Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

As much as people like you claim it, there's no actual evidence that Biden has dementia. And Trump is only three years younger than him if it's just about age.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
Trump just doesn't seem like he has dimentia because his memory and intelligence has always been horrible, though his speech patterns and word selection are what we'd use to convince anyone we cared about they should at minimum be in some kind of special care
There's no "proof" but you can see from his public speeches that he's losing it. Trump at least shows mental clarity although he's quite old as well.
Mental clarity! Lol. You've never heard the guy speak before?
You can see in his eyes that he knows where he is, what he's being asked, and is thinking up a bullshit answer. No signs of dementia whatsoever.
Neither of them have dementia.
Parroting catch phrases from fox bobbleheads just makes you sound stupid.
We will see.
A speech impediment is not a sign of dementia.
Yeah, I hate to break this to ya, but if you've "seen" Biden's public speeches from twenty years ago, you'd see he still had a speech impediment - one he's had his entire life and spent a lot of work to control. As someone else who has trouble speaking in public, props to him for rising above it.
And the sad part? People are literally mocking his speech impediment to make it seem like he has dementia when they know the truth - that's like making fun of someone for being stuck in a wheelchair. But once again, it shows the class of the people we're dealing with.

But let me guess, mocking an orange clown for the makeup they choose to smear on daily would be considered "crossing the line" to you, right?
It's not a speech impediment, it's him clearly forgetting the most basic things. Often he can't even read from the teleprompter properly, gets lost in public venues, keeps tripping over. I feel sorry for him, it's elder abuse what he's going through.
And I've got news for you, Biden is smearing the same orange paint on himself as Trump is, it's what they do to look less gray and old.
"The orange man is back"

Believe it or not, you can't diagnose dementia from public speeches.
