Indeed, where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness? A wild guess: it may have something to do with #fossil and other #vestedinterests eu.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
A 78-year-old Trump rants nonsensically, demonstrating an inability to hold a thought, and it's deemed 'a jumbled answer'? C'mon. The man is unfit.

Being able to identify hoaxes, avoid scams & debunk propaganda is a civic skill required in today's information society. That's why curriculum for students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: the truth. youtu.be/UZV9uw4usEE?...
