Coffee Talk V: The Final Battle

Some of the most recent arrestees in Russia protesting the war.

Wait, that pic's not too clear. Here's another. Children.

#SOTU and #STFU not only look similar, but one is usually a reaction to the other.

I just got back from the SOTU address. Overall it was good but two complaints. The nachos had cold cheese. Yuck. And beer sales were cut off way too early! I saw Lauren Boebert trying to push a door that said pull for 8 minutes.

4 out of 5 stars

The whole SOTU I kept thinking how old and confused Biden sounds at times, which is sadly much better than the verbal diahrrea of non sequitors that would spill from Trump's tiny brain.

We need an age limit. A country's policies and the nuclear arsenal should not be controlled by the whims of a 21-year old. There is a law to cover that concern and its raison d'etre is sound.

There should be a law at the other end of the spectrum and I'm tired of seeing confused old men (Reagan, Trump, Biden) yield so much power. Hit the links, grandpa. 65 max. Congress, Senate, Presidency.

Granted this is a Texas Primary but still what we expected is happening.

I am going to counter offer. How about no one can be elected into term they would turn 75 in. So a 70 year old could still run, but a 72 year couldn't. Less of a shock than 65, it could be sold on the 75 number.

Or you know we could stop voting for older people on our own, though admittedly that can be difficult in our two party system.

Haha. I was thinking sworn in to office before turning 65, meaning the max age while in office would actually be 68. How about we compromise and modify that to 67, the age of social security collection, so someone could be as old as 70 their last year in office.

Do we have an accord? I can thrown in an actual Honda Accord to sweeten the deal. It's 6 years old and worth (hang on a second, checking KBB)... holy shit - $63,000?!?

If so, neither one of us lives too far from the National Archives. We can print this page and stop by to let the guards know we have an update to the Constitution. I'm guessing we can get some of the parchment paper in the gift shop. I've got a fancy pen around here somewhere.

Deal, we can work with that. See this is how things should be done.

Agreed.

Meh, I'm stuck in this authoritarian country with a fascist dictator anyways.

Don't worry Boebert can free you and get you smuggled you over the border.

For a second I thought I read snuggled and I want no part of that.

Guarantee none of these people would be upset if it was a Chevy, Ford or Dodge plant producing monster trucks that get 10 MPG.

An effort to build an electric truck plant is getting a boost, but also seeing local opposition

A crowd of 80 people packed the room, mostly to oppose the plant.

www.11alive.com

BTW: this is near the proposed location of the plant: 33°36'34.4"N 83°41'58.2"W · I-20, Social Circle, GA 30025
The arguments act like they are super rural. That area yeah is less developed than others but still just as close to Atlanta as the northern overgrown suburbs.

Also it seems that David Perdue is against this for the sole reason Forest Kemp is the one trying to get this done. Have to love those Republican grift to get votes in their primary.

C'mon, she's the hottest member of congress. And she can take you to Red Lobster afterward.

I know she's not a member of Congress, but I'd rather go for some sake with Jen Psaki

I'd look great getting out of that. Especially wearing my monocle and smoking a cigarette with a long holder.

I was actually envisioning this outfit.

I guess his whole strategy for the Senate is, knowing he has a larger penis than all his followers.
