No. There is a reason why people call congress the geriatric house.

Too bad he is not of the equine variation- Then he could have put into practice the medical system he wishes to place on the masses-

Not really. They, the (D) can do anything they want. Because the (R) is there to assist what is needed to advance the liberal agenda. Uniparty!

Even if they did the (D) would still prevail. They are truly a different mindset. They win most of the time. Trump told the (R) to grow a spine. Sadly, that hasn’t happened.

I figured he would need a medical specialist who deals with the undead.

Anyone can get hurt. However I am for age restrictions for Presidents, Justices, and Congressmen.

You should be ineligible to run for Pres or Congress if you are 68 or older by the swearing in ceremony. And justices of all courts should be required to semi retire at 68 with the opt in possibility of part time case load until age 75.

Just my opinion, and it’s a rule that applies to all of us. I’ll be 68 someday and 75 someday, and it applies to me. I know, I know, some of you FReepers are 80 and still going strong. It doesn’t matter. You use an AVERAGE.

Just like 18 is the age of majority even though some 16 year olds are fully mature and some 25 years olds are still little kids.

There are varieties to capacity for all of us. But without age limits we end up with Shady Acres Congress and President No Brain, all of whom are run by YOUNGER, unelected, unaccountable staff.

Our energy is lower, our brains get funky, and we are far more susceptible to disease and injury in our older age. Enough already. Even the Gipper had Alzheimer’s, apparently, in his last couple of years, which may have really impaired the clarity of his judgments, his vision, and his vitality.

Surgery should have been a Lobotomy.

I really don’t like basketball.
But at this news I might be able to see some good in it.

Is Da Nang Dick going to claim it as being “service related” to his non-service in Vietnam?

“Surgery should have been a Lobotomy.”

Nah, should have been removal of the necrosis above the C7 vertebra.

I hope there are plenty of complications that cause him no end of suffering.

Time to stop trying to be the ‘’loyal opposition.'' Democrats having been playing hard ball for years and getting away with it. They deserve to be paid back in their own coin.
