    The current president wouldn’t say such a stupid thing. The past and potential future president on the other hand…

    I saw that article, but declined reading the details. I was reminded of how difficult it could be to remember my home address while having a proctological exam, so there may be something to it.

    Well, at his damage control presser Biden claimed that he convinced the President of Mexico to “open the gate” into Gaza.

    The “both have pyramids” jokes commenced almost immediately.

    The mandatory federal retirement age for air traffic controllers is 56. For firefighters it is 57.

    Ages of the last few presidents when leaving office. They probably don't require a fast reaction speed or physical agility in most instances.

    Trump, 74
    Obama, 55
    GW, 62
    Clinton, 54
    HW, 68
    Reagan, 77
    Ford, 63
    Nixon, 61

    I'm all for lowering the social security and medicare ages to 56/57. Seriously though that REALY should have happened by now with Medicare. But as long as we expect most people to work till 70 we can't complain too much if politicians do, of course they are older than 70.

    Ah. I get it now. We’ve finally seen what Republican humor looks like. Trump tried to be funny with his anti trans joke the other day too when he told a crowd in Pennsylvania that democrats would rename the state theythemselvania. His joke might have actually been funny if he had finished it with ‘I hear that they chose that name because Transylvania was already taken.’

    But in any case thanks for proving my point about the media obsessing over biden’s minor gaffes.

    If you don’t think the White House is lying about the sorry state of Joe Biden’s brain, I have a bridge to sell you. “The Media” is too damn late in taking up this “narrative” which is actually presenting facts.

    Two seemingly opposite things (to you anyway) can be true at the same time: Biden is too damn old and he is visibly failing.

    DJT is too damn old, but is more spry than Biden. Age is not DJT’s main problem, however.

    I know many life long dedicated Democrats who are extremely concerned about Biden’s mental decline. They don’t like Kamala. I agree with Iris. Trump is also too damned old, but he’s more spry than Biden, but he has many other issues.

    I think the complaint that the media is persecuting Biden while treating Trump with kid gloves is truly funny.
