There are going to be millions of people (including several on this forum) that will KNOWINGLY vote for someone with dementia simply because he has a "D" next to his name.

Next time any one of them says anything about "team over country"... point them to that.

Do you know for a fact that he has dementia?

Stop the hyperbole..... he has not been diagnosed with dementia.

It is clear he fumbles words and has made a few cognitive mistakes in public etc.... but you can't say he HAS dementia without a qualifier like possibly, seems like, or something like that ....

Oh, oh, I flunked the test.

This quote made me laugh:Biden’s supporters insist that the alarm at their candidate’s mental state is misplaced and that he is in fact ‘functioning at 100 percent’. The really alarming contingency is that they might be right.

TEAM OVER COUNTRY!

Mine was the appropriate qualifier. Beyond a reasonable doubt.

I've seen plenty of people with dementia and I am convinced Biden has dementia beyond a reasonable doubt.

What would make you think he doesn’t know it?

Forget Trump. How long would Buttiguy have lasted displaying the same mental capabilities?

You can still be a narcissist and have dementia, right?

After the hell the Dems and MSM have given President Trump, his family and his supporters, Biden needs to have the hell brought to him over his dementia and his corrupt family. The MSM will do their best to cover over Biden' dementia, but it won't work.

Here's another article on the same topic (linked from the Forbes article): https://spectator.us/time-scrap-goldwater-rule/

Thank you for the tip!

Article basically stated that Biden should take the same mental capacity exam that Trump did as he may have cognitive impairment

Author also suggested that no one really cares about it because no one expects Biden to finish the term. He is a placeholder.

Who he picks as his VP will be very interesting

Sloe himself stated he was basically a placeholder. He used the word “bridge” though I’m pretty sure.

Even he’s essentially said I’m a one-termer, lame duck out of the gate.

Who on earth votes for that?

Course, I guess I just don’t understand the systemic sexism, misogyny and ageism of today’s dim party.

Just is what it is, I guess.

Probably about as long as Rick Perry.

I don’t know about anyone else but I hope that doesn’t happen. I wouldn’t wish what has happened to our President on anyone. Certainly not a guy that’s had 2 brain aneurisms and is a bad headache away from being completely incapacitated.

I hope the Democrats do the right thing and give the nomination to Bernie and don’t put this old guy into a bad situation.

Understand, but sorry, the Dems need to reap what they sow.

I had an uncle who was a fairly bright guy. College degree in the 1940s, had a successful white collar career. Retired at 65. Did well until maybe his mid 70s. Then he started having bad moments, and they got worse slowly but steadily.

He would be having a normal conversation, then say something completely off the wall, like his train ran off the tracks. And he frequently forgot where he was, or what word he wanted to use. And he didn't get angry like Biden does, but he would get quite frustrated. He eventually died of it maybe 15 years after symptoms arose.

I'm no psychiatrist, but based on what I have seen with Biden, it seems similar.

As for Trump, he's not senile, lol. He's just a raging narcissist who can't let the least slight go by, and for whom everything has to be the biggest, best, etc.

But that doesn't disqualify him from being president. It just makes him highly annoying. Plenty of successful businessmen are classic narcissists.

However, senility should be a disqualifier, IMO.

A New York friend of mine said she knew lots of people like Trump. He's just a classic guy from Queens.

I believe they will. Simply because of what they have done to our President. The electorate won’t forget the four year temper tantrum the Democrats have shamefully participated in. That’s in a nutshell why they are running poor Joe. He’s cannon fodder for what’s coming.

When I got out of school in ‘81 I worked with a guy from Brooklyn. He used to say “New Yorkers were born assh oles and just got bigger”. In my 40 year career whenever I dealt with anyone from there I remembered that. I’ve actually worked with guys from there that didn’t respect you unless you gave back to them what they were giving you.

I think Trump is like that.

Time to make them both take a test. Biden and Trump. Democrats been banging the mental competence drum on Trump since day one.

Time to call in the markers

Do you think dementia/Alzheimer's is hereditary? I ask that only because I know Trump's dad had it the last few years of his life.
