Doc: Dem frontrunner definitely doesn't have brain damage
Something is happening behind the scenes within the Democratic Party. Former Vice President Joe Biden remains the prohibitive favorite to win the nomination, even as he continues to commit word gaffes with his mouth.
Many still consider Biden to be the most "electable" candidate, but some Democrats, including some of his own aides and supporters, are beginning to express doubts about the 76-year-old's intellectual capacity.
It would appear that the Democratic establishment, in its desperation to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning the nomination, is keen to develop a contingency plan in case Biden falters.
Team Biden is on the defensive, and has even wheeled out the former Veep's brain surgeon to reassure skeptics that he's totally fine and definitely doesn't have brain damage. It's not the most reassuring claim to have to make about a presidential candidate, but here we are. Politico reports:
The two brain aneurysms Biden suffered in 1988 were fully treated and he showed no signs of mental trouble as a result, said Dr. Neal Kassell, who performed the surgery on Biden three decades ago. Nor did Biden suffer any brain damage that could come back to haunt him in old age, Kassell said.
"He is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I havent seen any change," Kassell said. "I can tell you with absolute certainty that he had no brain damage, either from the hemorrhage or from the operations that he had. There was no damage whatsoever."
Kassell went on to say that he planned to vote for "the candidate who I am absolutely certain has a brain that is functioning. And that narrows it down exactly to one." It is assumed, but not entirely clear, that he was referring to Biden.
Nevertheless, Biden allies remain wary and are said to be considering a scaled-back campaign schedule in an effort to limit the candidate's gaffes, which risk undermining his new campaign slogan about the country's need for "strong, steady, stable leadership."

Seriously
It’s not just the Dems. They’re the worst right now. But fifty years from now, when the late, great POTUS Donald J. Trump has his face on the million dollar bill (inflation) and both his face and ass on Mt. Rushmore (the latter at the foot of the hill, so CNN anchors can kiss it in penance for assassinating him), the Republicans will be the party of sanctimony and fake righteous indignation covering corruption. These things go in cycles, and entrenched power always corrupts. Why TJ said “heaven help us if we do not have a revolution every 20 years.”
“...Former VP Has a Brain That Is Functioning...”
Yup. He got it from Marty Feldman and Gene Wilder.
And that brain had a name: “Abby”....
“I can tell you with absolute certainty that he had no brain damage, either from the hemorrhage or from the operations that he had. There was no damage whatsoever.”
There was no brain to damage.
If it reaches the point where “You have to ask” ... it’s past the point where you ‘need to ask’ ...
re: “He is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I havent seen any change,”
So, no further maturing ...
I’d like a second opinion.
I am not a crook!
I am not a liar!
Trust me!
I didn’t have sex with that woman!
I don’t have brain damage!
True.
Its not just dems.
“He is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I havent seen any change,” Kassell said. “I can tell you with absolute certainty that he had no brain damage”
Well now Doc., let’s see your financials, not that we don’t believe you.
How about 7 Eleven Joe? Or, to go after a much larger offendable group, what about Clean and articulate Joe? That one has the dual benefit of reminding voters, particularly black voters, of Joes patronizing description of Obama, while also making an ironic statement about his own mental acuity.
When I read this headline, I thought it was written by the Babylon Bee.
Anyone check the doc to see if he has one that functions?
Abby Normal

“His Doctor Insists Former VP Has a Brain That is Functioning”
IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN
(by Cowardly Lyin’ Uncle Joe)
I could while away the hours
Rent a suite at some Trump Towers
Where I could sniff the housemaid’s mane
With the thoughts that I’ve been thinkin’
I could be another Lincoln
I would not be just a nuffin’
But, alas...my head is full of stuffin’
And my aides are full of pain
My head I keep on scratchin’
To help some brilliant thoughts start hatchin’
But my mem’rys down the drain
And my gaffes spout out like rain
I’m a snail in life’s fast lane
Where DID I put my cane....
Oh, If I only had a brain !
If I ONLY had a brain !
Leni
Positively brilliant, lol. Ever so clever.
Dr. Kassell, where did you get your degree? From Corinthian College? I need another opinion on him...
LOL!
Reading between the lines...Biden has a brain that is "functioning". He's the "same as he was back then" (31 years ago). Hardly an endorsement. I think this guy is voting for Trump.
