So your argument is the Joe Biden’s senile because your credentials as a psychiatrist allow you to make that diagnosis in spite of your having never had a single evaluation with him.

And then there’s the evaluation of a special counsel, presumably a lawyer who is also credentialed to do psych evals.

Perhaps you could both evaluate Donald Trump as well. This post was unsupported bs from get go to close.

no he doesnt have dimentia. I know people with dimentia. they have a very hard time functioning. He does not. He's not young. Hes human. Not perfect He may be a lousy speaker. But unlike Trump he can read, he can handle security meetings, they dont have to hide things form h im, or make sure his name is in the briefly typed pages just to draw hiis attention, he understands about balance of power, he knows how the government works. And supports fair elections.

I've known a fair number of crazy people in my life, two at least who were certifiably schizophrenic. But I guess if I'm not a licensed psychiatrist, an M.D., I have no basis for arriving at that conclusion about anyone I've known. Anyone basically sane can watch Biden speaking for 5 minutes and realize he isn't playing with a full deck. Even if they only conclude that in an "intuitively relational way."

I thought that the comment made two valid points. Making a diagnosis of dementia is a formal process with evaluation standards. Biden might not meet your standards. And that is valid. In my view as a super ager He is amazing. He continues to fulfill his duties. He is healthy. He exercises. His administrators are loyal. He is measured in his responses to criticism. He is loyal to his appointees, family and friends. And his long term memory is sound. As with any candidate he has both weaknesses and strengths. I will vote for him over Trump. Those are the choices here in the USA.

Don't insult our intelligence. Every journalist in Washington D.C. has known this for four years ... why are they suddenly asking questions about this now?

And they won't stop since his painful answers just proved the charges.

So ... put a stake in the presidency of "Joe Biden." Caitlin is right. It doesn't matter who holds the office, but it's not going to be Biden. I'm sure the front man or woman to replace him has already been selected for us.

Susan there are many forms of dementia, even people who have diseases like Parkinson's can develop dementia.

“At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.” Aristotle

-“The biggest danger to the security of a nation’s citizens in the modern age is NOT a military invasion by an army of foreign soldiers. It’s an infiltration of their government by an army of foreign and domestic billionaires sending handpicked soulless bureaucrats to get control of key offices in their nation’s capital. And when they’re done infiltrating and getting control of a country’s government, they move to take over the military and the major news media outlets as well.” Brian Cates

"they" always had control in the U.S. they wrote the "sacred" Constitution to benefit themselves and maintain that control. all else has been a smokescreen all along.

Well, that's all correct except the tense. So they don't "move take over the military etc ... that'd done deal. But Please don't ask any major news outlet for çomformation ....

Indeed , and it was already clear when a repeat offending plagiarist and the cheerleader for the worst foreign policy decision in American history - Iraq - got picked by the DNC. In effect they were saying it doesn’t matter who is in as long as they what they’re told. We call the shots. Dementia? Not a problem. Yes saying Mitterrand and Kohl are alive is problematic. And we have to stop him from saying he plans to bomb Assyria.

If there was ever a clear cut example of invoking the 25th due to "incapacitation" then this would be it. The problem is that you then get President Kamala 🤣😂

This is precisely why Vice President Harris is described as a "insurance policy".

Biden should have, imho, should have been excommunicated when he (and Pelosi)voted for the Iraq war. The Pope at that time said it was an Unjust war, and even offered asylum to Hussein hoping to avoid it.

Anyone who masqurades as a Christian to get votes should be prosecuted for fraud.

His Rosary beads tell me he's a fraud.

If not then, he should do it now, along with going to Gaza. At the risk of repeating myself,

Pope Francis must go to Gaza and make a stand for peace and freedom.

Please sign the petition and share widely.

These are a few small things we can do. If we can do more, let us do more.

In his run for president these issues also came up, and during Covid he wasn't that visible. As an American this doesn't surprise me. His speech about getting food and supplies into Gaza to help those suffering people while we fund the genocide that is killing them, well, maybe it's better to be senile when you're an American president. Interesting that during the 21st century Bush/Cheney, Obama, and Biden carried out our middle eastern wars that were put forth before we even went into Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks which tells you those decisions do not reside with the president, although someone like Cheney is another story, since he signed on to these wars a few years before we had our New Pearl Harbor, on 9/11

A jar of Kalamata olives would probably authorize fewer war crimes.

There used to be a piece of graffiti scrawled across a motorway bridge just south of Manchester. It read:" If voting could change any it would be against the law".

Or as Billy Connolly memorably remarked, "Don't vote, it only encourages them".

@Tony Erizia

Re: "If voting..." graffiti?

That is more or less a George Carlin quote from his stage material, not sure if he originated it?

"“If voting changed anything, it would be illegal.”

-George Carlin

He went into more detailed analysis of WHY the USA has the government we have here:

What an exact analogy.Capitalism never ever allows or has allowed real democracy. In England to avet a revolution they instituted the House of the Commoners under the real friends of the rulers the House of Lords Finally in 1911 they were forced to abandon the power of their House to overturn vital legislation issuing from the Commoners . In the USA they did have period of post war instability where a POTUS John F Kennedy started issuing real threats to the Real system by the legislation he was proposing- So they assassinate him. Since then the American Empire has only known fake democracy .
