WFB:
Democrats appear to have another Joe Biden situation on their hands.
Eleanor Holmes Norton, 88, has represented Washington, D.C., as a nonvoting member of the U.S. House of Representatives since the George H.W. Bush administration. She has repeatedly described herself as the city’s “warrior on the Hill.” If Norton were physically and mentally able, she would be leading her party’s opposition to Donald Trump’s anti-crime crackdown in the nation’s capital. Alas, she is nowhere to be found.
Politico reports that Norton has been conspicuously absent from the raging public debate over Trump’s decision to send in National Guard troops to restore order in the crime-plagued capital. She hasn’t appeared in public or given any interviews since Monday, when her office issued a press release denouncing the “historic assault” on the district and demanding passage of her misguided D.C. statehood bill. Her name did not appear on a joint statement from her Democratic colleagues whose districts border the capital. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) said he hasn’t spoken to Norton, and her office denied Politico‘s request for an interview. MORE
Maybe she is on the Trump Freedom Train.
How about that.
Vanilla pudding? Interesting.
(Long, pointless, boring story of why not included) I met EHN a few times several decades ago, before she was anointed with delegatehood. She displayed all the intellectual/cognitive depth of a tortoise on Adderall.

Forget that old prune. What’s up with DC’s “shadow Senators, Paul Strauss and—checks notes—Ankit Jain? Gentlemen, what is you’d say you do here? Especially you SeNaToR Strauss. You’ve been collecting a shadow paycheck since 1997. Gentlemen, get off your asses and do your job…whatever that may be.
Just heard the New Orleans Mayor got busted for Bodygaurd fraud.
Whats it all about?
DC has always been notoriously loyal to it’s black felons. Remember Marion Berry who was taped smoking crack with a hooker? “The bitch set me up!” he was tried, convicted and went to jail. As soon as he got out they enthusiastically voted him back in as mayor. That’s why so many of them are crooked. Their voters don’t care because they’d do the same thing if they had the chance.
Non-voting, anyway. So, who cares?
What the hell is a Non-voting congressional delegate, anyway? If this is a paid position (and I am sure it is) why???
