Politics The Joe Biden Thread

Wow, I don't remember anyone claiming that Biden wasn't old, but that was never the point, was it? Nope, you claimed that it was obvious that the man was suffering from "dementia" and after requesting that you provide proof, you claimed that you did not have access to his medical records. I then provided them for you. Your snide comment about his stuttering problem does not at all dispute actual facts, which is that he actually does not suffer from "dementia"...If you wanna have a discussion, please try to keep things in their proper context.

First, I'd like to know why you say he's an "heartless bastard", because he's neither? Second, how many times have you had to endured the same itinerary and in so many different time zones as Biden has in the last few days? It's surely taxing on the mind and body, even for a young man. Should Joe run again? No, but for reasons known only to yourself, you are somehow regaling in someone else's misfortune...kudos.

 

Same response as before...how often have you had to endure the same schedule as Biden has in the last few days?..."creature comforts" be damned.

Jet lag disorder

 

^^^Well said, very well said. And I echo your sentiments about Biden's cabinet. The quality of the cabinet members a POTUS selects and surrounds himself with, is often a huge factor in his success...Those cabinet members/advisors offer their slant/opinion on topics which can help the POTUS make an educated decision... and Joe has some smart people in those positions instead of a bunch hand puppets as with the previous administration.

 

Risk factors
Factors that increase the likelihood you'll experience jet lag include:

• Number of time zones crossed. The more time zones you cross, the more likely you are to feel jet lag.
• Flying east. You may find it harder to fly east, when you "lose" time, than to fly west, when you "gain" time.
• Being a frequent flyer. Pilots, flight attendants and business travelers are most likely to experience jet lag.
• Being an older adult. Older adults may need more time to recover from jet lag.

 

Biden doesn’t have stamina and he’s too old.

 

You just listed the job requirements of the president and made concessions about why Biden shouldn’t have to meet those requirements?
No, the president doesn’t get to work from home. He needs to go home and stay there while someone else runs. The idea that he will somehow last another 5 years is lunacy. Democrats are out of their minds defending this elder abuse.

 

Whitehouse.gov saying “no, the president is fine we promise” means nothing to me. Not exactly an unbiased source. Any adult with a brain can clearly see Biden is suffering with severe cognitive decline. The small handful of people still trying to deny it are crazy to think that idea will somehow track with people who have eyes and ears. People are saying they can see an old man mumbling incoherently, constantly losing his train of thought, falling asleep at events and being corralled by handlers, and your response is “no, read this thing that says otherwise.”
At some point you have to actually look at the world around you.

 

Didn't see anything in that list that includes "flying on Air Force One with all the creature comforts one could ask for" making a difference.

 

Ahh, I see...exaggerate much?...you could not support your claim with anything other than your myopic opinion, so now you're relegated to simply disputing the source I provided.

...sorry, I'm not impressed. I'll take Kevin O'Connor's signed testament over your unsupported claim every time.

 

I've always said both Biden and Trump are too old for the job...that hasn't changed but Biden isn't a victim, he made a choice. I also said we need better options but I'll vote for the lesser of two evils everytime. A guy like Putin uses body doubles to travel for him ..Joe should do that as well...you don't have to travel as president..FDR was wheelchair bound..you can run the office from a cell phone and a laptop these days. You can send your vice president to global meetings. The main thing is that Joe replaced the talent pool in his cabinet while Trump just kept firing everybody and closing doors on foreign diplomacy and things like doctors without borders. These things are important to me, that we use our influence as a nation for the good of the planet and not for expanding our borders as Russia and China are trying to do. Lunacy is a president that is a compulsive liar that will kowtow to dictators that hate America. Choices

 

LOL. Do you think it doesn't make a difference?

 

It's unclear how much of a difference it makes. Thanks to relativity, when you're flying in a plane you are experiencing the passage of time at a different rate than you typically do. It's not much, but it's an interesting question. How much of part of the equation is it?


Einstein was right. Flying clocks around the world in opposite directions proved it.
Time isn't the same for everyone, even on Earth. Flying around the world gave Einstein the ultimate test. No one is immune from relativity.

 

Evidently not nearly as much as you. You've evidently not done a lot of flying for long distances. If someone is fatigued from flying so much they will likely tell you that it won't matter much whether you're sleeping on Air Force One or a Holiday Inn Express. Flying as much as Biden has done this past week can be rough on anyone, regardless of age.
