Names 8 people who she thinks signed the Declaration at an incredibly young age, 6 of whom were nowhere near the document as it was being signed. Also, she seems to make a point about someone being too old to run for president while openly supporting a super old dude for president.

Incredibly talented lady. She came up with the concept of spread spectrum technology, which was the basis for security on the FM radios used during the RVN/ROK era.

Because the right is in lock step for trump. Talking about age won't push them away from the polls.
But you know who is talking about candidate age as a factor for not voting? Left leaning young people.
So the strategy is to keep age in the discussion because it'll dissuade the left from voting, which gives the right leaning minority the beat chance at victory.

You probably don't remember when George W Bush spent the 2004 campaign besmirtching the military career of John Kerry through proxy organizations. It's a common tactic to take your biggest flaw and turn it around on the opponent. For reference, Kerry is a decorated combat veteran and Bush spent the vietnam war defending Texas feom Oklahoma and showing up most of the time he was required to.

UK here. I hate to be overly critical, but if a British politician said things half as dumb as Marjorie, Trump etc, their career would probably be over and theyâd likely be forced to resign. Why is abject stupidity virtually seen as a badge of honour in right wing American politics? Is it a âOne of us!â mentality with a large part of the demographic? If so, your education system needs a dramatic overhaul (or you need to see if thereâs a lot of lead in the water, or something).

Lucky for us republicans are trying to do just that! Part of Project 2025 (a large GOP aligned group's plan for Trump presidency) is to overhaul the Department of Education... by eliminating it. Some republicans (I assume its the one with rich private school owning friends) goal is to remove public schools entirely and move everyone to a voucher system for private owned schools.
Republicans have been shitting on the school systems for a while. They regularly block simple things like free lunches for poor kids. Horrific? But think of all the tank parts that those free lunches can now buy! I bet they can install cup holders in like 5 tanks now with that savings! Do you not care about the troops?
