Kamala was born in 64. She's a boomer. Also, GTFO with Generation Jones. She's a boomer. X-ers are those who came after the pill became omnipresent after the mid 60s. I am one of those (born in 77). We are relatively few in numbers in comparison to the boomers. Because of the pill. Also GTFO with Generation Jones. She's a boomer.

Trump and Biden also aren't boomers. They predate the boomers. They were born during or shortly after WW2. That's usually called the silent generation. Trump being part of the silent generation is of course ridiculous. But he's the exception of the rule, I guess. But both are born very late in that generation, so they are its last remnants I guess. Soon they will all be gone.

Wiki says Gen X is 1965 - 1980. Kamala was born Oct 1964. Boomer.

This headline makes me incredibly happy.

I mean given the passage of time and human mortality this was almost guaranteed to happen at some point.

Let’s eat the rich. Starting with Murdoch, Bezos, and Musk. Then let’s send the entire GOP to a for-profit state prison.
