    He’s as old and decrepit as he made Biden out to be.

    Of course they’re desperate to hide it.

    Democrats don’t want voter ID. You know why? Because they wanna cheat. They don’t wanna — I say, ‘Ohhh, they don’t wanna.’ When I first — I thought I was seeing things, I thought I was … like, I didn’t hear that when I first start this who — they’d say, ‘The Democrats will not approve voter ID.’

    So is most of the “liberal media”, too, apparently. For a while there, nearly all I heard about was age. Then, suddenly, during the summer, that ceased.

    Weird. I wonder what happened? Meanwhile, dementia donnie seems to be losing it more and more by the day.

    Politics is so basic

    1. Polling shows electorate are concerned about age of candidates
    2. ditch aged candidate
    3. attack opponents aged candidate

      Yup. One side proved they were actually concerned about the age of the candidates and did something about it while the other digs their heads in the sand and ignores reality.

      Sure seems to be a super common theme these days…

        So when did this “actual concern” begin ?

        It was never mentioned until the Hur report raised doubts. Then Biden received fulsome support from the party.

            Why so aggressive?

            Hur said of Biden “he’s and elderly man with a poor memory”

            Following that, he was roundly supported by the party.

              Did you ignore the congressional hearing where it was demonstrated that Hur lied and omitted facts to spin that narrative?

                You just said he alleviated doubts ……but now you say he was found to be lying ?

                What are you trying to say ?

                Look, a few weeks ago, the democrats went out of their way to defend a doddery old man and told you everything was fine. Then when polling data changed, They kicked him out him, and started using age and infirmity as an attack line.

                If you don’t see hypocrisy in that, and you don’t see the lack of integrity in that, and the general cheap shittery in that, then you are part of the great unthinking electorate .

      1. Parties attack either other for having aged candidates.
      2. Party ditches aged candidate, since electorate doesn’t want aged candidate–other party doubles down on old/mentally declining candidate and refuses to reconsider
      3. Party attacks aged candidate
      4. Omg who could have seen that coming

      Yeah, its bizarre. Its almost as if the sections of electorate that complained about age never really cared about i the first place.
