You can count on Canadian researchers to build a calculator that can predict your chances of developing dementia.

Researchers at the Ottawa Hospital, the University of Ottawa, the Bruyère Research Institute and ICES developed an online calculator empowering people over 55 to understand how they can reduce the risk of being diagnosed with dementia in the next five years.

This is the first tool designed to predict dementia, which refers to loss of memory and other thinking abilities that interferes with daily life, on a population level.

Four years ago my mom was fine or appeared to be. Then dementia and totally unable to care for herself. She died last year. During the campaign, I knew what was wrong with Joe Biden. I saw it everyday. It is horrible.

Frankly it really isn't a concern to the administration what the public thinks about Joe.....they're perfectly happy to keep people occupied with his antics and gaffs etc. so they can operate behind the scenes with zero accountablility..

“Mine says 0% chance of developing dementia in the next five years. “

It’s planned. Once they eject Joe for “mental health” issues they’ll go full socialist with Harris and have precedent to go after the next Republican.

My crystal ball seems to hazier than lots of folks here, but this plan seems obvious.

In Californicator land, to determine the tip, you just double the sales tax.

It's just a simple algorithm based on the answers to a few questions, a "yes" to any one of which indicating you're doooooomed. Simple questions such as:

-- Are you now or have you ever been a member of the commu ... I mean Democrat Party?

-- Do you beieve in racism ... I mean, critical race theory?

-- Is your name "Joe Biden" or any of its variations such as "Slo-Jo" or "China-Joe"?

But what if Joe (or more likely Jill) doesn’t want to go? If a President objects to being removed it takes a 2/3rds vote in both houses of Congress to make it stick.

Thanks! I didn't know that, did the research.

” I don’t want to seem like I am mocking people with battlefield PTSD, but watching Joe gives me flashbacks to bad times working with my mom and mother in law when they were failing.”
You are not mocking or making light of anyone’s problems. Sometimes, speaking from experience, we will downplay our specific issue as it seems petty compared with others, BUT TO US it is not.
