Biden's odds of getting Judges approved increases with Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee in my estimation.

She's out of the hospital and recovering at home.

I'm sending her well-wishes for a speedy recovery, myself.

"PJB"? Can't we just use his initials? Is there something wrong with JRB? JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2023 #11

That type of designation came on at DU with Barack Obama, aka BO. Right? So he became PBO. Hekate Apr 2023 #17

Right. Because BHO would have acknowleged his middle name, Hussein. JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2023 #20

You were here at the time, I think. Did you fight the trend? Hekate Apr 2023 #33

"Fight the trend"? no, but I did beat my head against the same wall JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2023 #145

OR (just spitballing), we could call him President Biden. brooklynite Apr 2023 #24

Charging by the acronym could actually be lucrative here though. littlemissmartypants Apr 2023 #35

There's nothing wrong with "PJB". We use initials all the time around here. oldsoftie Apr 2023 #103

I'm a bit dyslexic and I thought it was peanut butter and jelly Tumbulu Apr 2023 #140

Agree. we use initials all the time. But, "PJB" are not his initials. JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2023 #146

Why she didn't retire around 2013 is utterly perplexing. DickKessler Apr 2023 #155

The OP is not smearing or slandering her. maxsolomon Apr 2023 #23

Saying someone should resign because of an inability to serve is "smearing"? brooklynite Apr 2023 #26

Having Shingles is NOT an inability. Just A Box Of Rain Apr 2023 #30

She has missed the vast majority of the votes this year. whopis01 Apr 2023 #47

You go right ahead with that. But I will reiterate that Fetterman has comparative youth on his side Hekate Apr 2023 #43

Not apples to apples. It's already been stated. She's almost 90. Don't be disingenuous. themaguffin Apr 2023 #81

So ageism is suddenly an acceptable form of bigotry? Just A Box Of Rain Apr 2023 #86
