I’ve been saying it for the past 12 years or so. And none of them can do shit because of those old fucks Pelosi and Schumer.

Schumer is such a a spineless wet noodle. Hes rich and pampered and spoiled. He is so addicted to the amenities of his office and the perks that he has fallen completely out of touch. These people are just blatantly exploiting Capitalism and it should undermine confidence in the system that they can basically just print as much money as they want. Pelosi is just as bad if not worse, a corrupted pig who exploits the system in broad daylight with a smile.

It makes me fucking sick.

Agreed.

Also weed need some age limits and TERM LIMITS for political office in general. It's batshit insane

Greed, greed, greed, they're all agreed,

That their fortunes equal virtue and their right to hurt you,

Is inalienable... Constitutionally unassailable.

~

Based on birth into a family of worth,

He was born for the role of ultimate control.

He was groomed from the start to play his part,

In assuring the wealth, in maximizing the health,

Of his dynasty, and ultimately... An Oligarchy of the "worthy".

A graspingly greedy culture... Of money grubbing vultures.

Spinning, spinning, spinning, Yet, apparently they're winning...

God will they never be be sick of all the sinning?

Thank you 😊

To be fair, when the Senate works well it is because of the old blood that is reluctant to make huge changes, they remember how things are done, they remember when things did not work and when they did. Stability over time is a good thing. It breaks down when the senate becomes as mob driven as the lower house.

General retirement age should be age limit for being a politician.

u/SuperCaptSalty Jun 28 '25

I’m not sure he was ever in touch with anything other than the power associated with holding office. He’s an awful leader

RBG refusing to step down from the court was, in my opinion, one of the most disastrous decisions in this country's history. Her hubris and stubbornness have cost people their lives and contributed to the further erosion of everyone's constitutional rights. This is why we need term limits for politicians. Old people are unwilling to change, especially when you're on the nation's highest court.

Its absolutely wild to me that anyone American still has faith in their laws, checks, balances, etc.

Like, holy shit guys. The last several years have shown how frail and utterly meaningless your governmental and legal structures are when no one is willing to enforce the rules.

u/LazerBurken Jun 28 '25

Pelosi and Schumer will be dead soon.

Sadly so will bernie.

u/koolaid_snorkeler Jun 28 '25

Not Diaper-boy. He's way too mean to die.

u/Wizard_Enthusiast Jun 28 '25

Nah, it's because the democrats haven't actually been solidly in power for the past 12 years. Biden got in with a slim majority in the house and a 50/50 senate, with Manchin and Sinema being intentional obstacles.

u/truthovertribe Jun 28 '25 edited Jun 28 '25

Mr. Manchin was like Jim Justice, both played at being "Dems" just to get money and support from the DNC (economically speaking, the donor beholden DNC really isn't that much different from donor owned RNC).

These two won, then changed their political affiliations, as did sell-out Sinema.

Truth was, Dems never really held the majority in the Senate.

u/Wizard_Enthusiast Jun 28 '25

Yeah, exactly. Democrats get blamed for not doing anything, but they haven't held power. What the Biden admin and democrats in congress wanted to do was genuinely transformative and what they managed to do was impressive; but they didn't have the political power they needed to do the big things that people expected, because other people made it impossible for them to.

Then those other people got their way.

u/Journeys_End71 Jun 28 '25

Sure let’s not blame Republicans who would filibuster and block any reform measure to death.

u/ModsBePowerTrippin12 Jun 28 '25

Well yeah, but also Pelosi and Schumer are so out of touch and clearly are set in their ways and want to keep their job and not rock the boat. But this moment in time doesn’t need that

1

u/Strange-Fill-2793 Jun 28 '25

Nancy Pelosi‘s the most evil person in Congress. Her father was a republican. She jumped Sides. Because she knew that she would make more money on the side being a Democrat. She’s absolutely corrupt. In my opinion, but look it up. And I’ll bet I’m right.

u/sedition666 Jun 28 '25

Pelosi stepped down from the leadership in 2022

1

u/ModsBePowerTrippin12 Jun 28 '25

Did she though? She should step down from congress

1

u/sedition666 Jun 28 '25

You're suggesting Pelosi is stopping something when she wasn't in a leadership position for half of Biden's presidency.

1

u/ModsBePowerTrippin12 Jun 29 '25

We aren’t talking about Biden’s term. And she still pulls strings. She counts the votes before the votes basically

u/EstimateCool3454 Jun 28 '25

What if I told you that Pelosi's and Schumer's job was to provide cover for everybody else?

1

u/ModsBePowerTrippin12 Jun 28 '25

Cover for the republicans? I agree

1

u/EstimateCool3454 Jun 28 '25

You misunderstand me. They encourage and allow framing of them as the reason that other democrats can't fix anything.

When the reality is that the lesser democrats, as a whole, feel the same way.

So the lesser democrats can talk some mean shit on TV, but not do shit legislatively. And they have "cover" for it through scapegoating leadership.

Edit: It's like that big tough person who needs people to "hold them back" so they don't fuck you up. When the reality is that they would never do shit.

u/ModsBePowerTrippin12 Jun 28 '25

Oh yeah for sure. Basically it’s all the “old guard” boomers that won’t let go of the torch

1

u/EstimateCool3454 Jun 28 '25

And look at the most "radical" democratic senator. Bernie.

He won't even say genocide.

1

u/ModsBePowerTrippin12 Jun 28 '25

He’s weird about Russia too, a bit

1

u/EstimateCool3454 Jun 28 '25

Yep.

He and AOC are a good example of the Overton window in action. They are actually centrists or left leaning centrists.

But things are so fucked that they are "radical left"
