President Biden turns 80 on Sunday, making him the first octogenarian in the Oval Office. His milestone birthday brings new attention to the gerontocracy that has led both parties for years and raised questions about when a new generation will come forth. https://t.co/GE9BQWtiry

The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

meanwhile I can see from Twitter that variants of this are the newest right-wing conspiracy that has legs because it "'splains" a whole bunch of embarassing stuff in one neat package:

Part is they overestimate themselves.
As long as they had Trump to galvanize & do the heavy lifting, they could act like big shots. McCarthy, DeSantis, Pence, etc will hall have trouble crawling out of their niches at a national level. DeSantis at least has a serious FL base, but what is he in Congress or nationwide?
by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 12/04/2022 - 1:22pm
I think true what you say about McCarthy and Pence but precisely because they have made themselves a reputation as pitiful pandering prevaricating beta weasals, exactly the thing that many love to hate about politicians.
DeSantis. on the other hand is like in another category, as a governor he actually has to do stuff, and remains to be seen whether his shtick will transfer to national. I suspect from how he acted in a 'good and fair manager' role in the hurricane aftermath, even working fine with Biden, that he is quite capable of changing from culture warrior on a dime.
It really is just different when governors run for president.
