Whether or not we think Biden is ‘in his right mind’ doesn’t mean we need to make up stories like we ourselves have dementia and don’t remember the course of events.

Way back when. Many a decade ago I used to be intimidated to post here. No really i DID think you were ALL very smart. You’re not. Put together you might be . I can think of exactly two people who I respect because of their intelligence.

You are not one of them. And when you can criticize me for something other than Trump while trying to tak the attention off of the demented parent of an obvious coke/meth/cookie dough addict come find me. Otherwise, like I said to my dear friend mickey, fuck off

So yeah speaking of politicians that represent me and clearly have dementia,
Sen. Feinstein's office explains viral clip: 'Preoccupied' after 'chaotic' meeting | SFGate

Biden has verbal slip ups and gaffs like forgetting that a congress woman he had worked with died in a car crash just a month prior to his speech, but he does seem to actually know where he is and what’s going on. Hell even Trump is lucid.

Feinstein on the other hand, doesn’t really know where she is or what she’s doing and is being propped up by her staff. It’s absurd that she’s been my senator for 30 years, and seems to be destroying any good will she had by holding on to it like royalty.

There’s been rumors from her staff that she’s not the only one, I wonder if we got a taste of who else is a weekend at Bernies with Mitch’s glitch and that no one seemed that concerned.

It is insane to me that Feinstein's primary caretaker is literally Nancy Pelosi's daughter. What the fuck. I don't understand the desire to rot in public view.

I don't think Trump has actual dementia - like, he might have slips in the way that anybody his age does, but mostly he's just a congenital moron with some very severe personality disorder. I'm also pretty sure that he spends a LOT of his time high as fuck. Biden's slips appear worse because of his stutter. I don't really worry about that. Feinstein is like a whole separate end of a whole other spectrum of demented.

Let’s go with rumors and not what we can see with our eyes. I do not care how much rationalization goes in to Bidens behavior. I know about critical thinking and all of that. If you don’t witness it yourself it’s not accurate. But we are talking example after example ad infinity. Even i stopped defending Trump after a certain point

Agreed.

Things like hiding illiteracy* can look like Dementia and among his many insecurities is Trump’s illiteracy.

Now I’m no expert in alzheimers, but my Mom has worked with alzheimer patients all my life and I got a side seat watching my cousin deal with my aunt’s alzheimers. The harsh reality is alzheimer’s is a progressive degenerative disease that generally has a life expectancy of less than 10 years.

If Trump was showing signs in 2016, and Biden gaffs as Vice president were signs in 2015 then both should be on their last ropes, they should look more like Feinstein. Alzheimers doesn’t just cause memory issues, people slowly end up living in their own world, we can only hope that ‘dementia’ Trump/Biden forgets someone recently died, instead of suddenly wandering off stage before screaming at everyone that he’s going to call the police if they don’t get out of his house before literally pissing himself while staring down the audience. Or actively attacking someone. Alzheimers can be nasty.

If anything ‘Biden has dementia’ just shows that many people have never seen serious/bad dementia.

There was no rationalization. You said Jackie was long dead, that was false, you said Jackie was multiple women, that was also false.

Look dude just take your ‘oops I misremembered’ lump and press on, no one will think you have dementia because you exaggerated his gaff, don’t double down like some insecure contrarian and if you absolutely need his gaff to be bigger than it was, it’s essentially admitting that the actual gaff wasn’t really that bad.

*Illiteracy is reading at significantly below your expected level, and not just the inability to read.

If it were anything about wanting to make effective use of time she'd be writing letters to her reps and senators demanding they pull a 25th amendment. Instead, it's posting on :ff:, a forum notoriously full of Europeans and other assorted foreigners, which is about the only thing less effective than prayer. It's about screaming at people, not effective action.

Of course we don't. He has the comprehension of a 5 year old, the empathy of a rock, and takes delight in lying. Plus he's morbidly obese and ridiculously orange.

Oh - did you mean Biden?

No one's hero worshipping him, or saying he's a pinnacle of human fitness. Just that he is orders of magnitude better than anything your side* is offering.

He wanted to be a politician for fucks sake - no one in their right mind would do that.

If you had an ounce of compassion for oppressed people I might believe the compassion you pretend to have for the adult son of a billionaire who died doing something stupid, but of course you are just projecting again when you accuse me of heartlessness.

Video resurfaces of Demi Moore passionately kissing 15-year-old boy | The Independent | The Independent

She was a 19 year old adult capable of making adult decisions. Why was she not charged with sexual assault of a minor?

Who knows? I can think of a few innocent reasons, like the kid didn't feel it was, or more unpleasant reasons, like lots of people wouldn't consider this assault, because it's a boy with an older, pretty woman.

Or maybe because that almost never happens in real life, but even less so back in 1982.

Come on, pretty much everyone here is old enough to remember that.

1982 was the year we decided to outlaw child porn in the US, and you guys are wondering why a 19 year old was not charged for kissing a 15 year old?

I'm used to younger people not getting how accepted pedophilia was at the time, but you guys were there. She was not charged because virtually nobody was charged for that sort of thing at the time.

Not American but old enough to remember the societal transition from “Don’t go near old man Wilson’s house, he likes kids.” to “This motherfucker need jail time.”

I hadn’t known, until looking it up just now, that 16 year old Demi met 29 year old Freddy Moore and married him a year later after he divorced his wife.

So if anything the scandal is why is that 19 year old girl kissing a boy close to her age when she should be home with her 32 year old husband who left his wife to be with a high school girl.

The moon is not made of purple cheese. The moon is made of GREEN cheese, and if you doubt that, you probably think that Columbus discovered Spain.

In my defense, I was 5 for most of 1982.
