People like Grassley, McConnell, & all the other Crypt Keepers in office are the top reason term limits are needed. I'm 59, & Grassley rep'd Iowa 7 yrs before I was born. He became a U.S. Senator when I was in junior high. 1981 is when Donkey Kong first appeared in arcades.

Grassley went to the Iowa house in Jan 1959. I was 11 months old. That fuck is still ruing my life.

Proving that you can be the senator from Iowa if you can just stay alive. It’s also the Stom Thurmond rule…

And I sincerely hope, with all of my heart, that my fellow voters won't. It would be the state's best comeuppance ever. Only problem is, he is not up for reelection until '28. So many things can happen between now and then, most likely he won't make it until then.🤷
