Oh fuck off with the dinosaurs
Wonder how her husbands portfolio has been doing since she left.
Any significant gains? Does he really have that midas touch without her fortunate position.

We need age limits for politicians. I’d be more than fine with that being 60. But this skeleton is 83; she will be 88 by the time her term is done if she wins again. Nobody near 90 should decide the future of the younger generations

Trump is only 5 years younger, convicted of rape, facing 91 criminal felony charges and is running for re-election.
Instead of being anti red or anti blue how about you be anti fuckwit?

Well, if you want her to stop being in Congress, you know what to do in the primaries.
I'd vote against Pelosi in the primaries for the same reason I'd vote against Biden or Trump or McConnell or Feinstein in the primaries. They're all too fucking old. The average age of the Senate is 64 years. The average age of the House of Representatives is 57 years.
Here's every senator or congressperson age 68 or older.

This is kinda the national form of the village elder.
Democrats and republicans are just looking out for different rich people.
If we ever want this nation to improve, we need to focus on independents. Party lines need to die.
There should be age limits in politics. Such as retirement age minus minimum voting age. It would be 67-18 in the US. Make it so you can’t run again after you exceeded the limit.
Not American, but would vote Democrat.
What an absolute embarrassment. This is how to fumble your lead with young voters.

Boy I was really hoping that headline had a different ending.
As a Dem, let me just say, please god no. We need younger people in Congress. It’s time to let go Nancy. I hope she gets primaried. Take Feinstein and Mcconnel with you on your way out.
Skeksis need to retire, not collapse into dust while holding on to the royal scepter.

"Wait, no! I'm still running for Senate in 2032! I just switched to the Zombie Party!"
