Whatever dementia issues Joe Biden may have, there is no denying that his staff was superb at managing them and protecting both Biden and the country.
WTF? Statements like this undermine credibility. Biden was a President with dementia, and that should not have been allowed to happen. The Democrats struggling to cover up what everyone could see is part of what allowed Trump to return. Trump is also suffering dementia, and should not be allowed to continue in the job either. And it has happened before with Reagan. For a good chunk of my lifetime the USA has been led by old men with failing minds.
- Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years after leaving office, but his son said the symptoms were there in 84, before he started his second term.
  It's like a time honored tradition around here
  
  The symptoms were perfectly obvious when he was in office.
  
  Yeah. Past presidents have done a much better job of hiding it but many (most?) experts believe reagan was pretty out of it by the middle of his second term, if not sooner. And I've seen a few deep dives that argue similar for bush jr but that gets into the other problem.
  Our geritocracy mostly predate the modern internet and 24/7 news cycle (which is arguably why both parties are so focused on the olds). So you have people like Biden and dubyah who both have a VERY long history of speech impediments and "word salad" that predated their infirmity because people did not care back in the 80s and 90s and even 00s. But also... it masked said infirmity. Again, I've seen deep dives that make claims as to when Biden went senile but that is the same "body language" analysis that the vast majority of the audience has no way to assess the claims of.
  I guess, my view is that we aren't electing a single person to lead the country. That is just completely unreasonable due to the wide breadth of knowledge that would be required. What we are electing is someone charismatic with good judgment who knows how to surround themselves with experts in all the required fields. So if that person becomes unable to fulfill their duty... it theoretically doesn't matter.
  That said, it would also be REALLY fucking nice to have someone who isn't drooling while staring into the corner in office.
- Biden nor trump have been diagnosed with dementia. Mental decline in both of them feels obvious, but suggesting either of them have a diagnosis that they never actually received isn't cool
  
  OK. They have symptoms characteristic of some kinds of dementia. They may not have progressed to the point where the diagnosis is clear, but the symptoms are still a serious concern. Reagan didn't receive his diagnosis until after he left office, but those around him saw clear symptoms starting several years before that.
  
  Nah, they totally have a diagnosis, its just not public. These are people who were elected to the highest office in the country. They have the best doctors in the world following them around.
  
  They would never tell you if he was diagnosed. Do you believe he's 220 pounds and a perfect model of health? Like his doctors report says.
- What strikes me is how startlingly different dementia looks on a decent old man, compared to a life long cunt.
- The mentally ill leading the mentally ill chosen by the mentally ill. Thats democracy baby!
What NOW, TheHill? Motherfuckers, this rapist has been off the charts gibbering for YEARS. You could have called this out before the election. You could have thrown everything you have into stopping this obvious descent into chaos and fascism.
And now you have the balls to sit there and be like “wow he’s fucked in the head, gee what should we do”?!
FFS GTFO TheHill.
The republicans ride it into the ground and take us eith them.
If America can stop electing demented white men, that would be grand 😂
- They clearly can't ...
- Many other demented white men are trying very hard to keep it this way.
Soon he will be locked in a room with a phone that doesn't call out. Just like what he did to his dad.
- He'll be dead before he faces any justice.
- Nah they will hook up AI to truth social and let him bask in his adoration.
  
  Why do that when they can just fake it with AI.
Yah, nobody cared first time, nobody cared through the four years in between, nobody cares now.
We handed over our entire political institution because we tuned out because we got tired of the manufactured nonsense, and the only people left paying attention to politics were WWE fans living in a weird cognitive limbo where nothing is real but everything is a life-or-death theatrical spectacle, as it was planned.
If you aren’t comfortable with labeling this as dementia, that’s fine. But there is no question that the president — the man tasked with making critical life and death decisions for both the country and the world — is struggling with mathematical concepts, has vivid “memories” that are not rooted in reality and has an increasingly foggy grasp of past events that did happen. That’s not a medical diagnosis. These are facts we can see for ourselves and we all know, even those of us who voted for Trump three times, that this can’t be allowed to continue.
What now? There will be nothing whatsoever done about it because Trump has a magical aura around him that makes it impossible to impose consequences for anything
Uncle Joe had the right idea:
- Im opting for a 10/22 instead for my first buy i think, shotgun and revolver will follow but not in that order
  Im what you call, a classy Fudd. I'd like to plink without bothering the neighbors.
Wait until he trips walking down the stairs from AF1.
- Hope the fall is in 4k
He is a fucking fascist that tried to overthrow the government. Why are we concerned with whether he declined from bad to worse?
For something to decline it must first be elevated above am the position it would decline to.
This guy’s brain has been a gold plated pile of decroded shit from birth. How do you go lower?
Always has been.
People trying to pretend he's different than he's always been.
Now Vance will be taking over more and more of the decision-making processes
- I think it'll be Miller who takes more and more control
Wow, Trump is truly a man of the people! I too struggle with finding the right words and delusionally believe everything I make up as the absolute truth too. Just the other day I raised the rent 10,000% on my tenants. Trump is just like me. /s
