lawyers fighting legitimate elections so the official winners can't take on their roles. You are going to see hundreds of legal cases obfuscating the results. And, oddly, the Supreme Court will allow it.
ReplyDeleteAnd so, because of those things, you're not going to watch American movies? Or am I missing a narrower focus?
DeleteCan't blame the kid for mixing up McConnell and Graham.
