Ok, no attacks. But are we talking about how experience is far less valuable in the age of information and that average cognitive ability peaks at around 30, begins to decline at 45, then - on average - rapidly deteriorates after 70?.. because it definitely seems like something we should be talking about.
complicate attacks on Biden’s age
Do they, though? For that to be true, the following would also have to be true:
-
The people mad about Hunter Biden making money on his dad's name would also be mad about Trump's kids doing that
-
The people mad about Obama taking vacations (or golfing) while in office would also have been mad when Trump took more vacation time and golfed more
-
The people mad about Clinton lying about a blowjob would also be mad about Trump's infidelity and lying
-
etc.
I'm going with: it doesn't complicate anything. They don't care about their people living up to the standards they demand others live up to, the point for them is that double-standards are a feature, not a bug.
Speaking of shitty ass cancerous Kentucky politicians, whats brother Racist Rand been up to? Sucking Putins old dick?
They’re both too old! And McConnell is a rhino who secretly is best friends with Nacy Pelosi and senator Feinstein. They all sit around together on the weekends babbling, freezing, forgetting where they are and pooping their pants like little babies.
What do you mean? Rank and file Republicans hate him as much as Biden.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Now in their 80s, the Democratic president and the Senate GOP leader appear to be giving political cover to each other as they fend off questions about their advanced age and health issues.
Notably, McConnell, R-Ky., 81, hasn’t joined Donald Trump, 77, and other Republicans who have attacked Biden’s age, health and mental acuity as he seeks re-election.
McConnell's public health incidents have come as Republicans are ramping up attacks on Biden’s age and mental fitness, a subject voters are expressing major concerns about heading into the 2024 election cycle.
A Wall Street Journal poll out this week found that 73% of registered voters believe Biden is too old to run for president, while 60% said they think he isn’t “mentally up for the job.”
Returning to the Senate this week after the monthlong summer recess, McConnell sought to project a business-as-usual attitude and calm his colleagues’ nerves about his latest health scare.
Immediately after McConnell spoke, one of his former top aides, Steven Law, who runs a McConnell-aligned super PAC, gave a presentation touting strong GOP fundraising numbers — which Hawley described as “a little surprising for the setting.”
