Ya, I noticed he did not hug a group of flags. He did not yell to throw anybody in jail. He did not make up childish names for his opponents He did not kick anybody out. Ya, impaired. He also failed to call himself a genius or one of the smartest people in the world. I agree, he didn't do any of that stuff. So, what's that mean? Does that means he's OK? If that's not what you're implying, I guess I miss your point.

I feel that my reasons for thinking he is cognitively aware are every bit as good as any I have seen for saying he is on permanent decline. Just going by my last 4 years of presidential observation.

I point you to this video to start off with. Biden can't remember people's names, let alone have the mental bandwidth to make up "childish names."

Biden's first press conference.

A prime example of reading sources we know will bend facts to meet preconceived ideas. We are all guilty of that to some degree. Every report I have read praised POUTUS's conference. But then I don't typically read Fox News or New York post. I prefer Washington Post, CNN, and the New York Times.
There are those who hope Biden fails at everything regardless of the effect on the country. When 35 was elected I was bitterly disappointed but still hoped he could grow into the job. So we are all wrong at one time or another. He never approached presidential conduct.

There are those who hope Biden fails at everything regardless of the effect on the country. When 35 was elected I was bitterly disappointed but still hoped he could grow into the job. So we are all wrong at one time or another. He never approached presidential conduct. First of all, I don't depend on anyone else's opinion or take on things. When I see an opinion, I go and get the root facts/documents, then base my opinion off of it. There's the video. Two of them as a matter of fact that I posted. Do you need me to link to and timestamp every screwup of Biden's presser? WP/CNN/NYT are all about pushing the narrative, not presenting facts in an unbiased manner. I call the WP the Washington ComPost for a reason. Might I remind you, or did you entirely miss this story? ‘The story was a hoax’: Donald Trump hits out after stunning Washington Post retraction. It's a sad state of affairs when I have to go to Australia to get news with actual facts. I highly suggest you step out of your echo chamber. " There are those who hope Biden fails at everything regardless of the effect on the country." In his first week in office, he killed tens of thousands of union jobs, removed the protections that was meant to reduce the prices of insulin and EpiPens back to reasonable costs and so on. And if you didn't know this (because WP/CNN/NYT aren't covering it) the "Kids in cages" is a lot worse now than it ever was under Trump. One facility is at 745% of capacity. He's talking about banning semi-automatic weapons via EO, and more things I can't think of ATM. His own party is taking about making sure he has "adult supervision" as far as launching nuclear weapons. And just in case you didn't know it, you can't enter the country via aircraft if you pop positive for the 'Rona, but you get a bus ride to the city of your choice if you enter illegally and you have the 'Rona. As far as "acting presidential," the person who sits in that chair is arguably the most powerful person on the planet. Frankly, there are times when we need a polite gentleman, and there are times we need a brawler. We've needed a brawler to take on the bloated monster of our own government since 2001. When you consider how much flack Trump got, he was right all the way down the line.

Interesting WaPo story. The words they initially reported were worse than were actually said. And what do you know? The story was retracted. But that does not make false the fact that the sitting president of the United States was making calls begging state officials to find him votes. Or that he was declaring himself cheated and was denouncing massive fraud in the vote that never had any proof. A humorous fool except that he was POTUS and refusing to acknowledge the results of an election.
And now the party that he says he still leads is fighting in multiple states to keep people from voting. One of the founding precepts of our government is that it is elected by the people. So what does it say about the Republican party that their main activity for four years will be to keep the people from voting. WTF, Georgia has made it illegal to give food or water to those in line. One must be so proud to be a Republican these days.

He also failed to call himself a genius or one of the smartest people in the world. Are we talking about President Biden, the topic of the OP/thread or are you talking about someone else again? If we are talking about Biden the topic is his level of cognitive functioning as opposed to whatever personality traits he has or doesn't. The observable evidence is staggering that he suffers from significant functional cognitive impairment and also perhaps from diminished coordination and strength that's not totally explainable by his age. Unlike his cognitive issues his physical ones could be improved through a proper exercise routine. I could write pages and pages where I simply listed examples of behavior that shows beyond a reasonable doubt that he suffers from cognitive impairment. Could you write as many examples showing that he has normal cognitive function. Shiny you are one of the smartest people I know, a person of integrity and a gifted writer. Why waste your talents in this tread venting about an objectionable person now gone, Trump? As I recall you had a thread or at least an excellent post eloquently and accurately ripping Trump in another thread. He's gone and despite some peoples opinions I do not believe he will ever hold a high public office again. He is history. Biden is the present. Biden is a problem. He is a problem despite being a upright decent person. He's demonstrated that for decades in the senate and in the public eye. When it comes to Trump, in the words of a great Supreme Court Justice, who is missed, (at least by me), "Get over it." You don't think Biden is seriously cognitively impaired and that there is daily evidence to support that? Then I encourage you to make your case. Addendum: My assessment of Biden is not in the slightest targeted for political reasons or bias nor even tainted by politics. My opinion is based solely on the man and his health. The closest to politics anyone could accurately say about my assessment of Biden is since he is president how big of an impact does in cognitive issues effect his ability to govern as the an individual and independently as our president. If he is not, then who is calling the shots or running the country and making policy if Biden is not as an individual making those decisions.

To paraphrase Arc for you Shiny, "Trump is living in your head and not paying rent." How long are you going to let him stay there? ;-)

Only until we have properly sentenced him and he has begun to serve his sentence.

Only until we have properly sentenced him and he has begun to serve his sentence.  Please quote the appropriate sections of US code (or state code) he should be charged under. I firmly believe that Hillary should be charged under the Espionage Act for her email server debacle. I also firmly believe that Hillary, Obama and his cronies should all be charged with various 4th Amendment violations, election tampering, lying under oath unlawful detainment and a host of other various charges. But since I live in the place called REALITY, I understand it will never happen. I don't let Hillary and Obama live rent-free in my head. Considering New York got Trump's federal tax returns months ago and we haven't heard shit about it since, the prosecutors probably found out that Trump has very good tax attorneys and there's no "there there." Trump is not a nice guy, I can stipulate that. But he is smart enough to keep his records clean. Trump will not serve any time in custody. Get over it and drop those steamer trunks of TDS you're carrying. They're not doing you any good. Your Schadenfreude is showing.

Mark you are a very nice guy and have been a consistent contributor to the forum. You are eloquent in your posts. As stand alone posts they argue your POV well. Unfortunately you consistently post off topic completely or steer the direction of the topics and threads posted way off to the into the distance.
Knock it off. You want to talk about Trump either start a thread of your own as that topic or move your posts over to the thread on Trump started by Shiny sometime ago.
Shiny stop encouraging or baiting him and you too stop contributing to the hijacking of derailing the topic of the tread. As stated to Mark there are other open threads about Trump including ones started by or contributed by you with posts.
This is not a political thread or about DNC v RNC or a pissing contest thread between a Trump hater and a Trump lover or the future about Donald Trump. It's not about Trump at all, it is about Biden. Go to the Trump threads if you want to post as he being the topic.
And to both of you we are all free to say what we want at GA, always has been so. We are also free not to comment on a posted topic unless we want.
One of the rules here though, always has been, is with serious posts stay on topic if you are going to post in a thread and especially true is don't knowingly deliberately hijack threads.
Joe Biden is THE topic with his cognitive function the main issue.

Joe Biden the individual, (for ID purposes only, the one that is POTUS), would fit right in at GA as a member. He would rarely if ever post. If he did post they would be very short posts.
And then distinctly different and separate from all of our other members he would often in his post wander and appear to lose where he is trying to go and conclude without making a point or end on a different subject. Again, the issue claimed in the last sentence doesn't apply to anyone else here but would make the President unique in the forum.
