@emptywheel

Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    emptywheel Retweeted Bill Kristol

    Waiting for Bill Kristol to ask Robert Mueller, who turned 74 last week, to step down because he's too old. Also, maybe Kristol can have the 84 year old Chuck Grassley put Jeff Flake in charge of Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings?https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1027541062737383426 …

    Pelosi would do her party a favor by announcing that though she looks forward to being part of a Democratic majority, she thinks it's time for a new leader, that she won't stand for Speaker, and that she's urging her fellow 75-and-over colleagues in leadership not do so as well.

        As an old guy, I do think it’s time for younger leaders to step up. Saying that who the frick are the Republicans to tell anyone about choosing leaders.

        @BillKristol @NancyPelosi stood on the house floor, with no breaks, for 8 hours in stiletto heels, reading letters from DACA kids - remember that? She is a total badass. I'd like to see you try it, Bill!

        Exactly. Men don’t see age...unless it’s a female. Truth.

        SUPPORT NANCY PELOSI Democrats can't take the bait. We must value @NancyPelosi and rally. She is an important part of the success. Look what happens when people put a wall around their person. Trump is for bad what @NancyPelosi is for good.

        Well ageism is right there. Since when is having the knowledge, expertise & record of accomplishment a thing not to want? Healthcare would not be available to millions of Americans if it wasn’t 4 Pelosi. She knows more about passing and writing legislation then anyone in DC.

        Can we just have a big retirement party for all the boomers and wish them well in their next endeavors?

        Also, the guy responsible for the Iraq War and Sarah Palin’s fame doesn’t get to tell Democrats how to run their party.

        @BillKristol by your standard you should retire from commenting on politics in the MSM. Again, take down that tweet! It's misogynistic 😬

        I would like younger MOC in leadership roles, but it’s galling that the GOP’s use of Pelosi as some liberal boogeyman is solely bc of misogyny.
