President Joe Biden is arguing that “there is something dangerous happening in America” as he revives his warnings that Donald Trump and his allies represent an existential threat to the country’s democratic institutions.
“There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA movement,” Biden says in excerpts of the speech Thursday in Arizona, released in advance by the White House, referring Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan.
Although voting in the 2024 Republican primary doesn’t begin for months, Biden’s focus reflects Trump’s status as the undisputed frontrunner for his party’s nomination despite facing four indictments, two of them related to his attempts to overturn Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
I didn’t say that, but I know whoever your guy is they didn’t win and it makes you mad.
And?
I don’t think anyone is too young or too old to be in government. Capacity to perform the duties required of the office isn’t reflected in a number.
No one at any age represents the country purely by their age. We are a country of geriatrics, children, young adults, middle aged, and retirees.
Age is a risk factor but centenarians can be perfectly lucid while 55 year olds can get Alzheimer’s. It’s not a linear correlation, despite what you seem to think.
Okay dropping the whole “owning people on lemmy” schtick because I can’t stop myself from laughing at that first point. Genuinely, please dear god - if you weren’t referring to Trump being my guy by saying “can we not have people” while replying to me with a comment ending in “their guy”, then who in the gosh darn h*ck were you talking about? Are they in the room with us now?
