Senate a retirement home

Hell

seems like all the bad ones live for almost forever

Look up Juan Ponce Enrile. Need to find the dude's Horcrux.

If you have a job, and can no longer do your job, letting your team down, then you should quit.

She’s taken her spot on council of the lizard people now - no rest, even in death.

When asked for his reaction, Senator McConnell was lost for words.

Another knockout punch from @purr1n.

Immortality is a perk of the job. That's why they won't give it up. Retirement is death.

OMG Feinstein passed away. My comment was insensitive. RIP.

All these people who are well-beyond retirement age but still cling to their power. All due respect to my older friends but we need age limits. Feinstein, McConnell, Biden, Trump.. none of them should be running for national public office at their ages.

To be fair all, of our parties leadership in Canada are much younger. It is debateable whether it helps. I would not pin your hopes on it.

We've been blessed with wonderful old senators (McCain, Carl Levin, Moynihan, Romney et al.). We should not be ruling out the most-experienced, best-qualified candidates with age-limits or term-limits. We need to find other solutions—ranked-choice primaries would be a start. I'm mildly concerned about the likely 2020 candidates ages; but see https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/09/something-is-going-to-break/
