Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) called out Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Thursday for ignoring Donald Trump's plans to use the federal government to exact revenge on his enemies if he becomes president again.
At a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the weaponization of the government, Plaskett opened by wondering why Chairman Jordan had turned a blind eye to Trump's threats.
Plaskett accused Republicans of wanting to "ramp up their own misinformation campaign before the 2024 election."
"They want to distract from the actual threat of the weaponization of government on the American people. That is Donald Trump," she explained. "He has vowed to use the Department of Justice to investigate his political enemies. He has said that those who oppose him should be executed for treason. He has called his political opponents cockroaches, vermin, said that immigrants are poisoning American society."

we need to throw out ALL persons in congress over age of 65 and not allow anyone to run for office (including Pres / Vice Pres/ congress) after that age.

As you know, to make that law would require extensive re-writing of our Constitution.
(I would agree to such a law, but am not holding my breath)
Add the Supreme Court to that list.
