I imagine if this was a Democrat, this would be a thread with 100s of replies

Three days before Christmas you felt it was worthwhile to create such a thread regarding the unfortunate state of an elderly lady who resides in a different country than your own.

You have my sympathies.

If it were a Democrat she would be installed as president and the media would spend four years gaslighting about how brilliant she was and any reports to the contrary were just Russian and republican propaganda
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

I think it is an outrage. She's been in a memory facility for nearly 6 months. That means she was teetering on needing to be in one for at least many months before (arguably worse than Biden right now).

For that to be hidden by her family, the many aids working in her office and even her Congressional colleagues borders on fraud.

We are to the point where every member of Congress, the Supreme Court, the President and everyone requiring confirmation should be required to pass an independent cognitive exam annually.

It doesn't matter, R, D, I.

It is hard to differentiate between political lies on social media and fact but I keep hearing from those questionable sources that Ann Bennett, Harris County Tax Collector, has not been in her office for four years. I guess she, like many in government, used Covid to continue their vacation while the checks filled the bank automatically.

Someone needs to visit the AG and put this lie or truth to the public.

I sure hope she wasn't counted as voting on anything.

If true, she should resign immediately. She is drawing a large paycheck from the taxpayers and is unable to do the job. And Biden should have resigned years ago. His family and closest aides should be shamed for the national security risk that has existed all due to craven political and financial advantage. Americans deserve better.

There is something seriously wrong with our system that we have a brain-dead president and multiple brain-dead members of Congress (not counting Maxine Waters and the dude from Georgia that thinks Guam could tip over). It's bad enough with have two Didn't Earn It justices on SCOTUS that could not get into a community college law school.

If this is true, she and her staff should be forced to pay back all of their salary for the last two terms, and her staff should be banned from ever serving on Capitol Hill.

Can we get back to a country where we elect the best and brightest and not Didn't Earn It morons?

By her, looks like not since July

And she resigned her chair in March and was present for her portrait unveiling last month. Seems to be much ado about nothing

It was my understanding that they had annexed large portions of the UK. If not, my mistake. I may have been a bit premature on the posting, just a wee bit.

Just another example of why Congress needs term limits. It was never meant to be a career.

In order to do that it requires a majority of at least relatively informed, intelligent voters - because in a representative republic like ours the ultimate responsibility to not keep habitually voting morons, idiots, and incompetents into office ultimately lies with we the people. This past November 5th at least renewed my confidence that the situation in that regard isn't completely hopeless and lost - but we still have too many ignorant morons and dupes voting and as long as that continues to be the case, sadly these types of incompetent politicians are going to keep getting elected.

I seriously thought this was about orange jesus, that dude is a few short of a dozen for sure.

But Granger isn't in a dementia unit, she's in independent living, big difference.

We probably wouldn't have a thread about it if were a democrat.

The president has been escorted around by his caregiver for the past 4 years.
Well except when he wanders off by himself when she might be distracted.

That Granger has been a no show for 6 months is kind of minor in comparison.

That said, way way way too many old feeble cronies are still inhabiting seats in the
House and Senate and they really all need to go.

Yea, a dementia unit would be around $8000 a month.
