So. I'm ignorant of many of the various technologies out there for folks with disabilities. Is that a braille producing teleprompter for lack of a better term?

Thanks, Mark

I don't know, Mark, but that's my assumption.

No one seems to be able to answer me, but yet they keep posting and spreading this meme.

Memes are emotion-driven, and their factual accuracy isn't particularly important. Good ones have more fact in them, but still . . . What do you expect from a sound bite that is ten words or less and a picture? It "seems" true to them, and that is all they care about. And yes, the left can't meme.

You guys are correct of course. My frustration comes from a good friend of mine who is a Dean at a college in West Georgia. He actually made the meme his profile image in facebook. I can accept that he is a liberal and Biden is his guy, but Damn this is just bad logic. I only hope I am not so blind . .

Academicians do not live in the real world. I have the same problem in my profession. At one time I considered the academic life however briefly.

It’s a Braille reader. More or less a mechanical Kindle type thing. A buddy of mine in college dated a girl who was born blind and she had one of those with Microsoft Jaws built in, so she could “speak” through the device as well as “read” from it.

What a piece of fecal matter.

And such obvious grasping pathetic sanctimonious bull shit.

Go fuck yourself Chuckles.

Should follow immediately with vote on ACB, since they will have quorum of commies present ...

^^ I like it, but will a quorum actually show up for a vote that Chuckles knows he'll lose and is forcing (if he can actually force a vote) for nothing more than symbolic purposes?

will a quorum actually show up

I haven't seen this discussed much in the last week or so.

I don't know for sure but speculate the 'full Senate' quorum rules apply (51 members) on such a vote. If that's what it takes to preserve the imminent ACB vote, I wonder just what they'll do to hasten the projected vote. And I wonder just what advantage UpChuck would force such a hand.

Mitch needs to just push ACB through right after that vote. Screw it.

Here's Day 2 cued up to her statement. C-Span youtube (probably a 5-second ad first):

Sen. Klobuchar spends a lot of time smiling through her statements and accusations. A smile is the most common facial feature of one trying to hide a lie. Klobuchar strikes me as a grasping petty individual who would stifle rights under the guise of improving the lot of those under her.

Maggot Chucky is going nowhere with his theatrics.

Klobuchar is still mad that she was not chosen as the VP and barring that she really wanted to replace RGB in a Biden admin. She is in politics for herself and no one else. Her little speech during the confirmation hearings proved it.

She is angry, and that makes me smile.

A panel should be added to that meme that shows Justice Sandra Day O’Connor holding the door for RBG.

Got'cha. I never considered that. Klobuchar's extreme jealousy, and envy, and belief in her superiority definitely taint her already-odious attitude. And you know what else? She's embarrassed at her shortcomings.

Here is Klobuchar's "I thought someday I'd be in that chair" comment:

^^ Nope. Cruz is the next Senator up for a seat on the SCOTUS.
