FBI raid Mar-A-Lago

[Servus]

Yeah, I fell once about a year ago. Happens sometimes. Used to fall a lot when I was a kid because I was kind of reckless. As the video showed, Biden fell after he stopped and got his foot against a pedal. I've seen that happen to other bikers, too.

We can be sure that won't ever happen to Trump, because he lacks the cognitive and motor skills to ride a bicycle. It's not remarkable that Biden can ride into his 70s; I do, and I know others who do, too. But all of them are in pretty good physical and mental condition. They don't ride bikes because they are in good shape; they are in good shape because they ride bikes.

I'm pretty convinced genetics plays a big part in such things. Warren Buffett is 91 year old junk food eating mental powerhouse.

Perhaps he should consider training wheels.

Then Trump could do it. But he'd still have to actually exert some physical effort, which by all most accounts, would be too stressful.

I'm pretty convinced genetics plays a big part in such things.

It helps. But if you think the difference between Biden and Trump is just Biden having great genes, you're wrong. It's also lifestyle. If Trump had taken care of himself, exercised, read and kept his mind challenged, he'd be much better than he is.

Towards ageing well: Use it or lose it: Exercise, epigenetics and cognition
While inherited genes have an undoubted role to play in the chance of maintaining good health or conversely a predilection to developing disease and chronic ill health, there is increasing evidence that behavioural and environmental life-style choices may contribute up to 50% of the variability of human lifespan. Physical exercise is readily available to everyone, and is a simple cheap and effective form of life-style intervention. Exercise appears to help maintain good health and to reduce the risk of developing chronic disease and ill health. Evidence suggests that physical activity improves well-being across many health domains through out life, continues to offer important health benefits in older age groups and tracks with a ‘healthy ageing’ profile. Although many of the molecular pathways remain to be fully identified, here we discuss how physical activity and exercise is understood to produce changes in the human epigenome, which have the potential to enhance cognitive and psychological health, improve muscular fitness, and lead to better ageing with improved quality of life in older age.

Whatever time I have left, I plan to enjoy it as much as I can. And Biden is clearly a better model for keeping mind and body in good shape.

It's not, really. A person of at least normal cognitive and physical condition can do it. The point is, Trump can't. And Biden does.

I would bet on Trump in a golf match up against Biden. I'm not sure why you think he can't ride a bicycle.

How do you know Trump can't? By the way I have a developmental coordination disorder and I can ride a bicycle and a motorcycle. Just don't ask me to play basketball or foosball.

I doubt I would be much good at golfing either.

I never cared for it.

It's got to be tiring, riding that cart for 18 holes... You might as well argue that Trump is better at knitting than Biden is.

I'm not sure why you think he can't ride a bicycle.

He can't even get an umbrella in a door. How do you expect him to ride a bicycle?

Played once. It was a nice walk (we didn't use carts) but it was kinda boring. Bowling is more physically demanding. And more interesting.

I think like Warren Buffett, Trump has good genes. His father lived to be 93. I don't exercise much but my cardiovascular system is in excellent condition because of genetics.

Bowling is another thing I don't have the coordination to do well. But I can ride a bike. Even without holding onto the handlebars. I hit a pothole riding like that once - ouch.

Having trouble pronouncing words like "yesterday", being unable to close an umbrella, and forgetting what his limo looks like is not a great condition for someone in his 70s. And of course, his difficulties in drinking from a cup, and difficulties walking down a ramp are not consistent with good shape.

His father lived to be 93.

Fred Trump began to show signs of dementia in his late 70s, also. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. There is a hereditary component to such dementia, and over the last decade, Trump has shown more and more symptoms.

Then he has to be found innocent by mental defect on all charges. They can call you as a witness.

There are rules about how much impairment is a defense against crimes like these. It might indeed protect him, depending on how bad it was when he left office and later, when it comes to an obstruction charge.

Some concern about the raid provoking another outbreak of political violence by Trump supporters, aimed at law enforcement...

Unfortunately there are extremists who could resort to violence. This is true.

Personal opinion: Biden does not golf most likely because it would be too easy for him to get lost.

So far, Biden has always been able to find his limo on the Tarmac. So smarter than Trump on orienteering, too.

It is possible Joe has learned orienteering from the Easter Bunny. Or so it seems. That who helped him at the Whitehouse.

Just better than Trump, who has gotten lost between his airplane and limo. Low bar, yes, but since Trump rarely if ever needs help finding his way off a golf course, it seems Biden would surely do better than that.
