    I love having an Alzheimer’s patient as president. We have a minimum age for president and there should be a maximum age too.

      Age is a bad criterium. Some people become degenerates at 50. Others are degenerates during all their lives.

      But I know a secret question to detect geniuses: What is bigger, bela or covfefe?

      I think whatever the average life expectancy is at the time of elections, the maximum age you can be president would be 10 years less. That way they have a decade to sit in the garbage world they created

        I think the maximum age for any federal office should be tied to the average national life expectancy in some way, so that if these fucks want to keep their office they have a vested interest in passing policy that makes life expectancy go up.

          This is the first time I’ve seen a comment about upper limits on age I could see making some amount of sense. Most of the other stuff boils down to bUt tEh gErOnTaCrAcY which is just so tiresome.

          This is something that this futurist can get behind, for sure. I am watching these current asshats working directly against increasing the average life expectancy right when I think we are right on the cusp of making massive breakthroughs.
