Is there any evidence for Joe Biden's cognitive decline besides Trump saying it? Donald Trump says a lot of things and has admitted he'll lie when he thinks it helps him.

Is the New York Post story the Hunter Biden laptop story? I've seen plenty of reporting on it and the details seem pretty sketchy.

It's telling that the first two videos are 5 seconds long and barely contain a full sentence. Couldn't find a, let's say, 30-second clip where Biden clearly talks nonsense?

There are also plenty of times when Trump has slurred his words in speeches.

I've also said things that don't make sense. Sometimes I change my mind about what I'm going to say in the middle of saying it. I'm sure this sort of thing happens to lots of people. Lucky for me I'm not talking in front of cameras so people can collect every time I've misspoken.

There are people I'd rather see as President but given the two choices Biden is easily my preferred candidate. I'd also like to see political discussion focused more on substantial issues. I also dislike it when people attack one candidate for something while ignoring their preferred choice doing the same thing.

Do you honestly believe that the reasons you asked about are the only reasons someone would support Joe Biden over Donald Trump? I'm not a fan of Trump but I certainly don't think everyone who supports him does it because they're either crazy or family.

Biden is a studderer and that can cause merged and slurred words.

You misspelled a hateful, discriminatory word. Maybe you could do the world a favor by sticking to facts and policies, not people's appearance and attributes?

That’s an opinion piece, not from the Post’s reporting. It’s also from a commentator biased (it is the opinion section) for Trump (https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/marc-a-thiessen/).

Before Biden became the Democratic nominee there were concerns about his cognitive decline. For example the young Turks were claiming he was demented and was a bad choice. However, when he won his nomination this all got conveniently memory holed.

It’s easy to Google Biden’s cognitive decline and find some worrying videos. Also, it wasn’t Trump who started saying it - it was democratic operatives in 2019.

I hope he wins, because Trump is fundamentally unfit to be president, but I am worried about cognitive decline nonetheless.

Edited: removed incorrect reference to Clinton campaign from 2016.

> It’s easy to Google Biden’s cognitive decline and find some worrying videos.

Sure, I can find videos of Biden being a gaffe-prone stutterer probably that are older than the internet, certainly I've seen Biden doing that since before his first Presidential campaign, and it's not something that helps himmon the campaign trail.

But it's not evidence of cognitive decline, either.

> Also, it wasn’t Trump who started saying it - it was Hilary Clinton’s team when Biden was in the primaries in 2016.

Biden didn't run for anything in 2016 and so wasn't in any primaries that cycle, so that's obviously false.

You are correct - I was wrong about the Clinton team in 2016. It was in fact the democratic party in 2019. As documented in the link.

You can deny it or call it just ‘gaffes’, if you like, but people should watch the (mainstream - not YouTube fakes) videos for themselves.

Either way it’s not a rumor Trump started, and there is plenty of evidence for people to consider.

Well, sure, it's clear that that, after repeatedly asserting that the Trump attack is true without evidence, that's clearly the narrative about the Trump attack's origin that Intercept article, but none of their supposed examples actually use anything like the line of attack they try furiously to associate them with. Even as “decide on the narrative and then see why evidence we can try to use to sell it” articles go, that’s pretty weak tea.

Re:Bitchute Has Been Deplatformed by zepto on Tuesday November 03, 2020 @06:35PM (#24985244)
Here are some of the examples:

“I’m no doctor, and I had a family member whose dementia contributed to his death. I will be the last one here speculating wildly about Biden’s cognitive abilities relative to his age. But his campaign is irresponsible to let this go unexplained — or undiagnosed, if the case may be.”

https://theintercept.imgix.net/wp-uploads/sites/1/2020/03/ja...

“the question is, does he still have his stuff? How sharp is he?”

Dismiss it if you like, but there is nothing ambiguous or weak about what they said.

Not if you're wilfully blind. If you aren't, it's enough to just watch some of his videos from as little as 2-3 years ago, and compare them to today. Dude is out to lunch completely. "Stutterer" narrative doesn't hold any water when he was a pretty good public speaker just 3 years ago, and now he looks like an angry and confused old man all the time. C'mon, man!

Blatant in annotation false or outrageous claims by Trump? Trump claiming victory when votes aren't counted is something to be careful about reporting.
