Discussion: Hatch Walks Back Remarks On Hush Payments: Those Comments Were 'Irresponsible'

The Mormons are no better or worse than all the Porn Again Christians who believe St. BLOTUS was sent to them by god to lead us from Obama et al.

This is just one of many reasons I detest organized religion.

This AP story has a very brief summary of the role that Hatch played in the lynching of Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas hearings.

Once an asshole always an asshole. No need to invoke dementia or age to explain his behavior.

Well the Mormons haven’t let the laws of the United States stand in their way much either until they were forced to abide by them and a whole bunch of them still don’t.

I believe we do need age limits. Never thought I would say that but the older I get the more I realize age limits are needed. Hatch has just about destroyed a decent legacy in the Senate. I would think 76-78 as the cut off. Any other opinions?

That works for me. It needs to be addressed since we’re living longer but not staying young any longer. And frankly until they get that worked out I’d just as soon not live into my 90s.

Yeah. How do you justify (i.e. please cite supporting evidence) any implication that there was ever a “decent legacy” for Hatch to defend?

Well, he is a Republican so the bar is low. :wink:

There are a lot of Mormons who really don’t like Trump.

As a good friend of mine points out, they have all kinds of ways to help us live longer, they just keep adding the years to the wrong end…

That’s the problem! If they could just figure that out I’d be so happy to live a hundred years. I do not find that a thrilling prospect however, given that I will just be old and it isn’t a lot of fun. It hurts for one thing. hahaha

Sleazy Orrin plagiarized Melaria’s fashion choices with his “I don’t care” one liner.

Need to be careful with life expectancy calculations- changes at the ends have an outsize influence on the mean.

In the 1790s, e.g. , the mortality rate for children under 5 was horrific. If you calculated the life expectancy for 40 year old (rich) men (won’t starve if they can’t work,too old to be drafted, not at risk of dying in childbirth) it might well be 80

Yup, they can’t have thought ‘this will never happen’ with an 81-year-old Franklin hosting the Convention as President of Pennsylvania.

Hatch is 4th in the line of succession for POTUS. It sounds like they would have to lead him by the hand to the WH so he wouldn’t get lost on the way.
