Another 80 year old who should have been enjoying retirement.

When will this country stop electing the elderly.

"When will this country stop electing the elderly."

I love and respect the elders. There just comes a time when 80-90 year-olds need to step into retirement. Especially Judges, Senators, and House Representatives.

Why do all these people want to die in office???

I acknowledge that President Trump is now 80. I want him to finish his term and peacefully retire.

I'm looking forward to President Vance. Or any Conservative that does not mean dynastic rule. Heh.

I worked in a nursing home for about 6 months in 2014. Going to Capitol Hill would seem very familiar these days.

Having that perceived power, influence and an army of sycophants plus a sycophantic media if you’re a Democrat on top of that must be a stronger drug than crack.

The percent that leave voluntarily is unbelievably small.

I just checked. She's been in office since 1983. She was originally elected when she was 37 years old. There should be mandatory retirement for these idiots when they reach a certain age, or term limits, but Congress critters are too greedy to put any restrictions on their ability to stay in office and get rich off the taxpayers.
