Is Joe Biden Ok

[Hispo]

no 80 year old grandfather is fine, he should retire soon and enjoy the beautiful days with his grandchildren lol 

You may be saying that ironically, but it is a very valid point and I am sure there must be millions of people who are citizens of the United States, who share such opinion of yours.

After all, if civilians at his age are already retired. Why is he an exception?  Even if it is a personal decision of his, it is obvious that politics lately have a trend towards keeping people in power up to their 80s and 90s.

Whether that is positive of not, depends on the personal point of view of each of us.

I hate grouping everyone like this. There are certainly 80 year old individuals out there that are mentally as sharp as a tack. However, Joe Biden certainly isn’t one of them. It may not even just be his age. He was lying through his teeth 30 years ago to the point people thought his political career was done. In reality he likely has had mental problems like the onset of dementia for decades, which made him a perfect puppet to thrust into power.

Americans voted for it too, can you believe it!

Given how forgetful he has become with age, it would be a horrible idea for Americans to support Biden for a second term. Because of what they stand for in the world, America as a superpower doesn't need a president like him. They require a president who is energetic and young and who can stand and bring about enduring peace between Russia and Ukraine.

By 2024, Republicans need to have a more suitable Joe Biden replacement before the next presidential election in the United States. They should not be shocked if Democrats win the election if they refuse to do so.

I read somewhere that a lot of young people in the US don't want to see such an old president. They want to see a younger leader of the country. So I think Biden has little chance of winning the next election. Because the young population of the country is unlikely to vote for him.

The real question shouldnt even be if he is ok or not, its how to stop people from clinging to power. Age of the President and the age of people in congress is getting absurd, at some point the body and mind just are not that sharp anymore.
As for Joe Biden himself, i think it he has been deteriorating from the start of his presidency, there shouldnt even be debate about this. The question would rather be, whos a good candidate to replace him.

Is any politician over the age of 80 okay? Have you seen Mitch McConnell or Diane Feinstein recently? There is a great argument to be made in favor of having an age limit for serving in congress or the presidency. They are not capable of serving their constituents effectively. This would not really be a problem if Americans didn't keep electing them for whatever reason.

I agree with you guys, there should be age limits, not to mention that these old people often don't understand new technologies. They talk like they still live in the past.
 
Recently I've seen an 85 year old member of Congress Maxine Waters say that the US should accept CBDCs as fast as possible because China is doing it and we don't want to lose the race!
It's like a race to prove who's dumber, the US must to do what it can to win...

Elizabeth Warren who knows nothing about bitcoin but tries hard to ban it is 74.

These people should retire.

The big question is Joe Biden running the country or someone behind the scene is in control? - his wife I think is behind the scene.

The big question is Joe Biden running the country or someone behind the scene is in control? - his wife I think is behind the scene.     

But why his wife?
If there was actually someone aid him with the direction of the country, then it would make more sense it was a select group within the democrat party, who have more experience on politics and obviously more interest in Joe Biden to do well in his first administration, so they can keep Trump out the Oval office.

Though, even though many believe that Biden is not capable of govern, one is not supposed to understimste a president, regardless of their political affiliation or origin.

Interest in the issue of Joe Biden's health eligibility is no longer just a matter that the opposition at home cares about. It has become clear that the American President suffers from health problems due to his advanced age, which hinders him from performing many basic functions.

The last time Biden appeared in public, it was clear that he was finding it difficult to communicate and convey information with sufficient clarity, as we have experienced with all previous presidents in the White House. Surely there is someone stirring the scene in the background. This will have a direct impact on the course of the upcoming elections, and I believe that Trump will use this card.

No question about it, Trump will and that is one of the things the Democrat party could feel afraid of.

To me using someone else's health or cognitive disfunction in order to get political advantage is a very low end when comes to politics. It would have been frown upon a few decades in the past, just another signal on how politics have devolved and turned into a circus.

Ironically enough, Trump himself has committed some mistakes in lastest speeches, messing up names of presidents and mixing up Obama with Hillary Clinton. Hope someday we can see younger people in charge.

From an objective point of view, the Democratic Party should have taken this factor into consideration when selecting its presidential candidate. It is true that the presidential law allows candidates to be of advanced age, but it does not take into account the health condition that elderly people may fall into after years of sitting in the presidential chair. Today, after confirming the deteriorating health condition of the president, it is certain that there is someone managing the affairs of the presidency behind the scenes, so the president is just a puppet who carries out what they dictate to him.

The same thing must be taken into consideration by Republicans if they intend to play the card of the president's health condition, because it would not be reasonable to replace a president who is incapable of health with another president in a similar condition.

I personally do not agree with calling him a puppet, I still believe he has willpower over his actions and thoughts, though he definitely could be getting help from aides and honestly, a president getting help from aides and the party should not be a negative thing nowadays. But since health has become a talking point in politics, sadly a new stigma has been born out of it.

Ideally, people won't see the age of a president to attack him, but just wish him good, a speedy recovery and only focus on the political standings. Trump is already introducing mocking people appearance and weight into politics, so I would not be surprised (but sad) if in 5 years, mocking others body became politically correct in America

As a neutral American citizen, I will wish my president the best of health regardless of my ideological beliefs. But the president must be in good health, so I wish that for him, and if a health defect occurs that leads to a defect in his performance of his duties, then I should be worried. This point of view has nothing to do with political positions, but the best interest of the state requires it.

On this same basis, we cannot blame the opposition if it exploits the president’s health condition as a pressure card, especially since the elections are approaching. The same thing could become the opposite, and the Democrats will not hesitate to bet on all possible cards to win. This is politics, it is the "art of the possible."

As you said the "art of the possible". Well I wish him good health but I would want to prefer a much younger person with good reputation, competence and capacity to govern the people.

This story is absolutely insane… I don’t think people are zooming out enough to see just how insane this Biden administration has been. The fact there are so many stories like this in the news and people are worried about Ukraine is absolutely mind blowing to me.

This is actually what any rational person who thinks about who is qualified to lead a country the size of the United States would hope for. But the process of selecting presidents is always subject to political logic that is promoted in a populist manner through media channels targeting simple minds. According to the US presidential candidacy laws, it is important for the candidate to be in good health, as confirmed by medical experts, but there is no guarantee that he will remain in the best of health over time, especially if he is old at the time of his candidacy.
