Is Our President Too Old as Some Suggest?

By Judith Trustone

Although I try my best, I’m still capable of reacting to the right-wing press having the audacity of inferring our president is in cognitive decline. How many of them can deliver a thoughtful speech and then spend almost two hours answering questions from the at-times hostile press? How dare they. These unscrupulous, spineless, sycophants who offer no policies that would benefit Americans.
 
All they seem to want is to make sure they’re able to steal elections when the other party wins. Nothing else. They’re standing together as if they’ve lost their minds and they want us to ignore reality while our poverty and pollution keep rising—putting the entire planet at risk.
 
What happened to manners, to restraining our darker impulses, and to understanding that we are all one? We all live downwind and will all go down together.
 
We must do all we can to help democracy survive these vicious, racist assaults. Though not perfect, President Biden is an elder deserving of respect. Let the sadistic, selfish Republicans be voted out of office so we can maintain our freedoms. Fascism is no fun!
