Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly stopped speaking during a weekly Republican leadership news conference Wednesday afternoon, appearing to freeze, and then went silent and was walked away.

What! You’re saying the system of oligarchic gerontocracy we’ve had for all of modern history, that is literally burning our planet, should be changed?
Blasphemy!
Congress, the President, and judges need a mandatory retirement age. We have them for pilots and air traffic controllers. I would set it at 65.
I would like this in Sweden too. Our idiots are comparatively youthful, but they’re still old enough to be completely disconnected from reality and make decisions with awful repercussions they’ll never live to see.
I know the Right likes to throw around Biden Bot’s text to speech timeouts, motor control issues, ghost handshakes and the gibberish world salad he likes to produce but I like to think there’s a parallel dimension where this is frontpage news world wide, no matter where you politically stand.
But we’re in this dimension, unfortunately. 🌚
I’m not even American. I hate most of the American politics and politicians. It’s infectious, like a disease once it crops up in the US it spreads to Europe sooner or later.
With Trumps campaigning and subsequent victory, the alt right nazis here in Sweden grew and made it into parliament.
There hasn’t been much of an abortion debate here. It’s been given that people should be able to short, but there has been some discussion about cutoff points. Then Roe v Wade was overturned and boom! Abortion was suddenly a topic.
Last election, a major political talking point was allowing for the creation of areas where police can stop anyone they deem suspect and search/interrogate them. Literally stop and frisk!
We’re also fighting a war on drugs. We have some of the most draconian policies for it.
We live in a society, and I’m sick to death of it. I want out!
