    As governor, vice president, president,
    whatever capacity the American people want.

    Noteworthy is, that after eight years as VP and then eight years as POTUS, Tim Walz will still be younger than the Orange Weirdo is today.

    To paraphrase former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura:

    I'm 76 years old now, so the window is closing. I want to be alive to see the first woman President of the United States of America.

    What good does it do to measure such statistics?

    If a man wins the presidential election, are women supposed to feel disrespected because of it?

    What statistics?

    Holy Moley! Is that what you read out of it? No wonder you so often end up with the wrong conclusion.

    Being the 1st of a demographic to do something - it's a statistic.

    So, that's a statistic to you? Now I better understand why you always trust hearsay over statistics.

    Jesse Ventura is a propagandist.

    Is that worse than being a twice impeached, four times indicted, convicted felon? (Can he even vote or carry a gun now?)

    He made it sound like gender is an
    important quality for a president when it's not.

    So, is it not important that 52% of the population finally has a representative after two and a half centuries?

    Would you rather have one that shows him sinking into a total mental meltdown in front of the entire World day after day?

    I'm not blaming you for it. It's just these damn celebrities who trigger me all the time.

    It would be less of a waste of energy if, e.g. social injustice or wealth inequality triggered you.

    You have got to be kidding me. If not, you most certainly
    have lost your marbles. All of them. And I mean it.

    Running for president, at age 94, will be an amazing sight.

    Of course, that will not happen.

    We all know where the Orange Weirdo will be long before then.

    For Life,
    Lee

    You lost me or your calculator needs new batteries. Who will be running for precident at age 94?

    Tim Walz: 60 + 8 + 8 = 76
    The Don: 78 (today)
    76 < 78

    Capisce?

    Depends on who you listen to. I'd say no.

    Hello Bj”rn,

    Tim Walz will still be younger than the Orange Weirdo is today.

    The Don: 78 (today) + 8 yrs as nobody + 8 yrs as nobody = 94

    What part of the "than the Orange Weirdo is today" did you not understand?

    Let me see if I can do a recount. In English rather than in Cajun -

    Tim Walz 60 + 8 (Veep) + 8 (Prez) = 74
    Orange Weirdo 78 (discovers fountain of youth) = 78

    There.
    Correction made.
    Feel better?

    For Life,
    Lee
