Recently Biden forgot that we wanted to send WEAPONS to Ukraine and AID to Gaza. Ooopsie, little mishap there!
I imagine something in his head like:
On the other hand, I can only imagine what goes on in Trump's head is like:
(slightly edited to make it SFW)
TRULY the WORST timeline! :-(
Trumps brain is more filled with
But obviously without such clear wording and thought patterns.
I dunno, maybe the first time, and certainly his handlers think so strategically - even Hitler himself reputedly didn't really care so much about concentration camps, he just said "yeah sure why not?" when someone floated the idea (obviously there's additional complexity there).
My point though is that Biden isn't the only one having "senior moments", even though I hear about Biden having those easily 100x (1000x?) more often than Trump having one - the idea of fair reporting of "news" is LONG dead it seems:-(. (Thank goodness Jon Stewart is back though!!!!!:-P)
Edit: oh, I found one! (where a mainstream news organization reports an example involving Trump rather than focusing more exclusively on Biden) From the good old Guardian too, usually a source that I can count on, at least in the past: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/03/trump-confuses-obama-biden-virginia-rally.
Go watch Biden on Seth Myers last week and tell me he has dementia after that.
That's... not how dementia works.
First you have "bad days".
Later you have "good days".
Then and only then do some people finally start accepting what may have begun decades ago in the past.
Source: clearly I must have dementia too, if that is the only way to know that one has it? :-P
BTW, I never said, nor even implied, that he has dementia. I mentioned that he has trouble recalling things, from time to time, and that in a crucial matter that might be relevant. Crucial matters do not come at you only at scheduled times of your choosing and which you can cancel if you need to. Whether it goes all the way to full-blown dementia or not though is not for me to say. Oh, I just looked up the definition of dementia - so yeah I guess I am saying that to me, it looks he has dementia:-). But what I mean is that whether it's a 1 on a scale of 100, or a 10 or a 20 or whatever, I could not begin to say, just that I am worried that it is not zero.
Though so too does the other guy - and his might be up to sth like 80 at this point - so I'm not talking about "both sides-erism" and I'm so fucking tired of pretending that the only things that ever exist are the two extremist polar opposites of one another, with literally nothing else allowed to exist in the vast gulf between them. Whether I say any of this or a mod removes it or whatever, people are still worried about it regardless - it's a real worry.
That said, he and his team have greatly surpassed my expectations from his first term and I hope I get the chance to see how well that combo performs in his second, even though I suspect that the part of it that involves "him" will diminish greatly.
