    Pelosi is going to try something in 2026? Sorry for being rude, but very few old people preserve sanity at that age, let alone intelligence.

      I don’t think it’s mean. There’s a reason we have a federal retirement age, and I think it’s stupid that we don’t apply it to elected and appointed officials.

        Yeah, so that employers can’t force people to work beyond that age.

    Cool. I wonder which member of the Puppet Party will win that primary to go on to automatically lose in the general election?

      He can win the primary, but the DNC would still put forward Pelosi for, uh, reasons.

        It doesn’t matter who wins or loses a Democratic primary anymore. They are not a real political party anymore. The U.S. is a one-party state now.

        And anyone who doesn’t believe that, explain to me why the Republicans would willingly give up any of the three branches of government they now control.
