When was the last time Biden visited Chicago? Tongue and cheek I tell you, tongue and cheek. Can age affect competence? Should Joe be playing shuffle board instead of leading the country? Most people at his physical age should be retired, this way if they fall asleep in mid speech people would likely think of it as cute, but this kind of thing has made him the laughing stock of the world. Instead of egging him on, we as responsible Americans should be extremely concerned with his next decision.
Fact, or fiction?

He's very old, why we need limits on not just a minimum age to be POTUS, but a maximum age too. say 35-70.
Only about 1/3 of Democrats and Left-leaning people want Biden to run for a second term, so there's a high possibly they'll get him to not run again.
If so, Gavin Newsom's very likely going to run and he has a platform of running the world's 5th largest economy into a surplus. I suspect you'll see some former runners like Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, maybe Liz Warren. Not sure if Bernie Sanders would run again, he'd be 82. Doubt Tulsi Gabbard would show her face again.
-Over 520k jobs added in July
-Unemployment down to 3.5%, that’s pre-pandemic level
-Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act likely going to pass now that Sinema is onboard
-Gas prices are slowly, but steadily dropping for 7 weeks in a row
-Another terrorist leader taken out
-Britney Griner and Paul Whelan could be released and indicators point to them both not being in a coma and near death
All that from a geriatric with dementia

My dad went to Florida in June, all they say is "gas prices were cheaper under Trump."
Biden signs sweeping bill to tackle climate change, lower health-care costs
President Biden on Tuesday signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act, an ambitious measure that aims to tamp down on inflation, lower prescription drug prices, tackle climate change, reduce the deficit and impose a minimum tax on profits of the largest corporations.
At a bill signing ceremony in the State Dining Room of the White House, Biden praised the legislation as among the most significant measures in the history of the country. -snip

This fell along party lines with zero Republicans voting yes. To Rightist voters who will benefit from this, you're welcome 🙂 👆
This worries me:
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/19/us/politics/biden-covid-pandemic-over.html
WASHINGTON — With 400 to 500 Americans still dying every day of Covid-19, President Biden has declared that “the pandemic is over.”But don’t tell that to people like Debra McCoskey-Reisert, whose mother died in early August. Or Ben HsuBorger, who has chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition often brought on by viruses, including the coronavirus. Or Peter W. Goodman, whose wife died on Aug. 17.
“It’s not over for me,” said a tearful Mr. Goodman, 76, who is retired after working as a journalism professor at Hofstra University on Long Island. Both he and his wife, Debbie, 70, became sick with Covid-19 last month. He recovered. She did not.
The president made the remarks while speaking in an interview that aired on CBS’s “60 Minutes” on Sunday night. By Monday morning, the backlash was in full swing — as patients said the president was being insensitive at best, and some public health experts said his words were at odds with the science.
Love him or hate him, Joe Biden is still the president of the United States. So it worries me that the NYT and other media openly challenges him on domestic policy.
Is Joe Biden in charge or isn't he? Does the NYT think they create domestic policy now, and the president is merely a figurehead?
Even if Joe Biden is 100% wrong, the US media shows tremendous disrespect for his office like this.
And maybe he is 100% wrong. He said what he said, and the NYT is being condescending to in their response.

The point of a free press IS to keep the power of politicians in check. Not sure what the criticism of the press being the press is? Did you have a problem with them fact checking trump?
The press isn't fact checking him, as there is nothing to fact check.
A "pandemic" is political. It's decided by people in office, not by scientists. The US director of Health and Human Services answers to the Executive branch of the US, e.g. Joe Biden.
If Joe Biden says the pandemic ends, then it ends.

A u.s reaction to a pandemic might end, but a pandemic is a widespread disease prevalent over a whole country or the world. It might be biden's opinion that the pandemic is over, and that's fine- but anyone can disagree.
