A top House Democrat is stepping down from a key committee post and not running for reelection months after beating out socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) for his current position.

Representative Gerry Connolly (D., Va.), 75, announced Monday he is stepping down as ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, a high-profile congressional panel, and ending his decades-long political career.

Worthless shitstains.

I didn't used to hate old people, but I'm learning to.

I really don't get these people, we're like a knife's edge close to anyone who opposes Trump getting rounded up and killed, and these people seem to think they're not on the list? Like.. They're not even in the Republican party, they absolutely will be on the list. Just seems to be playing with fire thinking these people will be left alone after they've enabled him to fully take over the country.

they absolutely will be on the list.

The list has been sorted ascending by wealth. They are too far down the list to care.

I really don’t get these people, we’re like a knife’s edge close to anyone who opposes Trump getting rounded up and killed, and these people seem to think they’re not on the list?

Some people are happy to be on the list as long as the people they hate get killed first.
