You just listed the job requirements of the president and made concessions about why Biden shouldn’t have to meet those requirements?
No, the president doesn’t get to work from home. He needs to go home and stay there while someone else runs. The idea that he will somehow last another 5 years is lunacy. Democrats are out of their minds defending this elder abuse.

I've always said both Biden and Trump are too old for the job...that hasn't changed but Biden isn't a victim, he made a choice. I also said we need better options but I'll vote for the lesser of two evils everytime. A guy like Putin uses body doubles to travel for him ..Joe should do that as well...you don't have to travel as president..FDR was wheelchair bound..you can run the office from a cell phone and a laptop these days. You can send your vice president to global meetings. The main thing is that Joe replaced the talent pool in his cabinet while Trump just kept firing everybody and closing doors on foreign diplomacy and things like doctors without borders. These things are important to me, that we use our influence as a nation for the good of the planet and not for expanding our borders as Russia and China are trying to do. Lunacy is a president that is a compulsive liar that will kowtow to dictators that hate America. Choices

LOL. Do you think it doesn't make a difference?

It's unclear how much of a difference it makes. Thanks to relativity, when you're flying in a plane you are experiencing the passage of time at a different rate than you typically do. It's not much, but it's an interesting question. How much of part of the equation is it?


Einstein was right. Flying clocks around the world in opposite directions proved it.
Time isn't the same for everyone, even on Earth. Flying around the world gave Einstein the ultimate test. No one is immune from relativity.

Evidently not nearly as much as you. You've evidently not done a lot of flying for long distances. If someone is fatigued from flying so much they will likely tell you that it won't matter much whether you're sleeping on Air Force One or a Holiday Inn Express. Flying as much as Biden has done this past week can be rough on anyone, regardless of age.

Pretty sure the contribution of relativity to jet lag is very very very very close to zero. Unless Air Force 1 travels at near the speed of light.

Kevin McCarthy is a scumbag for instituting impeachment upon Joe Biden.

Risk factors
Factors that increase the likelihood you'll experience jet lag include:

  • Number of time zones crossed. The more time zones you cross, the more likely you are to feel jet lag.
  • Flying east. You may find it harder to fly east, when you "lose" time, than to fly west, when you "gain" time.
  • Being a frequent flyer. Pilots, flight attendants and business travelers are most likely to experience jet lag.
  • Being an older adult. Older adults may need more time to recover from jet lag.

One thing that is obviously missing from the list is the only one that would support your prior claim:
  • Flying commercial. If you are a mere commoner, you may even have to sit in coach. This increases your jet lag.

Does flying multiple times to China, Japan, Sweden, Australia, and even Tahiti count? Of course most of my long-distance flying was when I was in my 30's/40's/50's which is kind of the point. Joe is OLD! Too old to be POTUS. I guarantee that having a nice set-up to fly in makes a difference. Business class is not nearly as hard on you as coach.

Yeah, mostly joking. Though relativity comes into play at elevation as well... we have to calibrate our GPS satellites to account for it.

That said, 99% joking.

Joe Biden is the perfect age to be president if that's what it takes to keep Trump out of office.

Nothing else matters as much at this point in time.

And I don't like Biden.

That cannot be the answer. I refuse to accept it. There must be another way.

Well we don't know who the candidates are yet. I'm an independent so I don't get a vote in the primaries. I need to see who is in the general first.

I would like to think any Dem would beat Trump... But that's probably not true. And I can't think of one who'd be much better than Joe who is also much less ancient.

I've already said I'd rather Joe not run again and he wasn't my first choice in 2020 but I could not abide by Trump...and if it comes down to Biden and Trump again next year I'll vote for Biden again.

...I also have not said anything that was mean spirited and flat out hateful...that was you and it was a pretty shitty thing to say.
 
My opinion will probably change but at this point, I'm leaning towards the only candidate who has not only been the first to mention "term limits" but is also very much in favor for them.

First question: who is that?

Second question: why would that matter? President has zero ability to create term limits.

It's like saying you'll vote for the first guy who says every man should get another inch added to their penis.

That's who I'm voting for. I gained a solid 1.3" after getting the first COVID vaccine and filled out a bit more with each of the boosters.

Another inch and I'll be able to retire and do porn videos like Ron Jeremy...

Actually the polls I've seen, I don't want Biden running again (but he will) because I'm not sure he can beat Trump. He's the second coming of Hillary Clinton. It's impossible to overstate how fucked up the world will be, let alone the country, if Trump gets four more years. The damage will be irreversible.

Man, I'm all for somebody else. Who is polling better vs Trump?

No idea, I just know there's a healthy slice of America that would love for there to be an option, any option, other than those two. But Trump has the Republican nomination locked up, I'm already calling it. So barring a health problem with either of them, or God-willing both, I think we're all in store for a repeat.

Yeah, would love to see somebody else legit. But no idea who it could be.
