This guy gets it

Just wait until it happens in US.

Not much you can really do.

I was eating, now I have to clean my screen. Thank you

Boomers vote in droves. There are a lot of them and that’s why they’ve held onto power so long. They are dwindling and the younger generations are finally outnumbering them, but I’m not sure Millennials and Gen Z have started turning out with regularity yet. When we finally see that apple cart overturned, we’ll finally see the transition in power.

He's Usain Bolt compared to the last two presidents.

Charismatic warmonger

I’d guess the 3 guys following Bush are all ex-military and were used to wearing short shorts

Fact checked McConnell being born in 1042 and was surprised to find out it’s true

Oh shit

That McConnel bit had me cracking up. Typo or intentional?

I wonder about

Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, was founded in 1997

Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz.

It's a bit strange that a significant proportion of US politicians are - and have been - the same age, regardless of what point in time you're looking at them. It's almost like a single ~5 year window is all that's generally been allowed to hold office since the late 1980s. The same pattern is visible in congress/senate. It's like all of the big political "headliners" essentially spawned from the same graduating class.

Bush was born in 1947. Hillary? 1947. Romney? 1947.

Trump was born in 1946. Bill Clinton? 1946.

Biden, 1942. McConnel, 1042. Pelosi, 1940. Sanders? 1941.

The last four of five presidents (ie: the last 30 years) were born within ~5 years of each other - and if you ignore Biden, ~2 (!). Obama is obviously an outlier, but when we look at his political arc, he seems quite anomalous anyway; like something "unplanned" and capitalized upon.

In any case, there's a lot of data to pull from so it's easy to cherry pick names and dates. It's surely just coincidence that most of the Big Names most often thrown around in the media are born within a few years of each other.

What's not a coincidence is that the average age of US politicians is quite high. In some cases the same age group has remained in power/significance for the last ~30 years. The average age for the senate and house is 63 and 58 respectively, implying half of them are older than that.

It's obvious that American culture fetishizes age as if it were a function of wisdom, even though we often tease that same age group for being technologically/socially inept and culturally backwards. Bizarre.

Sometimes I like to imagine what the country would be like if it was being managed by people in their 40s-50s rather than 70-80s. When our bosses at work are older than 60 we start to doubt their performance and judgement, right? Somehow we don't do that for our politicians (generally speaking).

In my country Kenya, people simply wouldn't have money to take flights to wherever in the country lol.

Brains of a buffalo, to boot!

Short shorts are the way king

It makes sense that dog would sense the earthquake slightly before humans. They have a highly developed inner ear that helps them react to balance and spacial awareness.

Unless it’s my dog. He runs into furniture at a walking pace.

Well, he is actually younger than our last two (four years younger than Biden, a month younger than Trump). So during his time in office, he was over two decades younger than they were during their respective terms.

Had to be in peak physical shape for his big day.

I still don't feel comfortable wearing shorts above the knee. Just doesn't feel right.

so like factual facts or alternative facts?

Bush looking like a fucking young, fit buffalo after our current and last POTUS.
