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.

    Yeah I don’t think the people who say “prick a liberal and a fascist bleeds” have functioning brains. I basically view you the way I view people who eat horse paste and don’t trust vaccines.

    I’m glad you’re done responding tho, because of aforementioned opinion of you.

          That wasn’t a complaint. Or, I guess it was? You’re non-monogamous, you like Peter Watts. In every post, except the political, we have a lot in common. But, fuck, the politics are not just a small difference. It’s like when someone you dislike likes all the things you do. :/

            You can always just choose to be correct instead of not.

      Don’t worry, I just read your insane foreign policy opinions in other threads. You’re insane. You want to start WW3.

      A top to bottom American Imperialist who justifies every foreign policy position America has ever taken, no matter how evil.

      Even the ones that committed those foreign policy blunders have publicly admitted were wrong. Obama publicly admitted he regretted the US’s role in the Libyan war.
