Every day it is more and more apparent that the Boomer generation has overstayed its welcome. Climate change, plagues, endless wars . . .. The world will be better off when they're finally all dead.

    Convict and pedophile* Dennis Hastert was Speaker of the House from 1999-2007

    *Not a convicted pedophile because the DOJ only ever went after him for trying to hide payouts to his victims after the fact and actually tried to keep the reason he was making those payments under wraps until some journalists got the story

    Whew! Was worried this would have gone by without having been slammed.

    It also serves as a distraction from Trump likely being one of the redacted 10 co-conspirators in the Epstein Files. So much winning!

    I don't know how what is in the title is a "slam"; it's what Pedonald said, outright.

    The crimes and the motivations for the crimes are right there, out in the open.

    They will be (and are already being) replaced by younger evangelicals, fascists (but I repeat myself), and con artists. They won't go away.

    True, but the Boomers are the generation that actively inhibited changes that would have curbed climate change (and still are utilizing government power today to inhibit curbing efforts) because it would hurt share prices. Climate change is an existential problem whose effect will neither be repeatable for hundreds and hundreds of years and will be felt for just as long. The Boomers are the ones who ushered all this in. It wasn't and isn't X, Millennials, Zoomers, or Alpha; but they'll get to enjoy the effects.

    Not even regime change. The regime is still there, just the president got removed. Trump doesn't understand what regime change actually entails.

    It's about deflection. December 19, 2025 is long past us now and most Epstein files are still being withheld and have not been released. Trump will burn the whole world down in order to keep this away from the public. BOOM! Venezuela!

    No, it’s about oil assets seized by Maduro! No, it’s about drugs! No, it’s about freedom!

    Oh she "slammed" it? That's great, maybe she can also blast it? Maybe "AOC rips operation to capture Maduro"? Decries? Lashes out at?

    For fuck's sake for how many more years are you going to accept an opposition party that does absolutely nothing constructive while the right wing lunatics do whatever they want? Who the hell care's about some angry statement?

    I have to point out, yet again, that a single individual of the house has virtually no individual power. What are you expecting her to do, break into the white house and single handedly arrest him?

    You should be aggressively protesting and she should be joining and organising said protests.

    This is basic, obvious, beyond classical civics. The fact you pretend writing an angry letter is the best a politician can do either makes you complicit with the actions your country are taking, lazy, dumb, or the three at once.

    "SHe's OnLy oNe PeRSoN" why do you bother electing and paying a salary to these people if whenever they're needed your default answer is "welp, nothing they can do"
