Many older reps claim to do it for "generations to come" or "my family."

I support a mandatory retirement age, but being more than 75 years doesn't necessarily mean you're senile.

Unfortunately not much better elsewhere, if at all. What would make me move is the idiotic healthcare system.

And clean up after mowing.

Calling someone dumb for being dumb is not tactless. Calling someone a cunt for calling out their objective stupidity is tactless.

Go read the person's comments. I think most will agree that their behavior is dumb in every sense of the word. They need to know that. Not that anything will change, but at least they've been called out.

Hmm. Water is wet? Who knew?

Dumb and tactless. The classic gun-nut combo.

Yeah, because Donny will surely stand up for Gaza much more than Joe ever did...

You don't sound like a very smart person.

Please go support the Trumpster more often. Thanks.

In America, you can be anything you want. So don’t be weak and gay.

So, you can't be anything you want? It's incredible that she doesn't hear the irony.

Many voters have tuned out — or priced in — Trump's baggage and legal issues to the point where he's now favored to defeat President Biden in November, according to RCP's polling average.

A Suffolk poll out Wednesday found that 49% of voters now approve of Trump's job performance as president — matching the highest point he ever reached in office. The big picture: Financial Times columnist Ed Luce calls this phenomenon "the banality of chaos."

Trump's candidacy is "so far off the charts it is almost paranormal," Luce writes, but most of the former president's controversies no longer break through to the public.

In 2018, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon argued that the best way to neutralize the media — which he labeled "the real opposition" — is to "flood the zone with shit."
