The problem is not that Biden is "old." Trump is too. I'm 80 and believe me there is not that much difference between me and many other 3 years younger. The problem is the idea that "old" means "infirm" and even worse, that "infirm in body" necessarily means infirm in mind.

What shows infirmity of mind is not searching for a word, but totally babbling. There is NOTHING Biden has ever said that approaches the good old battery-shark-electrocute speech. Not by orders of magnitude.

And the greatest problem is the absolute duplicity of the edits of the recent "cheapfakes." The edits themselves visually might be fairly innocuous, just causing one to wonder what the reason Biden might have for looking off to his left (G7) or walking off to his right (D-Day). We aren't left to wonder: we are TOLD what to think--pretty much standard for the GOP nowadays--and what we are told to think is a flat out lie.

MAGATs themselves seem perfectly happy with a world view based on lies, and their enablers seem perfectly happy to repeat or create those lies. But I'm not really convinced, polls be damned, that the majority of the American people are, even in a swing state. And so the relentless lying has to be brought to the attention to all those who still regard truth as some sort of virtue. Sure, political ads on both sides will shade truth or take things out of context--we all really expect that spin. But these are being presented as NEWS, and faker than such "news" the MSM never has approached.
