I had no idea that the Senate is a full senior care facility...no wonder the Senate dinosaurs stick around.  I suspect that Congress has a full senior facility as well.  :shrug:

All these old f*ucks hang on to their stupid 'office' until death.



It literally takes death himself to show up and to rip them out of there.
Apparently they do not comprehend the finality of it. Nobody in history has ever said as their last words: "I wish I had spent more time at work ..."

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Needs to be mandatory at 80.  These people are propped up by their abusers until they collapse in public view, and that’s all anyone remembers.  It is so undignified.

These people put their egos ahead of the people they are actually supposed to serve.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Mitch, it's time to hand the reins to a spry 70-something youth.

Chuck Grassley is 91, and he's sharp as a tack. The clearly impaired, like Pelosi and McConnell, definitely need to go.

That will include Trump.

Term limits: 12 years, maximum. Two Senate terms or six House terms. That's my proposal.
Of course, then you have the problem of people running for Senate after their 12 years in the House, but we need to start somewhere.

He's 78 and is the oldest president-elect in history.  With his energy it's really hard to believe he's that old. He goes non-stop and has quite a rigorous schedule. 

I propose that you cannot run for office after the age of 80, but would be allowed to finish out your term once you turn 80.

Then there's the issue of cognitive ability -- some people can maintain, other's can't.  Mitch, Nancy, and Joe all have displayed a decline; especially in Joe's case.  IMHO Congress needs to do the country a favor and mandate that they step down.  Falling down stairs, unable to speak coherently or forget their whereabouts is indicative of needing to retire.

I think a lot depends on how many brain cells you voluntarily killed off while kissing ass/getting your ass kissed at cocktail parties and other soirees.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Now cut that out.  Remember, if it were not for McConnell playing hard-ball on judiciary appointments we'd be living in a world with Supreme Court Justice Merrick Garland.  He was bad enough as AG.  However many issues he went soft on on gave the 'Rats more of what they wanted than another GOP Senate Leader (whether in the majority or minority) would have, that one act should count as repentance for all of them and endear him to every American conservative.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Once they start falling, the falling only becomes more frequent and causes greater injury.

Moscow Mitch would do well to avoid stairs, steps, and those spots where the bare floor ends and the carpet begins.

No worries the Senate has their own senior care facility as referenced in the 3rd post of this thread.   pointing-up

Maybe he needs some PT. What happened to Harry Reid's exercise machine?

Locked in an evidence cage.  Biden needs to pardon it and transfer it to Mitch;s senate office.
