Well, just cover it up for four years. No biggie.

We all know how poorly members of Congress behave and represent the American people, but now lawmakers are dropping damning information allegedly revealing how dire the situation on Capitol Hill really is.
As TGP readers know, several members have shown multiple signs of cognitive decline, and there are two glaring examples that immediately come to mind. The first is late California Senator Dianne Feinstein.
Feinstein held onto office despite being so diminished mentally that she had no choice but to give up power of attorney to her daughter as the New York Post notes. Then, in December 2024, Texas GOP representative Kay Granger was found in a dementia care home last year after going missing from Congress for six months.
This is on top of the numerous falls we have seen from other elderly politicians like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) told Politico that up to a dozen of his colleagues are in advanced stages of cognitive decline and have no clue what they are voting on.
“There’s no question that somewhere between six and a dozen of my colleagues are at a point where they’re… I think they don’t have the faculties to do their job,” he revealed.
A Republican lawmaker who withheld his name agreed with Himes that dementia on the Hill was a problem and added this:

My issue during the Kay Granger issue was that the staff was responsible for defrauding the people in her district.
Congressional staff of these dementia Congress-critters need to be held accountable.
While I'm not to sure how our new crop of young leaders will hold out over the longer run, I can tell you that so far they have been stellar:
Vance, Gabbard and Hegseth in that order.
Vance & Gabbard in 2028!
Flashback to 2017:
How about cognitive testing? Didn’t Trump take one while President the first time?
(How about cognitive testing? Didn’t Trump take one while President the first time?)
He did.
Meaning that their staff are telling them how to vote - like Biden's staff being in charge of policy. Probably doing other things as well, like releasing public statements in their name.
Vance & Gabbard
That is a far better ticket than the DNC can put together right now.
Add random drug and tox screens for every member of the Congress and Senate. Fail once and you’re gone.
That’s exactly what has been going on.
This is cover for people who have been stealing to not run again.
no. term limits would term out possible young and good ones, yes there is likely some of them.
I agree with drug testing RX and recreational abuses, also cognitive tests.
Really should start with a Constitutional test, since most don’t seem to even know what they are supposed to be doing/following.
Pelosi is opening a liquor store in the House where Members can buy alcohol with their taxpayer-funded MRAs.
Does anyone know if the House liquor store that Nancy Pelosi opened is still operating ?
Hello Elon, Yes Capitol Hill Liquor Store that’s right ! Thank You
A dozen of his colleagues are in advanced stages of cognitive decline.
So does the voters that keep electing them.
