This is what happens when the party of “diversity” and “inclusion” is led by geriatric caucasians.

82 years old. First elected to the Senate in 1975. Something seriously wrong with our system when it allows these people to be in this position for this long.

Start the death countdown clock on Leaky.

Maybe they can get two Communists in the Senate from Vermont.

Wouldn’t that be cool?

Formerly, the rule was 6 months or so

It is my understanding that advances in treatment may have negated that rule

This really is significant for Schumer - they still want to try and pass BBB light. He needs every vote. My mother never recovered after breaking hip …

As a Senator, you know he’s getting the best pharmaceuticals.
