Ron Johnson just said he took 5 hours to read the 46 pages of new interview notes on MSNBC

I wonder who read it to him? Russ I miss you

1. I Thought That All Senators Only Had 1 Hour To Read This Report.....

How did Johnson get 5 hours?

4. They had alternating one hour periods throughout the day, from what I understand. n/t

2. Ha. I had to burst out laughing when the news reported (without breaking out laughing)

that Trump didn't read the 46 pages - but had to have someone summarize it for him. That we have a president who can't read is disqualifying in itself. Don't they make new citizens read something? Maybe Trump can only read numbers.

6. President Obama would have been up until the wee hours of the morning...

going over a report such as this.

7. I think he can read but can't process what he reads.

For instance, he reads from prompters frequently. But I don't think he understands what he reads. I encountered this phenomenon with a woman who had come to the US as a child and had been forced to leave school in Mexico in second grade. She had no further education after being sent to live at age seven with an abusive uncle in the states. She was bright enough to teach herself to read English, but had never made the leap to understanding what she read. Trump isn't from another country but his reasoning ability is close to zero. The way he reads aloud reminded me of this very lovely woman.

8. Interesting. But how'd trump get through college?

Do you think this came on later in life ? I suspect that having mucho money bought him minions who told him everything he needed to know. But even with connections in college..surely he had to write term papers?

[hedda_foil]

9. Nah. If his frat didn't have a file of term papers and test answers he paid some schmuck to do it.

He probably even paid a kid to take his tests for him.

3. He just said Roe won't get overturned but maybe it would be good if it went back to the states

5. That's the initial intent. Give

authority to the states without federal funding. Democrats are going to pick up governorships and legislative positions. But alas, the RWers are cruel SOB's.


Many women and babies are going to die. Back before Roe vs. Wade, the death toll and mangeling was overwhelming.

Well to do people will have the opportunity in sending women to other countries for abortions. Working middle class and poor will not. Healthcare will not cover the abortions.

GOPs just do not care.
