    Kitchen staff doing their absolute best to remind everyone of how old this guy is by carefully placing and lighting 81 freaking candles on one small cake.

    Being that age as leader of the most powerful nation in the world is not an accomplishment … it’s a travesty

      And what’s scarier to me is that there’s a lot of people between that cake being made and me seeing the picture on the Internet. A political machine that knows Biden’s age is a concern in the next election chose a cake that highlights his age.

      81 candles on a big sheet cake, maybe. But on a dinky cake like that?

        Exactly, maybe just a small symbolic cake with one symbolic candle … that would have turned into a heart warming scene … instead, they tried to actually warm the nation with 81 candles.

        If anyone has ever viewed a meme in the past hundred years, the most well known meme is the image of an old man blowing out a hundred candles, everyone knows exactly what that means.
