America Stuck in a Gerontocracy, We Need Much Younger Republican and Democratic Leaders

Old Farts

Last week’s January 6 Committee hearing featured a video depicting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressing her desire to punch Donald Trump on January 6, 2021.

Understandably, emotions were running high on Insurrection Day, but since the release of the video she hasn’t walked back her words. I’m sure she would punch Trump if she ever met him in private.

Can you imagine 82-year-old Pelosi delivering a haymaker punch to 76-year-old Trump. Before the punch landed, Trump would have time to change his diapers and comb his urine-colored hair.

The geriatric old farts in leadership positions in the Republican and Democratic parties have permeated the political process with an unspeakable stench.

I would love to see Pelosi and Trump in the boxing ring, but even better would be a Battle Royale featuring Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Grassley, Dianne Feinstein, Jim Risch, Bernie Sanders, Mitch McConnell, Patrick Leahy, Chuck Schumer, Richard Shelby and Jim Inhofe.

Hopefully none of these old men and women with white entitlement up the wazoo would survive the Battle Royale.

It’s time for a younger and more diverse generation to take over. I’m sick and tired of these old farts, they stink to high heaven, every last one of them.  

Biden Turns 80 Next Month, God Help Us

Jope Biden

An 80th birthday is a milestone that is celebrated and cherished; you throw a bodacious birthday bash for a man who has beaten the odds and lived to become an octogenarian.

Most 80th birthday parties are held in retirement homes of one kind or another, and the nursing staff reminds the birthday boy to put on his choppers so he can enjoy his birthday cake.

President Joe Biden will turn 80 next month, becoming the first commander-in-chief to become an octogenarian while in office. (How scary is that?)

Biden is suffering from severe mental decline, and I doubt that he will remember his birthday, unless his reminded by his spouse or his aides. The White House will no doubt hold a low-key celebration, because the last thing the administration wants is to remind the electorate that Biden is older than dirt just a few days before the midterms.

If Biden runs for reelection and wins, he would be 82 when he takes the oath of office for the second time.

It’s incumbent upon Biden’s wife, his aides and Democratic leaders to beg him not to run for reelection. It’s time for a new generation of leaders, Trump belongs in an insane asylum and Biden belongs in a retirement home.

America Doesn’t Deserve to Survive as a Democracy If It’s Biden vs Trump Again in 2024

Biden vs Trump

Most Democrats grudgingly admit that Biden’s mental acuity is on the decline, but they argue that dealing with his cognitive issues is a small price to pay considering his commitment to democracy, racial equality and the liberal agenda.

Their mindset seems to be: Old Joe has always been a gaffe machine, and now that he’s almost eighty the bats in his belfry are in a frenzy, but a kind man suffering from dementia is better than a psychopath suffering from mental decline.

True, Biden is a thousandfold better than Trump, but why should we have to settle for a batty octogenarian in the White House in 2024?

There is nothing amusing or endearing about President Joe Biden’s alarming cognitive decline. I wince, not smile, when he shakes hands with one of his imaginary friends. It’s cute when your grandpa shakes hands with invisible people, but it’s terrifying when the President of the United States and Leader of the Free World is manifestly delusional.

There are too many geriatric incumbents of both parties in leadership positions, it’s time to hand the baton to a younger generation.

If it’s Biden vs Trump again in 2024, America doesn’t deserve to survive as a democracy.

Biden’s Philadelphia Speech Interrupted by Pro-Trump Hecklers

Biden

Donald Trump stump speeches are so inflammatory, fiery and chock full of racist dog whistles, that any audience member with a shred of decency and integrity is almost compelled to heckle him.

During Trump’s two presidential runs he was often heckled, and he always responded by threatening hecklers with violence.

During last night’s speech about protecting democracy against Trump and his MAGA followers, Biden was frequently interrupted with cries of “Fuck Joe Biden” and “Let’s go Brandon”, a more polite way of expressing the same hateful sentiment.

President Joe Biden answered hecklers by reminding everyone that profane and obnoxious critics have their place, too. “They’re entitled to be outrageous, he said. “This is a democracy.”

The hecklers interrupting Biden’s speech with obscenities proved the premise of his speech that Trump’s MAGA supporters are unhinged and dangerous.

And Biden’s response proved that he understands that in a democracy even boorish hecklers are tolerated and not threatened with violence.

If the choice in 2024 is once again Trump vs Biden, anyone who heard the president’s speech last night knows that a vote for Biden is a vote for democracy and a vote for Trump is a vote for tyranny.

Befuddled Biden Struggles to Put on His Jacket

A video, posted to Twitter by the verified account “RNC Research” depicts the septuagenarian President Joe Biden desperately struggling to put on his jacket for an interminable 43 seconds, and then to add insult to insult, the bumbling Leader of the Free World, drops his signature aviator glasses.

I get that Biden had just stepped off Marine One, and he had to contend with the wind generated by the helicopter’s blade, but if it takes him almost a minute to figure out how to put on his jacket, that’s a sign of cognitive decline.

Not to mention that Biden needed the help of his longsuffering wife to put on his damn jacket. Makes you wonder if the first lady helps him put on his pants in the morning.

Biden was wearing a mask, and that’s just one too many things for the befuddled Biden to juggle at one time. Mask, sunglasses, jacket, something had to give.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney Apologizes for Saying She Doesn’t Think Joe Biden Will Run for Reelection

“On Tuesday night, Maloney appeared with her two rivals for New York’s 12th Congressional District for a debate hosted by NY1 and WNYC. During a lightning round, Maloney, Rep. Jerry Nadler and Suraj Patel were all asked if Biden should run in 2024.

‘I don’t believe he’s running for reelection,’ Maloney said.”

Huffington Post

During a lightning round portion of a debate a candidate is pressured into providing more truthful and less nuanced answers. Rep. Maloney was honest in expressing a belief that a 79-year-old president, in obvious cognitive decline, wasn’t going to run for reelection.

If Biden was asked in a lighting round session of a debate “how would you defend Taiwan if China invaded the island nation?”, I wouldn’t be surprised if the cognitively-challenged septuagenarian answered, “I would make Corn Pop an admiral, he wouldn’t need more than a tugboat to save Taiwan, because he’s a bad dude.”

On Thursday, Maloney offered the following apology, demonstrating once again why citizens despise wishy washy politicians:

“Mr. President, I apologize. I want you to run. You are a great president and thank you for everything you’ve done for my state and all the states and all the cities in America.”

Maloney had nothing to apologize about, it’s reasonable to believe that a senile president with approval ratings in the 30’s shouldn’t run for reelection.

Maloney apologized only because she wants the full backing of the Democrat Party in her own reelection effort.

Biden Must Announce He’s Not Running for Reelection Now

The likelihood that President Joe Biden will have serious primary challengers is rising as his polling numbers continue to sink, inflation continues to rise and his cognitive skills continue to decline.

A serious primary challenge to a sitting president is rare, but then again, we’ve never had a septuagenarian president who’s manifestly physical frail and cognitively impaired.

In 1980 President Jimmy Carter was able to successfully fend off a primary challenge by Senator Ted Kennedy, but the effort left him weak and battered and he ultimately lost to Ronald Reagan.

There is a slim to zero chance that a cognitively challenged Biden will come to his senses, announce that he’s not running for reelection and thereby avoid a contentious battle for the nomination. Biden has white privilege up the wazoo, and too much pride to do what’s good for his party and the country.

It’s becoming increasingly likely that Donald Trump will announce that he’s running for president before the mid term elections. I would advise Democrat presidential hopefuls like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Illinois Governor J. B Pritzker to do likewise.

It takes years to mount a successful presidential campaign, and it’s imperative that serious presidential hopefuls declare their candidacy as soon as possible.

Biden is a stubborn imbecile and he doesn’t deserve any deference or respect, I beg the likes of Newsom and Pritzker to begin their presidential campaigns now.

Democrats and democracy itself can’t survive a Joe Biden or Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign.

Joe Biden’s Bike Fall a Timely Reminder He’s Too Old to Run for Reelection

President Joe Biden tumbled when he tried to dismount from his bike at the end of a ride Saturday at Cape Henlopen State Park near his beach home in Delaware, but he insisted he wasn’t injured.

Biden’s $599.00 Trek FX 1 Bide was tricked out to the max with a ton of accessories, including a wireless computer, a coiled cable lock, a bottle cage, and a rear-view mirror attached to the handlebars.

But the accessory that the accident-prone septuagenarian really needs are training wheels.

A reporter caught Biden walking gingerly out of church later that day, and asked him if he was OK, and he “hopped” a millimeter off the ground to “prove” he was just fine.

Biden is far from OK; his diminished mental acuity and physical agility should make him reconsider running for reelection.

Biden needs physical therapy for balance training and strengthening of his muscles and he would be well-advised to engage in brain training games to improve his cognition skills.

Biden rides his bike, with his retinue of Secret Service in tow in an attempt to prove he’s healthy, but he’s not fooling anyone. Not a good look, even Brad Pitt looks awful silly wearing a bike helmet.

Who Will be Named ‘Time Person of the Year’: Biden, Trump, Fauci or Movement for Racial Justice?

Trump has abdicated his responsibilities as president of the United States, and is wasting away the last days of his moribund administration sulking and trying to stage a coup in broad daylight.

But I predict he will stop tweeting his insane conspiracy theories about a rigged election long enough to watch NBC News at 10 p.m. tonight when TIME will reveal its 2020 “Person of the Year.”

As much as Trump rails against the mainstream news he seeks their validation. Last year Trump was furious when TIME named 16-year-old environmentalist activist Greta Thunberg as “Person of the Year” instead of the man-baby climate change-denying commander-in-chief.

Each year the magazine selects an individual, group or organization who has “greatly impacted the country and the world during the calendar year”, for good or ill.

This year’s finalists are: President-elect Joe Biden, the movement for racial justice, Dr. Anthony Fauci and front-line workers, and Donald Trump.

The movement for racial justice has brought the issues of police brutality against minorities, criminal-justice reform and systemic racism to the forefront, but I don’t think it will win.

Joe Biden is certainly deserving of the recognition; his campaign was given the last rites after his horrible showing in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, but the moderate septuagenarian was resurrected in South Carolina by Rep. Jim Clyburn’s endorsement and he went on to win the Democratic presidential nomination and capture the White House. But if Time anoints him as “Person of the Year”, Trump might lose it completely and nuke North Korea, and Time doesn’t want to be responsible for ushering in Armageddon.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has spoken truth to power and told America the unvarnished truth about the pandemic, and I predict he will be rewarded for putting science ahead of servility and integrity ahead of expediency.
