[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure our Congress is productive nor effective.  The average age at least needs to come down - the ones in power are all age 75+ - I just don't see how anyone can suggest that Congress should have control over anything.  I'm not a supporter of Musk and also worry he has too much control.  No, I don't trust him BUT - here's a big one - he's bringing a new game.  Congress is the same old BS and I don't trust them anymore than I trust Musk.  At least with Musk being new, and his predilection of using social media and posting all the time and the fact he is business v. politics by trade, there's going to be more public scrutiny and debate at least over what he's doing.  When Congress and the old folks run the show, it's a rigged game, admit it.

The truth is, we're in bad shape as a country.  Whether it was Trump/Musk or current Congress (status quo/Kamala) running things, our near future sucks.[/quote]

So you’re ok with trashing THE CONSTITUTION? Just so I’m clear?[/quote]

Yes. Yes these people are ok with this. It’s insane.

Also, I am very for stricter term limits in Congress (because I’m pretty sure it would be considered discriminatory to solely limit service based on old age). But this would at least stop someone like Mitch McConnell from sticking around so long.

But we should not limit Congress through abuses by the executive branch.

I also find it ironic that conservatives promote themselves as such strict constitutionalists, except they’ll totally bastardize things when it suits them and interpret a well armed militia to mean easy access to as many guns and as much ammo as their hearts could desire.[/quote]

We have a minimum age, there's nothing discriminatory about a maximum age. [/quote]

Minimum ages aren’t problematic. But we have laws preventing age discrimination in employment for older people. Or at least we used to have laws. Maybe those don’t count anymore.[/quote]
