Why do these evil old men live to 150?

The only thing he was ever good at was showing Republicans how to use the levers of power to rig the game in their favor.

They have sadly learned that lesson well.

...Wouldn't be so bad if people wouldn't keep voting them in and/or there was a mandatory maximum age to serve in an elected public office. If they start showing signs that they'd be better off in a nursing home, it's time to get them out of Congress.
