You know what is incredibly miserable? When Clinton became president he was the first baby boomer president. And since then, save for Obama, all presidents were born roughly around the same time.

Bill Clinton is almost the same age as Trump. Both were born in 1946. They were born months apart.

I hope Trump is the last Boomer President.

It's like the boomers last gasp to really fuck EVERYTHING up once and for all.

The youngest Boomer is 61. There are plenty of 61-year-olds I'd vote for, and older. For instance, I'd still vote for Bernie--just get him in office, it doesn't matter how long he lives. Conversely, there are plenty of under-40-year-olds I would not vote for. The problem has nothing to do with age. There are a lot of 20-something MAGAs.

Bernie is absolutely still viable. JD Vance, however, is millennial and I wouldn't want him polishing my shoes.

For anyone looking for more history around this, the economist have a podcast series called Boom!

And for general shit about the worst-behaved presidents, I recommend Very Presidential with Ashley Flowers. It's a short series of 15 episodes but gives a good idea of all the shit that happened in the White House.

When we talk about “presidential conduct,” we usually mean dignity and leadership. We don’t usually talk about the all-night ragers, blackmail schemes, and drug-induced decisions made in very important meetings! But maybe we should talk about all of that.[...] It’s a lot wilder than anything you learned in history class, and the scariest part is, it’s all true.

BTW. Before Clinton, from Eisenhower to Bush Sr. The presidents were all WW2 veterans to some degree. Eisenhower was a general, Kennedy was a PT Boat skipper, and Reagan was in a non-combat role primarily acting in training films. Bush Sr. Was a naval aviator.

For some reason or another, most of them were Navy guys.
