I want to see a lot of convictions overturned for Brady violations.

No chance.

Probably fell on his head, thus, no risks and no possible damage…

}}} I think he should resign, but I’m sure he won’t.

Should have resigned before he won his first election, but that’s a moot point. 😛

}}} (not sleeping pills though)

The primary chemical in most OTC sleeping pills is benadryl. Benadryl has been around since the 60s (I got it as an antihistamine back then, as a child). And it has been noted that it has fewer side effect than aspirin, so, you might check to see if it is better for you than your prescription, if it works for you (I’ve seen people claim it doesn’t but there is a very important reason for its “don’t operate machinery” warning.

In general, you only want to take it if you want to sleep for more than 4h, as that is the general limit it has on drowsiness.

There have been a number of recent studies (over the past ?five years or so) showing a strong correlation between sedative hypnotics, as well as benzodiazepam use and cognititve impairment/dementia in “seniors.”

You can dismiss them as not causal–which they may not be — but a prudent person interested in retaining their ability to live independently long term will not use these drugs, or use them only sparingly.
And from my experience, that becomes a major goal as time goes by.

(And tracking THOSE people might be the way to answer the chicken or the egg question—people in their 60s say, with sleep initiation issues who chose to not use drugs. What is their incidence of demntia in ten years??)

Joseph Biden was granted a I-Y for asthma, Donald Trump for bone spurs. Per partisan Democrats, the one isn’t a problem, the other is just the most contemptible thing ever because reasons.

People classified I-Y were sent to the back of the queue and could be recalled if the military’s demand for manpower exceeded a certain threshold. IIRC, one could be summoned for another physical in as little as 90 days. Donald Trump was left in peace by Selective Service for 18 months, at the end of which time the draft lottery was instituted. Both he and brother Robert received lottery numbers high enough to preclude their being summoned for a physical.

About 12% of each cohort received a I-Y deferment in that era. About 12% received a categorical disqualification (IV-F).

Synopsis: Senators don’t actually do much anyway.
