87-year-old Chuck Grassley battles Tom Cotton, 44, in push-up challenge
NY Post ^ | 30 2021 | Emily Jacobs

Sen. Chuck Grassley, the second oldest member of the Senate, may be your next fitness inspiration.

“So he and I are going to do 22 pushups,” Grassley said, pointing to Cotton, a 44-year-old retired Army captain.

A Politico profile on Grassley published in May, which focused on his political future and his indecision on seeking another term 2022, revealed that the Iowa senator wakes at 4 a.m. each day, often going for a two-mile run.

IIRC Joe the jamoke used to brag about his push-ups?

When will he show his form?

Idiots. DC is filled with blithering idiots. Fiddling while Rome burns.

Yes, effing idiots.

Of course, the less time they spend on legislation, the better. Maybe they can spend a full year in the gym and not show up for “work.”

Grassley turned over everything to Lindsey Graham four years ago.

You can see why these Idiots Love Biden.

Embarrassing

These two are as good as it gets for DC republicans. I don’t think Cotton has retired to the good ole swamp club yet. Grassley’s family was probably set decades ago and he’s so old he might not give a flying. We were totally jobbed by the DS when Grassley lost his Judiciary chair to that snake Graham.

When I was an Infantry Battalion Commander, I was challenged by my Brigade Commander to a push up and sit up contest, with the winner getting a Diet Coke.

Never do this. He cheated. No one will challenge his push ups or sit ups, and most were not done to standard. Next step was to go to the range and duel with pistols. This contest was more fair, and I smoked him. The next step was to go to the National Training Center at Ft. Irwin and take my soldiers and his tactical plans against the NTC OPFOR. We won. He was a Great American and a pure Patriot, but no tactical genius and no born leader.

There should be age limits on the senate, just as on the Supreme Court. The addiction to ‘feeling important’ is the last thing to go, long after age and deterioration has affected every other aspect in their professional lives.
Look at Dianne Feinstein, or maybe don’t look.

Grassley was adamant the Identity of the Deep State “Whistlerblower” be protected at all costs, too.

He’s an Idiot.

I don’t get it. Give me $50 million, and I’m on a tropical beach for life with hot chicks.

How exciting... How about play the fiddle and dance as the nation burns while you’re at it?

When I hit 87, I'll be happy to drive it in 2 hours. And then remember how to get home.
