12. All these armchair doctors

Look, he's 80. There are multiple different meds for various medical issues that can cause a geezer to bruise. It in no way affects someone's ability to govern. I can tell you as an old lady on Eliquis that I try to cover bruises too. I'm not vain but we all want a little dignity. Not that HE deserves any.

Could be the dude bumped his hand and had a bruise. Could be he had bloodwork and they had to go for the hand and boom, bruise. Could be he saw Gavin Newsom's last post and the ketchup jar he threw bounced off the wall and he smacked it away before it beaned him.

Yeah, I get it, they raked Biden for old guy stuff and now all this. Tit for tat. There are so many reasons to put his ass out of office and in jail that have nothing to do with his medical profile.
