Biden gaffes

I'm surprised that none of you right-wing folks are posting more about the more recent Biden gaffes. Sure, stress is probably a factor here, but I am someone on the left and starting to feel concerned. The man is approaching 80. I've lost grandparents to dementia, have parents approaching 80, and have seen colleagues decline. The reality is few people maintain their full mental capacities after that age. It was obvious with Reagan, is obvious with Trump, and obvious with Joe Biden. It's sad to watch.

I'm actually expecting Biden to step down sometime in the next 6 months. My guess is the democrat leadership already has a plan.

@boudinMan I'm not so sure about that. As long as the person is capable of basic cognitive function, weighing options, making decisions, I think political positions are secondary. My issues with Trump were less about his political positions but his ability to make rational decisions.

@trollslayer and yet he never got us anywhere near a nuclear confrontation despite protestations from the left.

@boudinMan I'll admit that Kamala Harris has been a disappointment as VP to date. But I don't think she was ready to rush onto the national stage or into a role where your power is more through influence and coercion than direct action. Having witnessed her rise from prosecutor to DA to Attorney General, I've always been impressed with her pragmatic progressiveness, but in those roles she had hands-on direct control. She was barely getting used to being a Senator with only persuasive power and a single vote when she rushed on to the national stage in her primary run for President. Like many a rookie, she may just need to get her "sea legs" in a totally different role than she ever played before. Most people thought Harry Truman would never be up to being a successor President when FDR picked him as VP either.

@boudinMan Putin seems to be flying under the radar quite well despite being the sole reason for the nuclear confrontation….
