Still no specifics. What are those signs of dementia?

Forgetfulness, stammering, awkward pauses, mood swings, and if you didn't see all of those in his recent press conference, you should watch it again.

I tried to find an unedited version of his most recent statement, but for some reason it just shows a podium for 8 and a half minutes. The statement begins at 8:32. Watch that, and then honestly tell me you don't see it.

I've watched all of these live. I dont need YouTube or TikTok. Thanks anyway. You see what you see. I see one pissed of President

That's fine. You asked, though. Seems like talking with you was a waste of time because you see what you want to see. Blind devotion to a candidate is something conservatives do, and we should all aspure to something better than that.

Another play from the conservative handbood. "Everybody deludes themselves, so it's OK when I do it."

You believe I want the best chance to keep Trump from tyranny to be an 80 year old man of questionable health? My greatest hope right now is that Biden remains healthy and lucid throughout the campaign, and delivers a decisive win over Trump. Trump goes to prison for any one of his numerous crimes, and we pick up some progressive congressional seats in the landslide victory.

Is Biden up to that? Can he do it? You think he can, and I have doubts. It's not my job to pretend I don't have doubts and line up behind Biden. It's his job to convince me that he's fit for duty, and he's not batting 1000 on that front. He needs to do better.
