No, it ain’t. This gerontocratic government must come to embrace the next generation and get the fuck out of the way. These old fuckers are NOT up to the threat that musk and trump represent
This is the news. You need to see this stuff to understand how serious it is. We could passively write this the way we do with Israeli war crimes, but then no one would care.
Fuck this ancient fuck who refuses to step aside so someone with a functional brain can fight the 20-year-old Elon Fascists destroying our country and fuck anyone who makes excuses for them by crying “ageism” when we point out that people like this or Ruth Bader Ginsburg should retire. Fuck that.
“This is gross, Ken, even from you, Ken, a person from whom we expect gross things” is the subtext of your message and THAT is gross. Stop excusing these ancient millionaire goons who refuse to release power to those of us still up for a fight. Especially in this crisis moment. Fuck that.
While Ken can be a bit mean spirited at times, a congressperson’s age-related illness is relevant to their ability to perform basic duties. Being a lawmaker requires sharpness of mind and good communication. These abilities are compromised in the elderly.
Why do you want to hide what is going on? Is it not in the public interest to know? Shouldn't your question be why are those around these cognitively impaired people not protecting them from this shame that you see it as?
A weak inauthentic Democrat party is why we're in this mess. They're like foxes: they can be cute and friendly but more cunning and just as deadly as the Republicans.
Well
Maybe they need to stop giving leadership roles to whoever turn it is,
When many are not up for this fight. When it’s clear you need to retire and you refuse, that is not going to help at all and right now the party is lead by people who still think it’s 1995 & not MAGA
Why was your aunt a congress person? Cuz if not, I agree. If she was and it was a result of her working in to her mid 70s no, you don't get to hide that from people
Was her "work" running the country? Because I feel like that's the important bit here. This isn't a random old man getting filmed on the street for shock value. It's a C-SPAN broadcast from Congress.
Your aunt isn't an elderly person holding on to an incredibly powerful position in spite of her health issues. Fuck all those old ass establishment cunts. They are a major reason why we are where we are
Yeah, I've had a grandma ane MIL who have suffered strokes. I cerainly would encourage them to step down from congress if they were in congress at the time. Seems like it would be bad for everyone if they were in congress.
people DIE every day because old fucks like this dickhead get in office and stroke out mid speech instead of actually DOING their fucking jobs. this isn’t about your aunt. it never was. go to a therapist if you want to address old traumas that trigger you.
He's promoting the app because he'll get money if people pay for it and he needs to finance his journalism. Your aunt isn't a someone for whom their health and its impact on their ability to perform their duties is relevant.
"76 year old Democratic congressman John Larson suffers medical episode while speaking on the House floor, freezing for nearly a minute." is the gross part how many politicians hide serious heath problems from the public? From Feinstein to McConnell, the public deserves transparency

Dems don't care about us.
You: 😡 awareness sucks 😡
Not electing people a week away from meeting the reaper
But I don't think ken did that
Legitimate criticisms are warranted.

My aunt had a cerebral hemorrhage at work at age 36, and I can't imagine how I'd have felt had someone posted a video of it happening.
Disturbing.
So now you're making jokes about a veteran who uses cannabis to help manage PTSD?
Seriously, what kind of monster are you?
Any normal person can very easily understand that he’s not promoting any ridicule of this congressman having a stroke.
But rather the absurdity and disservice it is to have people who are clearly unfit still serve in office!
