@Horace said in Happy Birthday, Mr. President: @brenda said in Happy Birthday, Mr. President: @George-K said in Happy Birthday, Mr. President: 80 years young. On Sunday, Biden will reach a major milestone when he is expected to spend his 80th birthday quietly with his family, many of whom will be at the White House to mark another occasion: His granddaughter Naomi’s wedding. Biden allies say they know the day will be used by his rivals, who want to cast the president as lacking the energy and mental acuity needed for the job. The question is increasingly relevant, critics say, as Biden considers reelection, though the president’s supports say the age-based attacks are markedly unfair. “I’m sure Republicans will use the day to remind everyone that he’s some out-of-it octogenarian, which couldn’t be farther from the truth,” one Biden ally said. Michael Eric Dyson, the renowned scholar who met with Biden last year as part of a small group of historians, said this of the GOP criticism: “Joe Biden has proven time and again that it’s, as he would call it, malarky.” “When we see LeBron James and Tom Brady performing 20 years into their careers, that’s the indication that 80 may be the new 60, and I’m all for it,” Dyson said. “The reason he can fall off his bicycle is because he was on it in the first damn place,” he added. Just read that the 28-year-old granddaughter and her boyfriend live in the White House. They are both professionals with jobs that pay well, and they live with Joe. No need to rent a venue for the wedding. It will be at the White House. Jill Biden’s staff says the Biden family is paying for the wedding. Oh boy, the amenities that come with that address. And no rent ? Joe wouldn't charge them rent, would he?

Still hate them over the Nola No-call.

@taiwan_girl said in Hay Brenda (and 89th)! A Minnesoooota contest!: Maybe they are sending some of those snowplows to Buffalo NY Buffalo could certainly use more plows and drivers right now.

@jon-nyc said in A Storied Tradition: @Mik said in A Storied Tradition: Same figures I got. The telling figure is the 88% outside money. You have Citizens United v FEC to thank for that. Correctly decided but disastrous.

@taiwan_girl yeah, and the video of the guy doing lipo on his moobs is just too much. (no mask, btw)

I only heard of it as an adult. Charming story. But then so many older children's stories have adult themes in them. Fairy tales were decidedly lessons for children.

@Mik said in Feeding the Monster: You borrowed it, you spent it, now pay it back. I agree. It is an obligation.

Raising the price of oil on poor widows will fix the environment.

This argument has been ongoing for years. The fact is, it is not self-evident that Elon is a genius, business or otherwise, even after all his success.

Vengeance is poor Justice.

That is just crazy!! (The snow that is)

@Copper said in COP27 goes into overtime: For Mr. Biden, the climate is more important than anything. The beauty of this is, over the course of a few years, it is impossible to measure in any meaningful way. This allows him to claim victory before the next election. He has saved the world from, and for, mankind. Climate victory and zero coup instigations oughta be enough for a solid 51% majority.

That is funny. I have also heard that you sign into a meeting with the name Connecting..................... And keep your video off and microphone muted.
