The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate on September 14 after a three-month absence, arriving in a wheelchair and speaking slowly with some difficulty. He had missed 60 consecutive roll-call votes after a June fall left him briefly unconscious and required treatment for pneumonia and weeks of rehabilitation.

Since his return, video has circulated of colleagues appearing to guide him on how to vote on the Senate floor. He holds a Senate seat until January 2027 with no competency requirement to serve.

The Republicans have McConnell [R-KY].
The Democrats have Fetterman [D-PA]. BUT !

Fetterman doesn't look as much like a bathtub as the distinguished senior senator from Kentucky.

Which of these Republican accomplishments do you think best justifies voting Republican this November?

You may be obscuring the point here S2.
I'm not sure the intended message is that it is so.
Seems to me the message here is that Fmr CIA Director John Brennan worked for six presidents, and was a loyal servant of the whole People.
That's an indication Brennan wouldn't sink to simple partisan insult. Instead the former CIA director's comment can be regarded as truthful, even if also unsupportive of the current administration.

Brennan may be choosing a side in the partisan mud-slinging Trump has catalyzed on Capitol Hill. BUT !
While we have all witnessed partisan bias prevailing over integrity, accuracy, honesty, Brennan seems to be applying a more respectable standard.
It may be difficult for some to recognize. It's refreshing. Let us hope it is not too little too late.
 
Insecure or just a sociopath? Inquiring minds want to know.

Fact-checking Trump’s recounting of his 9/11 response

Fact-checking President Trump’s recent recounting of his response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
www.kcra.com www.kcra.com

From the article

The New York Times, citing unnamed sources, reported that Trump’s decision to skip the New York event was, in part, because he was not allowed to deliver a speech. The 9/11 Memorial and Museum has barred politicians from speaking at the site since 2012. Trump disputed the reporting and insulted Times reporter Maggie Haberman in a Truth Social post. “This is more Corrupt News, I’ve been to New York many times over the years, and no one ever speaks, it’s a ‘solemn ceremony!’” Trump wrote, adding, “I would love not to speak, because I’m speaking all the time, and this is a day to remember the victims, and their beautiful family members.”
