Some right wing media make fun of Biden's age related quirks. I notice a large number of grey haired gentleman among the GOP members.

I notice a large number of grey haired gentleman among the GOP members.

I suspect they gave up their hair coloration after that incident with Rudy and the shoe polish.

If Biden dies does McCarthy become President?

Vice President Kamala Harris would become President. If the Vice President was unavailable, Republicans would hurry and elect Donald Trump as Speaker. If he moved on to the Presidency, the Resolute Desk could be moved to the Allenwood Federal Penitentiary.

If Biden dies does McCarthy become President?

No. The VP is first in the line of succession.

Kinda hard to forget that image.

And Rudy was making rude sounds. I remember my daughters laugh when they said "Oh I farted." Rudy at this stage is in real trouble losing his law license, owing money to one of his wives and backing the wrong horse. Remember what he said January 6.
