    Yup. One side proved they were actually concerned about the age of the candidates and did something about it while the other digs their heads in the sand and ignores reality.

    Sure seems to be a super common theme these days…

      So when did this “actual concern” begin ?

      It was never mentioned until the Hur report raised doubts. Then Biden received fulsome support from the party.

          Why so aggressive?

          Hur said of Biden “he’s and elderly man with a poor memory”

          Following that, he was roundly supported by the party.

            Did you ignore the congressional hearing where it was demonstrated that Hur lied and omitted facts to spin that narrative?

              You just said he alleviated doubts ……but now you say he was found to be lying ?

              What are you trying to say ?

              Look, a few weeks ago, the democrats went out of their way to defend a doddery old man and told you everything was fine. Then when polling data changed, They kicked him out him, and started using age and infirmity as an attack line.

              If you don’t see hypocrisy in that, and you don’t see the lack of integrity in that, and the general cheap shittery in that, then you are part of the great unthinking electorate .
