Look at Mitch McConnel - 80 and hot.
He visited Ukraine, and what was a 22 Billion aid proposal from the White House that got jacked up to 40 billion by Congress - Mitch wants this to go through ASAP. --xx-- I think I will take a day off on Nov, 20; Robinette's birthday, just to stay on the right side of history. |

Here's the case on Trump - 75 years young.
THE United States Department of Labor is to launch a full investigation into Donald Trump’s Twitter account today after it was revealed a 12-year-old Indian boy ghostwrote for the American business magnate for just 12 cents an hour. Mohammed Petal, who studies English in school, admitted to working for the Trump foundation since 2010, aged only seven. “My father applied for an online job advertisement for a ghost writer,” recalled Mohammed, speaking from his modest home in Bali. “I used to read a lot of books on American business and infrastructure so at the start I used to give him a hand. Then one day my father died after falling off the train on the way to visit my mother in hospital. “Since then I decided to continue his work on the Donald Trump twitter account”. Trump’s spokesman Michael Cohen, contacted his father’s email address with new twitter guidelines. “Mr. Trump was hoping to run for president at the time, so they had bullet points laid out for me to attack Barack Obama’s policies,” he added. “I felt it was a good time to tell them my father had died a year ago and that I was actually the one writing for them. Michael was angry at first, but then renegotiated payments with me from twenty cents an hour, to twelve. I didn’t mind as I enjoyed the work”. “I suppose it’s like what a method actor does – I pretend I’m a senile old white man with clarity issues and it all just flows out through me,” Mohammed said proudly. “My favourite tweet has to be my Little Wayne quote I did: ‘These hoes think they classy, well that’s the class I’m skippen’. “I wrote that while I was in school, but Mr. Trump later deleted it”. https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2015/04/28/child-labour-inquiry-as-indian-boy-12-admits-ghostwriting-tweets-for-donald-trump/ If true - then it explains the rollicking nature of Trump's tweets and why Trump does not want to renew his account. |

Conservative figures including former Trump administration officials, current members of Congress, professors, and media personalities have signed onto a statement lamenting what they call "an age of increasing national self-doubt" Published in National Review What about the World!!!!! Conservatives blaming leftist ideologies for bringing down national confidence - is ridiculous. At 75, relishing on the back of ghost writers aged 12 clearly indicates that at 80 - one is depending on the parietal lobe which is what matures during the 7 to 12 year childhood age. Joe is leaning on Jill who is leaning on ... The pre-frontal / frontal cortices are done for. Clearly, the thread Biden's mental challenge is tip of the National iceberg of old men who have no stake in the future. Sorry, no offence to seniors - I stopped driving and I'm 65. |

No one over 70 should be allowed to hold office.
Personally I think having that limit at 65 is better. It'd be much better to have younger people in office --> a new broom sweeps clean and young people are more in touch with society. It's generally a natural tendency to get more stuck in ways and become stagnant the older we get. Someone in the prime of his/her life is still more fluent & flexible. Having the limit at 65 would be much better. And if normally a 2nd term is possible, that shouldn't be done then either, or a shorter term, maybe 2 years, to prevent having an old geezer running things. |

And marrying a woman 20 years younger or, having a speech writer born in India (IT TAKES 1 GENERATION BORN & LIVING IN US FOR 2ND GEN TO AMERICANIZE GENUINELY) ... does not help As Dr Peter Jordan, clinical psychologist, Toronto said, 95% of our memories are not even our own - dead wood!!! Great man is living in cold war era. Half the problems, wouldn't exist if younger gen was in charge Imagine asking countries to go green at gun point. It's not failure of leadership, Its absence of leadership. Note: Included those pictures of Indians for levity not to hurt anyone here. |

Should politicians over 80 hold office? Yes, if that is who the electorate wants. It's up them, surely? In general, though, I think some of the world's gynocracies, such as in USA, are taking it too far. While a parliament can be useful having a spread of ages, a national leader needs to be both physically and mentally fit to cope with the position. |

I believe, once a person reaches mandatory
retirement age for civil service jobs, they should NOT be allowed to seek, or hold, any elected office. As well, I believe no person should be allowed to hold any single office, or any combination of offices, for more than eight years. At which point, retire, or find a real job. |

^^^^ exactly what I was saying.
Someone around 40 would be great as they have affinity with both younger and older generations and at that age should have obtained wisdom to be a good leader. Also, they'd hopefully not be too stuck and tied into a stale and also old constituency of supporters and sponsors which would definitely help too. Take Trump... his arrogance and sense of dominance was already clear when he had a full-size page printed in a big newspaper to try to sway people to get death penalty for the Central Park 5 youngsters. Outrageous and the newspaper should have refused to print that. It got even worse when Trump became president as he then again tried to get them death penalty!?!? The poor kids had gone through years of hell in jail while they were innocent. The brutality of that man was clear way before he was elected and he should never have made it into office. Someone that runs the country should be able to think outside of the box and consider that maybe he/she is wrong. |

To have a doddering individual with slow wit and reaction times as the leader of one’s country shows weakness. Age is only part of it, there are plenty of 80 plus with sharp minds and wit. With Joe it’s much more than his age. Queen Elizabeth is 96 I think. And very much in charge of her faculty’s.

Voters are responsible for electing politicians REGARDLESS of the age, young or old.
Many people in the US say "we need term limits" when in fact there are term limits for congress. House of Representative members terms are 2 years. Senate member terms are 6 years. The only way any politician remains in congress for more than ONE term is because they are reelected by voters. That being said IMO the two main reasons politicians remain in congress for multiple terms is because too many voters cast a ballot because there is a "D" or "R" next to the name or because it's a name they recognize. In Michigan we have U.S. Representative Debbie Dingell who is the widow of John Dingell, her predecessor in the seat. John Dingell holds the record as the longest-serving member of Congress in U.S., from 1955 until 2015.....his father held the seat from 1933 until 1955. That is more than 88 years a Dingell has had the seat....is that the result of well informed voters or name recognition? |
