Finally saw the DiFi "incident". It didn't look as bad as I thought

I'm not saying I'm not concerned about her issues that surround her age, but this was minor in comparison to what I thought I might see. Maybe I had a worse case scenario in my head, but this almost 62 year old could see himself confused like that at certain moments. And let me end this by stating I agree that she should not seek re-election, and we need to get younger folks in office. It's time to turn the page.

Oh, and to cover me from attacks from certain individuals here, I am 100 percent behind Biden and believe he's doing a wonderful job. I fully support his 2024 run, in spite of his age.

knew immediately what had happened. Now Mitch on the other hand did have a truly concerning moment. I also agree that at 90 years it might be time to let go. Enjoy your life Senator. It has been a great one and we are grateful for all you have done.

It wasn't a big deal, she just began explaining her vote rather than immediately revealing what is was.

they had to find a Dem that they could put up on their reporting to take the heat off of Mitch & the Repugs.

clued that it was time to vote instead understood, smiled and stated her vote -- competently.

People checking the video are likely to be pleased or disappointed at her functioning depending on their own disposition.
