McConnell’s freezes complicate Republican attacks on Biden’s age
nbcnews.com
Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell struck up a friendship during their nearly quarter-century in the Senate together. Now in their 80s, the Democratic president and the Senate GOP leader appear to be giving political cover to each other as they fend off questions about their advanced age and health issues.
Notably, McConnell, R-Ky., 81, hasn’t joined Donald Trump, 77, and other Republicans who have attacked Biden’s age, health and mental acuity as he seeks re-election.
And after McConnell’s second freeze-up last week, Biden was one of the first to call McConnell, telling reporters that his “friend” sounded like “his old self” and that such episodes are a “part of his recovery” from a fall and a concussion this year.

There's a 4 year age gap between Trump and Biden. Funny how 4 years ago Trump was saying Biden was too old for the job...
If trump were smart, (lol, bear with me) he would say "people didn't mind voting for Biden at this age, so they shouldn't mind me at this age either. But I promise not to run after the age of 80, unlike that frail old man who just wants to hide in his basement" or some shit like that. He lies all the fucking time, so he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by spinning that just a little bit.
If Trump were smart, he would have also said "we have the best scientists, and I only hire the best, you know, my personal friend Dr Fauci agrees with me that all patriots should wear masks to beat the China virus, and we're going to have beautiful vaccines, the very very best vaccines, and we're gonna use so much of them you won't believe how great we are at beating this virus, we're gonna be sick of being healthy." and would probably have handily won reelection.
I mean, he did at first. Lmao and then (idk the order in which it happened) he flipped with his base to "vaccines will give you rabies and chemically castrate you" when they started coming out. He initially bragged about how fast he was helping companies develop the vaccine, then it came out and he decided to trash them
They celebrate Operation Warp Speed at the same time they talk about being "pure blooded" lmao
These people do not have brains.
what a timeline that would be
Not only that, but he could've made millions off of red maga facemasks too. All he had to do was let the experts run the shit they're experts in while taking credit for putting the right people on top of it. The election wouldn't have even been close. It would've been like the Reagan reelection.
