Why are you bothered as to why I post in blue? Are you going to introduce a rule that forbids it? To answer your petty question, I do it because it's distinctive. It doesn't seem to have bothered anybody.

On your last question, it was not a point relevant to the ability of a 70+ person to be intelligent or govern a country. And as I don't dodge answering questions: I've no problem with the 70s DDVLA rules because there are specific age-related eyesight related conditions that make it necessary to mitigate accident risk.

DVLA age restrictions is not just about eyesight issues.

Lastly. Lose the attitude. It was a simple question. It could begin to bother me, if you carry on posting in your obnoxious tone.

Biden's condition has been relatively hidden by everybody, including the media. If the media and people like comedians had been going on and on about it before the election, then who knows, the outcome might've been different.

The voters are presented with limited options that have been chosen by others. In the actual Presidential election there was no alternate choice for a Democrat candidate. If you wanted to vote Democrat, you were left with no option other than Biden.

Not to mention, voters get a chance to elect a new president every 4 years, there is another 3.5 years of Biden’s presidency. We cannot wait that long, given the crap hell hole happening in Afghanistan.

Unless you apologise to me by PM for your insults, please remove my membership of this forum. You are the obnoxious one who abuses the privilege of forum co-ownership.

The media have going on about Biden's speech/gaffe issues for years, it's no secret as many a YouTube video will testify to. Take this from CNN back in 2015, for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iSAh3haVtY

Calm down Chuck.

I Don’t do drama. There will be no apology, because there wasn’t any insults thrown about. I asked you a question which I can do at any time, you berated me with a rude response, you can expect me to bite back, regardless if I’m one of the site owners or not.

The leader of the free world needs to be sharp and focussed, when there is apparent cognitive impairment in older men, it’s not good needs for rest of the world, Joe Biden being the present example.

There is already enshrined in the Constitution that no one under the age of 35 can become President, then there needs to be an age restriction for latter years.

Good job we don't have that rule, Churchill wouldn't have got back in or seen out the war

So have the media gone on about it anywhere near the fanatical way they've gone on about Trump?

A majority of voters don’t think President Joe Biden is mentally and physically capable of doing his job, and suspect the White House is actually being run by others.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 39% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Biden is really doing the job of president – that’s down from 47% in March. A majority of voter (51%) now say others are making decisions for Biden behind the scenes.

I think anyone in their 70's shouldn't be considered for any post like that . . or a Judge, Mayor etc.
Sure they might be perfectly OK now, but 6 months down the line is another story.

On the other hand, making legislation (not just age related) that excludes certain people running for office - in any country - could lead to a drastic reduction in candidates

Even Democrats are now questioning his ability to be in charge. The plot all along was to use him to get the Democrats into power, then ease him out to be replaced by Harris, "a female of colour".

According to the redtops the car crash interview had the worst bits edited out.

So if someone isn’t fit to run a country at 60,70+ should the right to vote be removed for everyone over say 60?

Some made that argument prior to the EU and Scottish referendums on the basis that the elderly would not have to live with the consequences of their vote. It was nonsense then and it's nonsense now. If we're going to make any assumptions about older voters it should be that they have a lot more experience and a much longer-term perspective than hand-wringing millennials who always seem in such a hurry to reinvent the world in their image.
