    ngl, there are a lot of things things hitting the media about Joe Brandon after the octogenarian debate performance and the ‘nothing after eight o’clock’ comments. Nobody wants the old codger for part deux, it seems.

    It’ll come out in some years that Joe Brandon was suffering Old Timers disease his second run of presidency, drawing parallels to Reagan.

    Imagine being Kopmala in all this. Brandon’s Veep and not even being seriously floated as a replacement/take-over/etc candidate. lol.

    To be honest, I don’t think I believe he has Parkinson’s. To my knowledge it doesn’t track with his symptoms and it is entirely possible that someone else in the white house is being treated for it. All the same, it’s very clear at this point that Biden is suffering from his age and is probably experiencing dementia. But this feels like something that’s just getting rolled into the feeding frenzy of people finally acknowledging his state.

      I don’t think the issue is whether or not he actually has it. It’s that there’s def a doctor checking to make sure he doesn’t which mean he’s got some real fucking bad health and combined with the 10-4 work schedule says he’s being propped up for a few hours a day and the rest of the time he’s probably not even lucid.

        Maybe. It could also be something else. The important thing for me is that this is neither confirmed nor necessary to express and demonstrate how unfit for office Biden is. Focus on the obvious evidence. I don’t really believe it, but it could even be a red herring to be disproven and then used to paint doubters of his mental faculties as “conspiracy theorists”.

      My impression is that there’s a coup happening in the party. I noticed that the media didn’t even try to play it off when he fell apart at the debate.

      The taboo talking about the fact that he’s a vegetable has finally been broken, and it seems like the oligarchs want him gone.

      It would be wild if it comes out that not only does he have Parkinson’s, but he’s using medical marijuana to control his symptoms:

      Eight-seven percent of patients (n = 60) were noted to exhibit an improvement in any PD symptom after starting MC. Symptoms with the highest incidence of improvement included cramping/dystonia, pain, spasticity, lack of appetite, dyskinesia, and tremor.

      Here’s a short video of the effects in action. Night & day difference in <5 minutes.

      dementia combined with weed for the Parkinson’s and Adderall for focus would be a hell of a cocktail
