Social Sundowning members of Congress megathread

[Phisher]

Here's another one. This guy was known to be totally senile two years ago, but was allowed to keep his position as ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, and he ran for it again this year.

The perfect job for a democrat

 

[idrankyourbeer]

lol the congresswomen was missing for nearly half a year and nobody knew where she is and she don't even know where she is either.

sounds like a cozy job. just keep collecting paychecks and not show up for half a year while nobody even goes looking for you.

The perfect job for a democrat

most republicans at least show up to work so they can sit on their hands and do nothing, but this one was too lazy to even show up at all.

for 6 months lol. they sure weren't under any kind of pressure when they were busy doing nothing for 6 months. took 6 months for her fellow republican peers to wonder why she wasn't showing up to work to do nothing, like all the rest of them do. i mean the least she could do is show up to work and screech about hunter biden and the border or whatever while signing her name to vote against any bills that would help the american people.

this is a role model republican right here. they literally didn't do shit for the last 6 months and their constituents don't even care. i would say to put her in for a raise but i'm pretty sure congress just decided to do that after passing this weeks house financing bill. it's been hard work for them doing a whole lot of nothing for the last 2 years.

i mean its not like congressmen ever really do anything, so i don't see why they just don't bother to work from home, or the nursing home alongside the rest of these senile old fucks in congress.

that's kinda gotta be a bit of a blow to the self esteem though. you go missing for 6 months and aint nobody even known you were gone or cared enough to go looking for you.

 

[USA!USA!]

Family still collecting the checks.

Politicians are supposed to serve - not make money or become rich.

Fix this, fix the insider trading, fix it all. These people are supposed to be serving us. SERVING. It's not supposed to be a career.

Lets hold them ALL to a better standard.

 

[High Test With da Best]

Is she holding a riding crop in the first picture? She looks like she's about to punish someone.

Also I take umbrage at Klippenstein stating a congressperson who just has back issues has dementia. Unless this is a known diagnosis? Why would he say that?

*edit*
"Senile"

Maybe senators and congressmen thought they'd get in trouble with Biden for ousting people that are too old and senile to be there?

You know.... because Biden is too old in senile to be there too.

Let’s kick out lobbying groups. It seems like such a no brainer.

Limiting political donations is infringing on the first amendment

Your kidding right?

 

[Rob Battisti]

Your kidding right?

I used to believe that money in politics was the source of all the ills we face as a nation. Then @Jack V Savage showed me that lobbying and money in politics plays no role on policy and that any attempts at limiting political donations would be a severe infringement on the first amendment.

Hahahahaha!!!

 

[Kingz]

It’s crazy between this bag and the purple haired goblin that debuted on the house floor last week the useless creatures lurking in congress from negligent districts that nobody knows about.

Talk about term limits all you want, this is a result of voters not knowing shit about their local politicians.

I bet the vast majority of her constituents and people that voted for her downballot because of a letter have no idea who she is

Same thing here. My representative is Doris Matsui. She’s gotta be in her 80’s now and doesn’t do any campaign signage here. I bet most here couldn’t name her if asked who their rep is. She wins by 40

We need age limits across the board.

 

[Rob Battisti]

We need age limits across the board.

I was also told this is wrong

 

[I Am Legion]

Her family needs to give back the last 6 months of pay she stole from her constituents. Thats what that is, it's theft.

 

[idrankyourbeer]

We need age limits across the board.

if they did that, then how the fuck would mitch mcconnell be able to stifle the democrat agenda?

that's what he was put on this planet to do, and if you take that away from him by imposing an age limit, then he will have nothing left to live for.

don't ruin this for us. the average lifespan of a tortoise is 80-150 years. mitch is still in his prime.

 

[White Whale]

They said she will retire next month.

Congress is getting younger while Senate is getting older.

Geriatrics should be required to take cognitive tests if they work in government.
