New in PJ Media:
If it’s ludicrous, appalling, and horrifying beyond measure all at once, it must be the latest news from the Democrat Party. Just in case you haven’t had enough socialist scolding and woke posturing, the angry great-grandfather of the Left, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-East Berlin) is considering yet another run for Chairman of the Politburo; uh, scratch that, he’s actually thinking of running for president of the United States in 2024. And why not? By the time the election rolls around, Bernie will be 83, just a little over a year older than Old Joe Biden himself. Maybe Bernie can persuade Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California Soviet Socialist Republic) to be his running mate. DiFi will only be 91 by the time of the November 2024 election and no doubt tanned, rested, and ready.
The big question at the prospect of yet another Sanders presidential run is this: Why don’t these people ever go away? The answer is on the bottom line. Six of the fifteen richest counties in the country are in Virginia and Maryland, right outside Washington, D.C. Public service in the United States has become a lucrative exercise in mutual back-slapping, with numerous well-heeled lobbies eager to pay a cash-strapped congressman or senator outlandish speaker’s fees after he gets them what they want on the legislative floor. And once you’ve climbed aboard the gravy train, it’s hard to get off.
Sanders advisor Faiz Shakir acknowledged, in a memo that the Washington Post claims was leaked to the media, that if Old Joe Biden, with his approval ratings lower than those of the Zodiac Killer, decides to retire for good to his taxpayer-funded walled Delaware beach house, or if Hunter’s laptop becomes just too inconvenient for those who are running this administration and Old Joe is sent home early, Sanders’ Russian fur hat will be thrown into the ring: “In the event of an open 2024 Democratic presidential primary, Sen. Sanders has not ruled out another run for president, so we advise that you answer any questions about 2024 with that in mind.” Sanders spokesman Mike Casca confirmed the news: “While it’s frustrating this private memo leaked to the media, the central fact remains true, which is that Senator Sanders is the most popular officeholder in the country.”
If he really is the most popular officeholder in the country, that’s a sad commentary on the state of public awareness in these unhappy days, but it is no real surprise that Sanders, even at an age when many of his comrades have retired and are busy regaling their great-grandchildren with tales of their escapades on the barricades for the Worker (not any real ones, just the idealized Workers who serve as stalking horses for statism and authoritarianism), is contemplating another run for the White House (will he paint it red?).
There is more. Read the rest here.

Trump will be a zippy 77 in 2024. He’ll stare down parvenu De Santis.

This is pathetic, in any other line of work the fools would have been forced into retirement years ago.
It would seem there is no age limitation on greed and corruption.
tim gallagher says
These clowns, such as Biden, Sanders, Pelosi must have no other interests in life. just politics, politics, wielding power and more politics. They are pathetic. I’d say to them, get a life, find some other interest, your lives are going to over soon enough. Get out of the way and stop fouling up the US political system with your brainless, demented nonsense.
James Lincoln says
tim,
These clowns are addicted to power and money.
And there is never enough of either…
tim gallagher says
It is striking, James, how old some of your politicians are in the USA these days. You must be right about how power and money just never gets old for these very old people. I would have thought that they would have a ton of money already and would want to go off and relax and unwind and let fresher, younger politicians take the reins. Seeing Biden is disturbing these days. Do you think he has a clue where he is a lot of the time these days? He should certainly not be wielding any power these days, although I guess he really is just a puppet with other people having the power and merely having him mouth some words they tell him to say.

“Senator Sanders is the most popular officeholder in the country.”
Oh, yeah, like “religion of peace” describes islam and “mozlums just want to live like everyone else and be welcomed” is how mozlums devoted to the fake ‘prophet’ and fake ‘god’ really feel when they are scheming and hoaxing and whining and threatening. (his campaign guy is mozlum)
If sanders sat on a board at a fair and people could throw baseballs to make him splosh (Definition of splosh (Entry 2 of 3)
1: SPLASH
plunge with a great splosh into the great social and political agonies of our time
— V. S. Pritchett)
into the water below, it would be the most popular game at the fair.
What happened to “go quietly into the night”? Such arrogance, such greed, such evil is afoot today.
As for the money they scam from the taxpayers, as Rex Harrison said in a movie of long ago, “It’s never enough.”
Infidel says
Why not, if Joe Biden can run for re-election?

Don’t These People Ever Go Away? Now Bernie Wants to Run Again in 2024
………..
“Bernie” won’t ask DiFi to be his running mate, but not because of her age–but because he considers her far too conservative.
