I never spent that much time harping on Biden’s age because I had been following his career for a long time and he always prone to saying stupid and horrible things, babbling like an idiot and generally acting like he needed a keeper.
Yes, there were clearly age-related or medical issues, but as Elaine said to Jerry, “You know, I often wonder how you’ll be like when you’re senile. I think it will be a smooth transition for you.”
After all the fuss about Biden’s mental capacity, his party replaced him with Kamala, and I defy anyone to argue that it was much of an improvement in functionality.
Despite being much younger than her boss, Kamala had trouble forming coherent sentences, understanding the policies she was supposed to be talking about, and having consistent views about much of anything.
Biden and Kamala may have been decades apart, but the underlying issue is that they’re both dumb narcissists who got by on the lowest common denominator and aren’t qualified for any kind of position of responsibility. Like a lot of other politicians.
That’s why setting age limits for political office is dumb.
An aging political class in Washington is prompting fresh calls for forcing older officeholders to step aside in favor of younger faces.
Working well past retirement age is an area of rare bipartisan agreement in Washington. President Trump will turn 80 this year, and Joe Biden left office at age 82, both breaking Ronald Reagan-era records for age in office. In Congress, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) is 92 years old, while Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) is 87. It isn’t unusual for members to die on the job, as three did in 2025 alone.
Rahm Emanuel, a 66-year-old Democrat and Washington veteran, recently called for a mandatory retirement age of 75 for presidents, cabinet officials, members of Congress and federal judges.
His brother, the Obamacare architect, suggested no one should live past 75 in an essay titled, “Why I Hope to Die at 75,”
There’s no mandatory retirement age in the Constitution. The American people have the right to elect idiots, old and young, and unless they’re completely incapable of getting out of bed in the morning, like the country’s first PhD socialist president, and turn over the government to their wife, then that’s that.
The problem with Biden wasn’t that he was senile. Or even dumb. It was that the entire administration and media chose to lie for him until it became more convenient to tell the partial truth. The institutional failure there wasn’t dependent on one person’s brain and can’t be fixed with an age limit.
There are people who shouldn’t be serving at any age and people who can serve at 90. Yes, everyone slows down, but some never leave the gate. And when they have an entire infrastructure of liars bragging about how smart they are, then what we have is a ‘coup’ in which the people we voted for don’t run the country. And that’s the real problem.
Presidents, senators and dogcatchers can be dumb, they can be old, but they need to be the ones making the decisions.
When they’re not, it’s a tyranny of bureaucrats using morons as stalking horses.
Yes, fake news media trolls and slimy bureaucrats are a much bigger bane on politics that stupid D-Bags. I’d add the moneyed interests who fund and collude the retards to the short list of America’s worst enemies. Illegal aliens, islamopithecines, trannies and insurrectionists wouldn’t exist in America if it weren’t for the Axis powers of media trolls, unelected bureaucrats and moneyed interests.
We Americans are letting perfectly good trees and lamp posts go to waste. Give the Axis criminals “a fair trial follwed by a first class hangin.”
And Ezekiel Emmanuel needs to die right now, not at age 75. 68 is 68 years too long on this Earth for that human sleaze disease. And take his equally toxic brothers with him. Not that Zeke really does want to die at age 75. Diseases like him want to outlive the black plague.
I love your lynching tropes this Monday morning. Now you add lamp posts or trees. Like impressionist paintings images.
We should have art galas dedicated to those. Active art shows would be best.
Isn’t it telling that even though Trump is in the files tens of thousands of times, accused of horrific things and no one talks about it. America has Fallen.
What files would those be, you fantasist?
You are an idiot. Trump called the cops on Epstein.
The psalmist writes that wisdom begins with fear of God.
Wherever you place others or yourself on the scale of smart to dumb, having no fear of God means no guiding moral discipline, just soulless ego and meaningless ambition.
Or as Joe Biden would say, “The Palmist…”
“… it’s a tyranny of bureaucrats using morons as stalking horses.”
That pretty much sums up the US government for the last 30+ years. Lately, we’ve taken to calling them the deep state which is a nicety to lessen the blow to our sensibilities but never the less, it’s the equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig and calling it a pretty girl.
Personally, I’m put-off by the term “deep state’ because it glosses over the fact that it’s as you suggest, bureaucratic tyranny: un-elected, unimpeachable and virtually immune to being fired. It’s not what this country’s founders intended.
Yes but Alzheimer Joke Beijing Bidumb IS dumb, and always has been, on top of all his contemptible character vices.
If I recall correctly, Obama once said to the effect that if there’s a way to eff something up, Biden will find it. Members of his own party once said that Biden is the dumbest man in the senate.
And then the American people [enough of them] voted for him to be president. That the 2020 election was rigged” and the democrats cheated is a moot point. Biden became the 46th president and history will reflect that.
Tells us something about Delaware voters, who’re obviously stump stupid, just like Slow Joe..
When the Constitution was written the average life expectancy was less than 40. Granted Joe is on the down side of the Bell Curve but where else could he get a job?
Biden could get a job at any university in the Western world because they’ve all degraded themselves to his moron level.
Good article — politicians are usually just puppets — the real power lies with their puppetmasters hidden in plain sight behind the media curtain.
And despite their big age difference, Kamala’s on the same cognitive level as Biden. Why? Because long-term hard-core drug abuse and years of chronic alcoholism ravage the brain and body. I just happened to have been very close to (too) many people during my life who lived like this for way too long then burned out their body and their brain and died years before normal lifespan (suicide in slow motion). Kammy may be 61 but alcoholism has left her cognitively like someone over 80 and physically she looks like a train wreck right out of the dypso ward in the movie The Lost Weekend. How did a creature like her ever become vice-president of the United States of America?
Idiots are intentionally chosen by the real power who pull their strings. In addition to being stupid, they must also be unscrupulous and natural born liars. In recent memory the population was at least intelligent enough that they had to put people with at least a veneer of intelligence (like Obama) but now there is just absolutely no respect and they pick straight up brainless morons. The battle can be fought with the 24-hour news cycle and algorithms, fraud and cheating.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while.. I taught for many years and never had a “staff.” 20 -25 children that need management. Why in hell do the people we voted for have the staffers doing the work we voted the representative to do. Stupid people? It looks like my cats have more brains.
if we could ever get the federal government back to the Constitution it wouldn’t matter how dumb they are. they could only do limited damage. but we know that will never happen so we have to watch mental midgets slowly destroy what used to be a great country.
“if we could ever get the federal government back to the Constitution…”
That’s wishful thinking because you’d have better odds of winning the lottery 3 times in a row than the federal government ever getting back to the Constitution. Getting back to the Constitution does not comport with their agenda.
Besides, that would be the equivalent of “un-breaking” a broken egg. That’s reverse entropy. When and where has that ever happen?
Watching “mental midgets destroy this country” is only happening because we the people are to a large extent, content to do nothing other than be passive spectators to our own demise. I sincerely wish that wasn’t true but unfortunately, it is.
The term intellectual democrat is an oxymoron. Dumb oxes. The glaring and blaring difference is with President Donald J. Trump. That’s the light in the room that scurries the cockroaches. Dumb down and get in line doesn’t work anymore.
The same applies to term limits. Term limits will do nothing to stop the slow collapse of America. Term limits will get you more theft, more quickly, by more elected grifters. At the end of its collapse Rome had 25 emperors in 25 years, how did those term limits work out for Rome?
The crucial solution is defunding the universities. The destructive ideas that are destroying America (and the West) come from the universities.
“The present state of the world is not the proof of philosophy’s impotence, but the proof of philosophy’s power. It is philosophy that has brought men to this state—it is only philosophy that can lead them out.” – Ayn Rand
You’re right. Truth is, nothing is going to change until the incentive to run for elected office changes. Nowadays it’s all about the money. Eliminate that incentive and perhaps we’ll get people running for elected office who truly want to serve the people and not themselves and their sponsors.
If I may make a suggestion: limit congressional sessions to 6 months out of the year and only pay them for that time only. Any and all expenses they incur during that period must be itemized and report on an expense report and submitted to the OMB for approval if they seek reimbursement for expenses beyond per diem. Moreover, reimbursable items must be on a pre-approved list with caps on the reimbursement amounts. If the items are not on the list then they eat the cost; not the tax payers.
In summary, hold congress financially liable for any spending outside of their basic salary + Per diem which is only applicable while congress is in session. Outside of that, they can pay their own expenses.
That’s how things work in the “real” world. That reality need to be imposed on congress sooner rather than later.
I’d support term limits by Roman Empire styled executions.
I meant “assassinations..” And Pedo Joe, Heels Up Harris, Bareback Hasbeen Osama and the Clinthogs should all be retroactively assassinated.
In 1976 I was complaining to my boss about the presidential candidates. He said the problem with politicians is that they’re just like us.
We’re peanut farmers and guys who fall down a lot? 😛
