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, hasnāt joined Donald Trump, 77, and other Republicans who have attacked Bidenās age, health and mental acuity as he seeks re-election.
And after McConnellās second freeze-up last week, Biden was one of the first to call McConnell, telling reporters that his āfriendā sounded like āhis old selfā and that such episodes are a āpart of his recoveryā from a fall and a concussion this year.
If trump were smart, (lol, bear with me) he would say āpeople didnāt mind voting for Biden at this age, so they shouldnāt 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 basementā 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 āwe 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 weāre going to have beautiful vaccines, the very very best vaccines, and weāre gonna use so much of them you wonāt believe how great we are at beating this virus, weāre gonna be sick of being healthy.ā 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 āvaccines will give you rabies and chemically castrate youā 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 āpure bloodedā lmao
These people do not have brains.
what a timeline that would be
Not only that, but he couldāve made millions off of red maga facemasks too. All he had to do was let the experts run the shit theyāre experts in while taking credit for putting the right people on top of it. The election wouldnāt have even been close. It wouldāve been like the Reagan reelection.
