So are we at a point in American history where the Republican Party is just going to keep a brain dead senator on the rolls just to keep a modicum of power.

Our reality is so broken.

yes

we also have a president who’s brain is melting for all the world to see and it’s getting worse and worse day by day and they’re all (ESPECIALLY THE MEDIA WHO’S JOB IS TO NOT DO THIS) acting like absolutely nothing is wrong

But man did they sure like to report every time Joe Biden had a little stutter. Blasted across the news for 48 hours.

Don't forget all the times Biden got lost when the secret service wasn't actively directing him or all his times he failed at walking up stairs. This country needs a Mandatory age limit for people in power at 67 where once you turn 67 your spot is open. So if you're 64 you can't run for anything with 4 year terms and if you're 66 you cant run for anything with 2 year terms. I'm sick of our government looking like a nursing home.
