House Republicans this week have threatened two additional members of the Biden administration with impeachment, bringing the total so far during this Congress to seven elected and appointed federal government officials: President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves.
Reminder that Mitch McConnel after having what appeared to be a stroke is still in office. Biden who has no idea where he is after 5pm is who you are going to vote for and chide others for not voting for him. Feinstein wasn’t cognizant for at least 2 of her terms and only left office because she literally died.
The 117th Congress – House and Senate – is the oldest, on average, of any Congress in two decades. The average age of senators in this Congress is 63.9, and the average age of a House member is 58.3. And Congress is getting older and older; in the 107th Congress, which meant from January 2001 to January 2003, senators were, on average, 4.6 years younger and House members were 4.4 years younger.

It’s called gerontocracy and it’s what happens when political parties have fully captured the democratic process and people like you continue to vote for only the party approved candidates every election.
There should be an age cap, sadly. 65 is fair, I think.
It’s not just the cognition problems that come with age, it’s outdated values. There are people who privately hate black people, queer people, and women in general. Who value money above every other single thing in life. Who blindly obey authority. Who think their “team” must be supported, no matter what, right or wrong. THEY are making the rules.
