      Interesting first reaction. Pelosi is 82. McConnell is 81. Both have stepped down from power. Trump will be 79 next year, the first year of another 4 year term, yet I don’t see anyone talking about his age.

        If you don’t see people talking about Trump’s age, then you weren’t watching the news for the last 4 months. The minute Biden backed out Trump’s age became a major talking point.

    …anyway

    Up vs. Down. She’s made hundreds of millions selling us out and undermining the occasional spoiler candidate that has actual economic leftwing views within her own party (the DNC only promotes bribe taking neoliberals) harder than she fights her supposed opposition party:

      She’s a shorty and always wearing those high heels. She’s still sharp mentally.

            These are HER stock trades, not her husband’s.

              Isn’t it both? I thought they both had to disclose their trades based on her position.

                Her actual trades are tracked, the STOCK act require they disclose their trading within 45 days.

                No sheetski Sherlockski.

                It’s a match made in heaven! Or at least on a comfortable 16 acre estate in Napa Valley. Or the Pacific Heights mansion. Or while staying at the Auberge du Soleil.

                  I think they live in the Russian Hills section of San Francisco. There’s probably more money there than actual Russia.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
