The term is "gerontocracy", but it's the sentiment that counts.

There is almost no chance Mills wins the primary and even if she does she will probably lose to Collins anyways.

It must be happening. 47 year old Seth Moulten announces primary run against 80 year old Sen. Ed Markey. I can just see it: Moltin’ Moulten!

One of the Kennedys tried to beat Markey last time round in the primaries and got an absolute hiding. If the race comes down to which candidate has more faux outrage Moulton will definitely win.

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.

It's amazing how many MAGAs still think the GOP is the party of Lincoln. I doubt any of these twats would agree with 5% of Lincoln's platform.
