      Trump is definitely losing his ability to manage his lies/grifts. Biden is losing his syntactic abilities. Both options aren’t good, but one is waaay more damaging to the American way.

        Biden isn’t losing his syntactic abilities, he’s a man with a stutter and a history of verbal gaffes, who has lived a long time and met a lot of people, and was interviewed during a time of extreme stress (right at the start of the Israel/Palestine conflict), after having likely gotten minimal sleep for days.

        I hate that this narrative of “he’s too old” is making the rounds again, when if you had a camera following you around 24 hours a day, it would almost certainly capture you saying something stupid all the time.

        Watch footage of his recent speeches without cherry-picking the ones with gaffes. He’s been perfectly fine and eloquent most of the time.

      A million times worse, but doesn’t mean we can’t discuss Biden aging as well. He’s been great, don’t get me wrong but…yeah. There has been concerning shit like this and at his age…shit can go downhill FUCKING FAST. I’m still voting for him because the other option is basically suicide for the country but…its really time for us to move on from letting the elderly run this god damn country.

      Do we want a president who gets as bad as Feinstein did? Literally not even remembering she had been hospitalized?
