Something Ain't Right
Submitted by Pluto's Republic on Mon, 02/14/2022 - 4:35pmPresident Biden Receives a Letter from Congress
Expressing Concerns about his Mental State and Urging him to Undergo a Medical Evaluation as Soon as Possible
After months of media and opposition accusations suggesting that former President Donald Trump was mentally unfit to hold the office of President of the United States, President Trump finally agreed to submit to a cognitive test. In 2018, the White House Physician
administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) to President Trump. He handily passed the test.
Now, the same demands are being made of President Joe Biden. in a letter written by Texas Rep. Dr. Ronny Jackson, and signed by 37 of his Republican colleagues in Congress, Jackson warns that, "President Biden's mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent over the past two years." He urges the 79-year-old President to take a cognitive aptitude test (just as former President Trump did).

OTOH, there is a lot of work to do and little of that work has been done so far.

I'm against both sides
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Mon, 02/14/2022 - 10:44amWhatever source you might have for political media, that source is probably asking you to "take one side or the other" in a current controversy. I'm against both sides of most of these controversies.
What both sides are implicitly saying is:
1) We can't have Medicare for All but we should promote (name your health policy).

Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 02/13/2022 - 10:54pmThis is going to be painful, but it can no longer be ignored. So I suggest doing it fast, like ripping a bandage off.
I'm going to apologize in advance for some of the worst rap music ever created.

I took these about ten days ago at Santee Lakes. I'd never seen the Northern Pintail before. I did't know what it was. I had to look it up.
