Dr. Jill

She can see the signs we are all seeing..... not very "caring" about her husband making a complete fool of himself.
I would hope....no, I'm sure..... that my wife of forty five years.......out of concern for me.....would recognize the cognitive decline....and not allow my condition to be on public display for all to witness.

Now she’s a real doctor

The rest of the world seems to be fine with Biden’s cognitive ability

The right been beating this drum since he said he was going to Run

Only 5% of Americans in their 70s have dementia. There’s no reason to assume Joe Biden is one of them, unless you’re looking for political ammunition.

Greg Murphy, who represents much of Eastern North Carolina in the U.S. House, has said repeatedly in the last few weeks that Biden, the 77-year-old former vice president, has dementia.

Murphy is a medical doctor — a urologist. Sept 9th 2019

MAGA World says Biden's lost it. Republican senators disagree.
Seven GOP senators who’ve met with Biden lately described him as cogent and well-versed on the issues they discussed.

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/0...enators-477813

My experience in that one setting was that the president performed well,” said Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.). During his conversation with the 10 Republican senators who visited the White House, Moran recalled, the president didn’t rely on his staff or the vice president for information.

Let me guess these GOP senators are Rinos

"The rest of the world seems to be fine with Biden’s cognitive ability "

His approval ratings might suggest otherwise.

"The right been beating this drum since he said he was going to Run"

Just because the right says something, is that evidence that it's wrong?

The left told us to be afraid of John McCain's age in 2008, and I'll bet my life you didn't care. Because as always, everything is OK when the left does it. McCain wasn't obviously in cognitive decline when he ran.

"There’s no reason to assume Joe Biden is one of them"

Unless you've been paying attention for the last 18 months. He said on TV, that the US would respond with chemical weapons if Russia used chemical weapons. He also said (when he called Peter Doocy a stupid SOB), that high inflation was "am asset". Doocy asked if high inflation was going to be a political liability, and Biden obviously didn't understand what Doocy was asking him. Bidens response was "inflation? What an asset. What a stupid SOB". Biden had zero clue what he was being asked, and it wasn't a complicated question.

Still waiting for you to explain why you called Desantis' bill the "don't say gay" bill, when it does exactly nothing to homosexuality that it doesn't do equally to heterosexuality. You said it, so you must believe it, I'm curious to know why you believe that.

If you actually believe the rest of the world is fine with Biden’s cognitive ability you need to go be checked for dementia yourself.
The world & 3/4 the people in this country are laughing at him.
Probably the only guy in the country that’s happy to see what he’s doing is Jimmy Carter , who is no longer the worst President in my lifetime.
Biden is nothing but a bumbling mouthpiece for those who are speaking in his earpiece telling him what to say.
His daily bumblings make for great entertainment on Howie Carr’s show on my ride home from work.

Dr. Jill was Joe’s side action he was banging when he was still married to his wife.
I’m sure she will be moving on to the next guy in a few years when Joe is no longer around.

You dont need a phd, doctorate, or a degree to see that Bidens mental capacity is diminished to the point that he cannot be an effective leader.

My wife has worked at the same nursing home for the last fifty years...that's right 50. She has admitted, interviewed, and monitored hundreds if not thousands of dementia patients and their families...she has a degree.....but her vast experience with this subject goes beyond what most doctors have seen.... she knows the signs, sees it every day, and agrees he is obviously failing. Of course i am biased but I consider her an expert on the subject...so have the last eight administrators of the facility.

We are all aging .....and not going to be as great as we once were....the time comes for every man.

The time has come for Joe to step down and not drag this country down any further than he already has.

Do you really think Joe is running anything other than the stuff not contained in his diaper & running down his leg.
He’s a puppet with an earpiece and Obama has the microphone

Joe Biden is a HUGE embarrassment, a muttering fool!
Agreed......He is not in charge.......a puppet.
Obama treats him like an ugly stepchild.
Before he got senile he was a pretty good con-man.

Could also be time for term limits and maximum ages to serve, but I agree no way he runs again and not really knowing his particulars, I’m not sure stepping down helps or hurts us.

Hey, what they are doing is working

Passing an American Rescue Plan bill which created the most significant pro-family tax policy in a generation.

Getting America to 72 percent of the population fully vaccinated.

Passing an infrastructure law so bipartisan that 19 Republican senators voted for it.

Nominating a SCOTUS candidate so qualified that she has the highest approval rating of any nominee since John Roberts.

Managing American involvement in a major war so that America’s ally is winning, our alliance is unified, the war has not spilled over, and American troops have not needed to get directly involved.

Calling for a $32 billion increase in funding for law enforcement.

Stewarding the economy to a place where job growth is on a historic upward trajectory.

You should run for President.
If Joe can be President with his advance Dimensia you wouldn’t be any different !


The only thing Joe is doing is putting the middle class in the poor class.

when you list all the good things ( some of which he inherited like vaccination infastructure, but still he did a good job continuing to
manage it), and you ignore all the failures ( final stages of afghan withdrawal, a mess at the southern border, failure to deliver covid tests in useful numbers), unbelievable inflation, surging crime, some
wildly unpopular social policies, ignore his obvious cognitive decline and how much of a jerk he can be to those who challenge him even a little, what a complete moron his VP is). when you frame it the way you just did, you make him look like Eisenhower.

But a better way to judge any executive, is to consider the good AND the bad. The polls tell us how americans are judging him.

Are you serious? Take your blinders off....
Yeah...... my paycheck now buys half the fuel oil and groceries it did two years ago. The Biden Inflation train is going off the rails.
The job growth is people who got paid to stay home and do nothing.........running out of free government money....now needing to get their asses back to a real job.

Serious answer.. Rome wasn’t built in a Day. It will take years some decades for many infrastructure projects to be planned and built …. Kinda like oil leases just having them and wanting more leases doesn’t equal instant oil or lower oil prices

Two years ago oil prices were negative and market prices for end products were historically low.

Fuel oil in 1978 was 54 cents per gallon, adjusted for inflation that would be $4.45.

When you’re whinging about the price of oil keep in mind TFG negotiated a deal to increase and stabilize the price of oil to get it out of the cellar. OPEC and our own crude suppliers have said publicly that they will not be forced to increase supply to reduce price.
That’s why the administration is releasing oil from the strategic reserve to increase supply

so in your mind, biden gets credit for every single good thing that happens in his watch ( covid waning, stock market way up, unemployment dropping like a rock). And he gets precisely zero blame
for the bad things that happened in his watch ( insane inflation, surging gas prices, surging crime, surging border crossings). do we have that right?

the economy is opening back up as covid hopefully fizzles. that was going to increase gas prices, and result in tons of jobs created, regardless of who was potus. either he gets credit for all or none. but naturally, you prefer to cherry pick all the positive outcomes

The root cause is greed for power and money. The politicians don't have to accept bribes. They have been accepting bribes for centuries. It's not some new phenomenon. The politicians were doing it in this country well before citizens united. The Progressive agenda, for example, is the accumulation of power into a centralized system of government in order to be able to do whatever Progressive politicians want to do in spite of legal or constitutional restrictions. Their method is the rewriting of the Constitution by legislative and judicial fiat rather than by constitutional amendment.

Laws cannot prevent corruption if the laws are not followed. The corruption of the American system of government did not depend on Citizens United. The politicians have been as eager as economic power brokers to participate in that corruption--actually they have probably been more responsible since they had the civil power to maintain the constitutional order. As one of our Founders said, the Constitution was made only for a moral people and wouldn't work for any other kind.

If Citizens United invites corruption, it only does so if the politicians are corrupt. Corporations, since Citizens United, have "contributed" to both parties. Amazon donated more to Democrats than to Republicans. I suspect that corporations will give more to those who they think will win. I find it telling that the centralization and growth in power of government parallels the centralization and power of corporations. The same corruption of politicians can be influenced by the centralization of groups other than corporations, such as huge labor unions.

The constitutional distribution and separations of power made it far more difficult to create broad networks of control over the individual people of this country. But if the constitutional order is breached, corruptible gatekeepers in our units of government, can sell out the people in order to maintain power and expand their wealth. The Progressive centralization of power has steadily made it easier for those gatekeepers to control greater areas and greater numbers of people. And it has made it easier to centralize economic power into fewer and larger businesses to work in tandem with more centralized and powerful government peopled by corruptible politicians.

I agree with RMarsh's wife. My wife has the same responsibility in a Memory Care unit and loves her residents, even in their various states of decline. She listen's to Biden for 60 seconds and shakes her head with concern for his mental health and the liability we have with a leader in that state.

You stated something and I asked nicely and then you insult me.

You're the one who starts a thread and when asked for clarification and examples resorts to insults.


Go back to lurking you old clown.
