Y’all, Mitch McConnell fell at home in Kentucky yesterday and broke his shoulder. Now he doesn’t even have a shoulder for the victims to cry on.
I did not know until this very day that getting hit by lightning could break your shoulder.
Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Seems extreme to avoid calling congress into session.
1Are you sure this isn’t a ploy to avoid reconvening the Senate for a vote on (oh, horrors!) GUN CONTROL?
2Isn’t it great that #MoscowMitch has taxpayer funded Federal Health Care?
3Right or left? Under the right circumstances I could be willing to shake Old Scratch’s hand.
4This shouldn’t keep him from voting on restrictive Gun legislation.
Yeah, right, it would be more likely if the NRA goes bankrupt (fiscally)…
5Thoughts and prayers.
6As much as I hate everything this man stands for, I wish him a comfortable and speedy recovery. As someone getting up in years, a fall is the thing I fear most. So, as a preemptive strike on karma, all I can say is, “get well soon.”
7@Malarkey: +1
@Moscow Mitch: thoughts and prayers.
8ChefJoe @ 3,
That sounds like a great phrase for a roadside bill board in KY “#MoscowMitch has great taxpayer funded health care. Why don’t taxpayers have the same?”
Malarkey @ 6,
May #MoscowMitch live in interesting times.
9They say the Lord acts in mysterious ways.
10Yeah, ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ Mitch; that the next time it’s a hip [y’all known how that often works out with old f—-olks, yeah ‘folks’.

Meanwhile, the DJIA is down 800 points, -all- global market indices are down 1.6-5%. Major market cratering in progress worldwide. Crude down, gold up.
I was wondering last week with RAT45’s slapping more tariffs on China if “they” were setting things up for a shortselling killing, guess so.
“They” being the tRump crime family, Ross, Mnuchin, etc [when there is no transparency, disclosure, legally-required divestiture, etc., WTF do you expect?].

11[Not my bon mot, but one of my student’s about Massacre Mitch’s shoulder]: So at last McConnell has brought something to the floor?
12Yeow, DJIA almost 900 points off, the other US indices are worse; all nearing 4% down and falling. Crude down near $1 [@~$54 now, was ~$66 a few weeks ago].
Farm commodity futures falling into a crevasse. Make sure all those ag peeps who vote ‘R’ keep hanging on to SOBOTUS’ ass, all the way to oblivion.
This could trigger something like the Cheney-Bush Meltdown. Or maybe it’s just another Trumpian staged diversion…
13Was it Trump, Putin, Koch Bros. etc. or the NRA that sent the goon over with a little ‘persuasion’ reminder about who pays his bills?
14A shoulder? So close to his neck, and yet so far.
As for the Dow Jones yo-yo, any of y’all seen “The Hudsucker Proxy”?
15Buttermilk Sky @ 15,
Not close enough…not close enough.
16Wow.
17I just read a Daily Kos diary about what Mitch is facing in his foreseeable future. In detail. I recommend it.
So many consequences wrapped up in the words, “fractured shoulder.”

looks a bit too convenient to me. now the poor old turtletwit
18won’t be able to attend those constituent meetings and be booed off the floor…..
twocrows, That’s…uh…errrm…absolutely delightful reading ;] .
19Sounds excruciating, actually worse than a hip fracture, for a 77y/o SOB…
IOWs, MoscowMitch is in all likelihood, gone; real soon, one way or another. Yeehaa.
Wellll from bio class, the reptile metabolism is quite slow. He’ll heal pretty slowly. So with mcturtle being so old, this injury may be the end of him. Certainly gives the voters of KY something to think about. Assuming he does not retire.
20And by pure coincidence, their other senator, Paul Rand, is recovering from lung surgery this past weekend. KY jelly?
21How bad is his replacement?
22Think ahead!
