Both Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi suffered falls this week, the latest reminder of the gerontocracy we live under

Our future president already has one foot in the grave and he hasn’t even started his term yet. :p
It’s a start.
they are not leaders they are parasites
If these idiots had retired a thousand years ago like they were supposed to, they would have probably left a pretty good legacy and a decent remembrance of their political work.
Instead, everyone is just going to remember these skeletal monsters that wanted to hold on to money and power until their dying breath at the cost of everyone alive and everyone yet to be born.
They will never retire, set term limits to themselves, and people will keep voting for them because 'our guy has more seniority & power than a new guy '.
When they die or retire all their shit comes to light, Strom Thurmond, the biggest racist piece of shit had interracial children and I’m damn sure all Lindsey’s boys will come prancing out I to the light when he goes.
Fucking horrific that they’re chosen to lead.
Thoughts
And
Prayers
(Specifically what those thoughts and prayers entail is left as an exercise to the reader)
And I’d like to double T.A.P.!
That’s how you know they’re down for good.
No I have some thoughts and prayers for him, But there’s not the kind he’s expecting.
Baby, those are hopes and American dreams.
not like either of those two need worry about getting health care …
May they fall a dozen times more.

Don’t be ageist.
We grew up respecting our elders because they had wisdom. The issue here isn’t wisdom but a lack of character; and that’s ageless.
Chances are, although they can’t debug a peerfs problem on a tiny text window on a phone with shitty wifi while in seat 12c at 30,000 feet, they will know about people; and their morals should be intact. Ignore this years flashy tech bullshit and listen to what they can teach you.
The ones who weren’t shitbags to begin with, aren’t shitbags now. The ones who are assholes their entire life are - surprise - still assholes.
Hanks for listening.
Elders have wisdom, but they also tend to be out of touch. The world is simply moving way too fast for people who grew up in the aftermath of WWII to be at the helm today when what’s needed is fresh ideas that the gerontocracy is physiologically incapable of producing.
I agree, but a lot of the problem is the corrupt have had a political lifetime to amass influence. Also, for the Democrats at least, the oldest politicians aren’t getting butts to the polls.
