During the last presidency, CNN hosts like Don Lemon routinely insisted Donald Trump was mentally unfit for office, and then would compare him to a six-year-old. On Monday's CNN This Morning, Lemon greeted Joe Biden's 80th birthday by lamenting anyone who would question President Biden's mental fitness as he turned 80 on Saturday.
Lemon kvetched:
"What about the respect for elders thing that we talk about? Because we treat, I think, our elderly people not -- we don't support them and honor them as much as other countries."

Oh I honor my elders, but I don’t sit back and let ones with dementia make decisions about my life.
We can honor elders. On the other hand, how much honor did Don show to Trump. The level of honor is not commensurate with the level of dementia. Rather, it is commensurate with the level of accomplishment.
You may show more compassion for one who has lost the function of their mind, though. This is why I don’t hold animosity toward Biden, but rather, his handlers. I do consider him to be a senator with a very poor track record, though, before he was cheated into office.
/eyeroll.
How long must we suffer this affliction?
He’s right. The DemocRATS usually just send some of their Aunt Teefah fascists out to beat up the elderly instead.
This is also a belief of many liberals….DR. Ezekiel Emmanuel: “Seventy Five. That’s how long I want to live: 75 years, “I will have lived a complete life.” Though he admits that death is a loss, he says, “living too long is also a loss. It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived.”
Biden is America’s Chernenko
Total fools like Lemon don’t have any knowledge of history or of much else.
They childlishly believe myths of the Chinese and the “Native Americans” honoring the elders.
Actually the Communist Chinese are vicious criminals who abduct,torture and murder anyone who disagrees with the elite leaders. Mao killed at least “38,702,000 by the Chinese communists, 10,214,000 by the Chinese Nationalists” including deliberate preventable starvation.
“Natives” in North America were experts at slow torture and slaughter of people who just wanted a chance to be pioneers in a new land (which was mostly empty land).
Lemon’s ancestors kidnapped and sold people to Arabs, British and other slave traders. Old people not able to do slave labor were of no monetary value. Also, rival tribes were sold as spiteful revenge for being alive.
Today in Africa, here is one example from helpage.org ——
“Older people in Zimbabwe, estimated to be 760,000 or 5.8% of the population, face serious challenges including fragile livelihoods, weak social security support, poor access to health and care services and violence and abuse (particularly regarding older women’s right to inheritance).” Oct 17, 2014
I find it mysterious why anyone would care what Don Lemon says or thinks, let alone post a thread about him on FR.
Native Americans had a “keep up or be left outside” rule.
Native Americans were not the wonderfully peaceful folks the left would have you believe. The Wamps of pilgrim days were happy to see the English because they needed help warring with their neighbors.
They were as bad as any other tribe of humans.
One of Biden’s mansions in photo....
Too small an image to show the sad truth that the Bidens display a long row of lost used hubcaps for sale and the pickup filled with junk they sell to make ends meet. Often people see them sitting on their porch on a ragged, threadbare old couch like college students.
We also do not “honor” Pedophiles, Thieves, Grifters, and Treasonous bastards, either. So what?
So what if the Bidens are slavers.
So what.
The Democrats need the money.
Anyone who doesn’t think that there is nothing the Democrats are not capable of doing and getting away with should question their judgment.
I believe the ancestors of African Slave Traders owe the United Stats and Britain reparations for ending the African and Arab slave trade that had gone on for centuries.
I believe the ancestors of African Slave Traders owe the United Stats and Britain reparations for ending the African and Arab slave trade that had gone on for centuries. They started the evil trade and we ended it.
Same with the damn cartels - trafficing in the most vulnerable of humans. Put cartels out of business just like we did with African slavers.
Had breakfast next to a very nice 90-year old this morning (and he didn't look a day over 70). And he was much more on the ball than Joe Biden!
The left is just trying to get out ahead of the critics even though they are helping make the case for Trump at the same time.
PS: Reagan’s age was made into an issue, especially after his re-election.
They do in Korea - when riding the subway in Seoul, the seats nearest the doors are reserved for the elderly.
Yep. You haven’t experienced the stink-eye until you’ve sat in one of those seats (mistakenly!) and EVERYONE in the car (who is now eye-level with you) gives you the stink-eye.
