Topic starter  

I'm starting this thread after seeing this YTube video of Robert Reich showing what exactly Mitch is purposely not acting on even though the house has passed many bi-partisan bills.  Wondering what anyone sees happening to him come November and those judges Trump has appointed in the court of appeals that have lifetime appointments.

This post is for everyone in this community.  

Enjoy!

While visiting my mom this week, we went to a restaurant in Venice, CA for dinner.  On the drink menu was this beverage:  

Moscow Mitch Kentucky Mule

bourbon, cock n'bull ginger beer, lime mint

To help beat Mitch, go to : kydemocrats.org

That last line was in read.

Needless to say, I took a photo of the menu, and thought it was the greatest thing I had seen in a awhile.  

This is how we resist.

Hahaha. A new place in town a distillery/pub combination did something similar but while the drinks were popular to some there was massive negarive protests of inequality, political prejudice, etc etc etc 

I think the fallout made them pull them but I don't  know for sure, I just know the owners at that point were seriously considering lost revenue from the threats.

I have the intuition that he is going to succumb to Covid-19.

Right now much of Congress are home in their districts, but when they come back Covid-19 will come with them.

I see the Capitol Building shrouded with old fashioned mourning banners with the flag at half-mast and coffins being carried out of it at night. People are yelling, carrying pitchforks and torches, and are surrounding the building. There is also fireworks in the background so I'm guessing this is in July.

Someone posted this today and I'm wondering what is going on here. Does anyone have any insight? (It's a post by Occupy Democrats).

@whaleinashed. Hi, Welcome to the Forum!  For security reasons, our software deletes links for the first few posts.  You could send that link to me using the contact form and then I can post it here.  

It sounds ominous.  But nothing surprises me now.

Maybe it’s about the discoloration beneath his nose and on his hands? I saw the picture on Twitter

Yes, I saw the photo and Snopes says it is a real associate press photo.

This image is indeed an Associated Press photograph of the U.S. senator from Kentucky, taken on Oct. 20 and captioned as follows:

Snopes: “Hands of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are seen as he talks to the media after the Republican policy luncheon on Capitol Hill in Washington on October 20, 2020. Photo by Yuri Gripas/Abaca/Sipa USA”

Why McConnell’s hands exhibit purplish bruises and bandages has prompted much speculation, with guesses ranging from claims that the senator has contracted COVID-19 to the possibility that he has a vascular disease and/or is undergoing dialysis and is taking blood thinners. As neither McConnell nor any of his representatives have publicly commented on his condition, a definitive answer is not yet available. 

My thought is he's taking anti-coagulants and he had a small accident or had to go to the ER and they put him on IVs and that caused excessive bruising and explains the bandaides.
