How will Joe Bide be able to handle presidential debates? Or campaigning beyond his basement?
I almost hate to point this out because I do have compassion for anyone facing the mental challenges of aging. (snip) Keep Joe Biden feeding the geese at his lavish estate in Delaware and I will gush with sympathy (snip) despite repeatedly looking down to his notes, he repeats the same basic point three times within 45 seconds (snip) The clip below is even worse. He drifts off into utter incoherence, a classic word salad.

He richly deserves every bit of public humiliation coming his way for the corrupt, dishonest life he has lead. And especially so for the treatment of Bork and Thomas.

Joe's Puppets actually let Joe do a PSA telling people with mental health issues not to be ashamed to seek help. He appeared very sincere and didn't lose his thoughts. He also appears to not see the irony of the moment.

Biden's handlers will never let him debate, using as an excuse that Trump is unworthy of the forum.

Biden said, “I hope I am never as senile as Bernie Sanders... knock on wood.” The he said “who’s there? Jill, could you see who’s at the door?”

#4 PDT is creative enough to have gentle polite debates with videos of JB.
PDT: Here's a video of JB stating that he wants to raise your taxes. (video shown) Now here is my proposal. If you are in favor of higher taxes, just send more money to the IRS. It's that simple.

one of the characteristics of dementia sufferers is the loss of sense of time and dates.
When Glen Campbell did hid final tour, suffering from dementia, the neurologist asked Glen what month it was. Campbell shrugged and said, "I don't worry about stuff like that.'
(My late best friend did the same thing. If we asked him what he had for dinner, he would say, "institutional food.' 9He was in an assisted living facility. and if we asked what day of the week or month, or year it was, he said it didn't matter.)
Old Jo, now trying to claim that he called for DJT to do something about Kung Flu and China back in January, in reality, called DJT xenophobic and racist for shutting down flights from China.
Biden's handlers can't have it both ways on Kung Flu.
Here is the scary scenario - if the DNC keeps old Jo in the basement, runs a virtual convention, puts an unqualified black woman on the ticket, they could win in November. The voters could suffer from protest fatigue, and believe the dimocrats could give them respite.

Biden has lost, whether or not his handlers will admit it. Nasty is riding the same train as Joe. If they pick the PIAPS as his running mate, to take over after they invoke the 25th , they are asking us to vote for a lying, thieving drunk that falls on her azz if she has to walk 20 feet. Lying Fauxcahontas, Mattress Back Harris and, Abrams (Ga. governor), aren't much better as VP candidates. The dem party is 'The Shining ' of politics.

#7 in April 2009 my mother was very sick, barely conscious, and a doctor very annoyingly shouted into her ear “Do you know who the president is?” She opened her eyes and said, “I’m afraid I do.”

I personally find it quite disgusting that the leaders of the Democrat party think so little of this country that they will actually pretend he is a qualified candidate. Holding the office of President is serious and voters deserve an honest choice for a competent leader. They are making a mockery of the entire process, and demonstrating a complete lack of respect to all of us.

A very dear family member is sliding deeper into senility. Still physically active (well past 80 but could be mistaken as a couple of decades younger) appears perfectly fine most of the time to a casual observer. Time and sequence of events, however "float" making planning and scheduling difficult or meaningless. In general, can't recognize that "something is wrong" or consider help/treatment. Also can behave terribly based on mistaken "mental certainties." Makes things extremely difficult for the senile one...as well as for those who love the senile one and remember the beautiful person that was.

This election cycle the democrats were left with Biden as their only choice. Sanders and the rest shot themselves in the foot...Biden did too but it was just a flesh wound. The left don't care about his obvious mental decline they just needed a figurehead to lose to Trump after which they will come up with the inevitable excuses for the loss including how badly Trump treated Biden the victim. They've thrown everything at Trump and when the smoke cleared he was still standing proud.
Give it up liberals...you already lost this one.

Joe Biden deserves every bit of scorn, calumny and opprobrium we can heap upon him. He deserves public humiliation of the most offensive and degrading kind. I want to see him on the debate stage, live - while he descends into babbling nonsense and loses control of his bowels.

A dear friend’s mother had dementia for several years before her death. She would tell you the same story using the same words three times in a five minute span.
The interesting difference is that she was perfectly happy while Fingers Biden is consumed with anger.

Saw a bumper sticker for Biden on a car with Delaware plates the other day. It was driven by a woman who looked like she was in her mid to late twenties. Typical democrap/Biden voter. Clueless doesn't begin to describe these people. Yet we're told everyday by every news organization including FOX, that Biden is leading in this poll and that poll, and in this state or that state. One might have believed to a certain extent the polls in 2016, but not now. The 24 hour news cycle is a perfect forum to display utter nonsense which polls have become. Polling results are the results that people giving the poll want to get.

Yeah, I agree that Joe Biden is suffering from mental decline but that comes with the territory. His party base. Democrats are searching all over the place for a resolution to all of this but they want to ignore the one solution that they are trying so hard to keep in place. Taking God out of society to keep their power intact. They don't want to believe that there is someone more powerful than they are and humility is just not them.
Take a look at all of the institutions where government has taken over and weakened them. Education? Healthcare? Defense? God and prayer are not allowed in any of these institutions resulting in chaos and confusion. And in Joe Biden's (Mr. Ukraine) case, corruption.
And now all of sudden George Floyd has become the spokesperson and front person for Joe Biden? I am sickened when I think about him holding a gun to a pregnant woman so he can find money for his drug habit. People think I should believe that he changed but his autopsy report showed Methamphetamines and Fentanyl in his system. He didn't change one bit while serving his five years. Yet, Joe Biden seems to identify with all of the rioters, looters and people who have caused so much destruction.
Then again look at the fact that we allow abortion in this country and Joe Biden doesn't mind. He votes with his party. This teaches that babies are expendable. For crying out loud, there are animal species protected so they don't become extinct but we as a country, because Democrats and RINO's think it is okay, abort babies. Where does one learn that birth and life are a blessing from God? When you allow that thinking to permeate, George Floyd had no problem sticking a gun in a pregnant woman's abdomen.
Now, Democrats and RINOs want to defund police. It makes "law and order" irrelevant and they can keep living their Godless lives. Yes sirree, Joe Biden's mental decline is evident but that started when he put a "D" behind his name.

#1, there is no ''maybe'' about it. After reading Lifson's tender article, I couldn't bear to watch the video provided. 1990 is still too close to my loved one's incoherence see the sad images. Nobody who claims to love Joe Biden could bear to see him on display this way.

Dementia is a hideous disease. My late mother suffered from lewy body dementia and her decline was slow and cruel. I don't miss the trips to northern Illinois and the memory care facility where she was kept.
If in fact dementia is Plug's affliction, he and his family should tell the dim party and the msm to get lost and he is getting out. If he remains in this race by his own power-hungry decision as a Trump-hater, he is a narcissistic fool same as his former boss Obie.

Sadly, I have had up close and personal longtime experience with the ravages of dementia. Yes I certainly agree that Biden is often incoherent and blank. I also know that dementia patients can have moments of clarity and then drop right back into not knowing where they are or who's around them. But there's something peculiar about Joe's dementia: He appears to be able to control WHEN he's rational. I've seen him speak several times (including recently about the riots) for more than 5 minutes without notes or a teleprompter. He appeared perfectly logical, answered questions deftly, and most importantly participated in banter spontaneously and cleverly. A dementia patient can't do that. They can't do anything ON DEMAND. Even if a dementia patient suffers only PERIODS of confusion, he absolutely, positively cannot CONTROL when those periods are. There's no such thing as Lucidity On Demand.
Although there's much research, there are no wonder drugs yet which would allow a dementia patient to perform articulately when necessary. So my question is how do we explain this apparent and highly unusual inconsistency?

My mother - age 92 - has dementia. She swears "they" are stealing from her. All my clothes have been stolen she insists, yet her closet is full. It happens several times a day, every day. I love my mother, but do not want her to be President!

Here at Lucianne we think rationally. We are informed and educated. We have life long values and most of all we love our country. This not the case for the Left. They are unhappy people who feel they've been cheated out of life. If you go to one of their favorite websites, like moveon.org you'll notice the difference between the left and the right.
They are mostly angry and seek out the comfort of others like themselves. As the saying goes...Misery loves comfort! They don't know the true facts and believe everything that people like Joy Behar says as gospel. It's truly unbelievable! During the Covid lock down I caught 2 of my liberal friends repeat false facts and information that they were fed from one of those programs or from a popular leftoid website. It's amazing how people you once thought were smart could have their minds twisted. It mainly stems from own self insecurities that manifests into all this anger. It's almost a mental disease. The lieutenants on the Left know exactly how to manipulate them and keep them under their control. Take a look at them. In fact, it could be termed as a bonafide type of mental disorder...Do you suffer from mental anger syndrome? Are you always in a fit of rage? Call our help line to learn how to find happiness and peace of mind. Operators are standing by.... Lol!

I despise Joe Biden. Biden is a low IQ idiot and a hateful, vengeful man. Almost fifty years with no track record except wrong headed decisions, braggadocios theft along with loudmouth threats and sexual attacks that sum up his life. There's a reason Biden, the banjo boy from the movie Deliverance, is the front runner for the democrats or maybe the left is just plain stupid.
Biden's wife Jill lets this go on so she must want to live in the White House really bad but I think she's wrong.
Oh well I wish Joe Biden all the misery that is bestowed on him for what he did to Justice Thomas and Robert Bork. Let the feeble Biden get served his just deserts like Ed Kennedy received.

It is no accident that we have heard more and more chirping from the PIAPS recently. She is sitting in the closet behind Sleepy Joe, cackling and looking at her watch.

What's missing in the discussion about his being frighteningly unqualified for the office, is the fact that for 8 years he could have stepped immediately into that office - in a heartbeat, as they say.

I sed to have lunch at a Senior Center, no lunch now because of the COVID-19 virus. There was a very sweet elderly lady who many times sat next to me and tell me the same stories over and over. I would always smile and say that's nice. God has called her home.

Joseph Biden is but a figurehead and a placeholder for whoever Barack Obama and other leftist and liberal Democrat Super Delegates select to fill the Vice-Presidential slot on the Democrat Party ticket. Hoping there are enough stupid people out there who will vote for Biden based upon his past name recognization alone as an old time liberal Democrat politician, elect Biden and bring the leftist and liberal Democrats back to power in the White House after which whoever the Vice-President would be, following a short interval, would take over as President.
Obama and those Super Delegates could care less that Biden is headed into senility and is exhibiting declining cognitive abilities, as whoever the Democrat politician who they pick as for the Vice President slot would be the one who will be running the leftist and liberal Democrat power show in the White House first informally, with a lot of the Obama crew who will be reinstalled in the White House. Then after a time, when Biden is wheeled out to a rest home that person will take over the Presidency.
Remarkably we are only a few months from the general election and the American public does not know who that person would be! Sounds about right for a leftist and liberal Democrat plan, but first they must defeat President Trump and all his “deplorable” supporters who are the people who make the country go!

Joe is just an expendable tool. If by some strange twist of fate (I mean fraud) he is elected, he won't last beyond January 20. He will "fall" or have a "stroke" or otherwise be Arkancided away. Does anybody really doubt that?
