Perhaps.

Perhaps its just to muddy the waters so much that there is no clear Presidential victor, while the down ticket elects Senators and Representatives.

With a full duly elected congress and, as 20th Amendment says, “the terms of the president and vice president shall end at noon” on January 20, the presidency automatically devolves to the next in line, Speaker of the House.

The rest is left to the reader as an exercise...

My dad bowled with us, his 3 sons, weekly. Most of the guys didn’t know dad was having issues because he could still bs with the best, and they thought he was joking. He did get a severe startle response, and sometimes just speaking could give him a quick moment of alarm. Joe is all that and more.

people who just saw that (and aren’t paying attention) will think it is a lie that he has dementia.”

Yes and that is that strategy. He obviously can still read and follow a teleprompter with a prepared script. Three days in a row now there has been a press function and MSM lets them get way with no questions. Is this sustainable for three months? Maybe.

IF Biden is elected, The Jamaican-Indian empty pantsuit will assume his role before July 4, 2021. IF the Dhimmicrats win in November, there WILL BE no USA in fifty years, perhaps as little as 25! The world will be heading for a dark age that will make ANYTHING we have seen in the past, look absolutely glorious.

That’s why they so severely limit his public exposure. They whisk him away to a tiny gathering of media toadies and 5 or 6 selected guests where he reads a prepared speech for 10 minutes, then he’s whisked back to his basement where he recuperates for another week.

If he can only take one tiny event per week, his condition must be far worse than most people realize.

“What is going on with Joe out of public view?”

A lot of drooling and diaper changes. Napping. Frustration and angry lashing out on his part. Childlike wonder. Memories that never really happened. Medications to calm him down. Nightmares of falling. Asking the same question (that has no answer) over and over and over again. Also, daily phone calls: “WHEN are you coming to get me? I WANT TO GO HOME!”

Been there. Done that. Miss ya, Dad! :(

The Biden family should be ASHAMED of themselves. What a bunch of self-serving cretins. (Joe included in this case!)

Joe was much better than I expected when he had the Kamala introduction a few days ago. Much better. Not sure how they did it,

Hillary was a train wreck most of the time during the 2016 election. Her handlers were able to make her presentable when it counted like debating Trump. She wasn't capable of campaigning 24/7 and needed plenty of down time. I think Hillary's handlers had a lot more to work with than Joe's handlers now.

The American people have gotten stupid, but I hope not stupid enough to elect this fool.

Put on your democrat hat for a few moments (you can shave your head and shower with sheep dip when we're done here).

Who would you rather have as president? A harmless old fool, or a cunning, Machiavellian, evil Orange Man Bad?

That happens a dozen times a day here. *sigh*

I live next door to an 82-year-old man who lives by himself name Jack. Very nice guy but his short-term memory skills are poor. I let him know what day it is every day because we have quarantine restrictions where we can’t go into town on weekends. Later that day, he’ll ask me to remind him what day it is. He has a clock on the wall that shows him the day and date but he never looks there although he looks to see the time.

It seems once a week I am fixing something about his tv, his cell phone or his laptop computer because he hit or clicked the wrong thing and now it won’t work.

There are days when he thinks the lockdown is over a hurricane, not a pandemic.

Then there are the harmless moments when he explains a photo on his wall he’s explained to me dozens of times before.

On Thursday, he was frantically searching through his golf bag for money because he forgot the code for his debit card. I decided to go to the ATM with him and followed the prompts. He got his money and was amazed at how easy it was with me giving him the answers.

The thought of a person with that type of memory loss holding the most powerful job in the world should frighten everyone. Do you trust the unelected people like Valerie Jarrett or Eric Holder running the country for him?

That’s why even some liberals say they’ll vote for Trump. They say this privately, for the most part, but they understand the danger of voting for Biden. Since women seem to get the lion’s share of caregiving for the elderly, I think they are probably more sensitive to this danger and these are the people the media are desperately hiding Joe from.

Perhaps. But there is also the possibility that they know that unless a small miracle occurs Joe will not be elected. If so, they want to pair him with someone they don’t want in power so that when Biden is defeated she will be rightly tarred as a loser and lose long term influence in the party.

lol.

Yes of course democrats will always vote for the worst available moron, but they always need around 10%+ of the sheep in the muddled middle.

Stupidity knows no bounds lately, but I don't think they get there - this time - with riots and a senile candidate.

At least I hope not.
