Being a senator must be a very lucrative and cushy job. Senators Feinstein, McConnell and Strom Thurmond before them aren't relinquishing control until they go out in a pine box from old age.

These people aren't in charge. They are just puppets of the deep state. And they are rewarded handsomely with your tax dollars. See: Ukraine.
So they are independently incompetent and ignorant? Their 2 tiered justice system is a coincidence?
While I'm 100% wholly behind term and age limits, we need to address bureaucracy limits as well or none of it matters.
This is an embarrassment. WTF are we doing? These people are making decisions that impact hundreds of millions of people.
Personally, I'd feel better if he just came out an said he almost **** his pants.

It is absolutely insane that we have anyone over the age of 75 in power. Hell, even 70 is probably too old. It's stupid, irresponsible and need to be stopped.
if Trump were to win the Presidential election-
he would be 83 years old at the end of his term.
You should not be able to run for federal office if you are older than the social security retirement age at the time of election. I think that would get through before term limits.
Joe Biden isnt lasting another 4 years. republicans would be stupid to put another 80 year old on the ballot.
Wow. This is so incredibly sad. Dude is having a stroke right there. It's like the aging boxer with clear brain damage who keeps getting in the ring.
The Founding Fathers setup a great system but they clearly dropped the ball when it comes to term/age limits.
To be fair though, at the time, I'm sure they didn't expect politicians to stay in office (or even be alive) into their 80s.

They seem pretty adept at playing the "he didn't hear the question" game. Even he seems to be in on it, like he sensed another episode was oncoming. But did you see the look in his eyes? For quite a bit of time he clearly wasn't there.
Re-election? Are they ****ing kidding?

You don't need term limits if people would start voting for the name, and not for the letter after the name
I used to think that too. But the Founders had way too much confidence in the electorate. We are largely a society of low information voters who choose their candidates based on feelz, gotcha tweets, and popularity. We need term limits to protect us from ourselves.tysker said:

Without huge campaign finance reform, that's an impossibility. These dudes that are starting with millions as incumbents are really hard to take out.

pot..kettle.
I was sad to see this. We all get old. Politics aside, it is very sad to see people age and lose their mental capabilities.
I hope Mr McConnell retires and spends the rest of his days relaxing and spending time with his loved ones.
Old age sucks.

After both episodes, he returned to semi-lucid speaking after a few minutes. I don't think that would happen with a stroke. Is a petit mal seizure anything like the aphasia that Bruce Willis has? I think with that, you briefly lose the ability to form words and speak.Bregxit said:NoahAg said:

It's not a stroke. It's a petit mal (absence) seizure.

In what way would term limits reduce the problems of "low information voters who choose their candidates based on feelz, gotcha tweets, and popularity?"NoahAg said:I used to think that too.

Are you willing to term out Cruz and Cornyn especially considering Beto, Allred, or Gutierrez would likely win those seats?
Easy solution: eliminate primaries and install rank choice voting.Old May Banker said:tysker said:

Remove power from the parties and give the power back to the voters

My aunt passed away this year at 95 and she was mentally competent until she was 94.
So just to throw an arbitrary number out there makes no sense.
example. Should Fetterman be in office? how old is he?
Your aunt may have had the ability to hold conversations and understand jokes and recall memories and all that, but the ability to sit at a desk for hours and plow through hundreds of pages of dense documents while taking detailed notes and synthesizing all of the new info into a coherent understanding usable for intelligent policy development probably left her a decade or two before.

Feinstein is worse than he is but Mitch will be forced out first. Book it.

I really hate watching episodes like this. It's gut wrenching to see people who cannot formulate any coherent thought/sentence.

Now we're debating two guys that old or older BEFORE they get elected.

That's insanity.
lol, ridiculous. Time to remove these dementia problems.
