Re Sleepy Joe on flip phone:
I think it is possible that they made him use a flip phone instead of a smart phone so that any gaffes couldn’t be recorded. He seemed unfamiliar with the phone...
But his reactions to his own uncertainties make me think he really is impaired. He seemed tentative and dependent. In my experience, those are indicators of dementia.
I also noted all the young women around him seem quite comfortable with his ineptitude. His babysitters.
We need some Joe and His Babysitters memes.

“But his reactions to his own uncertainties make me think he really is impaired. He seemed tentative and dependent. In my experience, those are indicators of dementia.”
To me, a really telling moment came when BLM protestors took over the stage where Biden was speaking. He seemed confused, and his wife repeated several times: “It’s OK, Joe.” Those are words one might use with a child.
