@GottaLaff it might be time to point out that during the two world wars we had a president incapacitated by a stroke and one polio survivor in a wheelchair running the country and doing it better than TFG ran any business.
@Loucovey Lawrence and Rachel pointed that out last night
@GottaLaff I’m not a fan of cable news so I missed it. In fact I had to partake of recreational drugs to stay calm during the incredible journalistic malpractice of Tapper and Bash
@Loucovey For good reason
@GottaLaff @Loucovey
It does look like everyone is working to have Democrats lose this election, including Democrats.

@locksmithprime
I've blocked a lot of people today.

I'm sick of the doom. Sick to death of it.

@Loucovey

@GottaLaff @Loucovey
Do not block me! I need your voice!
@locksmithprime You've done nothing block worthy. @Loucovey
@Loucovey @GottaLaff
Don't forget their favorite Reagan had Alzheimer's and they denied and covered it up. We need some better rules about this because health can be impacted at any age
@Scotter @Loucovey @GottaLaff I mean, the principle rule we need is "no fascism" but that seems like it's somehow not popular enough to make it a law.
@gooba42 @Loucovey @GottaLaff
I agree. If you want to be a dictator on day one, that should be disqualifying in America. If you didn't believe you lost, that should be disqualifying to run again. He should take his ball and go home.

The black jobs tho!?!

@Loucovey @GottaLaff in the case of FDR the media actively helped him hide the full extent of his physical ailments (I’m not an expert - did major in history but it was medieval/early modern) but from what I’ve read the media largely agreed not to show him in wheelchairs and most people at the time did not know how disabled he was. According to the national park service out of hundreds of thousands of photos of him only 4 are known that show him in a wheelchair

@Rycaut @GottaLaff still, he did the job
@Loucovey @GottaLaff oh absolutely. My point was he was exceptional at the job and of course helped by the lack of every person having a camera in their hands at all times as we have today. But also that the media (albeit with some pressure by him) helped him cover it up. And I would say somewhat rightfully so - as his physical ailments clearly didn’t disqualify him from the job in the least (though perhaps arguably since he did die in office might have been a factor in his last term)
@Loucovey @GottaLaff and to use a modern example someone like Senator Tammy Duckworth is an exceptional public servant and I hope continues to serve the country for years.
