bet she gets relected
She'll primary Trump, if such a concept exists in four years.
Of you read the article, she is already being replaced in January by a republican candidate.
Why the fuck is she still getting a paycheck?
Because she's in a hospital and that shits expensive in the US.
Hopefully your employer can't just fire you if you get sick?

As I recall, she had a lot of mounting legal troubles over the Ft. Worth billion-dollar flood control project, which apparently funneled taxpayer cash to her son. And then there was that whole trip to Russia to meet with Putin on July 4th thing.
Oh, she was one of those.
at least they didn't reelect her for 2025-26
Only because she decided not to run again lol
Are you not running for office again congresswoman?
"Who are you?.. What office?"
You heard it here first folks, The congresswoman is still deciding if she will be running for office, back to you Terry.

I’ve encountered 90 year olds that can walk, maybe even run circles around 50-60 year olds, mentally and physically.
That said, this is something we keep seeing. Feinstein was painful to see, and a clear example of what should never be allowed to happen. We need an age cap.
A policy like that is also ethically sound in that, and I’ve heard this floated before in multiple places, in that the politician will then have to sit back as an outsider and look at the impact of what they did.
As is, our politicians are free from that in being able to die in office or retire to dementia care instead of FEELING the impact of what they’ve done, or pointedly not done, while in office.
Age cap: 70. Done. You can run if you’re going to turn 70 in office, let’s be generous, but once you’re over 70 you can no longer run for an office.
Enforced retirement of judges for the same reason. Hit 70, you finish or transfer the cases you’re working on and when that’s done you’re done. Who knows how much inertia is fueling a waxing/waning cusp of Dementia judge when there’s no real focus on this across the many courtrooms of the country.
But I’ll probably be accused of ageism here. It’s a nice way to solve ethics problems, infirmity problems, and add in a soft cap term limitation.
Tie it to the federal retirement age, which is currently 67.

Sorry is this the onion or not
This community is for articles that you would think are from The Onion because they're so crazy, but these articles are in fact genuine.
