Joe Biden was running things. Prostate cancer would not interfere with that.
Indeed. When Markk gets prostate cancer, may it never happen, it will probably sharpen his mental faculties.
kishkumen, your other thread explained for those who forget that a good president surrounds himself with the best help. With that help a mentally declining Biden could do a good job and to my view did.

Yes to try to continue a second term appears much to have been an error.

Okay you guys, take a break for 5 seconds and watch this. It's a video short. I want people in government who are comfortable in their own skin. Here's a few...watch closely.

Not a derail. Just a little breather.

Huck, I respect most of your takes and you along with Dr Steuss often challenge my thoughts, but come on. They guy had no idea what was going on. I saw it, the right saw it in 2020. Now all of a sudden the books are coming out, and folks are now being truthful in what was going on. This again is not going to get better.

Here is his help

Biden, even with diminished faculties, is a thousand times better President than Trump on his best day.

So who damned cares? Who thinks Biden having cancer has any political significance at all? Only morons.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

Old people get older, Markk. Eventually, they even die. This should not be surprising to you.

Watching that debate was a bit shocking, in how badly Biden sounded, and how he still managed to make more sense than Trump in that condition. Consistently.

Yes, but it is sad to have a rapidly spreading cancer, and using that to make some inane political point is rather cruel and tasteless.

Lol, yes we do, and as we get old people have take care of us more and more and make decisions for us. Things like paying our bills, driving, opening hard plastic wrappings, remembering our address, and other minor day day challenges like running the United States and the the free world, and managing our family members that carry a device with codes that can destroy the world a few times over.

It is perfectly acceptable for those that take care of us lie to the the folks that put their trust and hopes into us and tell us we have never been more coherent and are as sharp as a tac. And it is okay for those that take care of us to make life decisions and sign our name on documents as if it were us making these tough life decisions. And when we are out with our grand kids play in the yard with them, it is perfectly fine for our care takers to dress up like the easter bunny to direct us and watch over us to make sure we do not say something silly or incorrect to our neighbors that might embarrass ourselves or our family.

It is also fine and acceptable that when we send out our holiday videos to our friends and family that our care givers give us cue cards to read a message of cheer to them. Generally when our care givers do this they use several cameras so they can edit the final video in order to help our extended family and friends see a crisp, youthful version of ourself, and not one of us wondering around aimlessly.

Then after all this, and it becomes more than evident to our loved ones that we have not been that spry, energetic us, that they just through us in a home and write books about us of how messed up we really were and how shocking it was for those that did know but could not say so....yes cakes, you are correct, old people do get older and yes die. I am glad you figured this out in these past few weeks.

I will leave you with this, it is also really cool as we loose our faculties, and we have a better than expected moment, our spouse gives us encouragements like this great example....

So those that were close to Joe, and writing these books about Joe and is health, knew he had cancer all along? This is going to be an interesting few months watching folks die on this hill.

I know you never have much to offer here beyond your drive by comments, but how long has Joe had this rapidly spreading cancer? Like those that are now turning on him, did you see a sharp as a tac Biden in his presidency? When did, if at all, did you start seeing his health failing?

I love your consistency Schmo, at least unlike those who were close to Biden that were defending him, you are still hanging in there. I do see a new line of talking points developing, it seems to be that his cancer was the reason for his mental decline. This is again going to be interesting how history will look at his for years.
