I'd like him to tell my non-white wife that she is the minority sex servant I own.
I doubt it will get me laid more often, but you never know, perhaps he is more convincing in person.
That must be satire right (I'm not on Twitter and can't be arsed checking)?
Have been trying to figure that out, it doesn't appear to be a satire account, and he's now complaining about trolls. So at this stage he appears to be a blue check liberal with astonishingly low self awareness.

@no-quarter holy shit there are some hot takes in the responses lol. Wonder if any of that will shake his world view even a lil bit? probably not!

The irony is that for him to think that Burr's wife could only exist in that capacity as a sex slave, is fucken racist! 😆

@kiwiwomble It could just be to twit - which seems appropriate for that shit show.
I hope that that you didn't say "aaaamen sister" or "you go girl" in your twit, that could end badly.

next time let's have a President who is 60 or younger? How hard can that be?
Getting a bit limited - got to be minimum of 35 to be POTUS. Don't mind the older guys myself.
I know this is a stretch, but healthy and capable, both physically and mentally, would be a good start (regardless of age).

I don't know about people you know, but CF Sr is in his mid late 70s and I wouldn't trust him operating my TV let alone the most powerful country in the free world

Hmm, my Dad is 84 and in the last few years has installed solar panels to setup for his Audi eTron (high tech machine actually), which he has now had for a while. Worked out all of the usage, consumption, etc, etc himself. New computer, phone, iPad - he deals with it all (with a bit of help from me). Finances it all through his self managed investments. Walked the Routeburn a couple of years ago, admittedly he broke his ankle on day one, but he still did another three days on it, and finished. Operations, and a long time in a moon boot afterwards, but he has some guts and wisdom. Actually, continuing wasn't a great move but he did it.
Not sure that I would want him as POTUS, but he wouldn't be any worse than some of the recent ones, and actually neither would some of his mates of similar age.
So older blokes aren't the problem for me. Competent ones are.

Nothing like hearing about blokes twice my age who are 3x more competent. Great for the ego...😎

@snowy I wouldn't put my dad quite in the above category but at 73 he more than capable of dealing with life issues, home maintenance and technology.
What he's completely incapable of though (especially with his mates) is picking up any iota of young / woke vote. According this lot, everything he says is probably racist, sexist or bigoted & his tolerance for bullshit is absolutely zero. I've never had a conversation with him on the trans debate, but I expect it would be hilarious.
Some might say I'm a chip off the old block.
