Geriatric Washington (13)
But you gotta admit... Trump is actually looking better with age.
It's probably because he has a beautiful wife. Beautiful wives ALWAYS make me look better too.

CossackCat: Bernie Sanders: Born September 8, 1941, just turned 78.
Joe Biden, born November 20, 1942, he will soon be 77
Donald Trump born in June 14, 1946, he is 73
Hillary Clinton born, October 26, 1947, she'll soon be 72.
Elizabeth Warren, born
June 22, 1949, she is 70.
In all honesty.. they should, shut up, go play golf and go home and take a nap.
Our founding fathers were how old? 22 to 42. Oh and life was so SUPPOSEDLY much harder too without all those indoctrination centers, pharmaceutical companies and Twitter.
But they sure as hell accomplished alot.
Geriatric Washington has too many health issues and drama.

Should I write to my Congressman? Every politician has 2 ends: a thinking end and a sitting end. And since his job is to keep his seat ... why bother?Campaign for office.

Opinion Piece: Part 1 of 2
Bloomberg + Sanders + Biden + Trump + Warren = 374. What's wrong with this 2020 picture?
Research shows older adults are slower to conceptualize problems & make changes when circumstances shift.
How would that work in the Situation Room
Hallelujah. In Michael Bloomberg, Democrats have just what they need: another presidential candidate who was alive when Harry Truman occupied the White House.
The former New York mayor and billionaire business tycoon is 77
Until Trump's victory in 2016, Americans had never elected a president who was 70 upon entering office. The age of the world's most powerful person is critically important, & most voters acknowledge it. Yet in the 2020 campaign, the issue is largely ignored. Why?
Back on Oct. 1, when 78-yr-old Sanders suffered a heart attack, it set off a flurry of worry about aging politicians. But just a couple of wks later, with the Vermont senator looking robust & his usual frisky self in a 3-hr debate, opinion flipped. Sanders, many said, was living proof that age doesn't matter. In truth, neither Sanders' heart incident nor his declaration soon after that "I am back!" changed anything about the physical & mental odds facing older candidates
We tend to evaluate politicians' fitness to serve based on the image they present in public. By that measure, Sanders looks vigorous now that he's back on the trail; Sen. Warren, 70, bounds around the stage with pep in her steps; Trump, 73, seems tireless delivering lengthy speeches at campaign rallies; & former Vice Pres Joe Biden, 76, appears lean & fit
An age when odds turn against you
Then again, just a few days before being stricken in Las Vegas, Sanders seemed as healthy as ever. Trump's tan from a bottle might help project an image of physical well-being, but his actions in office have prompted many to question his mental health. Biden has fumbled badly in campaign appearances, placing his cognitive faculties in doubt. Only Warren, youngest of the leading septuagenarians, shows no outward signs of aging, but even she is at a point in life when the odds turn against you
It’s not surprising that Trump supporters aren’t focusing on the president’s age. With impeachment proceedings dominating the news & the White House staff unraveling, age becomes the kind of thing the late George Carlin spoke of in his comedy weather forecast when he said: The radar is picking up Russian ICBMs, so I wouldn't sweat the thundershowers
On the Democratic side, the goal of defeating Trump is so dominant that little else seems to matter. When Pew researchers asked Democratic voters about age, 97% said it would be better to have a presidential candidate younger than 70. Yet, the Real Clear Politics polling average shows about 2/3 of Dem primary voters supporting candidates 70 or older — Biden, Sanders & Warren
This disconnect might be due to voters’ understanding that people do age differently. They see vibrant public servants like House Speaker Pelosi, 79, & Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 86, & dismiss concerns about the age of presidential contenders
Uneasy feeling: Biden isn't the boringly reassuring candidate Democrats were hoping for
Yet, the science of aging is clear-cut regarding factors that affect a president’s ability to serve. As people grow older, their ability to multitask diminishes, as does their recall of new or recently learned information. Here is one particularly pointed observation from a paper on aging by the noted author Dr. Diane Howieson: “Older adults tend to be slower in conceptualizing problems & less ready to change strategies when circumstances shift.” How would that work in the White House Situation Room?

Opinion Piece: Part 2 of 2
Former President Jimmy Carter, a marvel of clear-headedness at 95, said recently that by the time he reached 80, “I don’t believe I could undertake the duties that I experienced when I was president. For one thing you had to be very flexible with your mind. You had to be able to go from one subject to another and concentrate on each one adequately and then put them all together in a comprehensive way.”
Avoiding reality of age concerns
Among the things that do improve with age is experience, which is often quantified as “wisdom.” Biden spoke of it in the October debate: “Look, one of the reasons I’m running is because of my age and my experience. With it comes wisdom.” When Sanders was asked about his health and age, he said: “We are going to be mounting a vigorous campaign all over this country.” Same question to Warren and a similar answer: “I will out-work, out-organize and outlast anyone.”
Three predictable responses, none of which addressed the reality about aging that concerns Carter. How older candidates look and sound today might be a good indicator of how well they would function tomorrow or next month. But the candidates are seeking a term that would end half a decade from now
Maximum age: I'm the same age as Elizabeth Warren. We 70-somethings have no business being president
Some Democrats would like Biden and Sanders to pledge to only serve one term. A related suggestion is they'd be wise to select a significantly younger running mate, who could step in if needed or move to the top of the ticket after four years. How awful. The process of replacing a president is traumatic for the nation and on the world stage, no matter what the circumstances. And betting that a vice president could move up and win the next election is no sure thing
Carter believes there should be an age limit for presidents, which sounds like a good idea that comes from wisdom gained by experience. Of course, it’s too late for that sort of thing in the 2020 campaign. But there is time, when the primary-season voting begins in February, to thank the older candidates for their service and turn to someone younger

So, we let DJT finish out his second term, then elect DJTJ. He's currently only 41.
Or Ivanka. Wouldn't THAT piss off the Hildebeest and all its minions!

Oh geez. No more nepotism from Trump dynasty.
The last thing America needs is another political family. "The American royalty" theme, has been shoved at us since the Kennedys
