President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

Did heard him speak and you're still asking about his cognition?  Let's pretend that Trump were a priest - he's STILL mentally incompetent to run any country that I'd want to live in.  Didn't you have a psych rotation?

What mental illness does Trump have? You had a psych rotation right? 

Narcissistic? 

A Narcissist is still more competent than someone in cognitive decline.

No, they probably didn't have a psych rotation.  They can't differentiate normal aging from mental illness from a progressive dementia.  They simply repeat flat right wing rhetoric hoping that we identify with Biden in the same way the cult identifies with Trump. 

Bidens cognition is not normal age related cognitive decline. 

Even if it was, his cognition is of a 81 year old man. Not fit to for the POTUS. 

You just admitted Biden has age related cognitive change.

What are you basing your cognition assumption on? Cherry-picked video snippets?

And you just stated that an 81 year old man is not fit to be POTUS. Trump will be 81 in approx. 2 years.

Come on, you do not sense any urgency or nervousness from  democrats and left media? 

They are in full "Trump is Hitler" and if you vote for him, so are ypu  mode. LOL. 

I didn't say that.  I was asking about it and wanting to investigate it further.  

I was saying they aren't in freak out mode over what De Niro said, and surely you've heard the "Trump is Hitler" and if you support Trump you support racism, transphobia, etc. long before now.  It's' been Trump's critics m.o. for a long time now.  

As we get closer to the election clearly you're going to be seeing more aggressive campaigning.  I guess it's a matter of opinion whether it's "Dems in freakout mode" or not.  I find it click bait that might make people feel better.  

I will say I'm not a consumer of "left media" so I might be missing it unless you mean all media since most of it supposedly is "left media" except Fox News, et al.  
I will also say that yes, as the election becomes closer I do feel a sense of urgency.  To me it's urgent that Trump not win back the Presidency (through Democracy of course).  There is a very real possibility to that Trump will win and that instills in me a sense of urgency, so I imagine it does in Democratic leaders.  Obviously the right will exploit and enjoy the idea that "Dems are in freak out mode".

In your opinion. You are always welcome to your opinions.  Unfortunately, your opinions about Biden are fed by right wing BS rather than any kind of assessment of behavior. Biden's actual public speaking and presidential conduct and accomplishments reveal the argument as a hyperbolic story.  Trump's team is good at misrepresenting reality.  You clearly are no expert on behavioral health observations.  

Of course Biden has age related cognitive changes. He's old. It's sad that you don't know the differences between dementia changes and normal aging.

Sure. Sure.  You can go ahead and pretend like we would need to guess. 

It's a shame that you don't know what you don't know.  

Fortunately, we have well trained psychiatrists who are expert in recognizing mental illness and we don't need to rely upon the feelings of Trump supporters.  We can observe Trump's increasingly abnormal behavior and we can review the assessments of experts.

Most of America hasn't had a psych rotation.  

But, many of us can see that like many his age, Biden has significant cognitive decline.  I believe it is age-related, but what does that matter?

Bandy Lee certainly has benefitted career wise from Trump, hasn't she?  Writing a book and making the rounds in liberal media for the last 8 years .

Now she's even emboldened to share her expertise on legal matters that have nothing to do with psychiatry.  Such as her tweet yesterday that Judge Cannon, based on a ruling, should be declared unfit to serve.

They will exploit eachother unfortunately.  

As for the media, I never believe anything from either sides. 

Trump says some off color things that I do not appreciate and he really gives the left allot to work with due to how he speaks. I do not think he is racist. There are many things Biden has said past and present that could be considered racist. So the exploitation continues  .. 

I remember a time when people accepted eachothers differences.

81 year old with marked cognitive change in the least. Some have more than others. 

I could state my credentials but these threads prove that attacking credentials is common practice. 

So I will say it as a regular person. I see it with my own eyes. Yes from videos but not just snippets. 

I tend not to just view cut videos. As both right and left like to cherry pick.

Right. These "experts" have treated Trump? They have access to his full medical records? They interviewd him? Pleeeeeese. We all know even Dr are bias and partisan.  Especially when power and money is involved. 

So don't guess, what mental illness does he have?

2 years, several truckloads of Big Macs, jumbo bags of Doritos, yes please do Cheese Up my Emergency Pizza and where is my Soda Valet?

Honestly, I don't play golf, but if you ride in a golf cart from one hole to the next with the goal of taking as few steps as possible, is it really exercise?

I guess I'm a little tired of hearing people say Biden is feeble and a weakling because he doesn't wear a jacket that is lined with enough foam rubber in the shoulders to balance his dangerous and unhealthy belly fat.

Lord help me, there are times when I wish Biden would use a little spray tan here and there, People tend to associate pallor with unhealthiness.
