Trump fires Inspectors General

Post Reply New Topic

I don't watch Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, or any other major news outlet. But I do believe Biden suffers from dementia.

Biden obviously doesn’t have dementia. Anyone who believes that is either unfamiliar with dementia or unfamiliar with Joe Biden, and I suspect most of the people who say it don’t actually believe it. It’s fundamentally a pretty ugly slur against both the elderly and people with dementia. It was a horrible thing for people to say about Trump, who lives his life in a state of perpetual confusion but doesn’t seem to actually be unwell, and it’s a horrible thing for people to say about Biden who is clearly incredibly sharp.

The more time passes the less credible the accusation against Biden seems. I don’t feel comfortable bashing the accuser for various reasons but she can’t keep her story straight and she’s got herself in some serious legal trouble for repeatedly lying in court.

In 1989 he bought a full-page newspaper advert in four separate newspapers calling for them to get the death penalty.

In 2019 he maintained that they were guilty.

Obviously I am not a neurologist but with a mother diagnosed with brain shrinkage and atrophy who takes memantine for it I see many similar traits in Biden. With mild dementia one can be coherent for long periods of time as Biden was in the final debate with Sanders. But the forgetfulness of basic things, the sentences where the words do not belong together in any coherent or a barely coherent way and how often these things do happen makes me strongly suspect some form of dementia with Biden.

While Trump also shows these signs there are so many other bad things going on with him as to make my suspicions less strong.

Both candidates if you compare them with past interviews show obvious signs of decline. On can also argue that Joe and The Donald have always had these traits, its just their personality coming out a more due to the strain of the campaign and normal aging process. But often dementia makes it hard to control the bad parts of oneself. These traits might be caused by non dementia factors such as strain, bad diets, and medications. No matter what the cause these traits these candidates show them often enough not to want then anywhere near the oval office but the oval office is exactly where one of them will be next year. Scary and tragic for so many people.

Then Go Back to School (if You Will) And Actually Learn What Dementia Is; It Ain't Just Being 77 Years-Old
And Stumbling With a Few Words, Now And then; At Least Biden has enough Crystalized Intelligence to
See Automatically That Ingesting Disinfectant, in Anyway, Is Not A Healthy Agenda For Well Being.

Personally, (I already did it) I Earned a Health Science Degree; Along With A Social Sciences Interdisciplinary (Psychology and Sociology) Degree; And an Anthropology Degree too; The Poetry Thingie; Writing An 8 MiLLioN Word Epic Longest Long Form Bible Poem Is Just something Financial Independent Folks like me Do in their Spare Time for Kicks; along with Public Dancing, 13,206 Miles, in the Same 81 Months, assessed as a Public Dancing Folk Legend by Documentation and Evidence too by the Local Metro Area Audience.

i worked for the Government for A Quarter of a Century Before i started my Hobbies too; Been Around the Neighborhood And Global Block more than a Few Reps too; Currently, Concluding Volume 3, of One Subchapter, Epic Long Form Bible Poem Of The Entire Effort; All on Facebook in 36 Months in the Profile Pic Description Areas; Yep, 4 MiLLioN Words in 36 Months in that 'tiny effort' of that Whole Hobby; i Believe in Using it and Gaining it; More than Rotting Away...

Using the Scale i've Seen Used here and on Fox News;
George W Bush, Would Also Have this Challenging Syndrome;

But George W. Doesn't either; Believe What Want to but that does
not change the Science of What Dementia Is; And The Fact That He
Obviously Does Not Have It; Clear As Day; It's used as A Pejorative or
Through Ignorance in Terms of Biden Now, if one understands what Dementia even is.

Dementia is A Lot More Than Fumbling Some Words in Communication.

Biden Is Just Experiencing 'Normal Aging'; And the Observable Challenges That Come with that;
But He's Still Sharper than Most of the Younger Folks Who Cannot Do Much More Than a 'Twitter Breath'
When Cognitively Challenged; That's An Issue of Not Using it And Losing It; or Never even Gaining Greater
Proficiencies of Human Potential by Not Challenging One's Self to Greater Environmental Demands At Hand.

Obviously, Biden Has Used His; and Still has Plenty Left.

And actually, There Are Studies of Folks Like Nuns
With Measurable Organic Brain Damage Associated with Alzheimer's Disease;
Still Sharp as Ever, till Their Ending Days; for the Fact that they Kept Expanding their Human Potential
And Re-Wired Their Brain In Neuroplasticity to Accommodate the 'Brain Tangles'; Again, use it or lose it, counts lots.

i Give Trump Credit For Not Following Down the Road of Alcoholism Prevalent in His Family;
For Lord Knows, if He did; Chances are He could Actually Be Suffering With Dementia now Like His
Father Suffered From; One Smart Move by Him; Just A Really 'Bad Person' as far as Bad Folks Come And Go.

Symptoms of Dementia From the Mayo Clinic:

Cognitive changes:

Memory loss, which is usually noticed by a spouse or someone else
Difficulty communicating or finding words
Difficulty with visual and spatial abilities, such as getting lost while driving
Difficulty reasoning or problem-solving
Difficulty handling complex tasks
Difficulty with planning and organizing
Difficulty with coordination and motor functions
Confusion and disorientation
Psychological changes

Personality changes:

Depression
Anxiety
Inappropriate behavior
Paranoia
Agitation
Hallucinations

In My Opinion; It's Not a Healthy Thing For Anyone 77 Years-Old to Deal With a Job As Stressful As President;

Honestly; That's Just Common Sense; But We Don't Have any Laws Against it to protect the Welfare of those who
attempt it; More specifically, the Only Person to ever try to actually do it; It's a Job that usually 'Shortens Telomeres' Fast;
Reagan ended His Second Term at 77; It's really amazing that anyone would attempt a try it at all at 77 Years-Old;
I'd Like to See anyone Here Deal with an Hour Long Public Speech and See how they do; Most folks would
Fail the Standard of What Biden Will do; overall, still, through Lifelong Experience, at 77 Years-Old.

Again; No way, Biden has Dementia; He's Just 77 Years Old; And doing really well for that age for sure, on
Average, at Least. Other than that He makes my Skin Crawl; i wouldn't Let any Female Person i care
about get less than 3 Feet Close to him; i've Seen His 'type' more than once in my Lifetime; the Women
i care about, have seen it much more often; It's A Way of Life that is finally Dying out a bit, literally; i really
Think it is disgusting that He is the Best Any Party has to offer; Character Counts; We should have already learned that lesson. Biden, is Obviously Deficient in Character; We Need that Most at the top of the Heap; but again he's running
Against A 'Devil Incarnate', about as close to that Metaphor as one will get; Do the Least Harm; Do the Least Harm;
And reduce the Collateral Damage; Meanwhile, Find someone worth voting for next go around; all around for real.

Additionally, i Saw a Full Length Video of Biden's Accuser; i wouldn't be surprised if it all happened; but the point
Is, She is Still on Record As Supporting Biden Long After It Happened; She Also Has an Interesting 'Devotion' to
Putin; Not Every Woman Is A Victim; Until after the Act; Passion is a very Messy Human Experience with
Lots of Gray Areas; And MaNipulation Does Go Both Ways; She Does Not Seem Very Credible to me;
as far as Supporting Someone Publicly that actually abused her in such a way; as she actually
supported Biden for His Support of Women's Rights; the Nature of the 'Beast' gets pretty Hairy
on both sides of the coin; It's the Touchy Feely thingie with Little Girls that make my Skin Crawl About Biden Most.

I took care of two elderly parents who are now deceased, so I a very good handle on the condition of dementia. Sorry, I don't want anymore schooling of this subject.

Biden seems to get unhinged.

Biden in Q/A:
“Don't tell me that, pal, or I'm going to go out and slap you in the face.”.
"You're a lying, dog-faced pony soldier"
" You’re full of s---"
"Don't be such a horses's a--"
‘You’re a damn liar, man!’
"You're too old to vote for me”
"You're fat"

My Deceased Father Had Dementia too;
So, You are Not alone on that Measure either.
But in This Case; it is not them; it is Biden in Question, by Empirical Measure; and not Just opinion.

Well, all I have is my opinion and experience. I disagree with you on this.

Yeah; Biden Will Be A Real Jerk;
And Has Problems Controlling His Temper, Usually the origin, of Jerks in General, 'A Wholes' As Such...
That Always Reduces Cognitive Ability and is Likely A Main Cause of Most of His Stumbling in Speech.
He Will Go Lengths without making Mistakes; And that is Clear too; When He is around Allies and Not Angry;
Just a Bit More Flavor of "Trumps"; and Part of that Human Condition, too; Folks that don't Understand their Emotions;
Out of 'Touch'; And Have No clue how to Regulate them; along with Integrating their Senses, Do Not Command Fuller Human Potential.
This is what
Made Obama SO
MUCH Greater; The Dude
Is Still Zen all the way to the Real Bank of Soul At Ease...
A Human So Easy to Respect for those who see Value in 'Humanity'.

i have no Problems with Disagreements.

In the case of Medical Conditions; Education, Science, And Facts Rule; for In Fact That is What Medical
Conditions are Ruled on; There are no Credible Medical Professionals who are assessing Biden With Dementia.

That says More than me or you; i may have the College Degrees; but i will defer to those with More Credentials
Than me too, When it comes to Science, But Hell no; Science Does NOT Rule Art; that's a Totally Different Story;

To be clear i don't expect you to think the way i do about this; of course; i just like to write.

But it's True; Some Folks Paint by Numbers and Call It Art; Again, Totally Different Arena;
i do get Lost in Special Interests as part of my Condition That Is Real And Challenging too;
hehe; mostly for other folks as the Record continues to show; and that's Life too; Black And
White With More Colors too; It Stands to Reason in Common Sense that Biden is gonna go downhill
Much Faster Like Any other Human Being at 77 or even 50, With A Job as Stressful as President; no doubt
This is Happening to Trump now too; no Different than the Effects of Aging it takes on Younger Presidents too.

Overall, it seems
this Country doesn't even have a Mind;
this is worrisome a bit as i am Enjoying Life; And Appreciate my Freedom and what this Country at best will be;
if folks even give a Cr8p about what is going down, down, down; Overall, so Plain to see now for Decades to be.

Meanwhile; i'll continue to Dance And Sing Free; at Best Happy as usual with Smiles, within; i sure don't want 'that
other Job'; So, i can't complain too much, i guess; Haha, if everyone was like me nothing much would ever get done
associated with Money And 'Stuff'; Biden is a Better Option than Nothing and 'Chaos'; i'll do the 'Chaos' and Have fun.

Biden has a lifelong speech impediment and literally everyone sometimes changes direction in the middle of a spoken sentence.

I’ve watched several long interviews with Biden recently and they are not remotely what you would expect from someone with dementia, except perhaps in the very early stages where it is almost impossible to tell. At no stage did he forget what the question was, repeat the same anecdote within the same interview, or anything like that. In the interview with The Breakfast Club he just kept going and going. Politicians love to repeat themselves to hammer the message home, but he didn’t do that, he kept coming up with new things to say.

Both Trump and Biden have access to the best medical care in the world. Perhaps Trump’s doctors might lie to him (I don’t think they would withhold evidence of dementia from a patient but it’s somewhat plausible). Do you think Joe Biden’s Doctor would withhold that information? Do you think Joe Biden’s family would let him run if he had dementia? Do you think the Democrats would have rallied around him if he had dementia (Bloomberg was a credible alternative)?

In the words of Joe Biden, get out of here, man! No malarkey!

A vote for Biden or Trump is a vote to maintain the oligarchy. Sorry, I can't do that. The hope for progressives in this country is a third-party. And the old, "Now is not the time" is a load of bollocks! They crank out that propaganda every year. It works, too, obviously.

If you can build a solid base, and gradually increase the number of third-party voters, it will have an effect on the Democratic Party. Imagine if the Green Party could attract double digit percentage. The Dems would be forced to address issues important to progressives instead of continually shifting to the right.

We do not know what their doctors and family told them but those with dementia are often in vehement denial that anything is wrong. They will double down when told they have a problem. If the man was determined to run unless they physically stopped him from applying they really could not. Biden had the support of key voting blocs in the party for various reasons, he was the lesser of 20 evils etc. They are rallying around him because he is running against Trump considered an existential threat in many realms and he has popularity with voters the Dems are going to need. Any alternative no matter how problematic is preferable to Trump to the vast majority of the party.

That does not mean supporters do not see signs of senility, it means Trump has lowered the bar that much.

And Bloomberg was not a credible alternative, not for that party in this moment.

I watched Biden in 1991, when he chaired the confirmation hearings for Justice Clarence Thomas.

He seemed “awkward” at times even back then.

People sometimes think that I have “signs of dementia”

I am likely superior at narrow, detailed speech.

However, likely, disastrous at cohesive, broad speech.

People have laughed at me and likely think "something wrong".

I don’t buy that Democratic primary voters largely thought the field was “20 evils”. At worst they hadn’t heard of most of the contenders and understandably weren’t prepared to put the work in to get familiar with them. The problem people like Cory Booker has was that they were crowded out by the Vice President. If there were any rumblings at all that Biden wasn’t up to the job then they’d have used it against him, but they didn’t.

For most of the race there were four candidates who looked like genuine contenders for the nomination: Biden, Sanders, Warren, and a non-Biden moderate: for a long time Harris, then Buttigieg, and then at the end it was Bloomberg. Biden came fourth in Iowa and fifth in New Hampshire. He won South Carolina largely due to Jim Clyburn’s endorsement. If Clyburn thought Joe was sick then do you really think he’d have gambled on that endorsement?

Then before Super Tuesday, when it was looking like a three-way shootout between Biden, Sanders, and Bloomberg, several of Biden’s former rivals endorsed him. Two of them dropped out to do so. If there was any inkling that Biden might be seriously sick, don’t you think they’d have endorsed Bloomberg instead?

Finally, Republicans said exactly the same things about Hillary Clinton. She went to a campaign event with pneumonia and needed to be helped up some steps, and people, including users here, were convinced she had a degenerative neurological disease. She didn’t.
