Is that the right theme?

I have to admit I am not paying much attention to the younguns except for AOC & Jasmine. Love them both. David Hogg seems to have pissed off a lot of people and I'm not sure why.

But I need Chuck Schumer, McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Grassley to retire.

I never thought Pelosi would piss me off. Never dreamed. But she personally saw to it that Biden stepped down. And now we have trump. I can't stand her now. I want her to retire, she's much older than Biden and trump, she's starting to lose the plot or has already lost it. She should retire with dignity.

What do you think of the (probable) new Mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani?
