Joe Biden forgets his speech is over, stares vacantly ...

[lyman]

I would say he should leave her out of it, and frankly, ought to be ashamed of himself.

Time will tell on Biden, but his wife Jill, about whom no one has anything bad to say, seems pretty protective of him. It's one thing to have slowed down a bit with age. If he was having those kinds of telltale gaps in his days, probably she would have already pulled the plug on his campaign.

I know some people past 75 who while maybe not as sharp as they were, can still get it done. And Biden's moral compass is still intact, and in case nobody noticed, his vision for the Federal role re: Covid is much more coherent than Trump's.

everyone on this board knows Vern is taking care of his wife, and that demerit was for some uncalled for remark,

you seem to be the only one offended, and to make a deal of it,

as far as Bidens moral compass, his history, beyond the latest #metoo will prove he has none, (I remember a big deal about plagiarism way back when)

he has only the vision his handlers are telling him to say,

This is significantly more than slowing down a bit with age. Time will indeed tell on Biden. But for the sake of the country, I hope it's sooner rather than too late. Perhaps this time there will be a real 25th amendment situation, instead of a phony one. Sad for the country. He has no business running for President in his condition and I say that with all confidence.

The problem, of course, is that he will have a Vice President selected for him, and when the 25th Amendment is invoked, that person -- who will be a mere left-wing shill -- will be president.

Based on my personal experience, I would predict that by this time next year he will be largely incoherent, and will use gestures for most communication. His frustration level will go up and he will have explosive temper tantrums.

My wife has had Alzheimer's for the last 8 years. He's progressing just like she progressed.

Thank you Vern. Not many of us have your experience with this horrible condition and I appreciate your insight.

Don't know why you would drag your wife's medical history, as unfortunate as it is, into a political discussion on the internet. You don't like Biden, so you her as an example proof? Geeze I would never do that. IIRC someone got a de-merit for suggesting the condition is contagious.

Actually I think you are a bit out of line with this comment. I appreciate Verns insight on his observations on Biden's behavior as a voter.
