Biden's Brain Is Swiss Cheese And It's Creepy That We're Not Talking About It

I didn’t watch the last Democratic presidential primary debates because I figured that without Tulsi Gabbard in there shaking things up it would be a boring, vapid parade of insubstantial verbal foam, and I love myself too much to go through such a horrible ordeal. By all accounts my prediction was correct, but I did miss one thing that’s been making the rounds in video clips for the last couple of days which I find absolutely bizarre.

[Snip]

Most of you have probably heard about Biden’s infamous "record player" comment by now, but for those of you who missed it, Biden was asked by debate moderator Linsey Davis to defend some comments he made about America's problems with racism in the 1970s, and he responded by essentially saying that Black people don’t know how to raise their kids so they need to be taught how by social workers. Biden has been receiving mainstream criticism for his racist and paternalistic position, along with plenty of mockery for saying that parents need to be told to "make sure you have the record player on at night" so that kids hear enough words in early childhood.

It is pretty clear that Biden was trying to communicate an idea that is premised on a deeply racist and condescending worldview, so it’s to be expected that people would want to talk about that. It’s also to be expected that people would be making jokes about how the cute old man said “record player” like a grandpa. But what isn’t being discussed nearly enough is the fact that what Biden said was also a barely coherent, garbled word salad stumbling out of a brain that is clearly being eaten alive by a very serious neurological disease.

I’ve typed out a transcript of what Biden actually said, verbatim. There are no typos. I’ve also noted where Biden closes his eyes, probably to concentrate, which he does whenever he seems to be struggling especially hard to string words together. Try to read through it slowly, word-for-word, resisting the instinct to mentally re-frame it into something more coherent:

"Well they have to deal with the -- Look, there is institutional segregation in this country. And from the time I got involved I started dealing with that. Redlining. Banks. Making sure that we’re in a position where -- Look, talk about education. I propose that what we take is those very poor schools, the Title 1 schools, triple the amount of money we spend from 15 to 45 billion a year. Give every single teacher a raise that equal [closes eyes] raise to getting out -- the sixty-thousand dollar level.

"Number two: make sure that we bring into the help the -- [closes eyes] the student, the, the teachers deal with the problems that come from home. The problems that come from home. We need -- We have one school psychologist for every fifteen hundred kids in America today. It’s crazy. The teachers are reca -- Now, I'm married to a teacher. My deceased wife is a teacher. They have every problem coming to them. [Closes eyes briefly] We have make sure that every single child does in fact have three, four, and five year-olds go to school -- school, not daycare. School. We bring social workers into homes of parents to help them deal with how to raise their children. It’s not that they don’t wanna help, they don't want -- they don't know quite what to do. Play the radio, make sure the television, [closes eyes tightly] the -- 'scuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night, the-the-the-the phone, make sure the kids hear words. A kid coming from a very poor school, [closes eyes] a very poor background, will hear four million words fewer spoken by the time they get there."

Notice how it gets more garbled the longer he speaks. The response I transcribed was about eighty seconds in length. That was just one small part of a debate in which the former vice president performed no better and forgot three of his fellow candidates' names.

[Snip]

Contrast the difference between Biden’s younger footage and what was seen at the last debate with footage of Bernie Sanders throughout the decades, who has remained virtually identical save for appearance and hoarseness. Age does not account for this difference. Biden’s brain is dying.

AMEN!
The democrats and the deep state don’t care WHO gets the nomination. All they need is someone who doesn’t think, just reads the prepared teleprompter, smiles, then walks away from the podium and takes NO questions from anyone.

Biden’s brain surgeon just said last month that Biden’s brain is “functional”.

A Clintonesque answer. "Functional" just means Biden remains able to move around and speak. It does NOT mean he is able to function as a senior executive.

Also, did the statement come directly from the doctor? Or from Biden's campaign office saying what the doctor said?

If the Biden camp said he's fine, under HIPPA rules would the doctor even be allowed to say "That's not what I said".

It's worse. The only way a Biden/Hillary ticket can win is if Trump is eliminated.

Pray for Trump. Pray for the USSS, that their vision be clear, their reflexes swift, and their aim true.

Pray HARD!

Nothing creepy about Joe Biden. He's the hands-on leader for the net generation.

I've worked in three nursing homes. Joe is typical of what I've seen as the brain begins to deteriorate. It becomes like a movie projector running scenes of life out of sync and time. It's sad.

Clearly, I wonder how his wife and his staff can allow him to proceed.
