Again - look at the alternative.  Joe with full blown dementia would be a better bet than the orange baby.

Who arguably has it compared to Joe.

[Jerry_Atrick]

This is a vid of Jo at the White House Press Club Dinner. Suggest start watching it at around 9:45... Good humoured bloke compared to the alternative.

 

With a bit of a punch at the end.

He's a doddering example of dementia ?????????????????

Thanks old K ....  I knew that billy hughes was bad, but I didn't know just how bad. Was he the one who tried again and again to bring in conscription in Australia?

[nomadpete]

Thanks Jerry.

 

A well written speech, with all jokes making a point with regard to numerous recent crazy events.

 

Only marred by his somewhat slurred speech which may have always been like that.

Did he have two teleprompters or did he actually memorise it?

 

Refreshing to hear more than just the usual distorted sound bites that MSM generally offer us.

[Jerry_Atrick]

The slurred speech events are usually him controlling his stutter

Is there any evidence of the Tangerine Todder ever trying to control his own (multiple) defects?

Wonderful how people are getting older these days...  king Charles 3rd has only got there well after many of his predecessors were dead first.

And I'm still flying!  Mind you, there are forces of darkness trying to stop me, they reckon 77 is old.

There is no age limit, just competency and medically fit.

 

I read an article somewhere about a bloke from Victoria who was still flying a Tiger Moth at 96.

Stan Tilley down here is a bit of a legend, used to do acrobatic displays in his CT4.

AFAIK he's still flying from a strip near my place and I'm pretty sure he's in his 90s.

[Old Koreelah]

Was he once a swimming coach? My other half trained under a Stan Tilley and helped coach an Olympic Gold Medalist.

I had a TILLEY lamp and they are very Bright.  Nev

Don't think so - he ran an automotive parts business here for years, "Tilley Auto Parts".

Here's Biden on the 'Late Night' show talking about concerns over his age and other issues.

 

 

[Mr.Vegemite]

The man can't finish a sentence and when he gets "stuck" he says "I don't want to get started". Personally I'd love to hear him "get started". Finish what you were saying. But he can't. His mind is a jumble ....

I'm gob-smacked at the lack of young politicians in the US that can't get a foot-hold in the Presidency. But don't get me started .... 😉

 

[facthunter]

With age should come wisdom.  A product of experience, observation. and thought. No matter how old Trump gets he'll just be desperate,  insecure and dangerous. . Nev

It's all about the time taken to develop the political acumen and connections. JFK was in his mid-forties when he was elected. However, he was riding on the political connections and money of his father. 

 

I posted elsewhere that a lot of current world leaders are in their forties/early fifties, which makes them children of the mid 60s to the end of the 70s. They are the Gen-Xers.  Generation X benefited from a time of economic prosperity. As a result, they experienced and embraced small business and entrepreneurial opportunities. Now, they are doing things differently to the generations that went before them.

 

In ages past, these would have been the community elders, those from earlier generations having passed on.

[onetrack]

When a cynical mate and I were discussing politicians ages, many years ago - and I remarked at the lack of younger politicians, he replied with, "You do know the reason why there's no younger politicians, don't you? It's because you don't learn to lie properly, until you're 40!!"

Someone said in a Big Ideas segment last night - it's not that we don't trust politicians because they lie, we don't trust them because they're incompetent. 

I think there's something in that.

[facthunter]

Little kids are the most accomplished liars around.. Like My sister fell down the stairs by herself after she said I was FAT.  Nev

[Marty_d]

Bet your sister never said that again Nev.
