Who is going to be considered more senile in the end, her or Joe Biden?

I was taught to say good things about people that have passed. So....
She's dead. Good.
She's dead. Good.

Follow-up: Many, many news sites are remembering her as a 'centrist Democrat'. The AWB was not even close to approaching a centrist position. Not by a country mile.

I did kind of like her going HAM on those school kids when they went to whine about the environment at her office. Dead senators, stopped watches, tomato, tomahto...

Yeah she called out the "youths are inherently smarter and more virtous than old folks" fallacy. Really put a smackdown on them.

I won't be able to attend the funeral, but I'll send a nice note approving of it.

An excellent question! She was certainly more senile when she passed, but Biden is still walking around and saying words.scipioafricanus wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 9:52 pm Who is going to be considered more senile in the end, her or Joe Biden?
Everybody in politics and every voter thinks he or she is centrist. If anyone had asked, I'm sure that Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Mao Tse Tung thought they were centrists.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .
