It’s unbelievable that the witch Pelosi is actually back and in Congress. 84 and broken hip which wipes out 95% of those who experience it but not the witch. I guess in a way it’s an inspiration for those of that age...

[Williams]

The woman slipped on the stairs and you want to send her to a homeless encampment. Ok.

[No name given]

Obviously.

I was a big Strom Thurmond fan. "Keep your damned federal money, too many strings attached. If tar and chipping roads isn't good enough for you, you're driving too damned fast."

Very sound mind and staff. He did go quick at the end though.

[Williams]

Broken hip does not even remotely “wipe out” 90% of those who experience it.

Hip replacement is common, with a quick recovery and excellent functionality.

[deport]

75 for all Federal jobs. How about start there.

Heck 65 is normal retirement for most jobs except
for many of the elected ones. Mentality is some
thing that should be considered. jmo

The problem isn’t that she’s 80 years old.

The problem is that she has been in the House for 20 years, and a professional politician for at least 30 years.

And that’s nothing compared to the real career politicians.

They age like roadkill in August.

[Dilbert San Diego]

There is a lot of snark and sarcasm and joking on Free Republic.

Some things shouldn’t be joked about, but Freepers do it anyway. I hope she will be ok.

[blackdog]

How do you know she REALLY? broke her hip. She was just abroad getting cosmetic surgery procedures out of the view of American news. The best modern orthopedic procedures known to human-kind, don’t mend weight and joint bones that fast.

Not only do they have elevators, they have some that are only for Congress critters.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

No. Our Congress is full of decrepit old people who should be retired. So is our president at the moment. People who are too old to navigate stairs like Biden, Pelosi and this woman should not hold office.

[bigbob]

Dems were up half the night greasing those stairs, placing banana peels on the GOP hallways, loosening doorknobs, etc.

[kawhill]

Maybe it’s just a flare-up of gout. My left knee has been quite painful lately.

[wally_bert]

Not enough handrails. Handrails everywhere.

[Bonemaker]

It depends on whether they are a democrat or republican.

[griswold3]

God bless,Virginia. Watched her talking to a page during the vote.

[Robe]

“At some point people need to retire.” At what point would that be? Well I HAD to retire as a 40000 commercial pilot By the government (FAA) If 65 is OK for pilots then it's OK for Congresscritters

[Bonemaker]

“Good God! How about just, hope she’s ok.”

I do wish her well...as opposed to Pelosi a couple of weeks ago,

[maddog55]

I could give a shxt.. R or D... They need to be replaced. A totally useless group of idiots.

You only have a say in the State where you vote.
