I don't hate him, but I trust him about as far as I can throw my house.

Glad to have his opinions out there as long as they're contributing to the push AGAINST trump.

But I BET you he VOTED for trump in 2016. I bet he had open lines of communication with the trump campaign. I bet he was a
"Never Hillary."

And, just like you posted here, bdtrppr6, I bet after Biden wins (assuming he does, of course) ol' Rick here will go straight to the same old "OH THE DEFICIT! WE CAN'T HAVE DEFICIT SPENDING!!!!!!!" GOP moldie-oldie yowls against what we ARE GOING TO NEED TO DO to pull as many of our fellow Americans in trouble - back OUT of trouble.

We're GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND to help people in need, to help see them through the worst of the virus until we can get some sort of vaccine. It's gonna be A LOT of spending. Well, sorry. That's just too damn bad. Think of this as equivalent to a "we're at war" status. Because we ARE. I'm sorry. That's the ONLY way out, at least that I can see, realistically. People can't just eat air. Or pay their bills with it. They need FUNDING. They lost their jobs through no fault of their own, businesses went under through no fault of the owners, and they all just NEED HELP, DAMMIT!

I suspect the loudest objectors to this - who are obviously insinuating some foul motivations like "they just want free stuff!" - went to that assumption reflexively - BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY DO!!! The rich and well-connected don't want to pay taxes - but they don't mind availing themselves of all the things all that tax money pays for, from local road repair to national security.

After Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, he used Godric Gryffindor's Sword to crack the Resurrection Stone so as to destroy it as a Horcrux. While the act did destroy the ring as one of Riddle's Horcruxes, it did not stop the fatal curse. The curse gave Dumbledore's hand a withered black look, as though it had died.

He knows Dumdum will most likely be defeated. He's running this year and hoping to hang on long enough for his rotten party to retake the Senate in two years.

Then again, ugly does tend to come to the surface, maybe he really is rotting from the inside out.

I used to work in ICU. The dark marks around his mouth have yet to be explained, and I don't think it's cyanosis (lack of oxygen). Could he have been intubated for a procedure, and could those be bruises from that, or even from the tape that would hold the tube in place? I agree about the marks on his hands and arms, and that he very likely either had TPA for a stroke, or has been on a heparin drip for blood clots in a leg or lung. He is 76 and probably not in great health.

true, he may have to low oxygen levels. I thought I read this is one of the Covid symptoms.

(bottom left) it looks like the purple runs out onto his cheek. Now that could be just shadow, or it could be bruising (tape?). Whatever it is, Addison Mitchell McConnell is not a well man and could very well not survive another term. Perhaps Amy McGrath should gently mention that.

"bruised" too. That's a bruise on his nose also, that's clear at other angels, just like the one on the right side of his lip. The area above his lips and to the sides look swollen. I'm sure he's wearing make up to hide most of it.

that he fell? Or maybe some of Miss Elaine's thugs got hold of him? Or what? I suspect it's Covid, but it could be any number of things.

for the odd facial bruises and his lip coloring makes me think he's got an oxygen problem.

Some people say that he's been spotted rubbing against walls, rocks, and statues of Jefferson Davis to help loosen the old skin so he can crawl out of it.
