Is Joe Too Old to Run in 2024?
Last night I watched Joe’s Oval Office speech and I have to admit he’s getting old. He looks old, he sounds old, he’s old.
Joe’s almost twice as old as Ron DeSantis, who was born in 1978, when Joe had already been in the U.S. Senate for 6 years.
But every time I hear those GOP shitheads talk about Joe’s age and how the United States can’t afford to rely on a Chief Executive who would be older than any other President the country has ever had, I begin thinking about what the word ‘age’ really means, particularly when the word is used to describe someone in public or political life.
This whole ‘age’ thing has become nothing more than a piece of political nonsense thrown around by the GOP to deal with a Democrat(ic) administration which is sitting atop a national economy where the labor-force participation rate is the highest it has been since 2007 and the demand for labor is at an all-time high.
And while Trump can continue to lie about how he was going to get all our troops out of Kabul without anyone getting killed, the country is not facing any military threats from anywhere. And if there was a threat, is anyone out there ready to deal with an F-35?
The problem facing the GOP is that Trump lies about everything all the time. And it’s okay to lie to Sean Hannity but it doesn’t work that…
