Re: US President Joe Biden
From the above posts, it looks like Biden's 41% popularity rating is something that Trump could only dream of.
I guess enough of the US electorate are getting behind a President that despite his age, stands up to Russia and is not afraid to ask for gun control. |

He can only do so much with a 50 50 split of the Senate. Come mid terms, Democrats are in serious trouble. But they are crap at governing, either way.

Nothing will happen. NRA is too powerful and the country has already decided this is the price they are willing to pay not to have to do anything about it.

It is clear that gun laws in the U.S. will never change. There are too many people in power that will make sure nothing ever gets done.
If I was a parent in the U.S. this would give me the number one reason to emigrate and leave. Schools should be a safe place for children yet nothing is being done to make them any safer. |

Guns could never be banned, there just has to be tougher restrictions. But sadly, nothing will change and there will be more bloodshed in American schools. |

Based on this context, you can see why a POTUS from any party might take a hostile tone to the UK. And, that's before we've even considered the impact of Irish American votes and the Democrats' bond to the Good Friday Agreement which it views as one of its great foreign policy successes. |

When Biden was President Elect, he was approached by the BBC and he said "BBC? I'm Irish" and walked on. https://www.thenational.scot/news/18...heeky-dig-bbc/ You're also ignoring Irish government perfidy whose attitude dishonestly rides on the Good Friday Agreement when the row with EU is about UK sovereignty and the customs difficulties of trade between GB and NI. Yes, as far as I and many are concerned, Biden (and Pelosi) could usefully stop breathing, and Varadkar too - the Irish Tanasty. |

But then there's the President who can't string a sentence together and clearly not all there should definitely not be in that position and no one can really argue with that. Then there's there's those are just too grumpy, moany and complains about everything like Victor Meldrew. Not good for any situation, and best avoided. |
Re: US President Joe Biden
Oh well perhaps we should start deciding who is too young to be making decisions like that about others?

Re: US President Joe Biden
The US Presidency already has a minimum age requirement.
I think the electorate can ultimately decide but it does seem you would want an upper age limit of around 70? It's not just mental acuity but also physical fitness. Being President is a demanding job in terms of concentration, energy levels, sleep schedules and stress. |

Wisdom comes with age but there are exceptions. In Biden's case, the US people have elected the president they deserve or, more particularly, the party caucus system has delivered the candidate that it deserved. The above said, the US system is weird and thus generates weird or inappropriate politicians. |
Re: US President Joe Biden
Wisdom comes with age so does having outdated opinions and a diminishing understanding of the modern world.
I suspect the Biden blind spot is because he defeated Trump. The where do we draw the line argument is a red herring - all around the world countries enable laws drawing an arbitrary line at the “young” side without massive contention. Marriage, smoking, alcohol, sex, serving in the armed forces, standing for election. |

Wisdom comes with age maybe but it is a double-edged sword as change and new ideas can come with youth but this isn't relevant when it comes to debating if they should have an age limit. It's only for health reasons we would have it. Biden is almost 80 for example. |

It’s a good job Russia sees his fragile mind, twice now, we could have been led in to a nuclear conflict with Biden’s words, first when he suggested America would drop chemical weapons on Russia, if they dropped any on Ukraine, then later also suggesting American armed forces would be soon joining fight in Ukraine. :erm: Jfman makes valid point above, we have prohibitions for people under a certain age, why should there not be the same for people above a certain age? |

Re: US President Joe Biden
The economy in the US seems to be performing far better than expected. It added 315,000 new jobs in August on top of the unexpected 528,000 new jobs in July. It's now where it was before the pandemic and unemployment remains close to a 50-year low.
With energy prices rising globally, I can't see this success continuing though. https://www.theguardian.com/business...ds-jobs-august |
