Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Two possibilities:
Dementia removes verbal “filters.”
Aging causes atrophy of the brain, particularly the frontal lobes first, and those (like teens who haven’t fully developed myelination of the frontal lobes) are the filters for impulsiveness and risk taking.
So he says and does stupid shit because the filters are breaking down.
Good demo let's put a limit to the president's age. Let's put it at 75 on your 1st or 2nd term. The president of the united States cannot be 75 by his or her 1st or 2nd term's end.
Only if something like that were to be re-evaluated every single year, because I don't want our rules to be cast in the past when new breakthroughs come. We see how long we've been saddled with the atrocious EC, I don't want our country to be held back by some anachronistic rules around age that get invalidated by science...
A far better option might be to have to pass more stringent evaluations (and not just naming an animal, FFS) prior to assuming office.
Why 75? Well because that's a reasonable age to expect a person to still be able to fly around and help out. 75 gives you basically 10 years after retirement. So you can be retired, old and bring that game to the table. You gotta be at least 35 because younger people might be too crazy for the position. So 75 also rules out crazy people... dementia people. At 75 you won't be easily abused and persuaded by other's ideas without your 2 cents...2 nickels on the topic. (A retard president got rid of the cents because he hasn't read books on what happens when you do that. Devaluation). 75 is a good age to get the fuck out of politics please! No falling asleep during important meetings like our current retard does. Just go fly kites with your niece or go read some books when you wait for Mr. Ripper. At 75, you've done more than anyone else, why should you also get to run the presidency. Etc etc.
We should also have a wartime president team rather than hold all the eggs on one basket case. Like 5 people. Each goes to a different part of the country and communicates daily. The goal always being pace rather than continuous war. Once pace comes back we go back to one person. We can vote to see who did best.
75 is too old, their policies won't affect themselves anymore.
How about the retirement age instead?
That way they can only hold power by increasing the retirement age, and get killed in the riots that follow.
I totally forgot. Yeah, at 75 they can kill tge department of education or healthcare and it won't matter to them a single bit.
Retirement age sounds interesting yes. So they retire us at 64 because we're basically useless. So then why are presidents older than 64 not useless? Okay they're not? Let's then set retirement to 74...riots! Sounds like a good control system.
Our government books will have to say...there are 4 branches of government, the executive(Orange fuck), the judicial(supreme tennis court), the legislative(congress taking your rights) and the people (riots). I had not noticed how the people are not part of the government. We should be.
Or maybe he's just a Psychopath. I'm going with that.
