    How little of a life do you have to keep showing up to do political scheming when you are 82 years old?

    Retire, go live in the woods, spend time with your family, get the fuck out of office and leave space for the next generation.

    She then cited six articles from the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, National Review and The Washington Times “about the disastrous record of polices enacted to address ‘climate change’ for your perusal.”

    Two of the six articles about climate change that Foxx cited were editorials by the Journal’s editorial board, which reflect the political perspective of owner Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire conservative media mogul and ally of President Donald Trump. Another was an October 2025 opinion piece by Steve Goreham, an activist who has authored books that argue against the scientific consensus that climate change is being caused by humans and gives speeches to oil and gas industry executives.

    Can you even fathom being so much of a useless loser that you write a brain worm addled denial of climate change to a kid who just wanted you to focus on electric cars?

    Also, propaganda != disinformation, so the claims still require refuting if you believe they're false

    1. Sure, please run again and then please for the love of everything let nature run its course and end your term very very early.

    That’s an absolutely insane age for someone to still be an active politician. What’s her manifesto, outlawing penny farthings?

    Obviously fuck you Virginia Foxx, but also...double fuck you for representing North Carolina when your name is literally Virginia.

    Imagine being such a bitter old biddy that you have to personally respond to a kid's letter like that. How hard is it to literally just send a form letter "thank you for your input" response instead?

    I vote to ban "slams" in headlines unless somebody is getting literally body slammed.
