Curiously, Feinstein was incoherent and had to be wheeled into committee in a wheelchair for a while before she finally expired, still in office.

We've seen countless times that officials, whether elected or appointed, will cling onto power until we pry it from their cold dead hands.

We really need to implement age caps as well as term limits, since we can't count on elected officials being pressured into retirement by their own peers, nor can we count on the voters primarying them since it means losing the incumbent advantage.

Sadly, as with much of political reform, the status quo serves those who are in office, so there's not much motivation to implement such legislation, and the public is not great at organizing over secondary matters.

I remember a few years ago, the Japanese PM, Shinzo Abe, resigned from his position due to a chronic health condition that was worsening. He resigned of his own accord and made a public statement saying that he's stepping down because he did not want to make any major political or policy mistakes that would compromise the welfare of the nation. He was only 65 at the time, but still had the humility to recognize the weight of his position.

Meanwhile, we have 80+ year old dinosaurs that are brain dead and on life support that are still clinging on to power to their very dying breath regardless of the harm it does to the nation. Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Clarence Thomas, Maxine Waters, Eleanor Holmes Norton, and the list goes on and on. It's time for all of them to fuck off. Even Bernie Sanders needs to go. It's time to step back and enjoy retirement.

These parasites are literally the reason why we're in the mess we are in today. Their greed and selfishness is so extreme that it's like a disease. The dinosaurs that did go extinct like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Dianne Feinstein ended up leaving headaches for everybody else because they just couldn't step down gracefully. It's fucking embarrassing that we're even allowing these leeches to stay in power as a country. It's embarrassing that people are seriously wanting age limits for their politicians because these ghouls are soulless. When you look at actual civilized countries like Japan, you could only dream of what could be here.

Everyone knows it.

They will get away with it.

This is the reality of the new Fascist America.

I think the actual process is lost on a lot of people. Apparently there is no process to remove McConnell while he’s alive unless he resigns. Meaning if he’s on life support there’s nothing anyone can do. His seat just remains as is. I honestly think no one knows what’s going on with him. Apparently according to sources he’s been in a coma for 3 full weeks.

They're probably keeping his braindead body on life support. Can't have him rotting before entering the 3 month window before the election.

Do Trump on life support next!

If he's effectively brain dead he could be on a ventilator. Some 1-in-a-million chance of recovery that they're using to keep him 'alive' to hold the seat
