Ted Rall for November 15, 2023

I kind of get why people think Biden is too old but the Trumpster is only 3 years younger and is not in the best physical condition as he is obese, out of shape and showing signs of truly being mentally unhinged. Truth is a lot of the fossils in both the red and blue parties out to step aside and let the younger generation take charge. In the blue party this means more progressive and open-minded individuals than those who are running the DNC. I am not surer an infusion of young blood will save the repubbas though as they have truly gone off of the reservation. Nonetheless, Feinstein and Ginsberg are 2 examples which should not be repeated. Biden and the maniacal Trumpster aside, there are many in Washington who are long in the tooth such as Moscow Mitch and more than a few of his buddies in the senate and house who should seriously consider stepping down before they do our nation irreparable harm.

Age is just a number, Trump’s NOV 6 treason is unforgivable history.

So, ageism is all you’ve got.

Vote Biden / Harris 2024, your freedom may just depend on it.

However, if they should think both are too old, then Biden would win. Right now, he’s too busy at being president while Drumpf continues to deteriorate as demented.

Trump: 77 year old, malignant narcissist, pathological liar, sociopath, proven fraud, treasonous insurrectionist, anti-democracy, giving aid and comfort to our enemies and openly promising to create a fascist regime of imprisoning political rivals and those who try to stop him from crowning himself king.

Biden: 80 year old who runs, bikes, supports our allies, has brought our economy back from the brink and GETS STUFF DONE!

Americans: But, but he’s 80…not the spry 77 year old trump is.

Polling a year out is often way off. Ask Reagan and Obama about that.

Hard to deny, Ted!

Ted tried to make a funny. Better luck next time.

Both trump and Biden (will be 85 in 2028) are too old. Both confuse: names, countries, historical events, forget words, can’t complete sentences, unaware of where they are, problems walking, tell stories that are pure fantasy for the 10x time. The difference is trump still has his alpha dog swagger, he will be able to hold multiple daily rabble rousing rallies-what he says may make no sense but he will still be putting on a show. Biden clearly will not be able to campaign-it really will put a damper on the rally when he gets lost on stage.

Empty G said Rosa DeLauro was 80 and too old to realize they passed a budget. Ms DeLauro school Empty on the fact that it has to go to the Senate and then the President for signing. I guess Ms DeLauro should be put on an ice floe like President Biden?

So, the American choice for president boils down to.. too old or too stupid. Offhand, go with old.. there are replacements. Pick stupid and who knows how much damage can be done by.. stupid.

Biden at 80 has all his faculties, tRump at 77 slurred his words in 2016, mispronounced his own wife’s name, needed help walking down a slight incline, and has the mental issues of Adolf Hitler.

Word of the Week: angary (or angaria)

The right of a warring nation to seize the property, for example, ships, of a neutral country, provided compensation is paid

I’d like to say that’s incredible, but I can’t.

How about all the gaffs and lies trump tells…let me count the ways…..

Trump will be 78 next year, and he checks far more of the boxes for dementia than Biden does.

Remember the polls said Hillary would win and when trump won the republicans said ‘’You can’t depend on polls because they have been wrong before’’. But today they claim their infallible. Times change but republican propaganda lies ‘’not so much’‘. It’s very easy to fool, fools.

Must we choose between two octogenarians?

How can age be an issue? A completely out of shape (unless the shape is an overripe bloated apple or pear) Trump is only three years younger than Biden! 3 years is within statistical error at their ages.

Biden is old, but the actuarial odds are in favor of him living to complete a second term.

Trump is also old & the actuarial odds no more favorable for him to complete a second non-consecutive term.

We know Harris is Biden’s running mate. I don’t see her making a huge change in course if she becomes POTUS in 2026.

Any bets on who will be Trump’s running mate, assuming he becomes the 2024 nominee?

I think that Biden is doing great.

A lot can change in one year. Biden is just a figurehead, anyway.

Surprise surprise surprise, Trump is just 2-3 years behind and he thinks he’s running against Obama.
