Is Biden mentally OK?

[Poker Player]

It could be that he was lying on purpose, which is not uncommon in a politician, but I doubt he would do so on this issue.  Biden has shown on several occasions that his cognitive abilities are far from 100%, but... this?

Biden says son Beau 'lost his life in Iraq' during Colorado speech

"President Biden erroneously said that his son, Beau, "lost his life in Iraq" during a speech in Colorado on Wednesday.

"I say this as a father of a man and won the Bronze Star, the conspicuous service medal, and lost his life in Iraq," Biden said.

Beau died of brain cancer in 2015."

we know that biden is quite old,, so it's very natural that his cognitive abilities have diminished, that he forgot that his son died of cancer not because of the war in iraq.. so let's just leave it at that

It does not leave me very calm to think that the leader who can exchange a few atomic bombs with Putin confuses what his son died of.

I don't think he forgot anything but he just keep telling so it just gets into the mind of people so just to seek support is the actual reason behind just lies.

And if he is actually not fit mentally then probably we should have a law regarding mental health of the politicians who is ruling for every 6 months atleast, if they fail then they have to quit.

I have a feeling the big red button has been taken away from him

I wish he doesn't run in 2024 though. That would be elder abuse.

[examplens]

the internet is full of his nonsense. He was just lucky in one way because he was almost the only opponent to Trump. so it was chosen as less harmful.
I don't think that the president of the USA as an individual has too much power, well, it could also be a cranky old man.

I do not understand why Americans had to spite Donald Trump by choosing old Biden as their president. A Hillary Clinton presidency would have been better than Bidens. Trump was doing well for the US apart from his constant media appearances and tweets which the hierarchy felt it was not a president like quality. Trump was a charismatic president who helped Americans grow their economy and confidence. Am sure under Trump, Russia would not have gone into war with Ukraine. Donald Trump would have prevented such happening

[BADecker]

None of the presidents, at least lately, are/were any good. If they were, they would see to it that the people were taught to file court claims against government officials rather than complaints. And protest marches are just stupid. But no. Presidents don't want to do that, because it would undermine their own criminality in government, as well as that of Congress.

I started to have some feelings to a level of doubts about Biden since the start of the Afghanistan crisis that led to the seizure of power by the Taliban group, ordinarily you couldn't expect Obama or Trump to act so lenient in that regard as he responded to the issue over there, Biden may be old enough but i think we still have enough leaders in their numbers above 70 years and still very active a d conscious of every steps and decisions they made, maybe in the case of biden it could be heriditary if we trace his actions and kinds of mind thinking.

[BADecker]

A lot of people think that Putin and the Russian government are a bunch of aggressors trying to rule the world. But few people even recognize that Biden and the Dem leaders are aggressors who are doing just that very thing.

Most of the general evidence says that Biden is okay. I mean, when a person gets to his age, and needs teleprompters because he can't remember things, that's okay, because it's that way with a lot of people. Biden is right in there with the weakest of them. (And he wants another term in office?)

But if he is simply doing an outstanding job of faking some kind of mental problem, then he's not okay, and just might be up for prosecution, sometime, for all the treasonous acts he is doing against the American people.

You're still paying attention to nonsense that's coming from old Joe? It's only 2 of 4 years passed and he already said so much nonsense that's scary to imagine what is waiting for us in upcoming years. Yes, he is responsible for nuclear weapon. But c'mon, there is no big red button on his table. This procedure involves mutliple people and I hope that someone would stop him from suicide move.
But I hope that he won't go for another 4 years in 2024. It will be better both for him and USA.

For me it's unbeleavable that USA had to choose between Trump and Biden and it's best what they could find. I'm not so positive about Trump like you. Maybe he wouldn't let war between Russia and Ukraine to happen, but cost of it probably would be recognizing Crimea and Donbass/Luhansk as part of Russia, what is not acceptable.

I think you are right. And for the next presidential elections, if he runs again and things don't change much, the same thing will happen but the other way around.

Yes, he is responsible for nuclear weapon. But c'mon, there is no big red button on his table. This procedure involves mutliple people and I hope that someone would stop him from suicide move.

I see that argument repeatedly, and also referred to Putin: that if they wanted to drop atomic bombs, the people in the middle would not allow it.

I'm not so clear. I don't know exactly how it works but I'm sure that disobeying an order at such a high level could land you in jail for a long time. Apart from the fact that if the enemies have dropped an atomic bomb on your country, the pressure to obey the chain of command is much greater.

War is not an option to dialogue no matter what will be ceded as compromise during negotiations. Do you know how many lives have been lost in the ongoing war? And we are taking about 'recognizing Crimea and Donbass/Luhansk as part of Russia,' and you say that is not acceptable? You say this because you are not directly involved in the war or have not lost a loved one in the war. If you had, you would understand the pain in a war situation and known that the war could have been prevented. It is a senseless war.

[Gyfts]

No, he's not okay. The constant gaffes over the last two years aren't that big of a deal. They're funny, a bit sad, but inconsequential. We sort of accept the fact he's not all there so his words carry little weight. What's more concerning are the handlers behind the scenes that tell the President what to do because he can't handle himself.

He's had a long life of public service. It's time for him to enjoy retirement and not run in 2024.

Begs the question -- who's next. Kamala? She wishes.

It's gotta be Hillary. Both candidates could replay their greatest hits from 2016. Her e-mails!!! It'd be epic.

Or Democrats could choose someone with a pulse and win in a landslide but where's the fun in that.

That's not just my opinion. You can ask Ukrainians and most of them will answer same that giving Crimea, Donbass and Luhansk to Russia to avoid war. isn't acceptable and such action can't be justified. After giving these regions to Russia you would have peace until Putin will decide to take another slice of Ukraine. What to do then. Give it again, until such country like Ukraine will cease to exist.
If Zelensky would agreed to ultimatum give in early stage of war, he would end worse than Yanukovych did.

I see your point but then it is all just assumption of what Putin could have done after the first concession. What if his intention was not to take more? My argument is about the lost of lives in the war and from your point it is not preventable knowing who Putin is and what he is up to. Let us hope this war is eventually brought to an end so that reconstruction and rehabilitation can begin. Both countries are now damaged psychologically.

He is in his late 70s and is so affected by old age that he cannot recall when his son died in Bethesda, Maryland. Despite attributing the cancer to Beau Biden’s proximity to burn pits in Iraq, he sometimes conceded, "I think he should be let alone to his grieving.

According to Vijay Singhal's comment on Twitter:

There are numerous examples of Iraq veterans who developed cancer after being exposed to burn pits. The Washington Examiner needs to leave a grieving parent alone.

I believe there are other factors that could have caused Beau Biden's cancer since it has not been proven to be caused by burn pits.

[darkangel11]

There could be something wrong with him. He seems to be having brain issues like short term memory loss and he's got that thousand yard stare that people with Alzheimer's have.
There's a lot of videos showing him looking confused like when he was having a speech and suddenly turned around and walked away, or when he couldn't find a way off the stage just minutes after getting there.

Now that Pelosi is admitting that January 6 was all staged, it will be interesting to watch Biden either go nuts, or else die of fright... for his part in stealing the election. Sure, Pelosi hasn't admitted to election theft, yet. But with Jan. 6 coming out, the stolen election will come out, as well.
