MSNBC host Rachel Maddow attempted to counter claims President Biden is too old to lead the White House by bringing up that he has the ability to ride a bike - despite the embarrassing stumble he suffered in June 2022.
The issue of Biden's age shot back into focus this week following a damning special prosecutor conclusion that he mishandled classified materials, but was perceived as too old for a jury to convict.
It said that a jury would probably conclude that he had 'diminished faculties' and was a 'well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.'
In a discussion on Maddow's evening show about the case, commentator Chris Hayes made the point that Biden's age is a politically sticky subject as he can't rebut the fact that he is 81-years-old.
'He rides a bike!' Maddow interjected, a remark that was quickly mocked online.
**SNIP**
Maddow's remark drew sarcastic responses online, with some feeling she was trivializing the important issue of Biden's perceived competency.
'So riding a bike is the only prerequisite to being president of the United States!' said conservative commentator Kathleen Winchell.
Another said: 'My three-year-old rode a bike too.'
'The standards for the Presidency sure have cratered,' added another. 'He can ride a bike is now a qualifier.'

He was hyper focused on a little girl standing in the crowd.
Totally lost himself in the urge to sniff.
The stories surrounding Biden’s decline read like the Babylon Bee.
I do love me some bombshell reports
Are all elderly now free of prosecution.
We can’t solve any problems in ANY way until we toss that “demented pervert” into the trash bin.
That has to be done in any way possible, including extreme cruelty towards his lack of cognitive ability or his ability to hold his bowels or bladder.
Getting him out of office won’t SOLVE the problems, but it will open the door to possibly solving them.
“”despite the embarrassing stumble he suffered in June 2022.”
I can’t remember if he’s been shown riding a bike since then, has he?
Can Maddow ride a bike?
Remember when the democrats were screaming about Reagan’s age at 70 claiming he was too old to be President and would probably die in his first term? One magazine even had an illustration of a dead Reagan on a hospital gurney.
Now they are again claiming an 81 year old man we knew was “losing it” back in the Obama days is still “The Best Man for the Job!”
“”Joe was corrupt well before he became demented.””
Agree!
I am sick and tired of this age crap. My parents are 86 and 90 and could run rings around this decrepit bag of oatmeal.
My mother is still the secretary for a large symphony orchestra and my father still does the books for a fire company, church and town sewer authority. Heck, ten years ago they were leading two week hiking tours through the ALPS.
My grandmother had dementia and Joe is performing up to her standards when she was 81.

“”COG will waltz in,””
I’ll bite since no one else has - what or who is COG?
Rachel, Joe falls OFF his bike.
I think we all understand this perfectly. Biden is too old, feeble minded, mentally incapacitated, and retarded to be prosecuted for past espionage crimes, but he meant well. And honestly, he would apologize if he understood the nature of the charges. It’s all good though, because since he’s a Democrat, he’s still hugely qualified to be President.
Maybe the Feds have gifted us elderly with hope. We can break the law, but they won't prosecute because we meant well.
COG - Council of Governments maybe?
A bit O/T, but Rachel and I attended the same HS, Castro Valley HS, about 15 miles south of Berkeley. I graduated in 1972, and it was woke before woke was even thought of. I will say I received a decent education, but it wasn't rigorous in the slightest.
My senior classwork consisted of physics, calculus, and civics. I received extra credit in civics for bringing the teacher the most recent edition of Black Panther news. It ws made available to me by street vendors while taking the bus home from work.
The same teacher was the local chair of the George McGovern campaign.
I was ostracized on campus my last two months, for accepting a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship. Teachers expressed their "disappointment" with my decision. The only teacher who publicly supported me was my calculus teacher, a former Jesuit priest who taught at Marquette. He was thrilled when I chose to matriculate at Gonzaga.
Rachel Maddow exemplifies the average student at Castro Valley HS: always undeterred by the facts, they live in their own little bubbles.
I've never attended a reunion, just didn't see the value in traveling 1500 miles for a 4 hour event. OTOH, I've been to several college reunions, still stay in touch with a dozen or so alumni.
Continuity of Government
Its a committee of people chosen
to run the country if theres viable
prez or vp.
Nancy Pelosi talks about it the
meetings they have, in fact, its a
bragging point with her because
she is on it! Nanny has
never retired. These ‘ Rats could
come up with a screwball, crackpot
illegal scheme to implement it.
If biden is out- Kamala cant step up
by virture of het birth, etc.
AFter Kamala would come Mike Johnson,
SOTH.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for that.
NO WOMEN PLEASE!!! And that comes from a woman....
I support your comment👍💯
but IF she were to be elected its my opinion she would tun it into the ground just out of spite...
but the Peter Principle would be at work here though if her “ladyship”were the DEI
hire.I say hire beecause if this happens it means voting is useless anymore
