    Where do you see surprise? What, you think he is just immune from criticism because of his age, so that commenter must simply be unaware that he’s old? Theres nothing about biden people are more aware of!

      In the way people pretend that he isn’t talking like every old person in the entire world talks.

      And the way they pretend it’s weird that an old man isn’t walking as spritely as a 20-year-old.

      Don’t expect an old man to be a young man.

          You don’t hear anybody complaining about how he walks or how he talks?

          You aren’t reading any of these comments?

          That’s all I keep hearing references to.

          Nobody can keep in mind his administration’s policies if he isn’t doing cartwheels, apparently.

              Nah mate, if you’re having this much trouble reading in the first place, I don’t see the point in providing further examples.

                You havent provided one! Youve accused someone of saying things they did not say, because you cannot defend against what they actually said. Bidens health and mental coherence are being judged as a candidate of US president, not as an old person. Being old does not grant any immunity from these criticisms

                  Nobody said being old grants you immunity from people teasing you about being old.

                  One would hope that four surprisingly progressive years would carry more weight than how many somersaults you can do.

                  As you’ve pointed out, people really like somersaults.
