  1. This is how Silent Gen and Boomers will leave politics… this woman is 3 years younger than Pelosi… and the guy replacing her is 75. We need to start electing a younger generation.

    Edit: OP corrected me… “According to [his Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Goldman) the guy replacing her is 56 years old, not 75.” Hopefully Gen Xers won’t do this “cling to power” bullshit like those that came before us.

  3. Did she run unopposed? Or did her constituents really vote for a ghost?

  5. Holy shit. I saw this headline on Facebook and I thought it was from The Onion.

  6. I will actively campaign for candidates who start running on platforms that include term limits and mandatory retirement ages that are no older than the SS age (66) for all elected officials and to impose 20 year terms and the same age limit on the SCOTUS

    This gerontocracy has to fucking end.

  8. This can not be an acceptable situation.

    If you didn’t show for any other job for 2 days your employer would get to the bottom of it or you would be replaced.

    I have tons of empathy for her as a person and am saddened every time I hear of someone struggling with memory diseases.

    But where is the accountability of her staff to not daylight this?

  11. Fraud…this is beyond ridiculousness —shhh they’ll never know…repugnants

  12. This woman’s been in her office seat since I was 7 years old. I’m 34 now. What the fuck?

  13. Oldsters will never relinquish driving a vehicle and their governing positions.

  15. So, she’s been cashing her paychecks while skipping work for 6 months and her employer is the federal government?

    Thats a Lotta federal fraud right there, no?

  16. It’s frightening to think that any one of us might be in Congress, and not even know it. I mean, I can’t remember anything I did in Novermber of ’22. Could I have won a Congressional election? Maybe.

  17. This probably explains their desire for a raise. Retirement homes are expensive.

  19. I’ve always found it funny that they can set minimum age limits but not maximum age limits with a straight face. 

  21. She also went from being long term moderate on abortion to being “pro life” four years ago, so wonder how many of her votes over the last two congresses weren’t her choice.

  23. Incompetent government. We need to start doing something people.

  25. “Granger, who is retiring at the end of this legislative session, did not answer any of the Express’ phone calls or emails. She has not cast a vote in Washington since July 24, 2024. Granger has been in office since 1997.”

    At least she’s retiring soon.

  26. So fucked up, this country’s political system is a fucking joke. Leeches that just won’t let go.

  27. Barney Fife quote, “Now I ask you. Is this good government?”

  28. I just don’t know how deceit of the American public could be legal to this degree.

  30. > An employee of the office park told the paper Granger’s staff had cleared the office out and vacated before Thanksgiving, the paper reported.

    > They then received a tip that Granger was living in an assisted living facility after she had “been found wandering lost and confused in her former Cultural District/West 7th neighborhood.”

    Wow.

  32. The taxpayers are paying her salary this entire time too, don’t forget that.

  33. You know makes me almost sad is they found her as the gop majority is so slim that was a vote they did not have.

    It does speak to the fact that we need term limits

  34. And me here I thought Congress was a nursing home??🤷‍♂️

  36. Regardless of your party, if you are diagnosed with dementia, you should be done serving your country in government.

  37. We need stronger anti-elder abuse laws.

    Forcing these elderly entrenched politicians to keep holding office while they are mentally unfit for office is appalling.

    We need an iron clad law that at 70 politicians are done, no more running, no more holding office or being appointed.

    We have the same policy in the military for generals and admirals, why should our elected officials be held to a lower standard.
