Sep 2023

She's 83, will be 84 when she runs, and will turn 85 three months after being sworn in in January 2025.

To paraphrase Nikki Haley: "Congress has become the most privileged nursing home in the country."

This comes at a time both Party's are being looked at like they were caricatures of the 1970's Politburo. As if McConnell's, Grassley's, and Feinstein's recent delusions were not enough of a warning - it IS an issue. Then top that off that the Reich-wing will be screaming about the age of Biden, with the D's countering with the age of the bloated orange gasbag!

This is just giving the Reich another issue to use as a club. As much as I believe she was the greatest Speaker of the House since the founding of the Republic - time's up.
