Happy Monday Garfield!

Your list of "Things That Didn't Exist" when Biden was born is priceless. Pre-Bikini?! Oh, Lord!

As for having to "rationalize" voting for Trump at his age, I've said it before: I could support Trump for a True First Term (TM). The one thing that would stop me is if I see any signs of him slowing down mentally. Biden was unfit even while running. Trump still has his wits about him. I don't mind DeSantis at all--he hasn't put a foot wrong politically--but has anyone faced The Storm the way Trump has? Including what Roger Kimball called the "wheeze" of yet another Special Counsel?

CBS, like the NYT, is not a fair press entity. Glad they beclowned themselves.

Your sendup of Trump's own tweet supporting DeSantis made me smile.

I'm not worried about Biden being old. I'm worried about him being incompetent, stupid, corrupt, and beholden to anti-American ideologies -- traits which are not universal among octogenarians, or even septuagenarians, for that matter.

I'll admit I am not an expert, but my understanding is that "natural-born citizen" does not necessarily mean "born in the US or its territories." Rather, it means "citizen from birth." A child born overseas to US-citizen-parents would himself be a US citizen. In a twist that is unusual in the rest of the world, the US also grants citizenship-from-birth to any child born on US soil, regardless of their parents' citizenship status. If Harry and Meagan pop out another one while living in LA, there will be an American citizen lurking in the line of succession to the British throne.

That NY Times article on that toxic mediocrity turning 80... that CBS "News" article on the Hunter Biden laptop...

I would say "Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining," but they'd respond, "Oh, no, we're absolutely pissing on you."

Hey if you use the 1955 date, he's older than McDonalds too.

"I wonder why Biden and all his enablers tried to make us believe the story was โ€œRussian disinformation,โ€ just a few weeks before the 2020 election? Guess weโ€™ll never know."

If only there was an organization of individuals who could look into this sort of thing, you know... investigate it and all that shit? I know it's a crazy idea, but I think it would be totes cool!

I'm reminded of how "journalism" is held in such low regard by those who actually graduate with such a shit degree, it's the most regretted major out there. Even worse than Sociology! I mean, with sociology they at least teach you how to work the controls on a Faema espresso machine.

Faema was, by the way, a long time sponsor of the greatest cyclist who ever trod this planet: Eddy Merckx. Eddy won everything possible; 11 Grand Tours, with 64 individual stage wins. Set the Hour Record back when high tech was "drill lots of damn holes in the bike and every damn component" and won every damn classic worth winning. Did he cheat? Well, it was a different time, kids ...

Another stellar submission.

Fav line: "Thereโ€™s a lot of talk about โ€œsafetyโ€ right now, which means โ€œI donโ€™t want to hear what this person says, and I donโ€™t want anybody else to hear it either.โ€ "

Not only do I love that you actually concoct these sentiments in your brain, but that you throw them down on the page with a 'So there!' attitude.

It's one of the reasons I look forward to 12:00 straight up in the PM so's I can be wonderfully entertained. Thanks.

All politicians lie, of course. But only some get called on it by the MSM, and only some tell truths that get called lies by the MSM. Can you guess what those politicians have in common?

Thanks for even a brief post.

The problem with all the politicians being old is that they will never have to live with the consequences (intended or not) of their lawmaking. They only have to think of the here and now, how many friends they would make, votes they would buy, goodies they bring to their home state. Itโ€™s the young that will deal with the real fall- out and thus they should be making decisions. (And my young I mean middle age, had had a job, not the children who still believe in the fairy tale of socialism/communism)
