Katie Britt is an example of the staying power of a big juicy lie. People will remember the horrible story she told and knowing it is a lie won’t matter. That’s how it works.
Like wise all the talk about how Biden has addressed the age question doesn’t take away the impact of talking about the age issue.
Give it a rest. So far Biden’s age has not been of any consequence in his actions. Zilch. It’s only lazy media that keeps coming back to it like it’s news. And guess what, the average person takes it from there. Most people hardly ever see Biden so they don’t have a first hand idea of how fast or slow he moves.
Anyway, what does how fast he moves have to do with governing.
Slipping on stairs while running on them is not an age thing. In school they have signs “no running on stairs”.
Meanwhile I’ll let 90 plus year old Warren Buffett handle my money and I have no clue how slow he walks and talks.
Biden must lean into the "I am old and experienced, my counterpart is old and deranged" narrative. To that point, there is ample evidence that Trump is a bad, unstable, and dangerous human being and another Trump presidency could be a threat to our Republic and the world.
Biden and the DNC must ensure that every American sees that evidence and becomes aware of the threat TFG poses.
Like the Dark Brandon tactic which somewhat silenced the Let’s Go Brandon bullshit, hit em over the head with the age issue until they SFU….touché big Joe
Media is repeating MAGA talking points about President Biden age. In 2020 polls they showed the same concern about age. They are the Media shiny objects to distract from the dictator to be and looking for rating.
They did the same when Indicted President Trump was giving millions for President Obama birth certificate and the media repeated the same racist trope.
Regarding Katie Britt story, it was an independent reporter who uncovered the lie because NYT, CNN and MSNBC reporters are just lazy to uncovered or just looking for news for rating.
Joe Biden has now mentioned it twice - once at the SOTU and in this ad Chris shared. He's 8 behind Chris, and will need to ratchet it up to close the gap! ;-)
Again another contradiction here about Biden's age. Chris you have been writing here that Biden should address the age thing instead of just saying 'watch me". Now he is addressing it squarely and demonstrating his ability and capacity to lead the country for five more years, you Chris is trying to sow doubts in the minds of people by being skeptical and negative about his addressing hos age. Well, the food thing is that his Doctor has determined that he is capable of leading this country for another five years. And if you don't believe his Doctor, at least believe your eyes and ears about how Biden performed last Thursday. I hope for goodNess sake , people will leave Biden's age alone. I however, don't expect the Cult members to back off,but the whole country including the NYT and Fox news outlets saw and mostly concluded that Biden has what it takes to be President for 5 more years.
I hope Trump will also have the courage to address his self inflicted short comings ( 91 criminal indictments)and his age etc etc.
Okay, help me out here. So President Biden is using his age to his advantage but former President Trump is only a few years younger than he is. Isn’t this kind of push at this point? It’s like two grossly obese people calling each other fat.
Chris I agree the Biden ad is a smart one.
And the punchline of the ad demonstrates he has a sense of humor about himself, something that Trump will never be accused of.
And you are correct about Yesterday.
Glad you guys like Paul McCartney. He was my first love, 🥰 and I’ll always be devoted to him!😍

I disagree with the “majority” on the last Covid vaccine. I got it and when Covid swept through my office last November and December, I didn’t get it.
Coincidence? Probably not, IMHO.
Re: Katie Britt
I found this attached piece very suggestive and frightening.

Talk about elitism!
Hey Chris - here is a chart that should make your one good chart section. Cumulative US Covid deaths by how counties voted in 2020 (red vs blue). It is in this great article in NY Times today (first chart shown): https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/11/briefing/covid-pandemic-anniversary.html

For a bit deeper, and fairly amusing, dive into the churn that was the Trump administration: https://whowhatwhy.org/elections/decision-2024-continuity-or-chaos-or-worse/.
Good stuff!

Chris Cilliza and Biden's age;
Since 2/25/2024, Chris has discussed Biden's age 10 times in this forum! FYI
Joe Biden has now mentioned it twice - once at the SOTU and in this ad Chris shared. He's 8 behind Chris, and will need to ratchet it up to close the gap! ;-)
Yesterday great, hey Jude better!
