Flying to DC today, on the same flight as...

[Chewback]

Ask him who in Congress is taking dementia meds...because at least a handful of people are.

Yeah but Chuck's probably one of them so he might just give you a blank look.

 

[mnole03]

Register many of the above complaints

But thank him for trying to hold the Pentagon accountable for their spending. He deserves credit for that. Most Republicans pretend that government waste doesn't extend to the military.

What he would tell you is go go out and buy a thousand acres at 8K - 10K/acre, several million dollars in equipment and you too can get a few cents/ bushel thrown your way....

That seems like a terrific way to go broke and file for bankruptcy.

 

[SalAunese]

Let’s not kid ourselves here, Chuck’s probably sharper than any of us participating in this thread now. Even at his advanced age.

 

[MitchL]

Ask him if he's able to punch himself in the face. If he says, yes, ask if you can You Tube it.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

He probably has forgotten more than Abby Finkenauer will ever know. I wouldn't argue that point...

Do you think this is why his staff shields him so vigorously from interacting with random Iowans, and keeps up the 99 county lie?

Fixed it for you.

She's a 40 watt bulb in an LED world. But Hey! Her dad was a union member!

Speak for yourself. You know yourself best.

 

[SalAunese]

Speak for yourself. You know yourself best.

Well, it’s pretty clear the demands of his job require a lot more complex thinking than any of ours. He may be old and we may not agree with all of his politics but knowing the background of a few of you and myself, none of us are in a position to promote ageism. Dementia isn’t a laughing matter nor should it be so callously assigned to people.

Just say, "woman". Republicans ran a corrupt bum who hadn't visited his district and held an open meeting since his first term. Dems ran a bright young woman with a tremendous work ethic.

So he can't make a living without government providing him income. Got it!

I assume that since you were in construction, that perhaps you were involved in projects which was funded by taxpayer dollars instead of the actual people who profited from those projects. What's it like to rely on government assistance?
