The secondary goal was to put a Progressive in the WH. Well on the way.

Afghanistan, all those lives…collateral damage.

But you are asking the wrong people. The ones here are just soldier ants, not movers and shakers.

Biden's status seems plainly obvious to me --- as it does to many or most people who did not vote for him.

I am asking to see if the viewpoint is a political one in nature.

I thought Biden was one of the lesser evils the Dems could nominate. But I did wonder who would be pulling his strings. Apparently it is not his military advisors. I haver heard Susan Rice.
I would vote for Manchin. Like there is snowball's chance in hell the Dems would nominate him.

I know that I have been negative on Joe Biden for, well, at least in lad's case, probably much of lad's life.

I thought 35 years ago that Joe Biden was a stupid, incompetent person.

Given that, that is my own recognized bias, is it obvious to you all that Biden is losing his faculties? Or do you think the blank stares, stammering, and unable to remember items is normal?

I have ripped on Joe here for awhile, because, imo of course, Joe has a baseline of being an idiot. But to me, Joe's mental abilities and faculties have shown a startling clear decline from even when he started his run to the Presidency.

I am *not* asking you about your opinion on his baseline, but is the mental deterioration noticeable to you? Are you worried about it?

I am deeply worried about what it means and might portend.
