Double Standard (again) for Democrats and Republicans

I'm reading more and more of accusations of Joe Biden being "too old" and theoretically have Alzheimer's. And I'm sick of it all.

Ronald Reagan had diagnosed Alzheimer's and we'll never know if it was present even in his first administration. But he governed and was re-elected and regaled, with Alzheimer's. And it was all right with Republicans. To this day, he is their god.

But let a Democrat be over 75 years of age, like Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, they're disabled and shouldn't be allowed to hold office. Even the TFG is about the same age as Joe Biden is credited with being mentally agile.

I've had it!

Dems have to be twice as good to be considered half as good....the bar for repukes is WAY LOWER than the bar for Democrats
