I’d say a rule of thumb is that over 75 or so you no longer have the stamina to fufill what’s required of a public office role. Nor are you likely “in touch” which the needs of the constituents.

Well the examples posted, that old lady, I wouldn’t think so too but if you read the article the city apparently prospered like crazy with her in charge

Did you like all the young hipster ideas Gregor brought to Vancouver? :)

In a council it's probably not a bad idea to have a spread of ages for a bunch of reasons. You don't want all old people but you don't want all young people either.

Representation should be related to demographics in Canada if we really want what's best for our population. We really just have a bunch of rich people in politics trying to decide what's best for us poors and it's clearly not working.

The problem is the rich are the only ones with the free time to run.

I know why it happens, I just don’t like it.

“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor
and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good
genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton
School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if
you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if,
like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m
one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s
true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they
try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start
off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there,
went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to
give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little
disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the
thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy,
and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is
powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many
years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he
would explain the power of what’s going to happen and
he was right—who would have thought?), but when you
look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it
used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and
even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger;
fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they
haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now
than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about
another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators,
the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just
killed, they just killed us.”



biden may be getting senile but trump at his best was/is still a dimwit

So there’s some article that popped up on my Facebook feed about this 101 year old woman thay wanted to keep her job at the airport or somthing and they finally agreed.

So typical me I waded into the comments and the first one is somthing along the lines of “United has plenty of 80+ year old flight attendants and they are amazing!!”

So I reply, given the requirements of a flight attendant and having them responsible for evacuation and the safety of passengers I’d it’s bordering on negligence of the airline to allow 80+ year old flight attendants If thats actually the case.

Then people just storm my comment saying “omg you’re so wrong!!! Etc etc”

lol fuck

The big difference between trump and Biden is who they have surrounding them.

trump was surrounded by yes men who would run around like a bunch of shit rats when trump would say something stupid like hurricane Dorian was on the path to hit Alabama.

Biden on the other hand is surrounded by a bunch of very smart people who are willing to speak there mind and Biden is willing to listen to.

cause all brown people are the same.

Edit: oh fuck I see what happened there.

Nevermind I get it now... slow

Lol, the edited post is removing the Eid Mubarak info still wrong apparently.

Sikh new year =/= Khalsa day.

A picture taken of a screen with the cursor in the way is the perfect use of this lol

It really is, I jumped at the opportunity

... You... Unbiased? :lol

Okay.

You laugh at the 7-11 people until you find out how much money they make.

He's trolling :lol

Or has to be at least.

For as old and "senile" Biden is, which by the way in his 2 years as president have we seen any real examples to show he's out of his damn mind? I can't recall any.

Trump's presidency was a total dumpster fire, juxtaposed, Biden's has been quite regular and benign. An effective, and typical, corporate Democrat.

The two years of Biden can be summarized in one quote:

“The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.” - Theodore Roosevelt

"As of May 4, 2022, President Joe Biden (D) had signed 89 executive orders, 68 presidential memoranda, 251 proclamations, and 47 notices."

How pseudointellectual of you :lol

That is a total nothing post without any actual substance.

What a stupid comment lol.

Know what else Roosevelt said?

“This country has nothing to fear from the crooked man who fails. We put him in jail. It is the crooked man who succeeds who is a threat to this country.”

What the fuck is going on.
