Spry young woman in the prime of her life knight-nod

Is this some sort of ploy to get higher pensions or something from getting the role?

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

I think it's just her sense of supreme entitlement which is typical for old and very old DC dems.

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

If she hasn’t been doing insider trading to increase her retirement funds, then idk what she was doing in government for 87 years.

Weekend at Bernie's Groundhog Day? Seems bad.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago

I don't think she has enough experience

Just the kind of hip young gunslinger American politics needs

[–] Ildsaye@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

Can it really be said that an undead below the age of 150 has really honed their powers? Has she really had time to drain enough mortals of their vitality and memories? That upstart Biden didn't seem to have accumulated any memories or vigor despite consuming the essence of multitudes - You just can't depend on juvenile vampires to know what they're doing.

I thought this was some fakenews shit.

Scoop: Holmes Norton passes on House Oversight bid

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) said Wednesday she is ruling out a run to be the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee after briefly entertaining the idea.

Are we making a funny or did Axios change the article after you posted?
