Saw a great article by Noah Berlatsky (Aaron Ruper posted a free link to the article):

https://www.publicnotice.co/p/joe-biden-original-sin-tapper-thompson-trump

Here's an excerpt:

As you are probably aware, former president Joe Biden is old. If you were not aware of that fact, journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have written a new book about how Joe Biden — who dropped out of the presidential race because of concerns that he was old — was, in fact, old.

This breaking news has led to much handwringing and scolding at high profile news outlets. Joe Biden, they have concluded, is old. Is this a scandal that will be a major issue in the 2026 midterms, and maybe even in the 2028 elections? Should Democrats spend time and energy focusing on the fact that Joe Biden is old?

I think you’ll agree, after some serious thought, that the answer here is NO, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!
