Will he QO? Speaking of Jokers, this one: “Former Minnesota Republican Party chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan is jumping into the race to replace her husband Jim Hagedorn in Congress.“ Cuz of her ‘qualifications’. Oh yeah about that: ‘Carnahan brings some baggage into the race. She resigned under fire as Minnesota GOP chair last August,’ Something about fostering a toxic work environment and accepting donations from a sex trafficker. You know, the things YOU would be doing if your spouse was battling cancer. Probably the pressure of her constant headlines helped put her fat cancerous husband in his grave. But there’s hope! ‘Carnahan joins a crowded field that includes at least eight other Republicans, along with six Democrats and one Legal Marijuana Now Party candidate.’ Found my candidate!

As a American. 1. I gave a 'shocked' face, as it doesn't really trigger any other emotion from me. I am just surprised it happened. 2. Don Young was the current Dean of the U.S House. The man has had the same job since the 70's. 3. Young was planning to run for re-election. Previously stating something to effect of, 'He will run till he loses or dies'. 4. This throws Alaskan politics into a whirlwind, and as someone who follows politics closely, it will be interesting. 5. Despite being 88, he reportedly died randomly on an airplane. No health issues that I've been made aware of. 6. As a sitting Congress member, his death would be notable in any given year. In the currently razor-thin divided House, this may have a major impact. Lastly, just because someone is not mentioned on this site....does not mean they don't have significance. Either from a world-wide perspective, national perspective, or even individual perspective. Stop being an ASS for no reason. You cunt. 18 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I remember seeing a video of him speaking recently and noticing how healthy he seemed, especially in comparison to some other members of Congress around his age.
