Shoutout ma man biden still rockin that iPhone X or XS. You don't always have to have the latest and greatest.
That's why we have Biden
AOC president when?
AOC legally becomes old enough in October of '24. You have to be 35.
Very odd rule. I just passed 35 recently and i feel like I'm slowly dying already. Feels like a struggle to learn new things
Damn dude, good luck. 35+ I feel like I'm just hitting my stride.
35 in 1787 is way different from 35 in 2023. :)
I think this is exactly the metric our geriatric Congress was going for.
Around the same age here, and I feel I would have made a much better president in my mid 20s than I would now, for sure.
Jesus fuck, no thank you. People in their 20s are absolute idiots.
It depends on the person entirely. Some mid 20 year olds are absolute idiots, but some boomer age people are absolute idiots. I don't think age is really a factor in that.
I think it was to prevent family legacies making the office more like royalty.
Can one run for president “early” if one will be old enough during election/potential presidency?
In theory, you just have to be 35 to be President.
If she ran, she would turn 35 a month before election day and would be 35+3 months when sworn in.
The youngest elected US President to date was JFK, who was 43.
Theodore Roosevelt was 42 when he assumed office after McKinley was assassinated.
Interesting, thank you!
If you're republican you can run when you're 20 yo Canadian and just claim funding furthers didn't really mean it like that.
Damn, I can't wait til she's legal!
Remind me 9 months, 1 week. ;)
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough 🙂
Wouldn't the latest president be Washington?
No. Washington is the Earliest, he was verifiably the first POTUS.
"Late" means chronologically after everything else. Biden is the one who came last, he is the latest.
The joke
Your head
The joke
Was bad
Yes
It was.
You're correct, I don't get how not understanding an English word is a joke.
It's a play on how late can mean dead.
That's fair, thank you for explaining it, but I've never once heard late as in departed used in the form "late, later, latest"
It's not really ever used like that.
On the other end, I remember when Obama came into office and there were no smartphones certified for meeting the security regulations, the USSS & NSA had to work with RIM to build a custom hardened blackberry because he wouldn't give it up.
He was stuck with that blackberry until his last year or two in office and complained publicly that iPhones weren't allowed yet lol
Then there's Trump, who was probs rolling an FSB build of iOS with a passcode of 1111.
He used an unauthorized, insecure Samsung Galaxy S3 or something like that, actually.
The presidential burner phone, available today at walmart
"Comes preinstalled with Pegasus, for your security"
Passcode had to be "80085"
No better way to keep a poor person poor than trying to appear rich.
Case in point "luxury" clothes that cost insane amounts of money just because they have labels printed on them for everyone to see and not because.the fabric is particularly great.
Sure it's good quality but not better than what you get for half the price and not even close to the custom tailored stuff the really rich people wear...
Really don't understand how people spend a fortune to walk around advertising for Gucci, LV, etc...
