We *all* get a big slower as we get older...around age 37 is when you start walking into a room, can't remember why you came there, and start to worry you've got Early Onset Dementia. My mother was - I thought - a real space case when she was my age, now I'm that age and I realize her problem wasn't brain fluffiness but she was just *OLD…

My mother was - I thought - a real space case when she was my age, now I'm that age and I realize her problem wasn't brain fluffiness but she was just *OLD* :) And Biden is much older than any of us, except my mother ;) Who sitll doesn't have dementia although she's definitely in no mental condition to lead the country (she's 90). I see none of the problems with Biden that I see with Mom although I don't monitor him 24x7. Mostly he reminds me of a classic movies-era cowboy with the flinty eyes and the gravely voice and the more take-no-shit attitude. Is he fuzzier than you and I? Undoubtedly, but I'll bet we'll never be that smart when we're 80.
He's STILL got more going on than the Orange Menace, who couldn't complete a thought beyond the capability of a fourth grader, and if you compare Trump to the interviews Trump gave when he was much younger, like in his fifties, he was a lot more eloquent and less crazy-sounding. Biden wasn't my first pick either but that' who the Dems went with and hell, i'd have voted for Homer Simpson over Trump.
I was forgetting what I came downstairs for when I was 18. I was smoking a lot of weed. Short term memory loss is a well-known thing. We laughed about it.
Sometimes I find myself groping for a word, but that isn't new.
No, when he was younger he was pretty conservative. And anyway the memory effects are temporary, you forget while you're stoned, not for the rest of your life.
I smoked a lot of strong weed for decades, then quit around 1990 and when I started again six years later I smoked much, must less. Stoned I aced calculus exams in college; stoned I wrote code at Microsoft. My memory is fine, especially for numbers.
I don't think Biden is in much bad shape. I'd certainly trust his mind more than Trump or Walker.
Biden was tough on crime, and you can find video of him as a young Senator speaking with a stutter or word salads. I don't think it was pot.
A thing that I notice that people who have never cared for a loved one with dementia is the way his wife, handlers and even vice-President direct him to keep him from wandering, both in speech and action. It reminds me of the way my sisters and I had to care for our mom in her final years. A sad, but familiar sight.
Not trying to argue, our opinions are our own based upon our own experience.

Maybe Biden smoked a lot of weed back in the day :)
