    None of the above.

    Honest questions: Do you honestly think Joe Biden is operating at
    full mental capacity? Do you not see the changes in him?
    Seriously, do you think he may be in the beginning stages of some
    kind of dementia-type illness?

    No politics in those questions - just simple questions about a
    person.

    I know you lived in Kentucky for a while so you might understand and even remember this. Towards the end of his life Happy Chandler got to where you could not put a microphone in his face without him sticking his foot in his mouth. A lot of folks got up in arms about what he said, but others of us
    who were familiar with his past history realized that most of what he was saying could be blamed on his declining mental faculties.

    When I see Biden speak, I am reminded of Happy. I am also reminded of my
    late Uncle, after his stroke. There is not much question that Joe's mental health is in decline. His recent generalizations about blacks and latinos should not surprise anyone. Nor should his forgetting where he is or forgetting what he is saying mid-sentence. You'd have to be deaf and blind
    not to notice it.

    That is why many suggest he should not debate. Despite Trump's many idiosyncracies, they are afraid of what Biden might say or do that will
    make him look even worse.

    Whoever he picks for his VP, should he win, will be the one that ultimately finishes out his first term. Be sure you are happy with his choice.

    Mike

    I think that he responded with good clarity and focus, something that
    Trump often stumbles over. Near the end, he did have a brief stutter
    event -- something that he has mostly overcome and dealt with since
    childhood.

    "We gotta...it's, just, but... you gotta... I mean...the...tee... we gotta 'gree-issue'... look, heh, my, my message to everybody I talk to..." -- Joe Biden, MSNBC "Morning Joe" interview earlier this year.

    "We hold these truths to be self evident. All men and women created by
    the, go, you know, you know, the thing." Joe Biden, campaign rally,
    3/2/2020.

    "You know the rapidly rising, uh, um, uh, in with, uh, with uh, I don't
    know, uh..." Joe Biden, C-SPAN, June, 2020, apparently speaking about
    COVID.

    "The problem is, those countries like Africa and Asia, those places, they're the reason why we have all these problems." Joe, at a Primary campaign stop
    in Iowa, circa March, 2020.

    A couple of quotes that at least sound coherent, although I only read the transcript, which might have been edited to remove stammering and rambling:

    "Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things." Joe Biden, interview hosted by National Association of Hispanic Journalists and the National Association of Black Journalists, earlier this week.

    "We can build a new administration that reflects the full diversity of our nation. The full diversity of the Latino communities. Now, when I mean
    full diversity, unlike (the) African American community, many other communities, you're from everywhere." -- Joe Biden, virtual National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials conference, shortly
    after his campaign attempted to backtrack the previous comment above.

    When I was in school, I learned that Africa is not just one big country and
    has ethnic and cultural diversity, just like Central and South America do.
    I would assume the leader of our country should know that, too, and am
    pretty sure past leaders got dinged for making similar statements.

    "No, I haven't taken a test! Why the Hell would I take a (cognitive) test? C'mon, man! That's like saying, 'You, before you got on this program,
    you took a test where you're taking cocaine or not,' what do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?" CBS interview, 8/5/2020. He in past claimed to have been tested multiple times.

    "I am, um, I am very willing to let the American public judge my physical and mental fill... my physical as well as my mental fill... fitness...",
    same CBS inteview.

    You can search and find multiple examples on the campaign trail where he
    cannot remember if he was elected VP in 1976 or 2010 or several other years that are not 2008. I could see confusing 2008 and 10, but any year
    2008-2016 with 1976?

    Just the latest example from Trump: yo-semite

    OK I guess that proves that his mental "fillness" is slipping, too, or
    maybe he is having trouble with his "gree-issue," or, um, uh, you know, his thing.

    I sometimes stutter also, but what Joe has going on is well beyond a simple stutter. Like I have pointed out before, I have had at least a couple of relatives (and one co-worker) who started having issues like this. Maybe
    Joe is more resilient than they were but, with all of them, when we started noticing things like this and when it became a serious issue took < 4 years.

    Mike, use you brain...

    I am. I think you might need to take off your blue-tinted glasses and
    your blue-filtered earpiece and pay attention to Joe. If he gets elected,
    I doubt he will serve a full term. He certainly won't make it 8 years
    before the party decides he needs to step aside.

    Like I said, be sure you are happy with his VP choice.

    Mike

    That's right. Nothing at all.

    Biden has early dementia, and that will become obvious when he
    can no longer hide from the public and avoid speaking. For
    example, at the "convention" upcoming, and during the debates with
    Trump (assuming he doesn't find a way to excuse himself from
    that).

    His in-ability to focus and speak coherently will be so clear that
    even hardcore Democrats will have to acknowledge it, and Trump
    will win re-election in a(nother) landslide. Thanks, DNC, for
    installing Biden as the candidate and assuring the outcome of the
    election!

    I agree, it certainly is not.

    But as Mike said right there above, what Biden is exhibiting is
    *FAR* beyond stuttering. His speech and clear inability to focus
    are very clear evidence of something wrong. It's quite obviously
    the beginning stages of dementia.

    Watch it play out in the coming months and then admit that I was

    Study Predicts Political Beliefs With 83 Percent Accuracy Scans show that liberals and conservatives use different parts of the brain when they take risks, helping to pinpoint the political party a person prefers By Marina Koren
    smithsonianmag.com
    February 14, 2013

    If you want to know people's politics, tradition said to study their parents. In fact, the party affiliation of someone's parents can predict the child's political leanings about around 70 percent of the time.

    But new research, published yesterday in the journal PLOS ONE, suggests what mom and dad think isn't the endgame when it comes to shaping a person's political identity. Ideological differences between partisans may reflect distinct neural processes, and they can predict who's right and who's left of center with 82.9 percent accuracy, outperforming the "your parents pick your party" model. It also out-predicts another neural model based on differences in brain structure, which distinguishes liberals from conservatives with 71.6 percent accuracy.
    [...]
    The idea that the brains of Democrats and Republicans may be hard-wired to their beliefs is not new. Previous research has shown that during MRI scans, areas linked to broad social connectedness, which involves friends and the world at large, light up in Democrats' brains. Republicans, on the other hand, show more neural activity in parts of the brain associated with tight social connectedness, which focuses on family and country. [...]

    Very interesting and informative. Makes perfect sense to me, and

    I do about "social connectedness".

    I also hope that one day, my dingdong will extend to 12 inches,

    Hi Mike,

    Biden has early dementia, and that will become obvious when he
    can no longer hide from the public and avoid speaking. For
    example, at the "convention" upcoming, and during the debates with
    Trump (assuming he doesn't find a way to excuse himself from

    consider him one of the greatest presidents of the modern age....

    Good point, Mike. Reagan did -indeed- have Alzheimer's:

    "Reagan disclosed in November 1994 that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease earlier that year. Afterward, his informal public appearances became more infrequent as the disease progressed. He died at home on June 5, 2004."

    Take care,
    Janis

    LOL - a dumb comparison. Reagan was diagnosed 5-6 years *AFTER*
    he left office. Biden clearly has early signs of it *NOW*.

    Are you not able to see the difference in those two situations?

    Reagan clearly had signs of it throughout his presidency, and especially during his last term.

    Biden hasn't been diagnosed with anything either, except by armchair psychiatrists like you.

    On another note, did you see the breaking news today about the
    laptop they found with thousands of emails on it showing Hunter
    Biden leveraging Sleepy Joe with the Ukranian scandals? Seriously
    bad news for Joey, assuming the media lets it get aired.

    I see reference to two emails of questionable origin.

    Seriously. Lots of lies and grift, drug use, favors bought and
    paid for, corruption. Could be the end of the Biden campaign,
    stay tuned!

    Oh, we will. Sounds like yet another desparate disinformation attempt
    by Rudy.

    Oh, and before you ask about the source, the story was broken and published by..... wait for it..... The New York Times!!! Wow,
    who would have thunk they'd do something like that?

    Wait for it -- NOT the New York Times, but a much lessor publication
    called the New York Post.

    No, this is actual news. I can understand you not recognizing it

    prefer.

    Yes, I crossed up the name there. NYP is correct. Assuming the
    story is true, does it matter much? Will the story appear on any
    of the leftist media outlets (like all the national networks)?

    So darn true... The New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, which owns many conservative/sensational media outlets around the world (this information for people who have no interest in science, economics - people who choose to believe alternative facts).

    "Assuming the story is true" is a big stretch. Turns out that the FBI
    is investigating the dump of Hunter Biden emails as a Russian
    disinformation intelligence operation. Long ago, they warned Trump that
    Rudy was in frequent contact with a Russian agent, but Trump blew them
    off.
