What in the name of [insert name of deity here] are you talking about? Do you even know?

Hey fresh mouth smarty pants- I am talking about NPR being reported here as talking about Biden's age as well. They could be talking about the age and mental capacity of others.

You make a good point that media are responding to the situation by using the MAGA framing of the situation, when they should be celebrating the achievements and continued competence of a seasoned politician and a decent human. However, NPR is not the only one doing it. It is a general shortcut taken by all media, and we must find a way to reframe the debate.

Gee, I missed that. Somehow I thought that today's letter was devoted to Biden's extraordinary speech yesterday. Well, maybe I'm getting old.

Getting old? You are using that as an excuse and smarty pants sarcasm again for being plain rude including when it is not necessary. Some are hopeless because they do not hear themselves and don't understand the reaction they get- Not to mention that SOME don't know how to have a conversation or what is actually related to it. Yeah you missed a lot.

I did answer to you your question right out of the gate, repeating myself. That is no excuse for your response. You are still trying to excuse yourself. Here's a question for you. Do you know how to have a conversation? Here is another question: why don't you contribute your answer?

Gentlepeople, please don't fight each other. We're all in this together. Re-read Biden's speech and take a deep breath and let's get to work.
