I voted for President Trump (both times) and was so upset when the election was stolen from him.

Having said that, I think Biden did better than I expected after reading all the comments lately on his mental condition. This is the first time I’ve watched him. Because of his age, he certainly doesn’t have the energy of President Trump or other presidents. And he did have to refer to his notes for certain facts and figures, especially on the Afghanistan question regarding troop withdrawals (which he pretty much read his answer). But most of the border questions he answered with his own thoughts and plans to deal with the current situation. (And please know I’m not saying I agree with his stopping President Trump’s policy or any of Biden’s policy plans. I’m only commenting on his capacity to function.)

Biden mentioned he was put in charge of border issues when he was Vice-President. So obviously on this issue he was able to answer much easier and thoroughly without constantly referring to his notes.

On the gun control question, he basically said it was a matter of timing. I don’t think at all that he lost his concentration and read the wrong note card/infrastructure as some claim. I think he specifically veered away from the gun control hot topic and went back to his intentions (he claims) to help the middle class, build back up infrastructure, provide good jobs again for working class, etc. etc.

His comments about China’s goals were accurate. China intends to become the #1 super power in the next few years, advancing in AI, quantum computing, other technology. He listed some steps to keep America competitive, and he did read more from his notes for these steps; but he did better once he got away from the notes and referred back to when he was VP and his many meetings with the president of China.

As of now, I think the man still has his mental capacity. He’s up in age, so defintely he’s not as sharp as he was 10 years ago. But I don’t think he’s in as bad a shape as some people seem to have judged. I could be wrong, and I guess I’ll watch some more briefings or Q&A’s in the next few weeks, though up till now I’ve had no desire to watch anything he did. I never watched one video of his during the entire campaign even. But now I’m curious and want to judge for myself. His aides most likely give him suggestions on how he should respond, what facts to bring up, what subjects to avoid, and a thousand other things he should do. When Biden pauses sometimes, it seems more like he’s wanting to respond with his own thoughts and pushing aside all the thousand suggestions he’s given every day. Again, his age causes him to not be as quick at this as someone younger, but it doesn’t mean his mind is not functioning correctly.

Anyway, I know most people here won’t agree with me about his condition. And as I said, I may be wrong. But I do want to judge for myself and will start watching more videos of his appearances at events or any speeches. (And I’m sorry for this long post!)

What are both of their names, since MOST of us have seen otherwise.

Be sure to view the WHOLE thing - not just the carefully edited parts they WANT you to see.

It really doesn’t matter, because he and most politicians aren’t qualified to dress themselves let alone dictate how the rest of us live. In his prime he should never have been entrusted with the power he was given.

His “all of the above” on gun control showed an egregious lack of mental acuity.

He was given the PERFECT platform to regurgitate every gun control lie the demoncrap left has made up, and his feeble mind could not handle it.

I’ll bet Beelzebubba Clinton, his wife Hitlary, the Kenyan Muslim punk bastard, Debbie Wasserman Goebbels, Nazi Pelosi, or UpChuck Schumer could have rattled off a whole bunch of their lies from the pit of hell.

I suspect that while he is diminished, that we are also seeing the effects of the mask-wearing. I’ve noticed that it has a tendency to make me speak less, or pause longer.

That would actually be somewhat of a miracle since his mind never functioned correctly when he was a young man. I'm not making a joke either. Biden spoke like a man with a two digit IQ when he was in his 30s.
