Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell struck up a friendship during their nearly quarter-century in the Senate together. Now in their 80s, the Democratic president and the Senate GOP leader appear to be giving political cover to each other as they fend off questions about their advanced age and health issues.
Notably, McConnell, R-Ky., 81, hasn’t joined Donald Trump, 77, and other Republicans who have attacked Biden’s age, health and mental acuity as he seeks re-election.
And after McConnell’s second freeze-up last week, Biden was one of the first to call McConnell, telling reporters that his “friend” sounded like “his old self” and that such episodes are a “part of his recovery” from a fall and a concussion this year.
Gee, I had no idea that it was his responsibility alone to run this government.
The u.s has a sickness. You guys are such sycophants for your politicians. It’s like watching a sports team fandom, but for politics.
Answer him you coward
There is no answer to cult fandom. The u.s is two cults, one more conservative than the other and when you call out a democrat they immediately go tribal and call you a right winger, without thinking that to me you’re the one who is way too fucking conservative.
You guys will blame each other for everything the government does, while saying “it’s not my guys fault, he’s only president he has no power!” With a straight face. You guys are fucked, utterly fucked if you’ve gone tribal and thrown up Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders as your examples of what politics should be.
I’m not American so I don’t have a horse in the race beyond how much your country’s sick politics infect mine. You guys are all gross. Stop defending billionaires and politicians.
But you didn’t call anyone out. You made an ignorant statement, and then deflected when you were confronted.
The irony of going on a “both sides” rant because you were called on your bullshit on an independent senator out of all things. One of the few 2 or 3 senator that isn’t part of this tribal cult you’re going on about. You really sound like an ignorant stupid person tbh.
