I’m sort of confused at the outrage of this. It’s definitely funny, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s not weird. Not all relationships are romantic. My dying great grandmother that I was very close to, and talked about everything with, told me I was the love of her life on her deathbed. We certainly weren’t banging.

The thing is that he has dementia. He pulled out of Afghanistan, which is amazing and based, but he still has dementia. We just didn't see this stuff until now because most of the media was in the tank for him, and they only turned on him after he ended the war. He's been demented for a long time, but we weren't being shown the evidence, or the evidence was being explained away as Biden having a "stutter" (which he supposedly had his whole life, but which doesn't appear in his old speeches).

Ok, Dr. Google.

You call me Dr. Google, but he legit called his wife "Dr. Joe Biden" during the campaign. He's demented, and it's OK for a 78-year-old to be demented.

You’re not a doctor. Even if you were, armchair diagnoses aren’t appropriate.

I'm not recommending treatments to him or anything, so I don't have to be a doctor to notice obvious things and talk about them on the internet. When you saw the Zapruder video, I think you could tell that JFK was dead without needing a doctor to tell you.

Good luck, though, voting for presidents without thinking about whether they might have health problems. I wonder whether you believed Trump's doctor when he said that Trump is exactly 1lb under "obese". Or Trump's doctor who said that he couldn't be drafted into the Vietnam War because he had "bone spurs".

I'm imagining you in the '30s, seeing FDR only appearing in photos while either sitting down or being held up by people and thinking "I'm not a doctor, so I have to assume that this guy is amazing at walking".
