Lol

Funny thing is this all goes back to mental competency tests for old politicians

I wonder what CEman Don Lemon is. Measuring prime by how breedable someone is would be something we do here

I guess this is one of those threads where I'm *supposed to be outraged.

Anyway, as a man I would say our prime is mid to late 30s.

I mean he's not wrong.

Nah, according to high horse CEmen, there's no such thing as a physical prime, we all stay the same forever!

Wasnt he fired from CNN? Since the cnn purchase there was a huge push to turn cnn into Fox News-lite.

maybe dude is just trying to be based so he can go back to CNN ?

It is always funny when people get upset when , others use their standards on them. Nimrata was suggesting older people in office get tested. And what happens with that mindset .

nobody said physical prime. The clip discussion was about cognitive ability. You just decided yourself that a woman's prime must be decided by her child bearing and not her career, works, etc

20s, 30s, and 40s are when men are in their prime too.

the misogyny displayed by Lemon is deplorable.

She isn't in her prime run for president? What are they talking about. How old do you have to be to run for president?

23 imo

18

I agree, doesn't mean he needs to open his mouth and say it.

If he's right, why can't he say it?

I'm not familiar with this dude but from what I can tell he must have a history of saying incendiary things.

So he's saying...

she's not ready.

He's talking about sexual prime. Which is funny. This is all funny. It's even funnier because Don Lemon is gay so it's like why are you doing this to yourself bud

Why are people in this topic associating the physical prime for childbearing or physical attractiveness to straight men with suitability for running for office? Those concepts have nothing to do with each other.

She's a (trash) politician, not a baby incubator or a model. It's especially notable that no one ever said this about Biden who is now 80. Biden is 40 years out of his "prime" as lemon used the term here.

Well Haley is calling for Biden to have to go through mental tests when she's no spring chicken either.

He had a point and Republican girlbosses are just trying to make him look bad and distract from Haley.

go home, Don; you're drunk.

I heard this on the way home yesterday. Dude couldn't backpeddle fast enough so he doubled-down. Terrible.

This topic shows show easily right wing media can fool people.

I think it's because the clip doesn't give the context. In context, what he's saying is a big yikes. And it's weird that he chose to bring it up

So it is sexist to literally use her on standard on her?

When it comes to criticisms, no I don't think it's worth sinking to a Republican's level.

it's not the same, though - cognitive prime=/= sexual/breeding prime

I think it's a different kind of prime that she is refering to when she talks about politicians

when we talk about women in their prime it's usually regarding the dating world, not political career which are 2 vastly different thing, not sure why he'd leave that out and say "just google it"

felt disingenuous, or maybe he's just a little simple minded

Haley is running for president and has said a lot of unfair things about Biden, but a comment by Don Lemon gets more anger and attention in the public.

I'm not saying Haley is going to be successful but this was a big part of how Trump won tbh.

They're using two different standards. He's talking about youth, physical attractiveness, and childbearing capacity. She's presumably talking about advanced age and mental capacity.

Only one of those is relevant to being a politician.

You don't have to defend every bad thing any black man anywhere does.

yeah zell pretty much nailed it imo, I feel like it's pretty obvious though, Don just fucked up I guess

Where did sexual prime come into play ?

women are in their primes in their 20s and 30s and sometimes 40s is exactly what this is, this wasn't referring to the prime of a political career, no one ever was at their prime of their political career in their 20s lol

when you're talking about women being in their prime, and you say, "20s, and 30s, and maybe 40s", that's what you're usually talking about.

Saying the quiet part out loud may be largely a Republican phenomenon, but it certainly isn't an exclusive one.

Why are you being so dense?

Okay, I just watched the clip...

Dude's a dumb ass.

Even if you follow his standard of "prime", who does he think would be a viable candidate if Biden were not to run? Both Hilary Clinton and Kamala Harris are 5+ years and up on Haley.

Which isn't even their "level." He was stupid for saying that. What he SHOULD have done instead, was question if she would be fit to be a president because women are too "emotional" and heaven forbid world war 3 break out when she's.... ON HER PERIOD! You don't want her answering that 3am call when she's.... MENSTRUATING!

You know, all the things right wingers said about Hillary Clinton. lol

This reminds me of when people got upset at Lavar Ball for saying he can change gears, when a women asked him to. And people made it to be sexual.

*Rosie O'Donnell, Kathy Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg, etc. makes comment about Trump*

Social media: Let's discuss these very important comments by very important celebrities instead of the racist ass campaign Trump is running.

Oh no history is repeating.

Again this is not Don's standard this is her. He is not suggest she should not run because she is out of her prime. She is suggesting that.
