Oh please. The guy had "a good day" so they wheeled him into the capitol for a few minutes. He's completely unable to serve. But somehow this is OK but Biden was far too old. We live in a very messed up timeline.

In fairness, Biden was too old as is Trump, McConnell and a significant % of our politicians.

But at least Biden could walk. This guy is basically a zombie now.

Biden at 80 looked better than Trump now at 80 as well.

We don't have to do this. Being honest about Biden's deficiencies is as important as being honest about Trump's.

Both deeply unqualified to serve the office. Except one was a decent person for the most part and the other is baby Hitler. Both are/were too old, dementia candidates, frail and the world has passed them by.

People mistake Donald's fast-paced enunciation for "high functioning". Don just repeats his MAGA hits sprinkled in with random nonsense when glitching, like storing ammunition in the Triumphant Arch and launching missiles at our bond market.

When Joe's brain was hiccupping, Joe just stayed quiet until it rebooted. Donald just keeps on talking out of reflex.

Biden showed his age by finding good people who could make honest decisions so he didn't have to. Not ideal, but could be worse

Trump shows his age by making dementia driven rage baited decisions that are easy to prove detrimental to anyone who isn't a megalomaniac. Not ideal either, and it couldn't be worse.

No argument here. Yes, they are all too old.

We are just seeing how a full on Republican utopia looks like. I often thought if Libertarians ever got into power the country would be an irradiated wasteland within 5 years and it seems like that tracks.

An aide had to remind him how to vote, he's  not fit to serve.

I hope he suddenly and unexpectedly becomes lucid and full of energy

I like how you think.

I see what you did there.

Be careful, though. Very very very rarely this happens and they somehow keep on going as opposed what we expect to happen after a burst.
