I keep saying, if I'm forced to retire from the military by a certain age, usually 64; then politicians should be forced to do the same. But I'll concede at age 69 cause it makes me giggle.

there needs to be an age limit like how they force us to retire at 65 in most jobs. Time to force politicians by like 75 at most (which is already VERY generous)

We had active members of Congress previously diagnosed with dementia. We just found a missing Texas congresswoman, who hadn't voted since last July, IN AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY! America is so cooked.

People clinging on to power with the same dishonest policies that people hate.
