Family Makes Tough Decision To Put Aging Grandpa In US Senate
Babylon Bee ^ | November 2023 | Staff

Posted on 11/05/2023 6:18:17 AM PST by Twotone

It's something millions of Americans will wrestle with at some point in their lives. Parents and grandparents get older and eventually, the family has to make a tough call. Is grandpa safe to live on his own, or is it best if he's around people his own age in the United States Senate?

He’d have a lot of company in the Senate-——

Although there’s not much conversation among the old folks......
there’s lots of laughs watching Biden trip over himself.

And dont forget the benefits and perks.

Lots of folks use the Senate as their nursing home...

Pelosi (House)
Leahy
McConnell
Byrd
Thurmond
Feinstein

I’ll bet the current list approaches 30.

Neither do Byrd or Thurmond. It’s a list of those who have had the very best taxpayer funded geriatric care.

Remember when the ailing gerontocracy of the Soviet Politburo was the butt of jokes and a symptom of the system’s overall decrepitude and sign of its impending collapse?

And those were men in their seventies. Aged somewhat prematurely by poor habits, to be sure, but on the whole younger than the gerontocrats in the White House and Senate.

Will history look back on Biden and the Senate now as it does on Brezhnev/Andropov/Chernenko and the Politburo?

The press covers for Biden, like TASS covered for the stroked-out Brezhnev.

And you don’t even have
1:22
to serve out the full
1:23
six year term.
1:25
I mean, in four years,
1:28
you’ll be 96.
1:29
You could run for president!
1:31
I understand your concern, but
1:34
I’m fine.
1:35
Really, I’m...
1:38
Grandpa.
1:39
Grandpa, are you okay?
1:41
Yes.
1:42
He’s just McConnelling again.
1:44
I just, I never know what to do.
1:46
You just have to wait it out.
1:47
He’s going to,
1:47
he’s going to come back any second.
1:49
What? What?
