        He’s the oldest, but most mentally healthy by far. If his heart hangs in there he should be able to.

          It’s fucking wild to me that he’s still sharp as he is, especially when in juxtaposition to Biden and fuck face

            It’s far from inevitable that old people get brain-rot. The risk increases with age, but is never overwhelmingly high.

            My grandfather made it to 101, and he only slowed down a bit mentally in his final year, and even then, more because of his hearing getting much worse than due to any cognitive decline. I’m a strong chess player, and he could still hand me my ass when he was in his late 90s.

      Yeah, and I’m also OK with Biden checking out whenever it’s his time, as long as Trump goes before he does, and Trump’s demise is a morass of fear, untreatable pain and humiliating degeneration.
