S.C. Democrat: 'The Whole System of Gov't is Being Run by a Geriatric Oligarchy'
Townhall.com ^ | 23 June A.D. 2022 | Sarah Arnold

President Joe Biden’s old age has been the center of attention as Republicans and even Democrats have come forward questioning whether he has the mental and physical capabilities to run the country.

And judging by his actions and decisions, it’s probably safe to say he does not.

Gubernatorial candidate former Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-S.C.) expressed his concerns about Biden’s possible re-election run in 2024.

During an interview on CNN’s New Day, Cunningham said he believes Biden, who is coming up on his 80th birthday, is too old to hold the down the Oval Office for another term.

“Yeah, I think we need to have a new generation of leadership emerge,” Cunningham said, adding “The whole system of government is being run by a geriatric oligarchy.”

This comes after the congressman just launched an ad proposing age limits in government.

“This isn’t about, personal about Biden, but he’d be 82 [by the] time of the next election. If he served out a second term, he would be 86 years old. I’m not sure if any of us know any 86-year-olds who should be running the entire country,” Cunningham said.

The Democrat continued to suggest that 72 should be the cut-off age for government positions.

“We draw a line, age 72, South Carolina state law is judges have to retire at age 72. So my question and the point that I’m making, if you’re too old to interpret the law, are you not too old to be making the law?,” he said.

Cunningham was then asked whether 81 year-old House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) should retire, to which he reiterated the idea that the age limit should be 72, adding “I appreciate all his service and what he’s done for our country, and It’s nothing personal. I get along fine with him. But as we look towards the future, we got to be looking to provide new vision.”

And most of this "geriatric oligarchy" are white Democrats.

This from the party of radical inclusion.

” . . . Gov’t is Being Run by a Geriatric Oligarchy . . .” says this moron from a party run by Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders and a slew of other over-the-hill idiots whose major value is keeping the company that makes ‘Depends’ in business.

Look at Pelosi. Look at Biden. Hell, Chuckles is the youngster of the bunch and he’s 71.

Now look at the younger Democrats. Buttplug? Heels up Harris? Sandy Cortez? They’re all complete lightweights. They have no younger leaders. There’s no Hawley, no DeSantis, no Cruz no serious person who maybe possibly someday could be a real threat to become president. They have no bench.

Somebody said that by the time Biden finished his second term, he’d be closer to 90 than 80.

I say he’s closer to 90 now, and he was closer to 90 before he even ran for his first term.

Think of Gollum. His life artificially extended by wearing the ring. They love the ring because it brings them wealth. They hate the ring because they are slaves to it. They have been corrupted by greed, and know they have committed horrible crimes (think Epstein, for example). The ring is POWER and they are slaves to the billionaire oligarchs who play Saruman to their Gollum. Even Saruman is a slave to Sauron, who is the evil angel himself. There is an evil behind the evil behind the evil we see destroying our beloved America today.

I am 60 so I am not young, but I am starting to agree. While Trump is still sharp as a tack, look at Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi.

I wouldn’t let them run a lemonade stand much less the country.

The deep state likes geriatrics because they can do anything in their name that they want. A young fella like ObaMao, OTOH, slows down their destructive pace just a little with his frequent five star resort vacations.

A coterie of Clinton and Obama people.

They get to call the shots and let Biden take all the heat for their failures.

Biden had signs of dementia in 2020 and the media and Democrats ignored it. Watch President Trump speak at one of his rally’s and you can see that he is on top of his game.

What funny is so many folks look at Joe and consider him to be “old” and “geriatric”.

As much as I dislike these old perv socialists these younger pols aren’t any better. They want age limits so that they can take those slots and send home the swag. A 50 year old moron is no improvement aver a 75 year one.

With the Dems it’s a choice between bombers and droolers. Age is a problem but it’s far from the only one.
