It looks like the two new Congress Critters, (the outspoken darlings Ms.Ocasio-Cortez and Ms. Talib), have been denied places on the Congressional Committee's that they so much wanted to be on. With so much fawning from the media, they thought they were running the place already, but it looks like the seasoned Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi has shown them otherwise.

Pelosi would be insane to put either of those nuts in a place of responsibility.

But I believe she is nuts, so we'll see.

This is always the case Nothing new. Longevity brings power in the House in either party. How many new Republicans were placed on important committees?

Looks like AOC got a committee spot after all....

Ocasio-Cortez set to join Maxine Waters on key financial services committee

AOC has been anointed.

She is too young for the presidency (she is 29) but is being groomed for another day.

Besides the Constitution is a "living breathing" thing and requirements for the presidency can and should be change from 38 to - well who knows.

As the millennials push for lowering the voting age to 16 (seriously), why not move to lower age for congress to 20, senate to 25, and President to 30? Somehow I see it all coming.

With maturity being reached at a much later age than in the time of the founders, and common sense being all too rare, seems we need stricter limits than we have, not looser. Too bad there are no clear restrictions barring such as these two.
