TERM LIMITS! That would get most of the elderly and befuddled out. Anybody remember Strom Thurmond? Plus, according to friends in SC, the older he got, the bigger a problem he had with - er, wandering hands. Women didn’t want to be in the same elevator with him.
People get very loyal to their legislator “de toda la vida,” as the Spanish would say, meaning “as long as I can remember.” So there needs to be a mandatory term limit for all offices.
I caught her on C-span a few times earlier this year during some committee meetings..either Rules or Ways and Means. She’s ranking member on several key subcommittees..While I detest her politics, she seemed very alert and spry..spoke well...compared to most of the female members of the black caucus...she’s an Einstein..
Who spells Grandma this way — affirmative action “journalists”?
Bravo for Bob and he is spot on right!!
My Father’s drivers license expired when he was around 88. He was no longer driving but in order to keep insurance on his car it was necessary to keep his DL.
My Sister and I took him to the Florida license office to get his license renewed. The only test they gave him was the eye test. He was so unsteady on his feet that my Sister stood beside him and held the back of his belt to keep him steady.
He passed the eye test and got his license.
Nice sentiment, but if “Granma” is a self-sustaining adult you can’t simply take her keys away from her. If she’s a danger, her license to drive has got to be revoked by the authority that issued it.
OK, let’s get rid of people who have lived long enough to live through history and how that relates to what is happening today.
When are people useless, at what age? Let’s decide and get rid of these people - maybe mass confinement or whatever - don’t give them water and they will be gone in 3-4 days.
If anyone wants to get rid of me at my age of 80, put me in a “home” or worse, be prepared for a fight - my tactical vest is loaded and so is my gun. My vision is 20/20 and my brain works extremely well which it always has.
Voters will decide about Louise based on her performance whether she is 21 or 90.
MOST Gramma’s are more lucid and ANYONE that listens to RAP music..
RAP music is not music, its not even poetry.. or prose..
Its Propaganda or worse Agitprop..
Amazing how stupid MOST American children have become..
Not slow or stunted or even ignorant but STUPID..
12 years of public school has destroyed their desire to learn anything..
Its not an accident either.. it was done with forethought and amazing connivance..
By teachers Unions and democrat politicians and not a few republicans..
Should be a Capital crime.. the dumbing down of America.. ON PURPOSE..
The punishment...... HANGING!... (after being water boarded for names of other criminals)..
Breathtaking ignorance of economics or
She's a shameless hack
Seeing how she has nothing to say as gas is approaching $6 in CA and there’s a dem-hole in the Whitehouse, that proves she’s a shameless partisan hack.
But I’ll wager she’s also economically ignorant as well.
I thought this article was about Pelosi.

They are obsessed with abortion and birth control. I would not call that women’s issues as much as watermelon population control and eugenics issues.
Some ditzy women fall for the hate-bait angle every time; especially black women whose race was directly targeted for extermination by Planned Parenthood’s founders.
With leftist agenda, the “us versus them” usually means “me against myself.”
Oddly, she looks a little Gerald Ford
I mean the way he looks now.
Slaughter was first elected to Congress in 1986. Her ACU ratings over the years ranged from a high of 17 in 1990 to absolute zero in 1994, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2010 with a 25 year lifetime overall average of 4.99. The only other year she had a double digit rating was her first year in 1987 at a 10. She has been the direct beneficiary of gerrymandering of her district from the suburbs to include the inner city of Rochester as the overall population of New York State decreased because of residents fleeing the state due to the stratospheric taxes enacted by a RAT-dominated state legislature(to support their downstate liberal base in New York City).
Julia Carson was illiterate AND senile and hung on to her Congress seat here in Indianapolis until she died. Then they elected her grandson who’s even worse - a liberal AND a Muzzie.
83 is old, but corrine brown, my rep, behaves as if oxygen supply is cut off for a reasonable thought.
I was born and raised in Rochester, but haven’t lived there since 1972. I spent the summer of 2011 there because my sister was in hospice care, and it was then that I first discovered Bob Lonsberry’s radio show. I was delighted to find out that his program is replayed on a Syracuse station in the afternoon, so when I’m out and about, I get to listen to him. He’s excellent.
Pretty funny nickname. Where did it come from?
