Disgusting that ignorant Democrat voters saddle our government with geriatric Leftists such as Conyers and Pelosi. This awful situation was the reason the Founders wanted the USA to be a republic, not a democracy.

What Pelosedated snottily uttered on Meet The Depressed should be repurposed and packaged into a 527 ad for the midterms, starting now:

“Just because [@RepJohnConyers] is accused - and was it one accusation? Is it two?”

“I do not know who they are. Do you? They have not really come forward.”

When a Congesscritter says the behavior of one of their own is “unacceptable”, I know it will be excused.

John Conyers’ Disorientation and Nancy Pelosi’s Strategic Obliviousness

by JIM GERAGHTY November 27, 2017
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/454063/john-conyers-disorientation-and-nancy-pelosis-strategic-obliviousness

The first Morning Jolt of the week features Senator Al Franken’s implausible claim that he’s a victim of a witch hunt against hugs, a discussion of that big New York Times profile of a white nationalist and how it revealed more than the editors thought, and revelations about Congressman John Conyers’ disorientation and Nancy Pelosi’s strategic obliviousness:

Congressman John Conyers should have been removed from office a long time ago, for his own good: He has already handed over much of the day-to-day committee work to staff aides and other Democratic members in recent years, and has often appeared disoriented.

In at least two separate occasions — once at a United Automobile Workers event in Michigan and once at a meeting of top Democrats on Capitol Hill — Mr. Conyers showed up wearing pajamas, according to two people familiar with the incidents. A spokeswoman for Mr. Conyers said she had “no knowledge this ever occurred.”

When members of Congress are exhibiting signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s, and no one around them takes steps to ease them out of governing responsibilities… stop asking why Americans don’t have more faith in their leaders! Our old colleague Tim Alberta observed last week, “John Conyers has not been all there, mentally, for some time. Every top Dem in MI and DC knows that.”

You wouldn’t let your grandpa operate heavy machinery if he started wandering around in his pajamas. Why did Democrats allow Conyers to keep operating as ranking member of the Judiciary Committee all this time? Forget stepping down as ranking member on the committee; he does not belong in Congress, for his own good.

How the hell does Nancy Pelosi not know that the guy set to run the Judiciary Committee is wandering the halls of Congress in his pajamas? How does she not do something about that?

Yesterday morning, Meet the Press host Chuck Todd asked Pelosi, “Do you believe John Conyers’ accusers?” She responded, “I don’t know who they are. Do you? They have not really come forward.”

As Perry Bacon of FiveThirtyEight.com observed, “Seriously? One of them talked to the Washington Post. Another filed a lawsuit against Conyers. A third reached a settlement with him.”

Back in 2012, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, then chair of the Democratic National Committee, had a simple solution for dealing with the question and moral complications of President Obama’s “kill list” for drone strikes: She simply didn’t read about it and acted like it didn’t exist, telling reporters, “I have no idea what you’re talking about” — even though it had been reported upon, in detail, on the front page of the New York Times. The easiest way to deal with difficult or inconvenient information is to simply never encounter or acknowledge it.

Maybe she was on him before she was off him.

We have to read the indictment to know what’s in it.

Freeper's we are we missing an opportunity here....

We have 2 highly qualified African Americans running in the Republican Primary to unseat Debbie Stabenow in the Senate, Judge Bob Young and Businessman and Veteran John James....

Can we convince one of these two fine gentlemen to run in Conyer's District aka the Michigan 13th? Either Conyer's steps down or the DNC is probably scrambling for a replacement, my guess is he isn't all their upstairs, they got to do something and fast. So why not get a decent "R" on the ballot and fight for this seat....

People always speak the truth the first time, the backtrack is almost always a lie.
