The Sick Joke thread?

Sadly it may be no joke.

Being married to a USA citizen I have obviously some interest in US politics beyond basic World Affairs, ( and hope Trump doesn't make it, but it is looking more and more a possibilty ) and whilst having no real objection to Biden, as an "older" person myself I can appreciate the problems people are wary of - I can't remember the name of someone I met this morning, for instance ! Can't the Democrats come up with someone younger who will appeal to the majority as a Trump basher ? One lives in hope but with less and less promise.

Bidens V.P. candidate, who will be only one heart beat from possibly becoming POTUS in the next five years, is an important consideration, too. (no comment ! and my thoughts here are not promulgated by sexism or racism, either. )

A shark could swim faster than me,
but I could probably run faster than a shark.
So in a triathlon, it would all come down to
who is the better cyclist.

Well, but think of the idiots who order something from somewhere, displayed on a superfit model, and then complain publicly as it doesn't fit them...
