Instead, at the debate, ask him first off if he has gained any weight lately. Bring a copy of his White House physical report that has his weight listed. Bring a simple bathroom scale. Challenge him to stand on it. Prove him a liar right off the bat. If he can lie about something as trivial as his weight…

So Biden just has to do one push-up?

It would be more amusing if Biden weren’t quite so serious. He’s got too much “old man fake testosterone” thing going on. His previous comments about “fist-fighting” aren’t aging well, and neither will he if he doesn’t adapt better.

Biden plays the man card. This should be decisive, right?

That’s right…selectively focus on silly nonsense banter to make it seem like all he’s saying.

It’s stupid to get in the mud with Trump. You can’t shame the shameless and you just end up looking fat-phobic and ableist. Rise above!

Seriously stupid comment and seriously stupid it has been “reported on”.
I bet Tulsi can do more pushups than the both of them.
Of course so can RBG.

Why has the tag on the front-page story been CHANGED to the Ageist pejorative: “Old Man Biden vows to challenge fellow Old Man Trump to push up contest”?
Are you going to change the stories about “The Squad” to “Ni(CLANG!)r Bitches fight with Trump”?
Are you going to start stories about “weight-challenged” people with Fat-Shaming?
Are you going to call Buttegieg a Fag in print?
If all you want to do is attract the 14-34 Gen-Z demographic by pushing Ageism, that’s not the way to do it.
And I expect much better from TPM.
