American Journalists are of lower quality that their British counterparts. This is quite an achievement

I know you are disappointed when it does not fit the narrative you want it to. That is a your problem and for you to deal with.Pross said:

You just prove that you don't play golf. I have seen many people like your mother play golf many days a week. She'll probably walk at least 5 miles per full round. Good on all who do it.Dorset_Boy said:
Trump drives around the golf course in a buggy. He probably walks 200 metres in a round.coopster_the_1st said:

Trump is only a few years younger though and Biden looks significantly fitter. But it is an issue when the choices for the job come down to two white, seventy something males.Stevo_666 said:
Physically it's going to be tough at that age even if he is relatively fit and healthy for his age, as he appears to be. If I am still doing any form of work when I'm his age it'll be part time at best to get a bit of variety etc.nickice said:
Well this is the thing. My dad is four years younger than him, in exceptionally good health and, when he was working, put in very long days.

I think most people are just glad its not going to be Trump in the White House (soon anyway).
Ronald Reagan was seen as an elderly president but when he left office was actually slightly younger than Biden is now at the start of his time in office.
Does anyone know what sport(s) Biden still participates in?
At his age my mother was playing 5 rounds a week, but she walked the whole way around, never using a buggy, though she did have a motorised trolly.
Suggesting Trump is fit because he walks 400 metres in 2 days and swings a club 250 times is laughable.
However on Trump, he'll walk a mile at a minimum on the golf course alone, even with a buggy. From viewing his golf swing I have not seen many 70+ year olds swing it as physically well as he does and he is not holding back. Your mother will not have been swinging a golf club as well as Trump does. When you know what you are talking about, you can also see from his swing that he is a good golfer. There is video on the BBC from his golf yesterday and that is not a man struggling to walk or in bad physical health.0 -
It's not factually incorrect is it? It doesn't say the fireworks were for Biden. The Trump supporting media have done cr@p like that for the last 4 plus yearscoopster_the_1st said:American Journalists are of lower quality that their British counterparts. This is quite an achievement

I assume you consider VP Harris to have better qualities than Biden. What are they?pblakeney said:
Excellent! The VP takes over quicker than planned.swjohnsey said:Biden is in great shape. He has A-fib and takes two prescription medications, has reflux, high cholesterol, seasonal allergies, and has various sports medicine and orthopedic injuries. He has a history of brain aneurysms with two in 1988, one which almost killed him. He also had prostate surgery and a gall bladder removed.
With any luck he might make the inauguration.3 -

Interesting background article.
I just don’t see the public school boy bluster of Johnson cutting through to Biden’s administration. Even less so given Johnson’s gaffes to date with some of the more influential individuals of the new administration.
You have to ask if they will even take him seriously. Which isn’t a great starting point.

If you’re trying to make a “overly compensating woke” argument you’d have to explain the success in places that are very much not that
90something % of black wonen voted Biden too.
I’d suggest thr more likely scenario is it gets the black vote out.
Or it’s just Obama got their vote out and so did Trump. It’s a small sample size0 -
