BLA + 1,666 BB July 6, 2020 (edited) EXECUTIVE ORDER #1 (1) Due to Coronavirus Apocalypse the Presidential election will be rescheduled until November 2021. EXECUTIVE ORDER # 2 (2) All Presidential Candidates shall successfully complete the Montreal Cognitive Test before their name is placed on the ballot. Sources say Nancy Pelosi has instructed Congressmen Schiff to commence a second impeachment. I knew he would try this. DNC MUST replace Biden now while we can.

Grumpy Pants + 35 JL July 6, 2020 Hah. Have you ever administered a Moca? Are you aware that part of the test is to name animals that are pictured? These old men might be slipping with age, but I don't think either of them would have trouble "passing" a MoCa. Lets be reasonable here. Trump is an clown, but not necessarily an idiot. He continues to make seemingly idiotic decisions but I suspect he would still measure up just fine on an intelligence scale. A MoCa doesn't test for mania or delusional behaviors. Biden is old, clearly slowing with age, and perhaps hasn't been the sharpest of men for quite some time now. He's a poor candidate. That said, I'm confident he'd pass a Moca no problem. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a fan of mail-in ballots, but if the justification was covid fears then that would be the route to go. Just have elections like normal: if everyone can go to work, church, riots, and rallies I can't see why one-at-a-time in a ballot box posses any problem.

frankfurter + 562 ff July 7, 2020 (edited) The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a one-page, 30-point test that takes about 10 minutes, and doesn’t require the doctor to have any special training. Could Biden pass this? Today, likely. But I see signs his dementia is advancing rather quickly. Pass by the time of election? It's anybody's guess at this time. Will his dementia continue to advance during his term? Definitely. That is the key point. https://www.verywellhealth.com/alzheimers-and-montreal-cognitive-assessment-moca-98617 Edited July 7, 2020 by frankfurter 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily there were no major national security issues to deal with. Biden is showing signs of dementia NOW before he is even elected. The Presidency is a high stress 24/7 job. It turns your hair grey. Literally. The stress will only worsen his condition. This is going to be a major campaign issue. The Zogby Analytics June 2nd poll showed 55% of likely voters believe Biden is experiencing early onset of dementia. Then 20% of Democrats admit the same. That 20% probably doubles if the Party were honest in the poll. The Party can change now. If Biden is the candidate he will lose. Is the DNC afraid Bernie will claim the nomination ? Only explanation is the DNC wants to him to nominated him, pick a VP for him to their liking and then he resigns. The DNC get there hand picked candidate. That would be risky. DNC should act now. Spare Joe the embarrassment . Spare the Party. Spare the country. Edited July 7, 2020 by BLA 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some Democrats like me are worried the Party will nominate Joe when it's clear to any thinking person that Joe has dementia. First it will be a major weapon against Joe in the campaign.

Gerry Maddoux + 3,627 GM July 7, 2020 ^ All good points. But at some point the man has to "come out of the basement" and actually field questions. Real questions. Without a teleprompter. The man is surrounded by handlers, coaches, advisers--not literally but figuratively. I'd have to bet that he's on Zoom several hours a day, being fed tidbits of information that he will be expected to know, some of which have changed since he was VP. Surely these people would be aware of a serious cognitive dysfunction and surely someone would alert someone in the DNC that disaster was coming. I have watched him and arrived at the same conclusions as those above but what if the man has interruption of fluency of speech due to getting his two aneurysms clipped by going through brain tissue? And is cognitively sound. Functional MRI scanning is really a pretty good test for the objective diagnosis of Alzheimer's or Pick's or Lewy Body. If he is as bad off as he seems on TV, his scan would be abnormal. I would imagine that he has yearly MRI's to detect any new aneurysms, and I would imagine that they are distinctly abnormal from his prior surgery, but what about the areas affected first by Alzheimer's? That's what needs to be looked at. You're right: President Reagan got worse and worse during the last year or so of his presidency. In The President's Club, members of his cabinet and the VP met him early in the morning to give him an impromptu quiz (to reluctantly remove him via Article 25, Section IV: 13 people, the Cabinet and the VP have to agree). Reagan was said (on that day) to be "as bright as a new penny." If the DNC is trying to pull a fast one by running a demented person to become removed so a VP chosen by a politburo can take the country in wild new directions that the country didn't exactly want, then it will wreck the country and create a firestorm. This country can take only so many firestorms. We are approaching some sort of Hayflick limit of the telomeres of the U.S., as it is. Surely some brave soldier--or his wife or sister--would step up if he were in "bad shape." But these are unusual times. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely some brave soldier--or his wife or sister--would step up if he were in "bad shape." But these are unusual times. This guy has been known for most of his career as a gaffe machine. I think that's already baked in to people's knowledge about him. It's been pointed out in his previous presidential runs, when he was many decades younger, as well. I think, given his long history with such problems, that causally, it likely stems from his stuttering problem: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/01/joe-biden-stutter-profile/602401/ The fact that he's been able to achieve so much success despite that type of problem should be inspiring to anyone with similar types of issues. Of course, the campaign will try to ameliorate any issues with a combination of teleprompting, canned stump speeches, etc. This is not unique to Biden; Trump's campaign will (try) to do the same thing with Trump. Midterm presidential elections are almost always a referendum on the incumbent, so how passive or active Biden needs to be depends on the public perception of Trump, which at least recently, has not been very strong, at least with the tiny portion of the electorate that matter in swing states. Plenty of time left though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is really, really hard to fake it if you have Alzheimer's. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orange County, in a largely Republican stronghold lost five congressmen this last election. One woman was ahead by 10 points with 98% of precincts reporting and for the next month votes kept coming in, until she lost, then magically they stopped. Pure unadulterated fraud, but when the feds came in to investigate California gave them the middle finger. Washington State, five recounts until Gregoire beat Rossi, pure unadulterated fraud. They found thousands of blank ballots in City Hall Seattle, their excuse was, "Maybe a homeless person will stumble in and we'll need to give him a ballot". Criminal, but of course with all Demoncrats in charge, no chance in hell of an investigation, let alone prosecution. Democracy only works because people believe they have a voice. Once that canard is removed, watch out. This may well be the election when the brown stinky stuff hits the fast spinning object. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
