    Is the challenge staying in office a hundred years after you should have retired?

      Yes! That’s how you get naming rights on the project.

      i’ll explicicate for you… she got richer than she should have for performing ‘government service’ by exploiting insider information and using it to buy and sell in the stock market.

      she did not protect our democracy.

      she did not codify row v wade.

      she did not politely show rbg the door.

      she did not battle moscow mitch for garland’s court seat.

      should i go on? because i could.
