Mitch McConnell just froze up during a presser

Very strange that people complain about a problem and refuse to do anything about it.

I stand by my proposal for a Constitutional Amendment age limiting President’s and Vice President’s to 70 years old by the last day of the term sought and Congressmen to 80 years old by the last day of the term sought.

Drop it 10 on both and I’m with you.

I’d think 70 is good for congress and president. You can’t enter an election after that age.

After brain injuries in the elderly can have sudden misfiring of electrical signals in the brain. Its called a seizure. This is often called focal impaired-awareness seizures. My dad used to get these after his brain injury. The symptoms are very much what we saw with McConnel today. Again, its time for the guy to step down, let them appoint someone to fill his seat. Its not likely to get better at this point.

Suppose that happens. Who would be the options for a successor as minority leader?

@Tom_Ch

A few.

Term limits for congress
Congress can’t give themselves a raise
Civic tests for all politicians

I have a few more but those are the biggies.

How about a Civics test for voters?

@conan

Than make a amendment that you need to be 25 years of age and pass basic mid level civics to vote.

Right?

of course voting and senatoring are two completely different things.

Correct. Senatoring would not be a problem were it not for the stupid masses who vote them in.

@biggestal99

@conan

So let craft amendment to protect them from their own stupidity.

voting is a right or a citizen. being a senator is not.

There are conditions on voting now … a couple more surely can’t hurt.

[Samm]

@biggestal99

@conan

But just not for who you want to…right?

lol. every citizen has a right to vote. no matter how stupid they are.

being stupid doesnt strip you of you rights as a citizen.

If you’re going to complain about those who are elected, you have to look at those who put them there.

@Tom_Ch

Why not? There is such a thing as too old to be president or senator. Don’t you think?

We need term limits not age limits.

You said masses are stupid did you not? So let craft amendment to protect them from their own stupidity.

Actually the masses ARE stupid.

Republicans and Democrats.

The average American is dumb as a box of rocks and 50% are dumber than that.

That is why we ended up with Trump v Biden and might again.

But it is not really so much a matter of protecting them from their own stupidity. Stupid will be stupid.

But it is a matter of combatting issues such as the power of incumbency, combined with the natural impulse of electoral inertia, that allows zombies such as Feinstein, McConnell, Grassley, Byrd, Biden, etc., etc., etc., ad naseum to get and maintain offices that they clearly are either not fit to hold or no longer fit to hold.

The Constitution already “protects from ourselves” with things such as MINIMUM age limits for office (25 for Congress, 35 for President). So it is no big deal, actually no deal at all, to set additional limits for holding office.

If the Founders thought it okay to “protect us from ourselves”, then it is certainly not improper for current population to do the same.

All true, but when the Founders wrote the rules, only white men over 18 with property of a certain value were allowed to vote.

beautiful

amazing no democrats are ever afflicted by such things

“we want younger more vibrant representatives of our govt!!”

@biggestal99

the masses are stupid. how do you elect someone like Feinstein from California? stupidity know no party.

Right?

I’d add a physical challenge. Limp wrists need not apply.

Brandon does that every time they send him out.

The new normal.

We’re in this together.

[Samm]

@conan

He’s now saying he’s find. I’m sorry that is not find. When your brain just shuts down like that…that is not normal IMO.

Also noticed his eyes. I think he realized he lost it but wasn’t able to really comprehend what’s happening.

He was hospitalized for a concussion after tripping and falling last March. I wonder if it is related.

We need term limits not age limits

If we had a more accessible, easier, consistent, secure, and verifiable election process across the 50 states, we would not need term or age limits.

[GWH]

The filubusteringest now 4th longest serving senator ever was replaced by Lindsey Graham. I think we can all agree this requires more thought than “cut em off at 70.”

i agree but enough about fork truck pallet stacks of fresh unfolded ballots at 3:15 am in crucial districts
