No.

No, no, no, no, no!

Is she looking at Feinstein and thinking “well, I don’t need to be propped up yet, so I should still be able to run the country!”

I don’t care on which side of the aisle these oldies sit. They do not represent the will of a people who are largely younger than they are by two decades.

No, she's looking at her and her husband's bank accounts and thinking "well, I don't need to be propped up yet, so I can continue to be grossly corrupt and get even richer"

Well, she is the queen of congressional insider trading…

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

She was # 6 in 2021, # 1 to 5 were all Republicans.

Then things didn't go as well in 2022

So how about we start paying attention to Republican tradings? 👍

Republicans are masters of messaging. They latch onto one thing for one person and pound it over and over again. The left accepts that these are bad things (they are) but won’t whatabout enough about the Republicans that do it worse, so this becomes Pelosi’s image while those that do it worse are unknown.

While you are right this has zero to do with whatever party you want to idolize it’s a problem for all sides we need to focus on all of them, none of these clowns should be able to make trades, they are in positions where they actually can shape the outcomes of their trades that’s fucking ridiculous

And on topic there needs to be some realistic term limits for these jackasses especially when they start to get older, nothing wrong with being old but if you are running a country and you get stuck staring at cameras in a daze it’s time to go.. ffs most people I know can’t wait to retire and would do so even earlier if they could yet these goblins are slopping it up at the trough

This is a class issue always has been

Never said it wasn't the case, I just pointed out the Pelosi is always the target when the fact is she's not the worst and there's zero attention put on any Republicans regarding that.

She predates the baby boomers. She was in diapers when pearl harbor was bombed. Two decades younger should be the mandatory retirement age for politicians.

[-] jscummy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Younger by two decades is still mid 60s/retirement age

[-] Beelzebubba@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The average age of constituents in her district is 40. I cant figure out how she keeps getting elected, unless she's just never had a peimary challenger worth a damn.
