Same fella again?
There really should be some sort of cut-off age or at least a yearly cognition test for people in positions of power when they reach a certain age.

Think age is the way to go, or term limits. You see with Trump and the self reporting of height and weight or when he was in the White House and the doctor allowed him to dictate the doctor's report, that you can't trust the tests to be done properly as people with power aren't treated like normal folk

Age is - reach 70 and you should be automatically barred from reelection.
Why would you even want to be president at that age. Im in my 40s and I’m sleepy about 90% of the time I’m awake.
I dont know but Ive been told a big part of the military was marching around shouting small poems

This was the same Alexander who had been tutored by Aristotle. The young man had never learned to pursue Aristotle’s golden mean. He did everything to the extreme. But his studies with Aristotle did affect him in at least one important way. Under Aristotle’s tutelage he had studied Homer’s epic poem The Iliad, with its great warrior-hero Achilles. Alexander carried a copy of The Iliad with him for the rest of his life, and the poem seems to have inspired him to become a great warrior-hero in his own right.
He’s probably call Marcus Aurelius ”woke”
I'm not sure if its funny or tragic watching Vivek attempt to lie in public politics in the same way that brought him his ill gotten wealth. He is really bad at it, and when he doesn't have the magic beans to sell to his investors all he has left are his lies.
My dad (retired military) and I had a "discussion" along these lines when General Milley was talking about books he had read (which as I was told were "woke") and would recommend for enlisted and officers. The discussion didn't go well as you can imagine.

It is remarkable that, as bad as the decision itself is, the tweet announcing the decision is even worse:
Hopefully what has happened to Feinstein will give California voters pause even if it doesn’t change her own mind.
