The US Political System is like a giant nursing home for political people

Is it just me or is the white house being treated as a retirement home for politicans more than a place for actual leadership?

It doesn't feel like a place for strictly politics anymore. It honestly starting to feel like a retirement home for political figures.

Trump is 79 and is DEF showing his age both physically and mentally.

Mitch Mcconnell is 84 and is not really doing well because his age is REALLY catching up.

Joe Biden was 78 when he was inaugurated and he quickly spiraled down, the most common sign was his speech.

The US political system is really seeming to be a place for old politicans and is like one giant nursing home.

And it's ticking me off because instead of there being actual political leaders, we are mostly just listening to the ramblings of old, out of touch, people who probably don't know where they are half of the time

67 is supposed to be the retirement age in the US, so why is there so many old people way older, in the most powerful seats in the US?

We seriously need age limits and/or term limits
