Joe Biden, the nominal head of the Democratic Party, is 79. But he increasingly acts and sounds 89.
Recently, Biden has pivoted repeatedly on stage with his arm outstretched to shake the hand—of someone not there.
On one recent occasion Biden called out for Representative Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) who passed away in a car crash in early August. He was insistent, shouting to the crowd, “Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie? I think she wasn’t going to be here—to help make this a reality.”
Biden’s fantasy was the reality that Rep. Walorski is no longer with us.
Biden slurs his words. He truncates sentences.

As an 89 year old I deeply resent this slur.

Being just shy of 89, I can assure VDH that there are a whole lot of us here whose cognitive skills are intact and firing on all cylinders.

BTW, BiteMe CAN see who he is reaching for. He owes his soul to Satan who is so far just out of reach.

Yesterday I posted an essay by Dr. Neil Frank, who is 91 and very sharp. My own stepfather is 92, and he shows no signs of age related mental impairment. No one is immune to effects of aging, but lots of folks keep all their marbles for life.
As bad as the Democrat geriatrics running the party are, the younger party pols are far worse. Che Guevara had nothing on them. They want to outdo Castro's favorite executioner. That's why the party clings to their superannuated corruptocrats. Any political party that would put the likes of Josef Stolen and Heel Up Harris in titular power must be abandoned by Americans. Then prosecute. Enemy action.

It surprises me that someone as generally wise and knowledgable as VDH does not seem to be able to wrap his mind around the fact that the Left is not "stupid, " not "liars," not "evil" but simply apply Occam's Razor to arrive at the very simplest of solutions that they are M-E-N-T-A-L-L-Y I-L-L. QED!

Have been watching Bidet for decades. He used to be middle aged and dumb. Now he is old and dumb. He is also mean as a snake, a congenitial liar, a crook, a bully, a pervert, and the south end of a north bound horse. Don't accept the age excuse. He is and has always been a Grade A creep.

VDH isn’t the only one positing that Democrats are deliberately choosing impaired candidates: Check this out as well:

Of course, Joe is unfit for the office in many ways and cognitively is only one. It’s easier for the cabal to keep Joe right where he is than replace him. They know they can control him with the perks of the job. He loves the attention and everything that comes with the job, the secret service, the bowing and scraping by his fans, and the rides he takes on AFI, the beast, and Marine I. He also enjoys the opportunity to play the big guy, the one you don’t cross. The fact he is clearly mentally impaired doesn’t bother his handlers. He is easy to placate and keep in line.
Biden has always been an ignorant bully and braggart and he is not going to change. Obama explained in an interview that his dream would be to sit in a basement somewhere and run the show from there with a puppet in the Oval Office who would do his bidding. It looks like his dream has come true. A monster and his minions are remotely controlling an incompetent puppet.

Joe Biden was a low IQ ignoramus five decades ago when he arrived in Washington, age has nothing to do with it. Biden's brain never was ripe with knowledge. A loudmouth braggart, liar, a thief, a do-nothing his entire life. Don't give an 89-year-old a bad rap for the likes of fraud Joe Biden VDH Biden is in a league of his own making.

Biden definitely appears and acts older than his age. It's not just mental. He walks with tiny steps and often needs Jill to support him. He once joked about not running because he would need a walker by then. He was right for once! But VDH is also right that the "younger" generation--Harris--may even be worse. What's really sad is that a more astute politician could have just continued Trump's policies, claiming them as his own, and we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. I hope the midterms turn out as we have hoped. Pelosi must go. She is a national embarrassment. But if the Republicans retake the Senate, I would like to see a change of leadership there, too. McConnell has done some good things like not calling a vote on Garland and getting Barrett confirmed but he is not fully on board with what the mainstream of his party wants. In a divided Senate, we need someone who won't back down.

Ditto poster #1...I'm up there...age/wise...but function on my own...not as sharp as I was when I ran my own company and met a monthly nut...but not bad for an ole lady....so when I see ole Joe stumbling and fumbling I'm angry at Jill...she's his caretaker and throwing him to the democratic cabal in the White House makes me dislike her and her motives....she's making her husband the source of ridicule and jokes...for what???...a ride on Air Force One???

I propose new titles for our president and first lady:
instead of 'potus and flotus' they should be 'Potage and Flatus.'
As for Fetterman, how about 'Uncle Festus?'

Biden's problem is not his age; it is just he is an imbecile and is surrounded by idiots. Don't belittle because of his age.

It's not the age VDH, it's Biden who is evil, corrupt and mean to the bone. Clint Eastwood is 92 and I'd rather have him as president, than this old coot who thinks he sees dead people!

At 64 years of age and I'm fighting ageism in the workplace market. I can't seem to get hired by Burger King!
Can I have a government job?

evil marxists have no Heaven to go to:
no God no family no values but power ,,,power to harm and steal w/o mercy-esp the lifeblood of children.
look at the pervie predatory kkklintoons, look at castro being told by the santaria priests that he needed Elian to live on.
they must however, be surrounded by thugs-- b/c they do get stupid and wasted and fearful of how much they're hated.
