Well, it's true, the man is 79 years old. The thing is, I seriously doubt Biden would have run for president against a more rational, sane, and ethical republican candidate. But Biden knew he had a chance to win, and like many of us, he was massively concerned about Trump being re-elected. Biden ran, won, and prevented that from happening. Maybe instead of grousing about his age, we should be thanking our lucky stars we didn't end up with four more years of Trump. And in the mean time, let's do whatever it takes to not have Trump elected again.

Yeah, for sure. Let's hope that bar gets raised one day.

Q Thank you, President Biden. If sanctions cannot stop President Putin, what penalty can?
THE PRESIDENT: I didn’t say sanctions couldn’t stop him.
Q But you’ve been talking about the threat of these sanctions for several weeks now —
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, but the threat of the sanctions and imposing the sanctions and seeing the effect of the sanctions are two different things.
Q Okay, but —
THE PRESIDENT: They’re two different things. And we’re now going to — he’s going to begin to see the effect of the sanctions.
Q And what will that do — how will that change his mindset here, given he’s attacking Ukraine as we speak?
THE PRESIDENT: Because it will so weaken his country that he’ll have to make a very, very difficult choices of whether to continue to move toward being a second-rate power or, in fact, respond.
Q You said, in recent weeks, that big nations cannot bluff when it comes to something like this. You recently said that the idea of personally sanctioning President Putin was on the table. Is that a step that you’re prepared to take? And if not —
THE PRESIDENT: It’s not a bluff; it’s on the table.
Q Sanctioning President Putin?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
Q Why not sanction him today, sir? Why not sanction him today, sir?
Q Mr. President —
Q Mr. President, if I can, you detailed some severe and swift new sanctions today and said the impact it will have over time, but given the full-scale invasion, given that you’re not pursuing disconnecting Russia from what’s called “SWIFT” — the international banking system — or other sanctions at your disposal, respectfully, sir, what more are you waiting for?
THE PRESIDENT: Specifically, the sanctions we’ve imposed exceed SWIFT. The sanctions we imposed exceed anything that’s ever been done. The sanctions we imposed have generated two thirds of the world joining us. They are profound sanctions. Let’s have a conversation in another month or so to see if they’re working.
Yes.

My dad thought he could cure me by making me practice talking. So in the 3rd grade he would have me recite my times tables to practice talking. Within just a couple weeks my teacher would send me next door to the 4th class for math lessons…but I still stuttered.0 -
I have a friend from college who has a stutter. In terms of cognition, it's nothing. At least that's what I think...he's a really smart guy.
And I do think that's part of what's going on with Biden. But he's not as sharp as he used to be, which makes sense given his age. But is he the ideal person to hold that job? I don't think so. He's only there because the Dems did not have a deep bench and he's connected to Obama while still not coming across as a hard-core liberal.
The Dems really need to get a couple people into the national fold. Obama is the last person to really ascend and he did that 15 years ago.1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine
