Democratic members of Congress know they have an age problem—and it’s hurting them.

At a certain age, people stop working. And at an even more advanced age, people stop driving. It obviously shows that even the sharpest of minds age. So why the hell are people allowed to work until they literally expire. We need age limits for the government. I'm sick of old people so far removed from today's culture making rules based on Jim Crow era guidelines. Our last two presidents have been barely functional, dementia-riddled puppets AT BEST.

I was confused, because Obama wasn't dementia riddled.....then I remembered Biden existed.

Thats how forgetable his term was.

[-] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

With the notable exception of Obama, every US President since 1993 has been born in the 1940s. Thats over 3 decades with presidents born at almost the same time (most in the same year).

Yeah, but Clinton took office 30+ years ago. Bush took office 25+ years ago.

I get that they're old today, but that would be like 20 years from now saying Obama is too old to be president. Which 20 years from now WOULD be true, except that his term was 2009-2017.

Biden and trump? Yeah, I fully get why they're too old.

Yeah, but Clinton took office 30+ years ago

And is a little over a month YOUNGER than the dementia riddled fascist currently infesting the office.

What is this? Bots' first sarcasm? What perceived cleverness are you responding to?

[-] wesdym@mastodon.social -2 points 1 week ago

@ScientifficDoggo None. That's the point. It's called 'sarcasm'. It's a human concept.

[-] ScientifficDoggo@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

So, to be clear, you just chose to be a sarcastic ass for absolutely no reason? Do you just @ people to take Ls? Is this some sort of online masochism or are you genuinely this unfunny?
