    Seriously, Biden flubs once and that’s how the whole “he’s too old” starts.

    It really wasn’t the one time. His handlers had been stage managing his public appearances so he wouldn’t wander off, and he’s said a litany of very clearly odd things in public. That one time just happened to occur on live national TV and couldn’t be spun like the others.

    The Daily Show’s done some great segments on Biden’s cognitive decline over the years. They’re on Youtube.

      So then if those are standards we’re holding for Biden, why not Trump? Isn’t he constantly doing off things in public AND behind closed doors?

          So when a Black person doesn’t act in the way his supporters expect them to, they retaliate? Is that why we’re seeing all this Kamala hate? Because she’s not strutting around using AAVE with a clock around her neck?

          Ugh, it’s just so infuriating. This is why when people complain about DEI and PoC taking jobs, it’s like-- Even when we get the job, are more than qualified, exemplary at the job, AND personable on top of it-- people will see all of that as a detriment, not a boon.

            Yes, that is exactly what Republicans do, if you’d take notice. It’s not about logical points, but literally SLANDERING the “enemy”, which is always a fellow citizen.

            They ARE deplorable, dishonest actors, and the rest of the world NEEDS to stop treating these literally evil people as if they’re merely misguided and simply haven’t heard the right truth spoken to them… No, they’re brainwashed morons who have become dangerous.
