Sometimes it makes ya laugh and sometimes it makes ya cry the Greeks called it a tragicomedy and it happens when the likes of Trump arise.
It befuddles and angers me,when I see people interviewed at primary's and say they are voting for the dick,I stare at their faces wondering if a pair of sunglasses like RR Piper wears in "They Live" will let me see through them to tell if they are you know "actually human beings",I cannot come to grips w/their actual "thought process",2016 ok you took a chance,but now almost 8 yrs. later w/all that's happened??? I feel like a jump start from a FKN defibrillator might fix their FKN brain circuitry.

Well the dems are pushing for anyone else to be the den nominee so he’s what you get.

Queue the vote for (anyone but Biden) is a vote for Trump rhetoric.
Don't you think he's doing a good job? The facts and the data indicate he is doing a phenomenal job, employment is booming, and everybody is doing well, not just Wall Street, but main street too. He is kicking Vlad's ass too and destroying an American foe for decades, except the magats have his hands tied. Trump and republicans are unfit for office and a real and present danger to the constitution and nation, that is the only consideration in this election.

Some people age well, some don't and some die before 50 and if Joe croaks, that is why there is the VP, it is not an issue. He is a well-intentioned elderly man who knows what the Hell he's doing and has the facts to prove he has done an extraordinary job as POTUS, one of the best. Give the man his due, which should be your vote.

Both of them are unfit for office simply due to the nature of cognitive decline from age. People vote for their great grandparents to represent them and make rules, when few of us would want to live back in our grandparents house under their rules. It is crazy the two parties have no one better to put up for the top position and leave us choosing between 2 elderly candidates. It's that need for their direct 'wisdom' surely.

Of course it is even crazier people support elderly Trump at all given his very low bar set for character.

You are not dealing in facts and that is an issue another one is bigotry and refusing to see people as individuals and not a group and therefore all the same. Judge him on the facts and performance, which has been excellent and if he dies in harness, you have a nice young pretty VP.

age? tbh that’s not a logical reason to dislike biden Inless his age was showing actions that any age shouldn’t have the power or job , biden been a vp for president under Obama and a also rest of his adult life as a senator and he def does have history of corruption and huge issues like majority of people with even 10 years of government power? I think it’s crazy how much goo and the haters tried and tried and had to even put bidens son into it like his some pos ( even if he was this has nothing to do with president biden?)

the actions and also will speak, and it’s def there to shine and show but people wanna complain about his age? If his age made him do stupid decisions or dangerous to our country or wasn’t effective? Yes, and this is also why I wouldn’t support trump cause his all of those cons and soooo much more for bad….

It has not been established that Biden is suffering from cognitive decline or impairment. His actions as President suggest he isn’t.

It is distressing how many point to his aphasia as evidence. His tripping up on words or labels does not correlate with any loss of acuity.

If you have any compelling instances (reported in the nonpartisan text press) of Biden showing a cognitive impairment of consequence, do share.

I need compelling evidence to suggest a lose of cognitive ability due to age? You would argue that age has nothing to do with it and a person aged 80+ is cognitively equal to that of a person 20-30 years their junior (assuming of course the comparison is made between equally intelligent people, no need to compare Biden to MTG)? I would assume that's why the majority of firms hold onto CEOs into their late 70s and early 80s.

I didn't put forward other things I dislike or like about biden. Their ages are a problem either way, especially in a conversation about their cognitive abilities. Thankfully, presidents always have plenty of advisors.

Age is not a good test for qualification to do a job well. There are better ways to decide. People are looking for simple, not better.

if you claim as you imply that it makes a significant difference, the burden of proof falls on you.

I know very educated folks in their nineties who are sharp as a tack. Simply complaining “he’s old” is not a thought-out position imo.

right? Republicans can't point to a lack of competence or progress by Biden or Democrats while Biden has held office. We got a lot of shit done.

I’m not crazy about either candidate from an age perspective and have real concerns about how we in the US have an aging problem in our government as a whole. but cognitive ability no not really, but who knows. we gotta get people like Grassley, McConnell, Feinstein, Pelosi, Biden, Trump, etc, etc. outta office earlier and I would be in favor of a max age restriction at time of the election that matched the retirement age published by the IRS or something. Our population should be represented better from an age perspective. Right now I think the average age of a senator is like 58 with the average American being 39 and the average adult being 45.

It was significant enough to be included by the prosecutor. They only interviewed him for a couple hours, and most likely misinterpreted his disability when writing the report.

Trump is too old and incited a coup. Biden is too old and mixes up names. America, how to choose?
Trump will have many trials where he won't recall things, like what he was doing on J6...
