Donald Trump paused his attacks on Kamala Harris to bring up Biden's age, which was a frequent target during his campaign.

    He can’t stop talking about Biden even though he’s not his opponent anymore.

      It’s more so that now he’s trying to walk back the months of harping on age and mental fitness, since now he’s the one that those claims hurt.

      I think the fact that Biden “won” by not playing haunts him. I think he’s genuinely incapable of understanding that there’s more to the world than “winning” and “losing”.

            topsy was not electrocuted by edison, it is one of the urban legends that will probably never die.

            it is still sad story and every time i am hearing it i wish i could personally electrocute few of those fuckers who tortured her through her life.

    It’s because they have countless statements from Trump from 2020 saying Biden was too old, and now Trump is the same age…. Great fodder for attack ads. “Biden is old, many people are saying it.” “I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message, Trump is the same age as Biden 2020.

    81 > really old, too old. but actually not too old. Biden at 81 though, specifically is too old

    60 > definitely still old, thought she was younger, still old for a woman and very radical.

    Maybe Biden was too old, probably so in my opinion.

    Trump is definitely too old— as well as the litany of other horse shit wrong with him.

    Not the least of which is being a convicted creepy, weird, rapey felon; and selling state secrets to unwashed assholes who want to destroy the West.

    “But clearly I am” he muttered in an elusive moment of clarity and honesty, “not due to my age, but my inability to change a lifetime of petty, racist and profoundly insecure personality traits which despite inexplicably bringing me unearned wealth and fame give me no joy and leave me incapable of finding the love and self respect that will forever elude me” he added, whining as is his nature to do.

    Beside Project 2025 and everything fascist he says and clings to to get elected so he doesn’t have to face judgement, you’ve got got to admit that sometimes he is hilarious. Unintentionally mind you, but still so funny.

    Like this could have been an Onion headline or a sketch about how his whole campaign was ‘Biden old’ and now he’s caught with his pants down when Biden is no longer on the ticket. Next up he’s gonna claim Biden faked being demented so he could ruin Donalds campaign by dropping out. It’s all a conspiracy, folks…

    I’d be dumbstruck if Kamala loses this at this point. It’s astounding to see how a campaign could swing so hard after such a fumbled debate and a literal assassination attempt.

      The people that wanted to bury their heads in the sand and treated the people calling for Biden to drop out like shit should maybe do some reflection, because it was obvious as hell that something needed to change. There was no path forward that way, and Biden should get a medal for swallowing his pride and doing the right thing.

    I wonder how Biden feels about the only people who want to see him run are racist.

    If he understood how to do basic math he’d know that when Biden was elected he was about the same age as Trump is now. But common sense was never the objective here even if he could do basic math.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
