It is so important to keep calling these MAGA R’s out on a daily basis. The ancient Grassley…I wonder if he really knew that he was thinking out loud. The border issue was so close to being a done deal until their lord and savior piped in. I view Mike Johnson as a loyal puppy to Leonard Leo and to Trump/Putin. So irritating!

Hoping Jack Smith goes to the 11th Circuit and asks that Cannon be removed so that his trial can proceed before November. We need a nice Blue clean sweep.

I just looked it up - Grassley is 90. NINETY. Oh, but Biden is too old. Boo fricken hoo.

I don’t care that Grassley is ninety. I honestly don’t care about his age. But to reveal that he would deny families the child tax credit because he wants a rich tax-cut secured, says everything about his infamy. And “Family Values”!

I don't really care that he's 90, either. My mom is 93, but I would not want her making decisions about millions of people's lives, and I don't think she would either.

He has denied families for decades. Sadly not just his state.

And he is definitely not alone in that age bracket!!!

Marlene, he is one of my senators. I wrote him yesterday and asked bluntly, what is wrong with you? I also made sure that he knew that the reoubs are being cheered for on Russian TV. They love the obstruction the repubs are doing. Don't know if it will make a difference, but I do know he dud not appreciate being told he was practicing fascism.

I have given up writing to Grassley. I criticized him for not allowing Garland a chance at becoming a justice, and he never responded. I have written about other things and I get GOP talking points. I guess if you feel like your words have no effect, it's just a useless effort or a way to vent.

I have read the offices of the clowns have to record all our calls and letters. Whether or not this is true, who knows. To what end though? - like you said.

Okay, then inundate his office with phone calls! See my comment to Rickey above.

Why does he care about getting reelected? He'll be like 94 when he runs for reelection?

At least Tom Harkin knew when it was time to pass the torch. Unfortunately, he passed it to Joni Ernst.

Rickey, good for you! Our voices must be heard. Listen, when you call their offices, their staff has to record your call and they have to keep a running total of how many calls they get a day and on what subjects. This is how they know where their constituents stand. If enough people take the time to make these phone calls, change happens. No matter what, you did the right thing!

Bravo. Thank you.

I blame the electorate as much as these ancient politicians for not having a mandatory retirement age and term limits.

I am totally baffled why Cannon is allowed to continue to delay the trial. Can she be removed on the grounds of malfeasance or acting based on her personal beliefs and not the law?

I think Jack will ask the 11th Circuit to remove her abd replace her with someone else.

I hope so, but on what grounds?

Based on repubs claiming President Biden is too old then they must surely believe Grassley is well beyond being capable of holding office. But of course they don’t, it’s just more GOP hypocrisy.

Johnson is not a “puppy”. He is a pervert trying to hide his own demons.
