American media used to call the USSR a "gerontocracy" because many of their officials were in their 70s.
Now, members of the US Congress stay decades and cling to power until death. Many are in their 80s. Dianne Feinstein was 90 and had no idea where she was. Chuck Grassley is 92. Biden is now 83. Trump will be 80 in June. Pelosi is finally leaving at 86.
The Congressmember who announced this Congressman's death herself is 82 years old (Virginia Fox), with a history of obvious confusion and dementia. The Hill is like a nursing home.
If you could travel back to 2015 -- let alone 2005 -- and explain that a founding leader of Al Qaeda in Syria will be made President with the help of the US and Israel, then warmly welcomed in the WH and western capitals, you'd be called a crazy anti-west conspiracy theorist.
Last year at the SOTU, President Trump declared that a new golden age was upon us. Trump promised that DOGE would cut hundreds of billions in fraud, that he would end the war in Ukraine and that the era of regime change wars was over.
This year, after doing none of that, he will be selling a stupid unpopular war for Israel in Iran.
