But "Sleepy Joe" Biden...right? I feel that there should be a hard cap age limit of POTUS, VP, Congress, SCOTUS, and the cabinet.

File this under the incomplete MAGA cliche "We support our troops!"

The parts they always leave out are "As long as they're killing people we don't like, ..." and "..until they come home."

I don't know what else to say here, except do not allow others' loss of basic humanity to affect your own.
So when the American people, together, spend years researching and building and funding a campaign to save people's lives ... what we do matters.

And when a couple rich guys say, "Nah, in my personal opinion that's all a joke and a waste of money, we'll cancel it" — then 400,000 children die.
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This was never about his politics for me. It is a moral issue. The fact that so many Americans did not agree was soul shaking to me. This has never been true of another candidate. I can disagree with policies and accept when my candidate loses. This is different. Very, very different.

They were in the same drawer at the White House as Trump's tax returns, Trump's health care plan, and Melania's immigration documents.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

“How in the world could you be focused on building a literally gilded ballroom—for fancy parties for your rich friends, at the exact moment when working Americans, who voted for you, are getting screwed by your healthcare policy, and you don’t seem to be interested in helping them,” Buttigieg said.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.
