Well an educated populace has always been a threat to those in power so I understand why the old bat would be so volatile.

She wrote that 2038 is only 12 years away, and that "YOU and your classmates will be responsible for paying down the national debt."

Nevermind that Trump and the rest of the congressional Republicans increased the national debt by 3 trillion dollars already, fuck you kid for wanting something good for everyone instead of only wanting good stuff for the Epstein class.

This is the old woman who shouted, "shut up" at reporters right? She literally reminded me of a witch in that video

I feel like she would be surprised that her stocks in "Consolidated Slave Trading" are no longer liquid.

this is age-ism, but i really don't think anyone past 80 should be in charge of anything beyond self-care

"YOU and your classmates will be responsible for paying down the national debt."

Well, she is absolutely right about that. She should know, because it's her generation's fault.

Foxx, who voted for the spending bill that the Congressional Budget Office projected would add $3.4 trillion to the national debt, told a 10-year-old that he and his classmates would be responsible for paying it down.

How are these people in charge of anything?

No prizes for guessing this congresswoman’s party affiliation.

Not that “Yahoo Entertainment” (news is dead, i know) even bothered to put it in the entire article, much less the headline.

The congresswoman started by thanking Christian for writing. She said they agreed about the importance of innovation in the automobile industry.

That was the last kind thing in the letter.

Foxx told the 10-year-old that his request meant taking money out of the pockets of hardworking taxpayers who might not be able to afford an electric vehicle themselves. She told him the country was heading toward bankruptcy and economic failure. She wrote that 2038 is only 12 years away, and that "YOU and your classmates will be responsible for paying down the national debt."

She capitalized "YOU." She was writing to a fourth grader.

Then she linked him to six articles from Fox News, National Review, The Washington Times, and the Wall Street Journal editorial board — articles about the failures of climate change policy.

And then she turned on his teacher.

What a fuckwit piece of shit.

It is so selfish to hold on to power when you clearly have no understanding of the present or future. There should be a ceiling age. politics is for people with a stake in the future.

No doubt her own grandparents firmly believed that the future was the Buggy Whip industry.

Age is not at all the same as Wisdom.

In fact I'm starting to think that if you don't get a broad life experience and recognize the need to and start walking down the path of Wisdom early enough, the natural calcification of habits and thinking, and increased emotional comfort from what is familiar that come to all of us with aging, will actually result in one becoming less wise with age.

Even when the brain is sharp, if one is not wise enough one's comforting feelings from certain beliefs will shut off accepting all evidence or conclusions leading elsewhere. When the brain is not sharp enough, this is pretty much guaranteed, IMHO.

An 82 year old congresswoman.

Christ.

We need age limits on politicians.

I don't even need to look up her party affiliation to know that she's a republican. I mean, the average age of congress can be blamed equally on both parties, but an octogenarian who talks shit on education, is super "concerned" about the national debt, and speaks in a shitty manner toward a child is definitely republican.

If you pitched this as a scene in a satirical movie, you'd be told to tone it down a bit.

Because of course

This bitch runs the district north of me. I say this a native of WNC. Fucking hillbillies are stupid. Edit--- and me saying this is why I could never run for public office. I think my own people are mouth breathing morons who will vote for any dipshit that has a bible in their hand. This bitch is not even from WNC but yet but every Popcorn Sutton from the holler licks her festering taint.

I am so ready to move on from the boomer generation.

That kid should get the top grade for the project. She really proved his thesis that this is something she needs to learn about

Its Virginia Foxx. Hard to be shocked. The idea of children being raped brings her joy.

I’m sorry, but why isnt* grandma retired? Like I hate it when I seek the elderly working!

Better stop spending on gasoline and pay off that Republican debt instead!

The lesson I am learning: the elderly should have the congressional keys taken away from them, before they can drive the nation into stupid.

none other than virginia foxx she belongs in a nursing home, along with Kay IVES.

Over 20% of our reps are over 70 years old last time I looked, 120 or so.

Mitch McConnell is absurdly impaired and still won't step down.

One our many problems in the USA, we are definitely long past our prime, so perhaps it's suitable that Mitch stays in office. May as well elect him as President at this point, Maxine Waters can be VP, she's almost 90.

The rage bait is strong with this one

She’s bought and paid for by the petro union.

Virginia Foxx sounds like a pornstar name. Just a tiny bit less on the nose than Virgin Foxxx.
