    Completely agree with everything you're saying in this thread. The country is being held hostage by the egos of two people clearly unfit for the task of leading the free world.

              It's like watching something short-circuit.

                        I don't understand how anyone can watch that clip and believe Biden is suffering from dementia. Certainly some age-related cognitive decline, but he was clear and forceful. One of his better moments, actually.

                          Biden reminds me a lot of my father when he started to go downhill. Dad would go through fits and starts and then things would be somewhat normal. Somewhat being the key word. I don't think Biden has mentally totally left the reservation but it's been obvious he's going through a decline. Most likely it will continue to get worse.

                            The symptoms of dementia or cognitive decline in general aren't static. There are often days of fluidity sandwiched between more common difficult days. This particular clip doesn't tell us much one way or another. It is clipped in an unflattering way though no doubt.

                              I have no argument with the notions that Biden has declined over the years, that he will continue to decline, and that he should step down. If only he had done so a year ago--we'd have a much more vigorous and normal opposition to the gawdawful MAGA movement. Despite some major miscues by his administration, I think history would have treated Biden very kindly. Now, not so much.

                                you've convinced me! That 14 second clip taken w/o context reveals that Joseph Biden has dementia.

                                this is a Fox News like post. Cmon, you can do better
