New in PN: Retire in peace
"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

I’m so damn tired of people saying that others “pushed” Trump into going to war. The “neocons” pushed him, his “advisors” pushed him, or even Netanyahu pushed Trump into this war. Bullshit. HE is the President. HE has agency. HE decided to go to war. HE launched this war. The buck stops with HIM.

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.
