Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Former leadership appointed a single guy to write this report with no real academic resources, so it really just reads as that guy's opinion.
I would buy that it's just an out of touch loser's opinion, but what kinda screws that up for me is that they didn't even discuss Biden's age or* cognitive issues being a significant factor. Anyone alive and* paying attention during the time, even someone who only watched morning Joe, would have mentioned that.
Edit: phone typos
It's not a fair argument because Trump is also old as fucking dinosaur shit and has even worse lifestyle and habits.
They're competing with the couch, not just Republicans. Couch sitters basically always have higher standards of Democrats than they do of Republicans. In fact, the entire electorate and media infrastructure have higher standards for Democrats. It's fine to disagree, but I feel like that's just being purposely obtuse for why it's not in the report. Ken Martin and Ken Martin's "friend" fucked this up royally and even liberals are pointing that out. Why the cope?
Also couldn't let this slip by either: Ken Martin commissioned the report, NOT his predecessors.
