Just before the land of the covid, I remodeled my kitchen and built a good sized pantry that was sorely needed. Now, some 3 years later, I've come to know of a problem from that brilliant idea - shelf life.Nikki Haley proposed a mandatory competency test for politicians older than 75 years old. That might be a good idea.
The pantry holds well over 550 items, much like all of the Legislative branch of the Feral government. I always try to ensure that any new item is placed in the back, behind the older items. But every now and again, I have to go through the items and use or purge some of them before they go bad, aka expire, albeit a bit late sometimes.
Surprising to learn that many canned goods do in fact have an expiration date and alas, sometime I catch them in time to use or donate them, but sometimes it's off to the landfill or compost pile with them. Same for Congress, some things just exist beyond their shelf-life. They become unsafe and un-usefull and have to go. McConnel is one, but there are others. Feinstein comes to mind. Certainly, Slo-Joe should land in the compost pile as well. Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_Do
Why no call from the Republicans for mitch to retire because of his age, Joe trips and that's all you read about his age.

Then why not just have term limits, like it is for President. You would never get an agreement on age.Age was definitely just a number for Jack LaLanne . in 1984 at the age of 70 the guy tows 70 boats across a Harbor doing the breast stroke. I think he should be the Gold Standard for Government Officials of any age.
They say age is just a number, right ? Originally Posted by VitaMan

My big problem with Biden's age is that he's too easily led by the Progressives in his administration. If he were 20 years younger he'd be a better, more unifying, more moderate President. Originally Posted by Tiny
