Mitch McConnell is older than President Biden.

[milestogo]

Not by much. He was born February 20, 1942 (age 80)
Biden was born November 20, 1942 (age 79)

But if we're talking about people who are too old for political office, he should be at the top of the list.

[jimfields33]

1. Our entire leadership is up there on both sides pretty much.

[DURHAM D]

2. And this -

Born Charles Ernest Grassley
September 17, 1933 (age 88)
New Hartford, Iowa, U.S.

[question everything]

36. Dianne Feinstein June 22, 1933, Bernie Sanders sept 8, 1941

[LakeArenal]

3. Unfortunately so would Nancy Pelosi.

That’s why age shouldn’t be a deciding factor.

[malaise]

4. And Slobby will be 76 in two days

Hope it’s horrific

[Rebl2]

22. Thought

he was going to be 77.

[question everything]

34. All three of them: Bush Jr., Trump and Clinton were born in 1946 within two months of each other

[multigraincracker]

5. I'm 7 or 8 years younger and

feel to old for it.

[spooky3]

14. I don't know how they do it. I think I could keep up with

The mental demands. But the physical demands (lots of energy for long hours) and the patience? No way. I really admire the competent and ethical MCs.

[Basic LA]

26. I feel the same way.

At 76, I so enjoy being retired.

[jaysunb]

35. At 79 I tip my hat to them all .

I can barely keep up with what time I'm supposed to take my meds 😩

[GoCubsGo]

6. Chuck Grassley will turn 89 in mid-September.

Which is 10 years younger than Strom Thurmond was when he was elected to his last term by some of the very people who are making an issue out of Biden's age. They are such effin' hypocrites.

[vrguy]

7. **NOT Ageism** Just questions Retirement age in Canada 65/67

Justin Trudeau

Born: December 25, 1971 (age 50 years)


URRG Boris Johnson


Born: June 19, 1964 (age 57 years)


Anthony Albanese


Born: March 2, 1963 (age 59 years),


Olaf Scholz


Born: June 14, 1958 (age 63 years)


wont do most of Europe as that skews numbers even lower


Perhaps there is something in the numbers, I don't know...

[Just A Box Of Rain]

17. These other men are younger

but not one is the caliber of statesman that we have in Joe Biden.

Perhaps some will grow with experience?

[COL Mustard]

28. BoJo is probably the wrong person

To use in a comparison. He’s been quite the roue even during lockdown.

[brooklynite]

8. Mitch McConnell isn't President.

“What about….” Comparisons aren’t going to shift public sentiment.

[barbtries]

9. there's a bunch of them,

some of whom I don't want to see leave. Biden, Pelosi. Feinstein I think is past time to leave office.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

18. You would like to get rid of 3 of my all time favorite

Democratic leaders.

Does not sound good to me.

[barbtries]

21. that's not what I said at all.

only Feinstein. She may be one of my all time favorites but I don't believe she has the vigor anymore to be in office.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

25. She has among the best staffs in Washington and retains her great judgement.

I'll be sad to see her go.

From the time she stepped fully into the political limelight--in the aftermath of the killings of SF Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk--until now, Dianne Feinstein has been a beacon of thoughtful, wise, and mature liberal leadership.

I think she remains as an asset to our party and to the nation, and she will be missed when the time comes.

[milestogo]

10. Frankly I think it would be best to have people at their prime in office.

I don't like seeing the Supreme Court justices work forever.

I don't like seeing Senators hold on to their seats forever.

I don't want to see age restrictions, because there are always exceptions. The voters should decide.

But I would like to see term limits of 2 terms for Senators, 5 terms for Congress, 10 years for the Supreme Court.

[ReluctanceTango]

37. So you want to give lobbyists even more power?

Because every time term limits have been enacted, that's what happens. They're the only ones who will be left with enough institutional knowledge to get things done.

The problem isn't the term limits. We already have those; it's called the ballot box.

The problem is with we the people who keep electing bad actors. And how, 90% of the time, the problem people have with certain pols getting re-elected is when it's that other district's rep or other state's Senator who's been "serving too long," while ours is great and deserves to be there forever. Too many term limit supporters are keen to get rid of everyone else's reps, and rarely their own.

Even those who think it should apply to their reps, too, don't get that good reps are like good workers: They deserve to keep their jobs when they perform well. You want the experience and expertise of those people in office. Doing a good job should be rewarded, not snatched away over some arbitrary time limit.

[milestogo]

38. No, the ballot box is not term limits.

To run against an incumbent Senator costs upwards of $25 million. Our voting choices are limited to incumbents and those who are already wealthy, like Dr. Oz.

[patphil]

11. Senator Grassley is 88

[kimbutgar]

19. I'm hoping he'll be exposed as a coup plotter on Jan 6th and his re-election is doomed.

[towerbum]

23. he already has been exposed! He said pence won't be there ?

How did he know Pence would not be there & he would take the control of the certification of electoral's ?

[kimbutgar]

29. Emails or texts that will expose him

That will be presented during the hearings and on record

[towerbum]

30. made public while back ! they have have it !

[pandr32]

12. When things are old I scrutinize them as whether still good...

...or not.
Biden is still good. McTurtle is way beyond his 'good until' date and smelling pretty rank.

[towerbum]

32. buzzard's are already circling!

[keithbvadu2]

13. Dotard whined that Hillary was too old.

Dotard whined that Hillary was too old.

He is now older than she was back then.

[milestogo]

16. I can't believe he's still alive.

If there ever comes a time when he's about to be held accountable, he'll probably drop dead on the spot just to get out of it.

[wnylib]

33. Well at least he'd be gone.

[aeromanKC]

15. Biden has a real job.

McConnell just has to show up and say no.

[DFW]

31. They don't just vote no. They SING vote no:

[Trueblue Texan]

20. Pelosi's pretty old too...but sharp as a tack.nt

[lastlib]

24. Oliver Wendell Holmes retired from the Supreme Court at age 90.

So age in/of itself is no barrier. But yes, Mitch McTurdle has outstayed his shelf-life, and needs to go yesterday. Double-ditto TFG.
