Polls don't mean jack shit. They're basically the "mood ring" of the political world.

And yet she still has to state the obvious for the oblivious

That's such a great feeling. I did the same with our cat when we got her as a kitten. She doesn't climb on my shoulders anymore, but she prefers my lap over the others in the house.

They were just keeping with the strong tradition established by the Greeks and Romans of gods that rape everyone and everything.

That's an intriguing story. I don't think that makes him a gangster. More like something a common thief would do. That sounds like right out of a playbook of common street urchins in Paris or eastern Asia.

Glad the state department told Kraft to shove it. Could you imagine an international standoff over a fucking billionaire's ring.

Thanks for sharing that, I hadn't heard this story before. I wonder if there are other examples of people putting pony boy in his place.

They can be involved. No one is taking their rights to vote away. You can't run for president until 35. You can't be a congressman until 25. No one says it denies younger folks their representation. Let older folks vote for who best represents their ideology and values, but it's time for upper limits for very obvious reasons.

It's not ageism to say that young people need their fair representation in politics. The median age of America is about 40. The median age of Congress is about 60. There is a very real concern that our leaders may not truly grasp or fully understand the issues of the younger generation.

Not to mention the risk of death and health related issues is convergent with age. It can't be avoided, no matter how much people want to pretend it shouldn't be considered. 70+ is pushing it, 80+ is well beyond average male life expectancy. To hide behind "that's ageism" when anyone brings it up as valid concerns is to ignore the facts.

They're both too old. I understand why Biden is running, DNC shit the bed and didn't offer any viable alternatives. I wish we would see a shift across the entire political spectrum to younger representatives.

Under his eye

Yup

It helps with the pacing when they're separated. When it's all in the title, it reads like a 5 year old telling a joke and not realizing there needs to be some natural pauses in the telling. Putting the punchline in the body ensures the reader puts the pause in the correct spot.
