She’s not a real voting member of Congress, more like Snapper Carr or Wendy and Marvin to DC Superheroes.

Time is the undisputed champion. There needs to be a mandatory retirement age for Congress.

If she has no clue where she is then someone else is so wouldn’t that be abusing an elder

If only Rush was still here, he would be able to resurrect Operation Chaos to get her through the primary. She has been worthless for decades. Let’s rub their noses in it by getting her reelected.

DC cops can’t enforce the law, but get to diagnose dementia?

She was duped out of $4,000 at the same time she was duping the American taxpayers out of $174,000 a year !

Electing a politician is like electing a Christmas tree. It’s all the ornaments that come with it that bring the problems.

The Founders assumed that members of Congress would serve a term or two, then go back to their farms. Regular elections would provide turnover.

The Founders sure were wrong about that.

“caretaker”

They apparently meant “caregiver”, didn’t they?

“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC) 88 years old, Black Woman, suffers early stages of dementia,”

That puts way ahead of the vast majority of other democrats.

After biden, I guess nobody is too compromised mentally to hold office.

“She has been worthless for decades.”

Just like DC voters.

We really need a "two and out" amendment.

They did their best by sticking it in fever infested swamp.

But then quinine came along and that smart alec Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and that put an end to that.

Yep. They should have written it in that way with term limits. Of course, it would have been turned over by now, anyway.

Only death can pry a democrat out of a house seat.
