Trump is only 5 years younger, convicted of rape, facing 91 criminal felony charges and is running for re-election.
No, he was not. You are spreading misinformation. He was found to liable for rape. A conviction is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, liable is more likely than not guilty. This is not pedantic, this is the difference between decades in jail and not.
Fuck this horrible bitch. She fucking enriches herself via a marriage of her position and decision making with the stock market.
Fucking disgusting, no fucking politician that votes on policy should be allowed to trade stocks.
GET THE FUCK OUT AND STAY OUT YOU GERIATRIC FUCKING CORRUPT TRAITOR
Nothing to do with Trumper, he’s right. Just like Trump should go to prison along with anyone who helped him on Jan 6
You agree with this crap that person posted? --> (GET THE FUCK OUT AND STAY OUT YOU GERIATRIC FUCKING CORRUPT TRAITOR) NO. He/she/they are NOT right.
You’re what’s wrong with politics these days. You don’t have to be fully locked in to one side you know?
If the money and perks are good, why not??
Yeah, cut congressional salaries to $10k a year and see how long the old folks stick around. Eliminates career politicians, too.
Then the only people who can actually be congresspeople will be the ones who are already rich. Public service should pay enough that those who work in government shouldn’t need a second source of income to provide for their families. Paying politicians $10k a year will only incentivize them to accept bribes from lobbyist and corporations, leading to career politicians.
Unlike today where they get paid so much they don’t accept bribes from lobbyists and corporations, leading to career politicians.
These old career politicians don’t become millionaires from their federal salaries.they have PACs and get paid to be guest speakers. After they quit, they get paid millions a year to be consultants or some bullshit title VP where they only meet once a year to justify “working”.
Manchin has a yatch and he’s from one of the poorest states. Boats in general are a huge money sink and this asshole has a boat with enough square footage to be a regular house, 1500.
Whenever I think of West Virginia I think of rundown early 20th century homes and barefoot kids in overalls. I know it’s a stereotype, but check out that video. It’s so sad that they fight so hard for the coal mines that killed 3 generations because it’s the only steady income in the area.
I don’t condone killing politicians, but I do think tar and feathering should become fashionable again. If you’re too old to outrun your constituents or survive your chickening, you’re to old to represent them.
Her net worth is like $100 million, I really doubt she seeks reelection for the money.
If they made $0 for the rest of their lives they’d still be rich by natural death.
This is a high score run, nothing more.
We do legitimately have a gerontocracy problem and this doesn’t help, but at the same time as long as she’s capable of doing the job I can’t in good conscience object either. The beauty of our system of government is anyone can run. You don’t like her, run against her or STFU and quit screaming at the clouds.

You act like primaries are fair…
Even the DNC stopped doing that years ago, why do you still believe it?
The Court continued, “For their part, the DNC and Wasserman Schultz have characterized the DNC charter’s promise of ‘impartiality and evenhandedness’ as a mere political promise—political rhetoric that is not enforceable in federal courts. The Court does not accept this trivialization of the DNC’s governing principles. While it may be true in the abstract that the DNC has the right to have its delegates ‘go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way,’ the DNC, through its charter, has committed itself to a higher principle.”

I’m not saying the DNC isn’t biased. But it looks like that was a legal arguments made by lawyers. Generally, they make every argument they can fit into their brief.
Shahid Buttar was a very good candidate running against Pelosi. DNC wasn’t happy and the idiot Dem voters from the District just fell in line behind the incumbent as both party’s voters tend to do. It’s just a fucked up, dysfunctional system we have going here.
No, no. You see buttery emails and stuff, they never deliberately worked against Bernie to ensure Clinton won. Totally it was all the people voting.
True, anyone can technically run. But in practice, a fresh-faced new candidate going up against a well-funded incumbent will very very rarely win. The few times it has happened the incumbent either didn’t take the threat seriously (AOC), or the incumbent was involved in a big scandal.
For your well-intentioned version of America to exist in reality, we’d need to do a few things: overturn Citizens United, require that all elections be fully publicly funded, ban private political donations, and stop letting elected officials draw their own maps. Until then, the gerontocracy will go on.
You give me a dozen reasons why can’t win. Maybe your the wrong person for the job.
Someday I’ll tell you the story of 7 of 11 and Obama.
Both sides are the same
