Holy shit, guy with a stutter and a long and storied history of misstatements and malapropisms says something incorrect. News at 11:00, folks!

It's more like following breadcrumbs to the edge of a cliff.

If you don't look up and look around, and see the whole picture, and instead just continue to follow the breadcrumbs, you'll fall down into the chasm.

Mental cognitiveness is a valid thing to judge someone by, when you're voting for them.

There were two viral outbreaks during Biden's term as VP: H1N1 in 2009 and Ebola in 2014. At no point does the article quote Biden as mentioning COVID. The article doesn't even attribute what event they're quoting from.

At some point, you need to recognize that focusing on stupid gaffes is a great way to distract from the draconian policies the fascists are gearing up to shove down our throats. Waste of fucking time and intellect.

He was Vice President for eight years. He's been President for less than four. Sometimes, I accidentally refer to myself as a support engineer, even though I haven't been one for years, because I was one for a long time. Misstatements happen - especially when you're talking about a guy with a stutter and a history of talking before his brain has caught up.

Let it go, guys. The "he's got dementia" shit didn't land in 2020, and it's not gonna land now.

He’s also 81 now, which he wasn’t in 2020. Dude is not getting and sharper, you don’t need to apologize for him.

I'm not. He has a clean bill of health from his medical team, and of the two serious candidates running, he's not the one whose doctors had him take a cognitive assessment.

Again, let it go. Biden doesn't have a family history of dementia, and it's unlikely he's going to develop it before he dies. Stop trying to turn misstatements into a diagnosis, Dr. Lemmy.
