Things that you have taken seriously today (Political version)

[Parkbandit]

Forgot about Dianne Feinstein... who has to rely on her handlers to tell her how she to vote.

like 90% of congress are geriatric and have dementia. you have a lot in common with them parkbandit, don't hate too hard

I agree. No reason for someone like mcconnell to stay in office while stroking out at the podium.

You've been quiet on Diane Feinstein, Fetterman, and Biden all this time even though it's painfully obvious they are not there mentally.

McConnell gets quiet for a few seconds on camera and suddenly "THE OLD ASSHOLE HAS GOTS TO GO!"

Tell us again how you're not a far-leftist.

Thirty very poignant seconds. Biden's been clocked in at less than five, slightly more if you count him doing the robot on stage.

I pretty sure all of the folks mentioned in this thread need to be ousted. Fragile people who can't speak or think for themselves need to go. Don't care which party they are in.

this is the correct take. i'm sorry but out of touch, very, very old people should not be writing policy in this country (even though they don't anyway). there should be no reason why people with literal dementia should be governing. the fact that these people won't retire is just pure hubris and inability to let go of power.

I confess that I had to look up the meaning of CTE, as used by the Congressman from Michigan..

Rep. John James (R-Mich.) criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday for his response to Republican lawmakers who called him out on his state’s new Black history education standards Friday.

“@RonDeSantis, #1: slavery was not CTE!” James posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Nothing about that 400 years of evil was a ‘net benefit’ to my ancestors. #2: there are only five black Republicans in Congress and you’re attacking two of them.”

More...

James pleaded with DeSantis to change course.

“My brother in Christ… if you find yourself in a deep hole put the shovel down,” he wrote. “You are now so far from the Party of Lincoln that your Ed. board is re-writing history and you’re personally attacking conservatives like [Scott] and [Donalds] on the topic of slavery.”

“You’ve gone too far. Stop,” he added.

Here's a question for all of you First Amendment junkies. Does your right to freely enjoy your faith give you the right to deny medical treatment to a child whose life is dependent on it? The below situation may hinge on the ignorance of the parents, but after six cases where a faith healer convinced members of their congregation not to treat?

Faith-healing couple plead guilty to denying medical treatment for 13-year-old son

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Two members of a faith healing church in Oregon City pleaded guilty to denying their son medical care on Tuesday.

Brittney and Jake Heimbigner, members of the Followers of Christ Church, admitted they didn’t get their 13-year-old son dialysis treatment in a case stemming from September of 2021.

In the plea bargain, the prosecutor is recommending 15 days in jail and three years’ probation.

“Our office makes this offer having considered the significant harm that (their son) suffered, the awareness of the risk to him that both defendants demonstrated in their statements to police, and their disregard of that risk by failing to seek medical care until confronted by law enforcement,” wrote Deputy District Attorney Bryan Censoni in court documents.

Sentencing will be scheduled for sometime after the first week of September.

Since 2008, the Heimbigners are the sixth couple to be prosecuted as members of the church, accused of not getting their children medical care.

In court Tuesday, it was noted the couple will be able to try to convince the judge they should not get any jail time at sentencing. Jake’s lawyer told KOIN 6 News the couple may not have realized their son’s condition was urgent.

“It’s a question of what did they know and when did they know it,” said attorney Wayne Mackeson.

In prior Followers of Christ criminal cases, defense attorneys argued the parents didn’t know how bad off their child was until it was too late.

I ask that same question of pro baby killers every damn day.
