How can we be sure they don't understand at this point? They'd really have to be morons, how can they even take care of themselves?

Have you seen Congress? It’s like Denny’s on senior appreciation day.

They had to wheel McConnell in not long ago because he physically couldn’t walk.

And like I don’t mean to shit on the elderly (directly anyway) but I dunno just spitballing here, maybe we could get some folks in there who weren’t born yet when the civil rights act was passed???

  • Why would that matter? There are many young members who congress who also support the same things.

    • Tell me you've never taken care of an elderly person without telling me you've never taken care of an elderly person.

Have you listened to any legislative debates on technical issues? “A series of tubes” was the high point of political understanding of the internet.

  • Wait! What? The high point was a stunning display of the Dunning-Kruger effect?

    We should pay John Cheese to call them all personally.
