Its not funny, it's wrong. Completely wrong. It cannot be denied any more that he is simply not competent any more. It's not his fault, it's not shameful, it's not an attack on him - it's just a fact. He is displaying signs that are consistent with dementia and the democrats are being extremely foolish to not take action.

The choices for president of the USA are a man who very possibly has dementia or a megalomaniacal wannabe dictator.

Either way, they're screwed.

It's Joe-ver

Lacky301 · 12/07/2024 10:32

Seems like he has parkinsons tbh

@WinterMorn I feel sorry for you. Pathetic to call everyone who disagrees with you a conspiracy theorist. Try better GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinFlowers

😂😂😂 here come the conspiracy theorists

Aww bless, it’s cute when grown adults only display enough mental capacity to regurgitate soundbites. Run along now, your limited world view is calling you.

Yes, the stiffness, the hoarse whispery voice, the chest breathing/rapid breathing (side effect of parkinsons meds), the holding of the arms so they're misaligned with his torse, the gait, and the hypomimia all shout PD.

kcchiefette · 12/07/2024 10:46

Its incredibly embarrassing and also inhumane to keep letting him do this. We can all clearly see that the man has some major cognitive issues and letting him continue is making a mockery out of him.

They need to take action ASAP

EasternStandard · 12/07/2024 10:48

Not sure about funny because denial from various people for a while means there’s a $91m fund backing a person that needs to be out of the race

Really, don’t feel sorry for me. Your comments about democracy and only “approved views” being allowed show exactly how misplaced your sorrow is.

Really? Thanks for the laugh.

MrsSkylerWhite · 12/07/2024 11:38

It’s quite funny that you misspelled his name.

Nitgel · 12/07/2024 11:42

The radio said it was just an error after he gave a 1 hour speech which was coherent.

SummerSnowstorm · 12/07/2024 11:43

He'll be starting a war with Switzerland soon at this rate..
I do feel for him. Its undignified allowing him to deteriorate so publicly like this.

It’s not a case of “letting him” continue. It’s entirely his decision.

If Michelle Obama has any desire to run for President now is the time.

And immediately corrected himself. I wonder why you didn't mention that?

He only corrected himself when he heard everyone gasp and call out Zellensky's name instead.

😂😂😂 here come the conspiracy theorists

So what is your explanation? Several freely available news outlets have been showing clips like this since the guy was elected. Wandering off, ‘gaffes’ , bizarre behaviour towards young girls…it’s all on you tube . But all the very intelligent and correct thinking supporters are suddenly amazed and distancing themselves - presumably because the election ‘debate’ exposed it in a way and on a platform which could not be ignored or waved away.

So the supporters, especially the ‘ inner circle’ are either liars or fools , or a cabal. Take your pick.

WinterMorn · 12/07/2024 12:17

I don’t deny what you have said. My issue was with the ludicrous comments about democracy and “allowed” viewpoints. You clearly acknowledge that freely available news outlets have been highlighting the behaviour for years, which flies in the face of the other poster’s nonsense.

Which news outlets are you referring to?

PuppyMonkey · 12/07/2024 12:24

It’s not funny, it’s pretty tragic imho.

separatedornot · 12/07/2024 12:27

Biden seems egotistical and arrogant. He needs to go.

He also called Kamala Harris 'VP Trump'. Wince.

Alalalalalongalalalalalonglonglilong · 12/07/2024 12:27

If the man's ego wasn't so big he would step down, nominate a younger candidate with his blessing and give an emotional speech about age defeating us all and maybe the way forward for US is a younger leader, time for the next generation to shine etc etc. That would put Trump under pressure to step down too for age reasons, which he won't of course and the younger candidate would win.

And calling Kamala Harris 'Trump'?

I expect any president to be competent for an hour, and the other 23.

I’m not sure there has been much coverage of his decline though?

If you mean in alternative type media then it reinforces the pp point
