WND–
Lt. Col. James Zumwalt on what happens when a public ‘servant’ serves only herself.
While “drain the swamp” originally meant draining water from marshes to rid them of mosquitoes, it has become popular since the 1980s in reference to getting rid of human pests – politicians who have outstayed their welcome. Although the idiom is relatively new, the problem is not. Prior centuries through the present have witnessed politicians serve between 45-50 years. Including President Joe Biden, of the 20 longest serving politicians in U.S. history, 17 were/are Democrats, although one later switched parties.
As we see with Biden, issues arise concerning our most elder statespersons as time takes its toll on them, memory fades and performance deteriorates. History tells us such was evident for one long-serving member in a position of responsibility.
This individual was a senior member of the military who served for 53 years in uniform, spending more than half those years as head of the U.S. Marine Corps (1820-1859) where he lived in a luxurious mansion in Washington, D.C. Having served longer than any other commandant, when Gen. Archibald Henderson died, he bequeathed his quarters to his heirs, forgetting they were the property of the United States government. Thus, he had no ownership rights to do so, although almost 40 years as commandant left him believing his casa was his casa. more here
Pasture hell, put her down…..
They shoot horses don’t they?
Calling that criminal an old gray mare is an insult to female horses all over the world.
How abot: Mandatory retirement from government – elected, appointed, civil service- at 75. Max government service at 40 years – including all levels and branches.
End the Gerontocracy.
OK…Biden’s gonna die or be replaced….next in line is Kamala followed by Pelosi. They are all like inviting retards with COPD to a balloon inflation contest. 4th in line is the Secretary of State John Kerry?…I dunno, can’t keep track….I’m hoping it eventually gets down to Carl at the loading dock so we can at least get us some french fried pertaters and some mustard for our biscuits….UMMMM HUMMMM!…

@Joe6pak
That’s a lot of research on a Monday night. I hope your getting paid for it.
Jackasses too No Momma.
Joe, your only hope is the Sweet Meteor of Death to strike D C.
Two words. Term Limits.
The old gray mare just ain’t what she used to be…
And what she used to be was unspeakable…
Too bad she won’t get what she deserves …

Kcir, I’m on retainer. BFH sends me 1000 iOTW bucks every other month.
America put the bad guys back in charge again (Progressives). As long as the masses believe Progressive Assholes, we are going to continue to go fuck-up.
All Dems can do is destroy their own places, and with the media’s help convince America of the lie that’s it nation wide . All B.S. America is buying it.
Progressives do not serve the public trust. They exploit it, and always scheming to exploit some more. What has gone wrong with my countrymen to willingly lose all that was fought for, and in the end to lose what we know to be evil upon us all is What folks..?
I’m not crazy. I’m pissed off!
Thomas Jefferson spoke of this plainly long ago. Fuck…Fuck..!
America is being Usurped. The index finger between lips and moving up and down rapidly to solve nothing but the demise of Liberty to selfish assholes.
“How abot: Mandatory retirement from government – elected, appointed, civil service- at 75.”
I don’t think that would be possible for elected officials, at least on the Federal level, the Constitution sets the requirements for office and I’m thinking it would take a Constitutional amendment to change them.
States may vary by State in their requirements and how they are established.
It’s up t the voters to decide who is and who is not qualified to hold office, who should and who should not be representing them.
Mandatory retirement the Communist way?
Found somewhere on the Internets:
Pelosi opens sessions now with drinking of blood from the Judas Chalice.
All Democrats partake.
Republicans balk but eventually join in.
@Anonymous 7:37 AM: “It’s up t the voters to decide who is and who is not qualified to hold office, who should and who should not be representing them.”
Sorry Anonymous but the democraps have proven that this is no longer the case.
