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!

[–] kebab@endlesstalk.org 6 points 1 week 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

Unfortunately the mortal coil isn't declining enough

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

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 5 points 6 days 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 48 points 1 week 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 week 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.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cognitive tests from a third party would be beneficial too.

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week 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.

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.

Is Joe Biden in the room with us right now?

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 15 points 1 week 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.

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

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

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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week 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.

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.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 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.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Seriously. “Esprit de corps”? Where the hell did he get that from? He blamed everything on Biden and it didn’t make any sense, but that’s not anything new, that’s what won him the election.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The actual, literal quote speaks for itself

And I have to tell you, Europe has a lot of spirit for this war. A lot of people, you know, when I first got involved, I really didn't think they did, but they do. And I saw that a month ago when you were there, most of you many of you were there. The level of esprit de corps spirit that they have is amazing.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 17 points 1 week ago

Sounds like average Trump nonsense tbh. I agree he IS mentally declined but that had to have started ages ago.

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Having watched the video and even read the script… it just sounds like he’s in front of a group and camera, and filling the space conversationally. It’s awkward, it’s his dumb speech patterns, but it doesn’t scream at me or stand out for being belligerent or worse than anything else. This one is a nothing burger.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only because we keep lowering the bar for him. We disqualified Howard Dean because he screamed funny....

[–] NJSpradlin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

This shouldn’t be a bar lowering item to begin with. These or dumb human things, which we all are or do sometimes. The words here really shouldn’t be worth pointing at the guy and laughing about. It’s barely worth me even saying anything about here. Only slightly more worth my time is seeing if I can snap 1 or 2 people out of stooping so low to mock the guy for being human… that they’re missing more important and glaring issues.

[–] rumimevlevi 6 points 1 week ago

This only show how stupid he is like he always been. Nothing to do with his age

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

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

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

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days 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.

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

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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

tfw anyone needs to be convinced he's demented
