Pelosi seeks ambassadorship to Italy if GOP wins House majority in midterms

[OhYeah84]

She's what...82 and at the end of her life essentially? That's pure greed and arrogance not allowing someone younger to shape the relationship between the 2 countries.

82? Have these dimwits never heard of retirement age?

And in private sector you are forced into retirement at what 65/70? (Unless it is nepotism or you own the company)

did the Dems just copy the ANC?

Dems and ANC are both the same party. Share the same policies and ideologies. Both full-blown socialist parties. What we had the past 20 years in SA is now happening in the US.

Before this country fell to socialism, the private sector let everyone go. No exception. But, if your knowledge or experience was still required, they would have given you temporary employment in an advisory position. Have seen this in all sectors across the board.

I mean what does the ANC do with its members that are too useless,
become the Ambassador to some sunny place,
or if they are disliked, somewhere cold, like Iceland.

Like Tony Leon, Douglas Gibson, Sheila Camerer and Sandra Botha?

Holy moly, politicians over 65 should really just be forced to retire - yes that includes Biden and Trump. And anyone asking for a cushy ambassadorial job should be sent as ambassador to a random shithole country - representing your country is a service and honour, not a holiday.
