Yes there is. Retire!

Grassley hasn’t been working “for Iowa” in a long time! He needs to go.

Let’s put it in front of the American people on a ballot and see what the voters want. This is one of many reasons that Congress is so inept. Their smart people that can’t get a damn thing done.

Feinstein vs grassley for presidential election. It would be awesome.

The Africa dictators mindset.. The USA senate has alot in common with African leaders.. old people clinging to power..lol

Nobody over 90 should be in any government job, least of all the US Congress! Frankly I think anyone over 80 should step down. Grassley is stating that there’s not one person in Iowa who could fill his position and do as well or better? It’s an insult to all his constituents.

Yeah I'm older and slower. I got hired at my job because of experience and knowledge of the job. I love my job, but I do not want to be working in another five years and I won't be as old as those people.

Vote him OUT. He is evil,America can do better then this.40 years there and nothing done in that time. VOTE him OUT. FREASH MINDS ARE MUCH BETTER.. 40 YEARS TO LONG,NOTHING TO SHOW!

Sadly, he know what else to do with his life!

Get out of my state.

Uerete-may a-yay

Charles Grassley was first elected to office in 1958.

Peak fuckupery.

I don't live in Iowa, but it seems like he's done shit for that state since 1842.

For Gods sake retire you are part of the problem!!!!!

That's crazy talk..🤔

40 years is way to much vote this clown out. (But it’s Iowa)

His expiration date has expired. Think Iowa can do better.

Attention, Iowa! Do you not have one human who might be a better advocate for you? iowa lowapolitics

He can’t even grasp technology….his generation’s time is over. Retire Chuck…you’re too old.

Should be age limits for running for an official position. If you can be too young, you can be too old!! He's too old!!! Let a young person have the job and salary.

If you couldn't get stuff done for Iowa in 40years doubt the next 6 is going to be any different

A lot to do for America too. Good luck. Rather retire and enjoy the grandchildren.

For fuck sake!

88 years old. Old bag of farts. Go home and eat your prunes and porridge.

ChuckGrassley has been in elected offices since 1959. He has had decades - literally generations - to improve things he still whines about (Rx prices, immigration & border security, taxes, etc). Chuck is an obvious example of our need for TermLimits & a maximum age of service.

Unnecessary comma. Brutal

For Iowa? Really?

Grassley give it up! RETIRE FOR GOD’S SACK!

Doesn't have to be term limits. We have minimum ages for office. Could easily have maximum ages as well. No one 80 may run, or be appointed, for 1 idea. So oldest a Senator could be is 86. We have far too many elderly MOCs with absolutely no self awareness or common sense.

Go sit down Chuck. We need young members to step forward.

Retire please!

I think it's time for the old ones to go. I'm not meaning this as ageist, I'm meaning it as a sliding scale from progressive, through conservative, to fossilized. He can't relate to his constituents.

Term limits, ChuckGrassley. Term limits. Retire.

WHERE IN Iowa CAN I GET SOME OF THAT 🤯CHUCK WEED YOU GUYS BEEN SMOKING ON FOR THE LAST 🤯 40 YRS Iowa ChuckGrassley

A gerontocracy that can’t let go Filled with decrepit old relics trying to deal with a world they don’t understand.

He is already wrapped to his chest, with the mummy tape. Must not be able to handle retirement. Kind of sad.

Is your mind and body young enough to do it?

Let it be a Dem Senator, you wouldn't say shit. Cept fluff pieces about how great they are. You wouldn't dare put it in the headline how long they have been in office. TermLimitsNow

You know POTUS has been there for 48, and if he serves his full term it would be 52? Try harder to appear 'fair'.

You should’ve retired 20 years ago.

Just stop.

Iowa, think about it.What happens if he dies after being re-elected and aDemocrat is appointed to that seat?

The only thing left to do is ⚰️⚱️

Just what we need the same old same old

You all know the GOP game plan. Once he is able to muster a win in midterm then he will resign so the governor can appoint another senator. This is how 25% of GOP senators came to the chamber

WHY!

He should move on and let someone young and with more energy take over, but that’s up to Iowa

I don’t mean to hate on old people but just like there is a minimum age there should be a maximum age to be in a position with that much power

TERM LIMITS

He doesn't do anything for Iowa or the country

Example 1A for age and term limits.

Need term limits

This guy is definitely sitting on some secrets Paterno-style.

I thought the conspiracy was to release a virus on the world that got rid of the useless people who have aged out of society. Guess it was made in ___ by ___?

Retire and takeep Jim jordan with you

Term limits and age limits are needed ASAP

Oh lawd 😂

This is the epitome of ridiculousness. He already appears demented.

History will not remember this man is very honorable. Maybe when he was younger not now. Total total obstructionist.

Has survived COVID and a failed insurrection. Might be time to let go here.

He looks embalmed.

He’s not doing it for Iowa; he’s doing it for himself.

Okay cool Iowa Safe R seat. Well time to tweet DNC national party do not invest in Iowa races at all in 2022. Not worth the cost or effort. 😎

to old to think straight RETIRE

Term Limits.

Chuck and Diane need to retire.

Go home. Why are all these old people running this country? Be great to have other people involved other than old, white dudes.

Stop. Electing. These. People. 88 !

😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭

Time for mandatory Retirement Age in both House and Senate 72 years old.

adonsports When he says a lot more to do he really means doing nothing for 6 more years.

There should be a law to keep this from happening!!!

Retire, RETIRE, RETIRE. it's time for younger, smarter DEMOCRSTS to take your seat. Nothing ever gets accomplished by Republicans

Who said dinosaurs are extinct?

What a joke.

That's his choice to run. And our choice to vote him out.

The question remains: Is ChuckGrassley useful?

An 88 year old Senator DEFINITELY cares about leaving a strong country and habitable planet for the next generation.

How about age limits. Too old Republican or Democrat.

Eventually, he plans to retire back to Transylvania.

TermLimits

Damn! If people in Iowa elect him again, I'm gonna be convinced that voters Iowa, especially Republicans, don't even know what to do, they have no political plan, they just want outrage.

Yeah, ok Chuckie. 🤦‍♂️

Out, out! it’s time to go home for the sake of the country , just once!

66 years that's how long he been playing around in Iowa politics, look like he planning on dying in it too, the selfish old bastards need give someone else a chance, but that power is hard to let go of so it seems, I bet Iowa had billions funnel to that state over the years.

Term limits! 88 and 40 years in the senate…? Time to go home

Imagine being a senator longer than most of your constituents have been alive... senators should not serve more than 2 terms!

We need term limits. These people are addicted to power.

🤮

Because what else does he have to do before he dies?

Guess “Matlock” reruns weren’t enough to convince him to retire.

It way past the time to enact age limits. Say what u want, we force people to retire everyday. This is absurd, and it really shows how absolutely out of touch HE is thinking this is a good idea. Step aside and let someone else step up.

Tell bro to die lmao. When he was born in the late 30s. He was raised by the generations of the Civil War and Reconstruction 😂😂. This man has no comprehension of the world he’s in. I’d love to see him work an iPhone; stop letting wizard age humans make decisions for us.

the guy always votes against anything that could benefit iowa

In office since 1981. The same year Reagan became president and Post-it notes came out. TermLimits for all member of government.

Question for Iowa. Is there no one else that wants this job? I’m sure there must be thousands with great ideas, and a desire to serve the public interest in your state. ChuckGrassley Grassley

When term limits become a thing, aka... “The Grassley got Chucked” law.

We have to stop electing people who will not be around for the “future” they are creating.

We are living in a gerontocracy.

Want the same old same old from government? Keep electing these relics! Should have term limits!

Term & age limits are needed.

Wtf

We need term limits for everyone! 🤦🏻‍♂️🙏🏼🙏🏼

“For” or “to” Iowa?

And then there’s the God Complex….

The Mugabe 'sit put' syndrome is also abroad, clearly as Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley in US says he will seek an eighth term in 2022. The 88-year-old, who has been in the Senate for 40 years. Hmmm!

Are there no young interested ? You know about 69..😂😂😂 why is it always old men..most are so stuck in there ways.. Nothing ever changes...

_Politics Unreal that people in Iowa vote for him

Again for the term limits crowd, amend the Constitution if you want term limits. Or better still, his constituents could vote him out.

Term limits

The GOP “we need to have term limits..” Grassley 40 year vet.

Read: 'There is a lot more cash to rake in for my grandchildren.'

As an American I'll say we need term limits, as an Iowan I'll scream it at the top of my lungs. I've referred to him as OlGetOffMyLawnGrassley for about a decade now... Really wish that one would catch on.

The avg age of congress currently is the oldest it has ever been in the history of this country.

It’s time to retire!

LIMIT SENATE TERMS.

If you’ve been in a job for 40 years and still have “a lot more to do” for your constituents, you’ve failed. And heaven help people who elect an 88 year old to another term. And yes, CA, you, too.
