Too old to run for office, step down crypt keeper
Interesting typo.
Sorry haven’t finished my coffee
Interesting first reaction. Pelosi is 82. McConnell is 81. Both have stepped down from power. Trump will be 79 next year, the first year of another 4 year term, yet I don’t see anyone talking about his age.
Who hasn’t been talking about their ages? Fuck thats been shouted since at least 2020 they’re all too old
Biden,Pelosi and McConnell have stepped down from power. Trump will take the chair in a new term. Maybe instead of talking about all of them it would be good to focus on the real problem.
Of the 4 only Biden seems to be gone.
Agreed the problem is all the rich old people in power, but I think you only have an issue with certain ones in power
Representative government. If the people want to vote for an 82 year old Pelosi, who am I to say they shouldnt? Being in power is the important part.
Yeah over the years we’ve really seen people truly get a choice…
Well, a lot of people have tried and failed. Theyare well liked in their district and state
Both have stepped down from power.

Nancy Pelosi files paperwork to run again — but plans remain vague
…and what about the news Pelosi was trying to kill AOC’s chances in committee and the DNC immediately pushed back to protect Pelosi’s fee wees? She would never do such a thing such as… that thing she has done her entire fucking career. Pretending Pelosi hasn’t done this kind of thing before and certainly isn’t doing it now is a joke. Being a power broker in the party is literally the story of her career.
Finally, stepping down from power should have been done when she was retirement age, which based on her age bracket would be pegged at 66. She’s 16 years past the reasonable expiration date of stepping down from a position of power.
DPelosi is not the caucus leader anymore. She doesn’t speak for the caucus, deal with Republicans, etc. She still has political power within the caucus. There’s a difference.
Then you haven’t been paying attention. All these old fucks that don’t represent us need to go.
Up to their voters I guess.
Is she even popular with her base?
Are they even allowed to primary her is the better question
Oh yeah. If I remember right she had a primary opponent last election. Though I can’t say they’ve all been good through the years. It is San Francisco, so weird is usual.
I guess, she’s won quite a few terms in her district. Everytime someone primaries her, she destroys them.
If winning elections proves you are popular then I have some bad news.
Great. What would you like? The ultimate popularity poll for a political is an election, but what do you have in mind?

…anyway
Up vs. Down. She’s made hundreds of millions selling us out and undermining the occasional spoiler candidate that has actual economic leftwing views within her own party (the DNC only promotes bribe taking neoliberals) harder than she fights her supposed opposition party:

Don’t you know dnc thinks it’s unethical to primary a current member? unless said member has any vague progressive ideas then they’re fair game
Buddha! Zeus! God! One of you guys, do something! Help! Satan! You owe me! … Please let her meet Kissinger and the Queen in hell.
Feinstein part deux
She’s a shorty and always wearing those high heels. She’s still sharp mentally.
She’s still sharp mentally.
Yeah, seems so. I can tell by her stock trades. Always on point.
That would be her husband.
These are HER stock trades, not her husband’s.
Isn’t it both? I thought they both had to disclose their trades based on her position.
Reports of stock are not based on who trades them.
Her actual trades are tracked, the STOCK act require they disclose their trading within 45 days.
She’s not a trader, Paul is.
They are not new, but willing to defend the empire at any cost.
the status quo can’t be allowed to change

No sheetski Sherlockski.
It’s a match made in heaven! Or at least on a comfortable 16 acre estate in Napa Valley. Or the Pacific Heights mansion. Or while staying at the Auberge du Soleil.
I think they live in the Russian Hills section of San Francisco. There’s probably more money there than actual Russia.
