Welcome. Here's the agenda for this meet:

  • review minutes from last meet
  • discuss when we'll have our next meet
  • decide what to eat for our next meet (remember: must be one vegan meet per year)

Well me(e)t!

Unfortunately the mortal coil isn't declining enough

We need age limits for all held positions, and term limits for congress.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 hours ago

There is an arbitrary minimum age requirement (35 years old) so it would be coherent to have a maximum as well.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We should tie a mandatory government retirement age to Medicare or social security eligibility so there's some pressure to keep it below 80.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 50 points 1 day ago

It's wild that people aren't expected to work at his age and in a lot of cases aren't allowed to drive anymore. But here is this decrepit old cunt steering the world backward into ruin.

I think it would be great if we set the age limit to be tied to a percentage of the average expected lifespan of the country's citizens in some way. Setting a hard age limit wouldn't be adaptive enough.

It would incentivize them to pass legislation and regulations which help increase everyone's life expectancy. It would also somewhat help in the case of a future where some medical advances allow only those with enough money to have insanely increased lifespans.

Cognitive tests from a third party would be beneficial too.

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, the President and Executive have two separate and independent, third parties who are responsible for checks and balances against them, and look where that’s gotten us.

They’re all corruptible.

The next time Trump tells anyone to stop talking about Epstein, someone needs to tell him that he needs to shut the fuck up about Biden first. For fuck's sake.

[–] BugKilla@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nobody will do that. Everyone involved in his administration is either a cult member or an opportunistic scumbag. He will be conveniently replaced by somebody more insidious and competent once the machinery of USA democracy and benevolent government have been dismantled and a successor chosen.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

President Steve Miller

[–] twistypencil@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Whoever does this will be a hero

[–] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

How about we go in chronological order and he shuts up about Obama first. Or Rosie O'Donnell.

[–] parody@lemmings.world 9 points 1 day ago

The pond scum talking in the video—yeah, same thing we’ve seen for YEARS.

Same excrement, different day.

Wake me up when orange poo does worse than this same thing he always does please. @miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com, may we request you edit title to be less sensational?

He’s poopbrain and poopmouth did I mention that, anyway thanks

[–] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 63 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is Joe Biden in the room with us right now?

"Don't you think he looks tired?"

[–] kebab@endlesstalk.org 6 points 1 day ago

I have watched the video and while he does ramble about blaming Biden for everything as always, he doesn’t seem to have “declined” during the interview honestly speaking. The headline is quite misleading/sensational in my opinion

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

distraction from the epstein files, all these news are just complicit.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

I don't think it's distraction. He's not smart enough. He's just a fucking cunt who can't stop bullshit projecting from his anus looking lips.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 day ago

I get actual reporting can be boring and dull. That doesn't mean we have to start our own newmax or breitbart. It will be only a matter of time until we get some crazy ass left wing nut as a result.

Defeating lies/exaggerations can only be done with knowledge and truth. Please do better with the news sources. This feels more like AI left-wing grifters.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Trump ranting incoherently isn't news, that's a Tuesday. Or Saturday. Or Monday. Or, you know, just any day.

[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's trump being stupid, nothing to do with his age

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (8 children)
[–] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

because it's been decades that he's been saying stupid things

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

No. You’re wrong. Even as late as 2015 he was able to answer a question. What we’re unwilling witnesses to is his stupidity and serious cognitive decline.

Ohh man, ik respecteerde Mark al, maar nu nóg meer. Die heerlijke nuchtere "uhh, wat praat deze gast?" blikken.. xD

Edit: Pardon my French, I'll rephrase for our Dutch-stunted fellow lemmings:

Ohh man, I already respected Mark, but even more so now. That lovely sober "Uhh, what the hell is this guy saying" look around... xD

Addendum: A true communication specialist. We sent the best of the generation: Teflon Mark!

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 1 points 22 hours ago

Het Carolien incident van Rutte bewijst alleen maar dat Rutte ook net zo veel poep praat totdat hij het echt niet meer weet. Ik denk als Mark ook 70+ is dat er een grote kans is dat hij net zo onsamenhangend wordt als Trump.

What in the holy hell is this reality show clip even supposed to be in the first place? Why are these people sitting in a fucking Support Group circle? What is supposedly being accomplished in this setup?

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

A nothingburger of an "article" partially locked behind a paywall.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't see how anything he said shows he is declining?
Actually among all the bullshit he is letting out, this seems very coherent by comparison.
