Of course he has. In the retirement home for the greedy and mentally unstable geriatrics, this is common place. Looking for his glasses instead doing something worthwhile or meaningful for the citizens he represents.
Kenny must have dimwitted elders aroind him to account for this virulent hate of aged older than ... what age exactly? At what age does Kenny think humans become a waste of air and just need to step aside for the next bigballz?
Quintessence of "Talking Heads" you're saying nothing except that you're geriatric which a doctor could point out from being 84 years old.
We aren't marble statues we have expiration dates and the fact that we all cope with our mortality should never preclude our leaders from doing so
But we all don’t age at the same rate. I’d still take Biden with dementia or whatever over Trump. Trump is a sociopath who surrounds himself with ethically challenged people, or unqualified or inexperienced. Biden surrounded himself with intelligent experienced people who had a higher level of ethic
Also the person I was calling out was the 84 year old senator saying he has brain farts all the time. Not Joe Biden. Notice we're always talking about how old Joe is but in the United States Senate he doesn't really look that old....
I don't see how it's making a big point to say we'd take Biden over Trump. We deserve so much better than either and that kept people home from the polls. Obviously that isn't the whole story but it's part of it
Yes, but look at what staying at home led too. In almost 50 yrs of voting I’ve only been really enthusiastic about a presidential candidate twice, and neither one was perfect but they shared a similar ideology that I had
Yes look what staying home led to exactly. I agree the candidates who can move the biggest groups have that basic moral appeal too... DNC candidates didn't exactly have that this last cycle
Agree somewhat and sometimes it comes down to the lesser of two evils. I don’t think a Harris presidency would have been near as bad as this, or maybe inconsequential under a Republican majority in both houses
Biden's tragic diagnosis again highlights that the Democratic Party must move on from the ALL the neoliberals and their death grip on donors and the power and control that comes with it.
I’m very disappointed in him. One thing that Lawrence O’Donnell made a very important point about, governing isn’t televised. We don’t see where governing occurs and important decisions are made between a president, cabinet members and advisors. We only see public glimpses of our leaders
Only old and senile people forget momentarily that they have their glasses, keys, wallet, etc. on their person. Never ever does this happen to youthful people in their prime.

Rather than downplaying anything, we should be asking why is this character assassination of Pres. Biden relevant at this time? Our democracy is in danger and supposedly serious journalists are puffing themselves up and pointing at shiny objects to distract us .
I was talking to a service rep and she said something about sending a code to my phone….I ran around the house looking for my phone. She heard it when I said, oh wait, I’m talking on my phone….
Anyone else looking for the keys while they're holding their keys?
Anyone else find themselves discombobulated thanks to the psychopath disrupting our lives, day in and day out.
The only people advocating defunding law enforcement are the MAGA Republicans who want to defund the FBI for the transgression of investigating Trump's crime spree.
Jim Clyburn is also like 15 years too old to be in office. The fact that he keeps running for reelection disqualifies him from giving input on whether or not another octogenarian should be in office.
BECAUSE he should be enjoying his time with his local family, friends and neighbors... ENJOYING RETIREMENT. That's why. If he can't find his glasses, what else does he struggle with?
There is a growing populist movement in the USA which wants to give people with the least experience and track records demonstrating that they are trustworthy power and it is scary to anyone who has paid attention to how The Apprentice has run the White House.
You bet it's simple but the people don't obviously do what they're supposed to do for their communities, districts and states. They keep letting them be reelected and that's for both political parties. If you don't see action and results, vote them out. Simple as that.
Not sure how you get “people” to “do what they’re supposed to do” (by whose standards?) to not “let them get re-elected.” It’s not a passive process. Whatever you think of Clyburn’s age, he has served his constituents well.
Yeah. Also, like it’s over. He’s gone from office…he’s old. We all knew he was old. Trump is old and WAY more dangerous, but here we are, STILL talking about Biden. I’m just so over it.
Eh. I’ve done this since I was in my 30s. Clyburn is old and obfuscating purposefully to defend Biden, but the glasses thing is very common and generally not age-related.
It might be why I was giving Biden a pass for much longer than most. I have ADHD and hate when people point to symptoms I experience all the time as evidence of dementia. If I take my Vyvanse I have no issues.
Since the Pandemic medication shortage then loss of insurance coverage, I've been unmedicated since about 2023. After being medicated for over 25 years before that. It screws with ya for sure.
My cousin in her forties was concerned about her memory and literally thought she had early onset dementia. She went for a full neuropsychological evaluation and was diagnosed with ADHD.... I've had problems my whole life and her story made me wonder. Testing scheduled in August.
I mean im 32 and I once was looking for my phone and almost texted my friend saying I can't find my phone.
The general consensus on old politicians remains tho.
Looked for cell phone while i was on a call, looked for keys while holding them, opened the fridge when the microwave ding went off, looked for glasses while i had them on and kiddo pointed it out, tried to put another pair of glasses on while i had a set on .... how much time do y'all have?
Those with integrity, not to mention friendship are not going to spill their guts and trash someone else. I hate hearing Republicans brush off 1/6 by saying we are moving forward and I hate it just as much hearing it from Democrats. You can handle the question without deflection
I don’t know what the larger topic is. Dementia? People saying Biden and trump are displaying dementia haven’t lived with someone with dementia. Tired of the nonsense around this.

Clyburn is not helping Democrats with his unconvincing defense of Biden who is a private citizen now. If he can’t talk about the present and future he should get off the air and let someone else speak.
I don't think I have ever met anyone who wears glasses that hasn't done that, regardless of age.
Oh, and slippers . Walk out of house with slippers on to go to work, unintentionally.
What's even funnier is that after I got LASIK and didn't wear glasses any more, random mornings I would wake up, sit up in bed, and reach for my glasses.
I really hate that our only consistent avenue towards change is to hope that Biden's cancer is heat seeking towards the rest of the gerontocracy. Every single one of these people could have made a dynasty of new blood, but they chose to larp as cursed mummies.
I think that's normal even at fifty or younger.

A stubborn preschooler who won't listen to anybody is a bad idea for a tree house club leader,let alone a government with nukes.
Have you noticed how ALL reporters have that exact same look on their faces now? It’s a somber, like I don’t have any emotion in my being anymore because my billionaire conservative boss told me to look like this. 😵💫🤷🏼♂️

I've done it since I first got glasses when I was in my pre-teens, though.
I don't think misplacing the glasses on you face, the pencil behind your ear or the hat on your head has anything to do with age.
I think it is caused by being a human of any age. 😂

It’s a non-issue that the right is screaming about for political purposes.
Just like they got mad about Hillary’s emails and Obama’s tan suit.
They aren’t mad. They’re just screaming about it because it helps them.

Both are squabbling centrist idiots.
Not even a healthy 21 yr old can keep up with speed freaks regardless of their age.
