He is like a dog. He's been told he is a good boy. Except he isn't. They need to take him to a farm in the country.

Apparently, beating Trump is not as important as just doing the goodest job.

Part of "giving his all," is stepping aside. His family needs to accept that reality.

As someone with family dealing with Parkinson's it's crushing that someone is letting their loved one put himself through this.

Looks like Joe was right when he told Stephanopolous that he has a cognitive test every day.

Continuing the board's dullest exchange... Parkinson's disease can lead to Parkinson's disease dementia, but that's not inevitable. Having PD does not mean the person has PDD. But sure, it seems Biden is trending in that direction and there aren't any cures or reversals for this very sad condition.

And I can't remember (!) if it's been posted here already, but I love this bit from the debate. Dazzling lip sync,

How are we now just finding out that a Parkinson’s specialist has been routinely visiting Biden?

You're absolutely right. Michael J Fox is an example of this.

Did we find out Reagan had Alzheimers when he was in office or was it not until later that it leaked, even though it started while he was in his second term? I'm genuinely unsure what medical things have to be disclosed.

EDIT: Googled it. Looked like it was officially diagnosed in 1994, but signs were seen earlier than that.

The guy who figured it out just looked at the daily White House visitor logs, which are public.

Yeah, I figured that much. I was wondering if they are afforded HIPPA rights or if there aren't certain things they aren't because of public interest and national security reasons.

They say that Hitler had Parkinson’s too. It seems Grandpa Joe and Hitler have a good deal in common.

Jill and Hunter are putting this poor man through hell for their own personal benefit. Sad.

[USUC]

Your thoughts genuinely make me think but I feel like you come from a place where both parties being consistently the same kind of bad is central to your paradigm..

Different kind of bad, but they approximate the same level of badness.

This woman is handing the White House to Trump… Of course, there is the 25th amendment.

Top ex-Obama strategist David Axelrod twists knife on Biden: ‘Not winning this race’

Former President Barack Obama’s ex-top strategist on Sunday bluntly laid out the grim state of President Biden’s reelection bid — predicting it’s more likely he’ll “lose by a landslide” than eek out a victory.

“He’s not winning this race,” said David Axelrod, who is credited as one of the key masterminds behind Obama’s two presidential victories, to CNN’s “Inside Politics.”

“If you just look at the data and talk to people around the country, political people around the country, it’s more likely that he’ll lose by a landslide than win narrowly this race,” Axelrod said of Biden, 81, who was Obama’s vice president.

LOL.... David Axelrod must think that 36% is actually Grandpa Joe's approval rate.
