Oh fuck off with the dinosaurs
Wonder how her husbands portfolio has been doing since she left.
Any significant gains? Does he really have that midas touch without her fortunate position.

Well, if you want her to stop being in Congress, you know what to do in the primaries.

We need age limits for politicians. I’d be more than fine with that being 60. But this skeleton is 83; she will be 88 by the time her term is done if she wins again. Nobody near 90 should decide the future of the younger generations

This is kinda the national form of the village elder.
Not American, but would vote Democrat.
What an absolute embarrassment. This is how to fumble your lead with young voters.
Democrats are a very frustrating party to be with. The alternative is 50 years out of date, racists, homophobic assholes, so you're stuck with democrats. So they put up the worst fucking candidates and we're just stuck with them because if we don't vote for them it's voting for some backwards asshole.
Worse is republicans think we love these people. No we fucking don't, get these old people out and get me someone who represents me. They're just the lesser of two evils
There should be age limits in politics. Such as retirement age minus minimum voting age. It would be 67-18 in the US. Make it so you can’t run again after you exceeded the limit.
Skeksis need to retire, not collapse into dust while holding on to the royal scepter.

Democrats and republicans are just looking out for different rich people.
If we ever want this nation to improve, we need to focus on independents. Party lines need to die.
Trump is only 5 years younger, convicted of rape, facing 91 criminal felony charges and is running for re-election.

As a Dem, let me just say, please god no. We need younger people in Congress. It’s time to let go Nancy. I hope she gets primaried. Take Feinstein and Mcconnel with you on your way out.
Boy I was really hoping that headline had a different ending.
Both sides are the same
