Is Diane Feinstein too old to be in Congress?

[Romanticlover]

If you watched the SCOTUS confirmation hearing then you saw Sen Feinstein(D) repeat herself when asking questions. The MSM is starting to question if it's time for her to retire, she is 88 years old.

As I mentioned in other threads, I don't think we should have 80+ year old's running our country. At some point in life everyone has to hand the keys over to the younger generation.

Get rid of Citizens United and maybe other people can get elected.

We'd have to get rid of a lot of others as well:

Personally, I'd prefer if members of congress were like the President, only able to serve a certain number of terms and then be gone for good. That way we could get some new ideas and less old money sitting around collecting fat checks from the government and lobbyists.

Senators over 80, Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Grassley, Bernie Sanders, Mitch McConnell.

I believe there are other more important factors than age when considering the abilities of a Senator. Look at the feckless Ted Cruz at age 51.

I would be supportive of term limits, i.e. 3 terms would give them 18 years in the Senate.

[HighStepper]

I think 6 terms in the House and 2 terms in the Senate would be enough.

That would be 12 years. I could live with that.

Diane is not only too old but she is having memory issues. Other members of congress have expressed concern per news reports this week. Naturally, Pelosi had a standard PC answer about how DF is a "workhorse for CA."

Some of these old dudes & dudettes gotta go! We need an amendment place age limits on the House, Congress, VP, and POTUS. Biden is a bumbling idiot. And if he dies we have a whore in Harris who slept with Willie Brown to move up the CA Democrat Party ladder....  rant over.

We've also got James Inhofe, Patrick Leahy, and Richard Shelby, don't we?

In any case, Grassley is apparently getting ready to run again in November. At age 88.

Wow! Where did that come from? Is the term "whore" being used a pejorative term for a female, or are you suggesting she was working as a provider?

Willie Brown was separated from his wife for more than a decade when he and Harris dated in the mid-1990s. Their relationship ended in 1995. This was not a secret.

No need to like her politically, but why she got to be a Ho? Lol.

Hell she is more with it than Biden is....lol

I would say Harris was working her way to the top....or fucking her way to the top.

LOL. Exactly what I thought when I saw his post. Does he even know what site he's on? JFC

Fun fact: Kamala also dated Montel Williams 20 years ago, you know the talk show host.

How is this "fun fact" relevant to anything? You might as well say she lived on XYZ Street 20 years ago.

What is it with some people and their hatred?

Point taken. She's more of a tramp, not a Ho.

Damn, a lot of ladies must be tramps if dating a guy who's separated for 10 years is the determining factor.  Why can't all ladies be like Donny's babe.  Classy, educated,  Hahaha.

There is no law that limits the ago of someone in Congress.  Strom Thurmond was 100 when he retired from the Senate [Pelosi is 82].
If she can do her job than she is not too old [and yeh I know there will be polar opinions on that here but voters can decide].
Also I've seen a fair amount of age discrimination with regard to hiring and employment going on around me which is illegal but happens anyway so I don't like that in general.
