ageism much? ZonkerHarris Aug 2023 #1
She used Biden falling down in her broadcast today. LiberalFighter Aug 2023 #3
So if somebody else does it it's okay to be ageist, racist, misogynist? No. It is not. ZonkerHarris Aug 2023 #10
In her case. Yes. Especially when she has been negative towards Democrats. LiberalFighter Aug 2023 #11
so GOP ageism against Biden is valid since he's negative towards Republicans. Thank you ZonkerHarris Aug 2023 #22

I always find it odd, the persistent resting assumption that everyone is also sitting around all day watching cable news.

And asked by another the ridiculous question if I had fallen in the last year (ridiculous, since I've fallen twice within the last two weeks - which he should know generally - if not specifically).

I guess the former is technically correct, although I am not at any significant risk for fall injuries. After a decade of vertigo, and it's aftermath, I fall regularly (as the second doctor knows) - and I know how to fall without doing serious injury to myself.

On the other hand, my 91 year old mother can't remember the last time she fell.

But falling among the elderly is not a joking matter, nor is it something to be used as an insult.

Don’t be intimidated or shouted down by people who somehow think calling out hypocrites who lack self awareness is ageism.
