As to Joe's age (similar to my own), I consider his agenda. Should he be unable to serve his full term, with VP Harris as backup the agenda isn't apt to turn into a fascist disaster.
Likewise, should the GOP nominee win and be unable to finish a full term, the elected fascist agenda isn't likely to turn into a democracy supporting agenda.
See why Joe's age is of no consequence?
Sounds like their reasoning for women with uteruses not being able to vote on women’s health care issues.

If I steal a meme and post it, I don’t feel compelled to first copy down any text in it and then retype it into alt text. That may be selfish of me. I also don’t feel compelled to translate posts I boost in other languages into English.
I’ve noticed some of the same people who are vigilant about alt text having no problem posting LOTE boosts.

A second firm hired by Trump campaign found no evidence of election fraud
The founder of the company has been interviewed by federal prosecutors investigating the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 results
Ken Block, founder of the firm Simpatico Software Systems, studied more than a dozen voter fraud theories and allegations for Trump’s campaign in late 2020 and found they were “all false,” he said in an interview with The Washington Post.

E. Jean Carroll is undergoing what can be described as a "scorched earth" cross examination by Trump defense attorney Joe Tacopina in the rape and defamation trial she brought against Trump, but Carroll is not intimidated.
"You were supposedly raped?" Tacopina asked.
"Not 'supposedly,' I was raped." Carroll replied.
Tacopina: "That's your version."
Carroll: "Those are the facts."
Rape victims asked to recount their trauma are ultimately victimized upon every retelling of what occurred, and the reliving of the incident is compounded by people disbelieving their account.
One in six women are raped, but only 16-40% of rapes are reported to law enforcement.
Drop a 💙if you want to see E. Jean Carroll get justice in this trial.
Bill Gates Says AI Will Teach Reading Better Than Humans - If he is correct, it will break a 20 year streak of failed education initiatives he has touted.

Rep. Jamie Raskin announced that he has received a “preliminary diagnosis of being ‘in remission’ from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma” and has finished chemotherapy. Ringing that bell is no small moment. It is a BIG FUCKING DEAL. Reports are that he is in remission and the prognosis is no expected return. GOOD NEWS. #JanieRaskin #Ringthatbell
