It’s bad enough that FJB was a drooling idiot for what seems like his entire presidency, but when it’s one of our Texas gals… WTF is going on in Washington?
Rep. Kay Granger, the first Republican woman to represent a Texas district in the U.S. House of Representatives, has been found in a nursing home that specializes in memory care after having been missing from Congress for about six months.
Granger, 81, who was first elected to the House in 1996, and before that was the mayor of Fort Worth, has not cast a vote in Washington since July. Her absence had generated concern in her district, which is the Dallas-Ft. Worth metropolitan area, according to the New York Post.
She was found when a reporter at The Dallas Express got a tip that she had been staying at a memory care facility after being found wandering through her neighborhood while seemingly lost and confused.
FFS, and we could have elected someone errr fresher toot sweet if we’d learned about this back in July…
Somebody in the Republican party — Texas or Washington D.C. — needs to get their ass severely kicked, and it’s not Kay Granger.
I ain’t down wit dat! Either eliminate her district or not let them have a representative for a couple of terms.
unreal. they wheeled DiFi in on a wheelchair to vote I believe.
Feinstein was a wretched bitch. Anti gun for everyone except for govt thugs and herself of course. Hope that cunt rots in hell for eternity. She did everything she could to set this country back so she could remain wealthy and in power.
x2
It’s become increasingly clear that at least 90% of this rotten assed gov’t is not necessary at all.
I for one have never had use for any of it and never will.
Fire all of them and rescind all their benefits and put the proceeds toward the national debt.
Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and even many younger people in government are questionable in terms of their ability to make good decisions for any number of reasons.
I wonder if Joe Biden even knows what day it is
Kay Granger may HAVE been one of the good peeps in govt but she’s possibly demented like Joe now.
Yet all we hear is some Variation of orange man bad.
January 20th 2025 will be a great day because Trump is returning. That will really piss off the liberals and RINO’s.
Can we get some more young to old but not demented age range intelligent people in Govnerment? Voters need to step up. I mean how the fuck did that vegetable Fetterman win?
Incumbents in the house win re-elections at the ~90% rate, while senators usually at the 80% rate. Once you’re in, you are really fucking in. You could be brain-dead and on life support, but your campaign on auto-pilot will still hand you a win come November. Someone in the party (not Kay herself, obviously) decided it was more important to have a guaranteed “R” in that seat rather than take a risk on someone else who’s election chances would be 50/50 or maybe 60/40. With any luck she’ll die soon and the governor will appoint another R to fill in.
This is yet one more example of why we need term limits.
“This is yet one more example of why we need term limits.”
We have term limits. It’s called the elections – yet voters are fucking stupid
Hence your next statement “Incumbents in the house win re-elections at the ~90% rate, while senators usually at the 80% rate”
3 things are needed to make real change that will matter
1. Voter ID required and in person voting for everyone except the military. If you can’t show up the day of the election with a photo ID then fuck right off.
2. If you are on any kind of welfare – food stamps, EBT (everybody’s taxes) , free college any kind of freebie other than disability or Social security retirement, you don’t get to vote until you are done sucking off of the tit of society. Don’t like it? Work your ass off and pay your own fucking way.
3. The voters need to wake the fuck up. If the voters Continue to elect people who fuck them up the ass raw dog no lube after the above 2 changes are made them the ass fucking is well deserved.
I wish The Media, et al would stop calling people who think like we do “Conservatives”; we’re not Conservatives, we’re Realists; we don’t wear rosy-colored glasses/blinders, we see the world as it really exists.
The problem isn’t that the people of the United States do not have the government they deserve.
They do.
The problem is that *I* have the government *they* deserve.
You need more absentee ballots than just military. There are State Dept embassy and consulate staff stationed overseas. There are people working long-term contracts overseas that are still citizens and paying federal and state taxes that can’t all fly home at once to vote. Merchant marine at sea, etc. Hell, I know someone from Texas working on a big construction project in Washington state for several months. You would disenfranchised him if he can’t fly home to vote?
Was everybody in the Texas Democrat party on Vacation during the Last cycle? Nobody realized they would not have any live opposition? All they had to do to win that seat was point out the district no longer had a functional Representative. Is Texas a one party State like here in Massachusetts? Representatives run unopposed? Out Republican State committee can’t even be bothered to find even Token Canidates to fill the blank Ballot slots. We can’t vote them out if there is no one else to vote for. A blank vote is a wasted vote. Democracy died long ago here
“3. The voters need to wake the fuck up. If the voters Continue to elect people who fuck them up the ass raw dog no lube after the above 2 changes are made them the ass fucking is well deserved.”
Massachusetts is fucked. Only the Supreme Court and the feds can make any meaningful changes now. And that is even a fat chance.
Hope the deportations of illegals and federal funds are shut off to liberal states very soon. Can’t keep feeding the beast.
“Out Republican State committee can’t even be bothered to find even Token Canidates to fill the blank Ballot slots. We can’t vote them out if there is no one else to vote for. A blank vote is a wasted vote”
In Massachusetts this past election, an anti trump republican ran against Pocohontas. I won’t even put his name here. He was fucking pathetic. Not a snowballs chance in hell he would win. I left that seat blank on the ballet. The voters lost before the ballots were even cast
Again once it’s so far gone that voting can’t help, the only final hope before a breakdown of the system is that the feds step in and fix some of the states. But the states have rights too. And the states and feds will argue forever on who has the right to do what.
I think the Dems and media (but I repeat myself) ignored this story because bringing any attention to it would inevitably have people making uncomfortable comparisons with Joe Biden. But since the media threw him under the bus last week, finally admitting his manifest unfitness for office for at least the last couple of years, or likely his entire term, now Granger’s story can safely be told.
