We speak of term limits which we know will never happen, hell there doesn’t even see, to be a reasonable movement demanding it. The more I look at the bags of meat the more I realize there should also be a AGE limit.
They have an age requirement to enter offices why not to leave. You can’t tell me that an octogenarian is as sharp and even in touch with the times. Imagine giving your 80 yo grandfather an iPad for the first time then letting him design the manual in which the entire country uses.
Term limits, age limits. Out with RESIDENT biden
Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" outlined the simple logic for limiting political office. What is happening today clearly proves he was right. If terms are short, it will be less tempting for the corrupt to seek office. Also, it will be less tempting for a corrupting person or group to try to buy or blackmail someone in that is already in office.

That is a tough one. I mean I know people in their 40's mentally unfit to run a country so ?.
Well part of the problem is NO ONE is supposed to have the power that the feds have now. But more to your point, I see nothing wrong with having old people as congressmen, senators, and presidents, as long as there aren't dementia issues.
They have a wealth of experience to pull from, and as I get older I see how general life experience can translate into a surprising number of areas, it's especially noticeable when you work with youth.
No, you don't want gramps being a technical writer, but hopefully gramps is wise enough to recognize his shortcomings and lean on others expertise. Honestly if you just gave an iPad to most people, they'd only discover like 40-50% of the features. If you needed a manual written, you'd really need a specialist to do it.
The problem isn't their age, the problem is they lack ethics, morals, and convictions. These are things that can affect any age group.
As an old person I agree. Moreover I would point out that our education and mindset was firm before all the NWO indoctrination started and modern woke education was turning brains into TV receptors, and consequently we have a better perspective on history developing because we remember a completely different world. Of course this experience factor is the main argument against term limits. I would suggest that if lawmakers didn't have so many perks normal people don't, fewer greedy scoundrels would be attracted, and if they faced the same consequences for their actions and shortcomings (e.g. being demented) as nirmal people, they would be weeded out.
Also, the problem now is that they hide their infidelities from the public. Seems like being on any kind of dementia medication should bar you from holding public office. But I don't know how that could be made legal due to privacy laws.
The floors of house and the senate went from being where debate happened to where theater is performed. The decision making moved from in public in from of everyone to backroom deals. We, as the American public allowed this to happen.
As for the dementia meds, even that should be ok, as long as it can keep everything under control, but requires a populace to be engaged and watching. That's what Q is all about, MAGA represents the people that are waking up. The red pill really is a apt metaphor, as you come out of the matrix only to realize that things really are FUBAR.
No. Trump is 70s and he is an energy bomb. Oldies need less sleep really.
Is Trump too old to serve in our new utopia in which the elderly are forbidden?
I see your point, however, I wasn't really thinking in terms of Trump. I was thinking in general. I mean something has to change right? We have the same damn people in office, enriching themselves and their friends for decades. I'm not sure what the answer is but I bet this sub could come up with more viable options than the cretin that "represent" us.
Good ideas and things to think about appreciate those who responded. Imagine getting different ideas and opinions from people and finding a common solution....I can see a lot of ideas that are different than mine but that make sense.
60 is a good enough number for an upper age limit.
-Term limits. -There also needs to be no pay for serving, it should be strictly voluntary. -They should only be in session a few times a year, not year round/career. -Housing should be provided for them while in DC and it should be a cold, depressing, prison style dormitory. Meals provided as well and it should only be the bare minimum in nourishment. -Weekly drug and alcohol testing should be rendered on each politician and if found to have substances in their system should be automatic grounds for immediate removal from office. No appeals, no trying to weasel out of it, you’re gone. -Their bank accounts should be monitored closely in case someone is trying to bribe or lobby the politicians with money. Any suspicious activity would mean automatic removal from office. -Any politician convicted of crimes or treason will have their assets seized and their families exiled permanently. -There is no exemptions on whatever crappy laws they pass and their healthcare will be paid for out of their own pockets.
I could go on and on, but I’ll stop here.
Lets just go back to the articles of confederation then. That seems to be the direction you are heading in. Better yet, just break up the union, that'll help keep the malaise is the People Republic of California and the other coastal states from spreading.
In fact lets just dissolve government altogether. People can self organize into whatever groups they want, associate with whomever they want, whenever they want.
It'll be the ultimate in freedom!
